Increase the time the action takes, while keeping the amount of repeats the same?

Yes...you are probably right. It fits in students section. Can I move the topic myself or will I need to re create it? Rodney - thanks for your help Edit: Rodney, where is the attatched...? Have I missed it somewhere?

Another try at animating the flour sack...this time it is hopping of of a crate. I think the fall takes to long... oh well. if this topic is in the wrong section just tell me sackandthecrate.mov

Thanks for the suggestions....I'll keep working. Be the flour sack...be the flour sack... I have a book on A:M (Animation:Master 2002, A Complete Guide by David Rogers) which I will check for flour sack projects. I haven't yet seen the ones you mention...If you have time to find one or two it would be great!

Well, what I mean is that it just seems like I saw you posting here in the forum. Egad! Where have I been. My apologies for not seeking you out and dragging you back. Now... get back to flour sack animating! P.S. Now that you are back, if you don't get involved in TWO... Perhaps you are thinking of someone else...I checked my 'recent posts' and have indeed been goen since January. Will do. This one is the flour sack jumping/falling over sideways. Any advice is welcome...I know I have a lot of room for improvement ...also, I'm running out of ideas for actions? Does anyone else have some? sackfall.mov

Eh??? Get outta here! It can't have been that long. Glad to see you back. Eep! Thanks for catching that. Actually just one year. I was thinking I stopped in September, when really it was early January. Thanks!

I have been gone from A:M for a very long time! (1.5 years) I suddenly realized that today and decided to dust it off and play with a simple flour sack...I thought it would be a good exercise to make a walk cycle and possibly a few other actions. I am quite rusty and would like some tips for improvement. Thanks! sackwallk.mov

I don't have 12.9q yet... I got distracted and just tried it again today after doing nothing and it worked fine...I will get the update, however.

it might still be on the CD, i'm not sure. i'll have to check when i get home.

I'm trying to finish all of TAoAM and was just about to start the one where they all do the cancan...number two i think. i open a choreography, and start to drag the stage to the choreography window...then a window pops up that says "parameter is incorrect" and the mouse dissapears onthe AM screen...help?

I saw this in the contest...what does it mean to be "The Art of A:M" Alum? Edit: Wow, i must have selective sight...i was looking at the stickies but somehow i missed the one that completely explains this. very sorry.

did you have a side rotoscope to work from as well?

wait...did you mean mixer? If so its so far so good. details later on, of course, right?

cute little guy...how did you do the hair?

You really are into mechanical modeling, huh? Well, anyways, it looks great so far...interested to see the whole thing...

wow! when i first saw it i thought it was actually a drawing. Great stuff...and at the airport? I'd be sleeping...well of course i don't have a laptop

I hate to be a critic but that's one gnarly butt he's got there... lol a character without arms...definiteyl would make it hard to act with.

my first model was a cactus...YES a cactus! it had three branchy thingies and was But seriously, thats great for a first model! i wait to see more...

Good luck! I like the jeans and the boots.

Great job! I always like to visit the wip section and see things develop. I'm not sure on the squash & stretch on the eyeball though, it looks a little cartoony. Although if you really want to go for that its fine, just an observation. I know you're done editing it but i just cant resist commenting.

I always wondered how to do that... Yeah...robcat, you're right...thanks back to work! -m. trower

i just realized i did the belt wrong

beastboy is a character from "teen titans", a show one of my friends used to watch. here I am so far...as you can see in the roto, there are black stripes on his torso, however, the mesh does not lend itself to that...any suggestions besides redoing the torso? thanks -m. trower

robot meets toaster I added to lights and made the face thingy sunken...on to smartskinning...

this might just be me seeing things, but i think one of the pencils is going through the other one
