I'm not Jason (obviously) but if you have the subscriptions all you have to do to move into v18 is install and activate it. Use the same activation code that you used with v17. That's one of the benefits of subscriptions! I have no idea what you are referring to with regard to free life time upgrades. If Hash Inc let you purchase such a thing you'll want to contact them (Jason) directly. Hi Rodney, thanks for your response. What I bought was the box set, and with that I mean the am program on disk and it came with the extras disk and the two disk along with the manual. I believe I paid around $300 and I thought I read that it came with the benifit of free life time upgrades, as apposed to the $79 dollar yearly subscription which limited you to free upgrades for the one year subscription period. Now I could be wrong that is why I'm looking into this any help would be greatly appreciated. To clear up any misconceptions there were no deals made between hash and myself, I just thought that was the benifit of buying the program as apposed to renting it. Thank you Thank you also robcat I appreciate your help.

Hi Jason wasn't sure where to ask this question. I see that v18 is out and I own v17 now I could be wrong but I thought that if you bought the program that it came with free life time upgrades. Is this correct I don't want to appear greedy or anything or looking for a free lunch just curious.

Very nice.

Thanks, during my search I did find that he closed his site but it looks lik the other 3 are working, thanks a lot Mike38 Thanks very much Themike38

Really i just recieved my full version of A:M and i have 2 activation codes. one is a sticker on the front cover of the disk jacket and the other is stamped right on the A:M disk itself. funny thing though is that they are both different codes

ah i see Bloody google like they arent rich enough

hi there Bigboote just thought i would let you know that the link you supplied is a 404 error

hi mouseman i was in edmonton back in the eighties then moved to vancouver but now im back i live on the north end 12707 120st. why whats up man

i do remember this, wasnt it was the opening for the website i believe. i would think in archives i remember showing it to a few buddies of mine on the road and they were very interested in it.

Hi all im back again, this time to stay.lolllll i was longhauling all over north america (truck driver) and now have a home and a place to relax.i have aquired an illness which forces me to be home and so i bought the full cd version of am. ok my question is, is that it just arrived today but am reluctant to install it. the reason is because at home i have a state of the art computer that i bought specificly for animation master and adobe after effects and such. now i have to go back into the hospital for several months and i want to install am on my laptop while im in the hospital, but when i come out i want it on my main computer, can this be done or no. any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Hi A:M folks, I just received my brand new copy of animation master the full never ending upgrade version and the extras cd along with a copy of the tin man. I started out here back in 2005 I believe, then I went long hauling.i am home now or at least off the hwy due to an illness i acquired. I am now 49 but living in Edmonton Alberta Canada, and i really want to get into the 2d and 3d animations. Since i am now on what they call disability i have chosen to get reeducated in the animation field. I am hoping to start college at a school here in Edmonton called Pixel Blue, they seem to have a well organized curriculum and the courses i want. Im not into gaming or such but i am really into special and visual effects, and advertising. it seems to me there are a lot of commercials now going to animation. im not interested in trying to learn 3ds or Maya nor can i afford them so my choices are Animation Master because of its ease and the fact that im used to it and its interface. i have also purchased adobe premier suit so with all this and the great team of the helpfull folks here in the A:M forums i have no dought i will complete my new goals with ease. Hello all its great to be back so lets have some fun.

hi all ok i am running a windows platform with the v16a version and i bought the extra cd.there is no direct link to the library but i do want to put these in my library. i did copy and paste the cd into the v16 folder but still doesnt show up in the libray can anyone help on this subject. thanks mike

im running the v16 64 bit and when i go to save an animation the only option it gives me is .avi and not .mov

sorry to bother but does anyone know how to upload a short move file. i have tried to upload lesson 2 short avi file of 13.5mb but it tells me this type of file is not allowed. thanks mike

thanks Rodney I too think i should have been sleeping instead of being up allnight playing with AM ( good thing im single or im sure i would be soon ) Ill have to go in and see that i am using the correct path. I do like the info on aquiring a pic for the library as i believe you are correct that some contributers did not add a pic in there. thanks again Mike

Yes. Sorry. I should have said 32bit. (I should have been sleeping rather than typing ) thanks ill give it a try. one more thing is that i downloaded the extras cd and i put it in the v16 folder but in the tabs all it shows me is a question mark over the folders, why is this. You guys are going to regreat me coming back to am.lollllll

yes i have loads of hard drive space i just bought a new system and it has 2-2tb sata 7200rpm drives, the save path i am trying to save to is in my documents i created a file for all the am projects i do. like i say i was able to save a png and it did save 930kb of the avi move but thats it. thanks mike

Hi Rodney yes i am running the 64 bit download. not sure what you mean about net render or how that works, and are you saying i need to download the 24 bit version, ( i thought the othe version was 32 bit ).i was able to save a png file of this but still no luck saving the avi file except for about 3 frames of it. i did double check and yes i have it set for 00:02:00. thanks Mike

hi Robcat i tried that and it did work a little but will only alow me to save 3 frames of it. i am running windows 7 on the 64 bit download

hi there i now am the proud owner of AM v16 i did lesson number 2 the chorus line but it wont let me save the animation, i keep getting ( aviFileCreateStreamError ) then i get ( unableToSaveFile ) anyone know why????????? thanks Mike

Mike, Generally each finished exercise is posted into each exercise topic as you work your way through the manual. Then as you post the last one let everyone know you've completed them all. If you've got them collected you are welcome to post them all right in a topic of your own too of course. 'The Art of Mike!' as it were. Steve Sappington has a pinned topic on Certification in the TaoA:M forum. Definitely check that out. TaoA:M Certification! thanks alot rodney mike

Hey Rodney, i was wondering where do we post our finnished book projects for all to see so we can qualify for that kewl certification. thanks mike
