Its been a long time since I modeled anything and I needed an excuse to model something - Anna from Frozen is as good an excuse as any..... So here is my WIP - progress thread.
Hmmmmm - disappointing. Having saved the project, closed AM then reopened AM and the project - the Roto's will not display correctly - just blank white images - even after deleting and re-inserting the Roto. I had to remove the image completely from the Project, save, close AM, re-open AM then import the picture again and then re-add the roto. I imagine AM has a problem internally 'storing' the image (a jpeg).
Any Mac owners know a solution (or an image format that AM can cope with?)
AM 18a, iMac OSX 10.9.1.

Ah - yes - still working my way through the tutes - so many tools, so much to learn....
-
I'm trying this myself but the AM splines are not converting well from the Poly mesh quads. On one leg, instead of parallel slines I get a continuous spiral spline
Might see if I can find a way to reduce the mesh count even further without compromising too much detail... I love sculpting models now

With or without Mirror mode on it still works just fine for me (18a on OSX Maverick)

Ahhh - running coherance seems to have been the issue as Windows can access 2 Desktops - OSX's and Windows (which is in a different place....). It worked from the Windows Desktop folder only.

He can, but not without the machine ID which requires the running of rlmhostid.exe!
Cheers

I'd also like to point out that rlmhostid.exe does not run in the Parallels installed version of Windows 8 (it states that it is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.) so I don't appear to have the ability to transfer my license/activation codes either?
Cheers
-
I think I know the answer but I am running a MacBook Pro with Parallels and running OSX Maverick and Windows 8. I already have AM installed and running in OSX so do I need to buy a activation code if running the AM in Windows on this laptop?

On my new MacBook Pro Laptop
v18
2:15
MacBook Pro
2.6 ghz Intel i7
RAM 16gb 1600mhz DDR3
OSX Maverick 10.9.1
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2gb RAM
1Tb SSD
PS - I have Parallels and Win 8 also running on this MacBook - not sure how many resources OSX has access to with Parallels installed! Note that this test was not run in Windows but in OSX.
-
Right Click and Open and I can install it.

OK, just tried to install v18 on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.1) and get the error message;
AM.mpkg can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

A Targus USB Numeric Keypad does the trick - just plug it in and it works just fine
-
After about 10 minutes I just refreshed the blank screen and it took me to 'Step 2'. I then completed the transaction and it seems to have worked (generated the paypoment at Paypal). Now just waiting for my download links.
Cheers

Hmmmm - I just tried buying with PayPal and the whole transaction seemed to die....... Just ended up with a blank screen after authorising the payment! Will wait a while to see if any emails are generated/sent....

Has anyone worked out how to access the numeric keypad keys on a Surface Pro 2? I can get the on screen keyboard to display but the 'number pad' is simply the number keys and not the numeric keypad keys.....

Version 17 works just fine but v18 displays nothing is any view - I tried Open GL and Open GL3 but nothing shows in any of the windows (model/chor etc). So what am I doing wrong?
Cheers
Solved it - I had "Limit max drawing time" checked. Unchecked it and things started to display again.

I'm disappointed with Apple rather than Hash..... Install of the Maverick upgrade has broken a lot of my installed applications.... I'm back to using Windows.

Tablet Microsoft Surface Pro
Windows 8 64 bits
A:M v18 beta 1
render time = 3'15"
pretty fast for my eyes...
Tablet - Microsoft Surface Pro 2 (128gb - 4gb RAM) (Note the 256gb version and above have 8gb RAM)
Windows 8.1 64 bits
A:M v17g
render time = 3' 47"
I wonder if the v18 beta renders faster or your tablet has more RAM? I do find it interesting that it renders 30" quicker than my 18" i7 Qosmio Laptop.....

Wacom Pen?? The surface has a stylus (supplied) but also works with the iPad ones as well.
-
I assume AM will run on a Surface Pro 2 - has anyone tried this yet?
Cheers

Wow, some top notch entries there, a very, very hard choice......
-
I've started on this path myself but use the sculpt tools in blender instead. Interestingly, the current 'fad' appears to be to sculpt the model first then retopology over the top. I must admit that sculpting models to reference images appears to be much easier and produce a better result that building the model in patches from scratch.... It's just a matter to getting used to the scultping tools

Tried - failed. AM has not issue on importing the picture - just can't load it later from the link!
