  1. DL,

     

    WOW.........

     

    Your layput, lighting and effect is great and something I would like to be able to emulate in my own short. Any chance you can give us some pointers (not after the undersea effect - just the soft painterly look)

     

    Cheers

  2. Well I first started out with AM back in '99 and dropped it for a new hobby (Astronomy) in 2002.

     

    Now I'm back and have just moved from v9.5 to v11 (wow - what a difference) and am working on a short of a very short story written by a collegue at work.

     

    Anyway, I am using Alan Desroches (Spelling??) models from his Archive CD's so I do not claim the modelling :-) The link provides access to a couple of tests - Hopping (it will be a hopscotch thing when completed) and a walk cycle and I would love some feedback (I am very much the novice so don't hold back - I need to learn)

  3. What is it that makes Paste Mirrored work? On some models I just pose, make keyframe, copy then move to a new frame and paste mirrored and it works. BUT there are some models that I follow the same process on that do not seem to work, pasting only some bones (even as low as 1 or 2 bones) and not all (even though I have the all bones icon selected)

     

    Cheers

  4. Yes - Steve emailed me my new code for the 3 Lic version this morning.

     

    I assumed that it would work for all versions to date but in any case I downloaded the version of Net2004 from the 10.5 folder contained in the 2004 folder on the ftp site. I also downloaded the same file from the 2003 folder which installed as the same version as the one from the 2004\Old folder. (all from the hashmirror ftp site mind you.) and that didn't work either.

     

    Cheers

  5. Are there any know issues with the Hasp and Net2004 V10.5r? I've just updated my Hasp and it works fine with Net2002 v9.5 and Net2004 v11.0 but not with Net2004 v10.5r

     

    I emailed Hash but its the weekend so I'm probably not going to hear anything for a couple of days.

     

    Cheers

  6. Well 'Contraint' returned no results in the Technical Reference and it's going to be about 3 hours before the download of thomcontraints finishes (would have been nice if these tutorials could have been added to the CD - if there's not enough space - maybe it's time for a DVD!)

     

    As a starter, can anyone tell me how I can add a contraint of any type? I know how to do it in 9.5 but I cannot find anywhere in v10.5 or 11 that gives me any option to select a bone and then a constraint (such as orient like)

     

    Cheers

  7. Hi all. I have a project in v9.5 which I have brought into v10.5 and v11t but the camera depth of field render does not appear to be working. The objects at the very back are out of focus but everything else is in focus regardless of where I set the near and far focus bars (ie I set the far focus to 10 centimeters behind the target but objects out to about 11 metres are still in focus)

     

    Cheers

  8. I built a corr in v9.5 with Yves skylight rig and got a nice diffuse llight ook to my renders. I loaded the same project into V11 and rendered and it rendered near black. I haven't had time to try upping the light intensitity yet but thought I would ask if there are any known issues?

     

    I have made the jump directly from 9.5 to 11 and don't know about anything that happened in between.

  9. I am trying to animate a little short based on a collegues short, short story. It entails a game of hopscotch and I am animating the hop.

     

    Am I better off animating on the spot like a walk cycle with stride length for each type of hop (one leg landing, 2 leg landing , 1 leg takeoff, 2 leg takeoff) or just creating an action of the entire sequence. I would prefer the former for re-use but think tying the actions together might be a little problematic for my limited experience.

     

    I will be upgrading in 2005 (well on the earliest opportunity in 2004 to get full 2005 service)

     

    Cheers

  10. I have returned to AM after a couple of years. I'm trying to run AM9.5 on my Laptop and its just a little flakey. Some projects load, others crash while loading and others crash when trying to render and some seem to work fine (these are all pre 9.5 projects)

     

    Is there a known compatability issue with XP/XP Home?

     

    I'm running XP Home (SP1) on a Toshiba A70/800 laptop with 3.2 Ghz Intel P4 chip, 512mb RAM, ATI Radeon 9000 graphics card.

     

    Cheers
