That looks fabulous, Michael!

That is Pixar-level food depiction, and Homer looks good too!

I especially like the A:M credit.

The head of Newspaper Typesetters Local 451 wants you to know that that is a perfectly normal headline and if you don't like it he and the boys will be happy to discuss it with you.

Also... can we see this hand in lighting in the chor instead of in the model window?

[Finger Frickin Flub]

Just to try, just to see what happens, we're certain to be disappointed afterward but... try switching the decal type from bump to displacement.

[Finger Frickin Flub]

Are all the normals facing the same way (out)?

[Models to share]

That's a lot of crazy models! Thank you for the stash!

I have sometimes thought "Food and Drink" would be a fun contest topic but I'm not sure we'd get many entries.

[Copying Bones & CPs]

Hi Edward,

In the PWS Objects folder you can drag the name of one model onto another model name to copy the entire model (CPs, Bones, even constraints I think) into the second one.

If you only wanted to copy a portion, you could load a copy of the first model, delete the portions you don't want to transfer... and then do the drag.

[Half Of Hollywood’s Top 10 Most Profitable Films Last Year Were Animated]

11 hours ago, Roger said:

Seems like a bit of a stretch to call Deadpool and Dune Part 2 animated movies.  It would be more accurate to say that they are very heavy on the CG imagery. 

I took that list to be the top ten movies over-all, live or animated, of which five are animated.

I wondered why they didn't note "Sonic" as animated, but it turns out it's a"live action" movie.

Hi @robcat2075, will the website for 3D Painter ever return? Or will the owner have to be contacted for getting access to the software moving forward? 

It is unlikely Filip will be able to get that website back.

Send a forum PM to "3DPainter" and I will see if I can direct him to that.

Does anyone know how difficult it is to sync Windows Settings with OneDrive?

Here's the AI answer, so it's possibly true

 

sync windows settings with One Drive

 

there must be some reason we don't want to do this, however.

[Sounds not showing in Chor?]

Thanks you both!

Very mysterious.

If I add a second of silence to the end of "Happy New Year.wav" it will show but only as a flatline (but still be heard)

If i convert it to stereo i do get a visible waveform.

Import this wav and see if it is visible

It shows in version 18, but not 19.5. I can still hear it in 19.5 though.

Do you mean both wavs are not visible?

"slurp2.wav" doesn't show after being imported?

 

 

[Sounds not showing in Chor?]

Please load the PRJ and tell me if "Happy New Year.wav" show its waveform in the Chor.

Can you hear it if you scrub the chor timeline?

Then import "slurp2.wav" and drag it into the Chor. Does it show?

What version of A:M are you on, including the version letter?
