You can still join our new C++ study group! It's fun, it's exciting, all the cool kids are doing C++ these days.

That is an interesting Hair result! Almost like a robe!

@Rodney @Roger @Shelton Robbie For our first meeting you will want to get four things done. Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 "Community" edition Sign up for a free account to Udemy.com. Enroll in free Udemy course "C++ Tutorial for Complete Beginners" and watch Lesson 1 "Introducing C++" Get a personal Google Account so you will be able to attend our Google Meet sessions. Get the computer you will use to do C++ set up with a microphone and earphones so you can participate in our Google Meet session. No camera needed. Getting Visual Studio... Go to https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ and choose the "Free Download" of the "Community" edition You will be prompted to save a setup file. Save it to where you can find it, like to your desktop... Run the Setup file. It will lead you through several steps... The installer will give you many options for downloads. Uncheck everything except "Desktop development with C++" We'll check your installation at our first meeting. You will be able to add Getting course at Udemy... When you put "C++ Tutorial for Complete Beginners" in the Udemy search bar you should get an option for a course taught by John Purcell. Choose than one! It is free.

Welcome to A:M, @Madfox! Glad to have you! Cool to see what Tubehead is all about! He was trippy.

We appreciate your efforts on behalf of A:M, Jason!

For anyone following along... After some testing, Saladeen and I concluded "Mirror Constraints" was working correctly except for Spherical Euler Limits. That may be a bug that needs to be reported.

That could be a Who from Whoville.

If you want to send the "before" version to me in a PM I'll look at it. You can take the mesh out if you don't want share that.

That's a guy who's had his first beer. 😀

The constraints that have a 2 in the name after the % sign are very suspicious. The "Before" version has some of those. Are those intentional or accidental?

Project Workspace. Can you show me some of the heirarchy where the extra left is showing up?

I think I know what you mean. Can you show a shot of your PWS before and after?

We are still planning to start the new C++ Study Group on June 4 and you still have time to get on board the C++ train. If you have not already, PM me if you are interested. C++ is the language of A:M and just about anything else that does anything useful.

Hi Korge, You may be thinking of "Animate! with Cristin McKee" which was produced by Anzovin studios rather than Hash. Last I heard, she has officially withdrawn it and intends it to be not available. However, you might find a second-hand copy on ebay or likewise. I never saw it but I do recall an animation demonstration by her at Siggraph that made me realize, "Ah... this doesn't have to take forever!"

I thought of Bertram when I saw this picture of Mary Kelly, a girlfriend of Jack Benny long before he married Mary Livingstone.

Note for everyone... copy the master0.lic file from your current v19 folder to your new v19.5 folder and tht will activate v19.5 for you. Recall that 64-bit versions of programs are in your (C:)Program Files folder and 32-bit versions are in your (C:)Program Files (x86) folder.

Perhaps @Jason Simonds can help.

Hooray! And that's a modern Mac with an M1 processor? I'd be curious to hear what the results are for the Three Teapots benchmark, in v15 and v19

V15 still has the OpenGL/Direct3D option v19.5 (not out yet) will have an option to not install AVX... However, I presume early versions like v15 won't have any AVX either?

I suppose you already tried setting A:M to use OpenGL 1 instead of 3? Did you try a version of A:M that uses Direct X?

So you can't even get a wireframe view? I presume render-to-file works. Do onscreen (Q or SHIFT-Q) final renders work? I wonder if previous versions of A:M would behave differently

Was that truck in one of Spleen Gene's videos?

I found out that shape is called a Squircle.

We are looking at starting in June, probably Sunday evening June 4. There is still time to inquire and/or join the C++ study group, where we begin learning C++ from scratch! It can be done, so you might as well do it! @Roger @Shelton @Rodney

You want to transfer an A:M sub? Let's tag @Jason Simonds on that, in case he missed your email.
