I'm not sure what you mean. When I press the tiny buttons, the value increments/decrements by 0.1. I rarely use that. If I click and drag left/right on a value it will increment/decrement by 1.0 If I SHIFT-click and drag left/right on a value it will increment/decrement by 10.0

How interesting! I like watching the time lapses although I dont' understand all the decisions the process makes. Could you have avoided all the extra support material for the globe holder if the big C shape had been split down the center and made as two halves to be glued together?

An apt apparition! Hope you had a happy Halloween, John!

May your Halloween be hysterical! Here's some scary animation. Boo!

Note: this post is incomplete yet and needs some editing. Starting a new MFC "Single Document Interface" style program in Visual Studio 2022. The second video in this playlist of MFC tutorials demonstrates the basics of getting a plain-generic Windows program authored in Visual Studio 2015 This post is to document the difference between what is shown in that video and the current situation in VS 2022. Video time - 0:35 Add new Project to solution (this presumes you already a "solution" loaded in VS) (In this image I am adding the new Project to an existing folder in an existing solution) Choose MFC App, then Next 0:40 Enter Project name (location should default to being in your existing Solution) 2:10 Choose Project options This screen mimics the choices in the video 2:12 The VS 2015 screen in the video at 2:12 has no exact match in VS2022 2:14 This VS2022 screen is default auto-populated with names based on the project name. 2:17 The VS 2015 screen in the video at 2:17 has no exact match in VS2022 2:19 Choose Interface features This screen matches the choices in the video 2:32 Choose Advanced features This screen matches the choices in the video 2:37 Generated Class Options This screen is default populated with class names based on your Project name. 2:51 Created Project 5:30 Compiling the Project now should run default MFC "Single Document Interface" window: 12:15 i had to delete the "Save" Button from the _256 toolbar 17:30 Choose Project>Class Wizard instead of "Add Class", then choose MFC in wizard 18:00 Choose from drop down list first then edit ClassName Then OK, then OK in Class Wizard window

So... this converts the circular motion of the inner gear into linear motion by the middle color chip. But what is the "time" element?

That animation is a bit... RUFF!

All the kids will be doing it!

Chapter 21 Break and Continue Break and Continue give you ways to bypass instructions in a loop When break is encountered the program skips to the end of the loop and regards the loops as finished Exercise: copy your Week 10 X-maker program code to a new project and modify it with break so that it only prints a maximum of 10 Xs Example output Making Xs! How many Xs do you want? 6 XXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 2 XX How many Xs do you want? 25 XXXXXXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 57 XXXXXXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 0 I'm done! When continue is encountered, execution skips to the end of the loop, but then returns to the start of the loop and continues iterating the loop as before. Exercise: Write a program that prints out a range of numbers and after each one prints "is not a multiple of 3"... unless the number IS a multiple of 3, for which it prints nothing after the number. Use continue to skip the that message. Hint: This program probably makes some use of the modulo operation (%). sample output: Multiple of Three? 1 is not a multiple of 3. 2 is not a multiple of 3. 3 4 is not a multiple of 3. 5 is not a multiple of 3. 6 7 is not a multiple of 3. 8 is not a multiple of 3. 9 10 is not a multiple of 3. 11 is not a multiple of 3. 12 13 is not a multiple of 3. 14 is not a multiple of 3. 15 16 is not a multiple of 3. 17 is not a multiple of 3. 18 19 is not a multiple of 3. @Roger @Shelton @Rodney

William Hennes @willaim is so busy doing cool things with A:M that he never gets around to posting it here, so I'm posting it for him! "Replacement" animation is a variation of stop-mo where, instead re-posing a clay or rigged model, pre-sculpted portions are swapped out for each exposure to create movement. head_animation.mp4

Interesting problem. I believe the model's "Diffuse FallOff" was set high. Try a value from 100-200

He's bringing us Winter too soon!

Tom Scott, the YouTuber so nice they gave him first names twice, has a lucid discussion of the precision problem of floating point numbers on binary computers. @Rodney @Roger @Shelton

hmmm... sounds like a @Jason Simonds matter. Possibly you've upgraded element of your computer?

That is a scary creature!

Lesson 20 For Loops Do this for your assignment: Make a program that will prompt the use for a number from 0 to 60 and print out a row of that many Xs. If the entered number is 0 the program exits. Sample run: Rows of Xs! How many Xs do you want? 8 XXXXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 13 XXXXXXXXXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 0 We're done! This project uses both "for loop" and your recently acquired "do while" skills. Hint: First write and test a for loop that prints out a row of n Xs. @Roger @Rodney @Shelton

And you're on a Mac? How about "DialogFreeze004 external JPG MAT MDL ACT CHO.prj"

Long time A:M user William Hennes @willaim is so busy with A:M that he never gets around to showing the cool stuff he does with it... so I'm posting it! Oct 15, 2022 Dwarf Head modeled in A:M, 3D printed in resin. For his "dragons of winter" project.

10 episodes! I had no idea you had put that much together. I have no knowledge of Minecraft so I can't begin to imagine what is involved in making all that. But somehow you've made a TV series in a game? I had missed your update on June 5, The A:M part looks promising too.

John, try setting Color Method>Additive Color to OFF

That's weird . The color of the sprite shows up in the reflection but not on the sprite itself. When I try it I get white-only in real time, full color in a progressive render, and white sprites with color reflections in a full render. This may become a bug report.

Happy early Halloween, John!

I thought I'd get a full color Eddie after the effect but it didn't work out... CloudEddieC000.mp4

Glad you're back on track, John!
