Wow! Can't wait to see some reports on your A:M doings with that. Sounds exciting!

Last call for entries: Monday August 10 Last call for do-overs, revisers, slow-pokers, laggards and The-Dog-Ate-My-A:M-CDers! There are enough entries to hold a vote so we definitely won't be extending this one out for another bunch of weeks. Don't sit on the fence, get your entry in on Monday!

When I got v3 I was still on a Mac. I do recall installing it on Win 2000 a few years ago just to look at it again so i presume it ran on Window 95. I don't know if it also ran on Widows 3.1 The installer won't run on Windows 7.

I have it installed so it must have run for me. Save your work frequently and progressively just in case you hit a bump.

The current Windows 10 Stumble... Windows 10 Forced Updates Causing Endless Crash Loop When I was a boy you could stop an endless loop by pulling the plug on the Commodore 64.

And for Kevin and anyone else pressing against the deadline... I will be otherwise distracted on Monday so if your image isn't quite done on Sunday proper, you can toss it over the transom on Monday and no one will be the wiser! Get your entry in on Sunday (or Monday)!

You still have the whole weekend to finish your entry!

Photoshop or other paint programs are allowed for textures, as always. You can also use a paint program to composite separately A:M-rendered elements together. Would that cover it?

While I'm toiling away on my entry I'll take a moment to note that ... You still have two days (and a fraction) to finish your entry!

That looks wonderful, Kevin! (for some reason I've been calling William "Kevin" for ten years)

Great to see you back Jeff! She looks fabulous. Hey, you still have a couple days to get in on the image contest!

Jason has provided some examples of the Hash jackets from Siggraphs past. Not all styles are available in all sizes, in fact, most styles are available in only one size. The first place winner will need to discuss their choice with Jason. And maybe that winner will be you! You have three days to finish and submit your entry!

Terribly clever, none-the-less. I wonder if it is in any way similar to how our minds filter out the thing we aren't interested in when we look at such situations.

Very impressive. The limitation seems to be that the camera must move and must create a pretty substantial parallax change among the images.

In the prize list above I forgot to include... -Seven certificates of runner-upness, awarded to the fourth through tenth place finishers. ... now added. You have four days to finish and submit your entry!

On the back of the lottery cards it says "Please play responsibly." Buying 10 at once probably didn't look good.

Final rules and how to submit your image for the "Insect" Image Contest: 1. Your image should be primarily about and show an insect. 2. Your image must be modeled and rendered with Animation:Master. 3. Your image should be 1080 pixels high and can be any width you choose. I will resize images that don't fit that dimension. 4. Submit your image, your email address and your physical mailing address in a PM (private message) via the forum to me, Robert Holmén (AKA robcat2075), by going to my profile and choosing "Send me a message". You can attach the image to a PM in the same way you attach an image to a forum post. 5. Submit your image on or before August 9 2015 (or August 10, who's counting?) 6. The submitted images will be exhibited in a thread on the forum for one week before the voting begins. 7. The voting will be conducted on a page created by Forum Administrator Jason Simonds and will begin on or about August 16 and will be open for one week. Prizes: -One Hash Siggraph Jacket, awarded to the first place finisher -Three Medals, one awarded to each of the first, second and third place finishers -Three Caricatures by Mark Largent, one awarded to each of three entrants randomly chosen from the top ten finishers -Seven certificates of runner-upness, awarded to the fourth through tenth place finishers. -Ten $1 Texas Lottery Scratch-Off Game cards, one randomly assigned to each of the top ten finishers. The Big Scratch-OFF of the game tickets to reveal the winnings (if any) and the random drawing for the Largent caricatures and will be conducted by me on a YouTube video to be recorded and posted after voting has concluded and results are known. Lottery Game winnings (if any) will be sent via PayPal to the winners. If anyone should win a large prize I reserve the right to subtract 10% to pay the income tax I will incur since i am the legal purchaser and redeemer of the game card. Any further interpretations or decisions about the rules or prizes or the conduct of the contest will be made solely by me, Robert Holmén. All decisions are final, unless i change my mind, and then I get to make a new final decision. The Texas Lottery game cards are ready and itching to get scratched! You have five days to finish your entry! Don't miss out!

You can attach it to a PM on the forum.

Another calm, reasoned article about the privacy settings... Broken Windows Theory, Microsoft’s Windows 10 is a privacy nightmare. Here’s how to protect yourself.

If you can send me the model I'll look at it.

I'll note that "lighting" is the area of 3D where A:M is most like other 3D programs. Almost all concepts in other programs will translate well to A:M. If you have a doubt or question about a detail, ask us here. For a great explanation of 3D lighting that is non-program specific I'd recommend Jeremy Birn's "Digital Lighting and Rendering" I have a thread where I translated the general terms he used into A:M terms and explore some work-arounds when what he is talking about doesn't exactly match the way A:M does it.

Looks cool! Tell us more about the projection.
