This guy shows a process for creating holographic images manually... by scratching plastic?
He admits to difficulty in creating truly 3D shapes, but other people do it well.
I'm wondering... Could A:M somehow be used simplify/streamline the planning for this?

Oh Yeh and QuickTime isn' t available in amv19.
I rendered that file in v19!
You have to install 32-bit v19.
Copy the master0.lic file from your 64-bit A:M to your 32-bit A:M to activate it.

That is first-class work, Michael!
Happy St. Pat's to you, too! -
If I render just one minute of pendulum, the resulting AVI plays fine. There may be some general problem with large AVIs.
-
Try playing this...
-
To test, I made a 3 minute animation of a pendulum doing 1 beat per second.
If I render to AVI, the first 30 seconds are messed up but the rest looks normal.
If I render to Quicktime, it all looks correct. (I chose "Animation" as the Codec)
If you still have Quicktime installed, you can render to QuickTime from 32-bit A:M. I think most video editing apps will still recognize QuickTime files.

Great looking character!
More red on the red neck!

Unless it's not being interpreted correctly by the video editing program, there should be no difference in synch between a 30fps image sequence and a 30fps video.
However, back in the 90s AVI was notorious for poor audio synch. I don't know if that was ever fixed.

Did you try AVI uncompressed?
-
I'm not sure what "tga.avi" is.
-
- Does the error always happen when you render on the PC?
- The appearance of these is quite different. What else did you change?
- Try rendering to AVI "Uncompressed" on the PC. Then compress in some other app.
- I rarely render to a video format. I usually render to an image sequence and then join the sound in some editing app.

v19 will be the last for Macintosh support.
A v19.5 is being tested for Windows.

After some more testing, my Zoom-ing is also usually affected with temporary bad views although not exactly as yours is.

This does seem to work. Everything is solid and stable if I do this first. I don't need to hold it down, one press is enough.

I presume that is indeed some video card malperformance. Can you revert to a previous driver?
My video is just the "integrated" video of the CPU and it generally works well but I have a situation where if I make a bounding box selection, no CPS will appear selected until i hit SPACE to refresh. Also, sometimes the view will get temporarily shifted from where it was, or a previous viewpoint will reappear, then resolve to what I should be seeing.
I get the sense that these video cards don't throw out old images until they have to make room for new ones, so sometimes an old screen is mistakenly referenced and displayed.

Is there not someone associated with the store that can look up and verify my purchase on March 7 and send me an activation code?
That's Jason. Has he answered your PM yet?
Update: I am informed that Jason has resolved this problem. Thanks, Jason!

I'm always baffled by this question. Every time I've bought a sub the email with the key shows up immediately.
Last time someone said they hadn't gotten a key I went to the store and bought a new sub just to see if the store was working and... the key arrived immediately.
I'm baffled!
However...After I log into the store there is a list on the right like this...
Does that not even appear?
It leads to a page that has "Serial Keys" at the bottom (you have to scroll down)
-
@cribbidaj If it hasn't been mentioned, you can look up your activation code on the Hash Store site by logging into the store with the account you used to purchase the sub.

You can comment on work members post and I bet you can even answer some questions they may have!

... will I be able to exchange files between the two computers and versions, or do I need to purchase v.19.0k for the Windows machine in order to exchange files with no compatibility issues?
There should be no problem going from k to p. There should be no differences between Mac and PC files. The are all text files.
The only rare problem in going from p to k is some feature like this that was added between k and p...
QuoteParticlesystem Streak and Blobbie there is a new Boolproperty "Color change over lifetime" , this controls how the color is changed as default the color is changed over the lifetime from each particle, if it set to "Off" the color change is done for all particles equal
If you used that property in p and took the file to k it might have an unpredictable result. But that's the only instance of such a case I can find after scanning the update logs.
It's unlikely you have used it.
Quote...or do I need to purchase v.19.0k for the Windows machine in order to exchange files with no compatibility issues?
If you have already bought and installed v19.0p on your Windows machine you can also install and run v19.0k for no extra charge. You could have both installed at the same time if you really needed it. But I doubt you will need to.

Installed the lamps in the waiting room and composed a 50 sec. crane down/dolly right shot that seems to ask the question "Why is there only one person waiting in this huge room?"
Headline on the man's paper should read "PLAGUE EMPTIES CITY"

I guess anyone that can convince someone to give them a few hundred million to make a movie about 8 foot tall blue rabbit people has to know what's up.
He is rare among high-profile directors to have never had a box-office flop. Spielberg, Scorcese, Tarrantino have all had expensive disappointments but not Cameron. Even "Piranha II" seems to have done well enough to encourage a "Piranha 3D".

I bet he never has to buy lunch, for all the studio VIPs and agents inviting him out, eager to do some project with him.

Here's how I think it could work...
You have a plane with a circle on it that is relationshipped to change radius depending on how far along the Z axis it is.
You place the center on any point you want to make an arc for and it sizes the circle for you.
You have a clear piece of plexiglass over your monitor and scratch away with the circle as your guide for compass center and distance.
When you're done you paint the back of the plexiglass black.
