How interesting. I'll note that I was an early tester of v18g and did all my waving grass experiments with it and it all sailed right through. I wonder how Tor is doing? IIRC, Steffen reverted to an Intel compiler for this version and an Intel-compiled version was the last one that Tor had usable graphics on.

Also to try... same image in different format.

Does it fail with any image or just one? Also... have you tried v18g that is now available?

If one of these programs had an After Effects project importer, they'd have my attention.

They sure do make "free" complicated.

Good lookin' bus!

The 1940's hi-rise underwear does look odd today.

First, make sure "alpha" is OFF in Render to File Settings>Output>Buffers

Looks cool! My crit would be that the fingers are bending in the wrong place. The separation of the fingers should not extend up to the first knuckle. It actually only goes about halfway up from the second knuckle.

Yes, you can re-order them by dragging poses to the top of the User properties folder. Drag the little cross-hair button at the far left of the pose name.

yay!

Good lookin' pumpkin!

I recall a long time ago Rafael Anzovin was on a Siggraph panel showing how he used A:M's non-linear animation to vary the breathing of a character.

i dunno but I bet some of them are putting this gig on their resume.

I wish we could have particles as a part of a combiner, then I could have little sand bits blowing off the top ridges. I suppose I could do that with a map...

I shall be curious to hear how they do.

I think the minimum AO setting is 10% and that's worked well sometimes for animation. The flickering grain kind of cancels itself out and then compression smooths things over too.

Here is a somewhat more windswept appearance....

It is all the hard-working material doing all the work.

Quick attempt to imitate the Mars surface seen in a recent Curiosity photo...

I won't be much help on programming advice, I'm afraid. There was a time when I knew Flash Actionscript but that was 10 years ago. Composite projects are something you make in the images folder. They let you combine and layer different pieces of footage in different manners, different than just varying transparency. Adobe After Effects is a more capable version of that compositing power but, A:M's composite projects are useful sometimes.

I just looked at how CP weighting is stored and it is a bit involved. Better to backtrack and re-do your work.

It may be possible with text editing to take the CP weighting from one file and insert it into another.

Simplest solution is to reload the version you saved before you made this inadvertent change and try again. I'm guessing you don't have that, however? It is possible to readjust anything at anytime but someone who knows the rig would have to see it to know what exactly has gone wrong.

What other treasures are we overlooking?
