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!

Thanks, Malo! I meant to delete "Delete.prj". D'oh! Interesting. For me, missing images and materials will still get a dialog opened without a freeze, but missing models, actions and chors will get a freeze.

vaseX.mdl should be a valid model. It was empty?

@Phil What version of Windows are you on and what graphics do you have? thanks!

Thanks, Phil! Are you saying that it opened a dialog to find the mdl but still froze?

Can no one test this?

Hi Vance, I think all browsers have discontinued ftp for some security reason that someone once explained to me but I have forgotten. However, there is still access to the Hash ftp with an ftp client (Filezilla is free) without entering a username or password. Give that a try.
