I got the movie to download. It looks cool.
3 minutes 24 sec is a long stretch to render in A:M with audio
How about this...
- Cut the audio into exact 15 second segments
- Put the first 15-second audio segment into a chor and animate the first 15 seconds. Save that out as Chor00.
- reload that Chor00 into a new PRJ. Delete the first audio and add the second audio at 15 seconds. Animate the next 15 seconds. Save the Chor as Chor01.
- reload that Chor01 into a new PRJ. Delete the second audio and add the third audio at 30 seconds. Animate the next 15 seconds. Save the Chor as Chor02.
- continue this until the whole song has been animated. Render without sound (preferably to an image sequence). Sync the video up with the original audio in a video editing program.

The download will take a while.
Instead of putting all the parts in one PRJ, how about putting each section in a chor in a different PRJ? Render each one separately and edit them together in your video editing program.

Multi-dimensional arrays let you store tables of date. Nested loops make it easy to populate and output these tables.
John Purcell suggests a multiplication table exercise.
In addition to outputting the whole table, choose a few random array elements and output their values.
The output will look like this. Format your output neatly!
Mult Table! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60 7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 63 70 8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80 9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81 90 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 table value at index 5,3: 24 table value at index 3,9: 40 -
I'm probably wrong about that. But it has something to do with...
QuoteThe Media Control Interface — MCI for short — is a high-level API developed by Microsoft and IBM for controlling multimedia peripherals connected to a Microsoft Windows or OS/2 computer, such as CD-ROM players and audio controllers.
Does your PRJ have a sound file?

My first guess is that your machine's clock is somehow making A:M think it has been nefariously set back. But I don't really know.

Someone has made a truly monitor-sized e-ink display. 25 inches or 63.5 cm.
Probably bad for animation but good for reading all those romance novels I've bought on PDF and, of course, music also.
MSRP $1700

I wonder how many paintings have these things as their subject matter, either as the primary theme or as easter eggs. I would assume our good friend Hieronymous Bosch skews the averages a bit.
There are a lot of fallen angels in classic paintings but they tend to human in form...
Luca Giordano The Fall of the Rebel Angels
I have actually seen Michelangelo's "The Torment of St. Anthony" in Ft. Worth.
These demons look very Bosch-like. It's unusual among top-tier painters, but Michelangelo was 13 when he did it

Joshua Reynolds is known for his finely-done portraits.
This one is a bit of an outlier.

This 1963 short film is said to be the first computer animation where the image is not only rendered by a computer but also the motion is calculated by computer. The first physics simulation.
Actually, I doubt they had many tools for manual keyframing back then so getting the computer to figure it all was probably the way to go.
This was programmed in FORTRAN, rendered frame-by-frame on a monitor of some sort, then captured frame-by-frame on film for presentation.Notice that there is hidden line removal as the obelisk tumbles. I am unsure if the sphere is a 3D creation or not.

Arrays let you store a set of data under one name.
Arrays can be a set of almost any data type, even one you created your self.
Sample Project
Write a program that prompts the user for 5 items of data, then prints the 5 items back out.
Example output...
I'm Using Arrays! ---------------- Enter a name: Crusty Enter a name: Dusty Enter a name: Musty Enter a name: Lusty Enter a name: Bartholomew These are the names you entered... Name 0 Crusty Name 1 Dusty Name 2 Musty Name 3 Lusty Name 4 Bartholomew Done!
John Purcell suggested a program that stores the multiples of 12 in an array and then prints them out.
The output might look like this...
Twelves! the multiples of 12 are... 12 x 0 = 0 12 x 1 = 12 12 x 2 = 24 12 x 3 = 36 12 x 4 = 48 12 x 5 = 60 12 x 6 = 72 12 x 7 = 84 12 x 8 = 96 12 x 9 = 108 12 x 10 = 120 12 x 11 = 132 12 x 12 = 144 Done!

Turning the variabels on parameters gives me weird effect.
It doesn't line up, it just jumps away.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?

This looks painful.
I wonder how this works without the base being bolted down to the desk.
I wonder how many bend cycles it can take.
I expected it to be absurdly expensive but it's only about $1500, which is merely too expensive.

I guess I'm not the target market for modern art, then. I can't imagine owning one of these even if I was a billionaire.
I've read that fake Rothkos are a widespread problem among museums and collectors. There is so little to them, it is too easy to make one.

Yeah. 15 is just a number I dreamed up. Any reasonably short segment length will work as long as you know exactly where to put them in the timeline.
