I think changing to a new OS will be a problem. It probably won't take any longer to wait for your new OS than to get the new key issued by Hash, so I say make thing simple... resubscribe after you have your new OS in place.

Welcome back! It was slow here without you!

Much smoother! I don't see any bounce as it is turning. The big bounce might be helped by a tiny squish (anticipation) downward before the big SPROING!

They definitely earned "The Golden Age" label that we give them today. I don't know how Scott Bradley worked but Carl Stalling, who did the music at Warner Brothers, mostly worked from an exposure sheet he got from the director. They would confer on what sort of music would be right for each scene but he was scoring this music before he ever saw the animation, which i find very impressive.

I'm glad you solved it. If that had not been an option (the path being a spline of a model, for example) one could use the Aim Roll Handle constraint to make the bones maintain their orientation even if they reversed direction on the spline.

An orchestra performed a medley of music from Tom and Jerry cartoons at Royal Albert Hall... kYrUWfLlYI0

If you did the ornaments as Hair it would be easy to fill the space out and adjust the amount.

After you have hit that "Show more than drivers", in the properties for the image sequence there is a "frame" parameter that you can set to any number to key a particular frame of the sequence to show at that moment.

It might be fun to have that emitting sparkles or snow as it grows. Or maybe it's going to grow pine needles? I think the slight undulation is because the bias magnitude onthe lengthwise splines is not idea; for teh curvature the splines are trying to make. It's probably at default 100? You might try setting them a hair higher until the loops appear round from a top view.

I don't have one but I recall that GPUs that share RAM with the CPU have been typically been lame performers.

I like that! There may be ways to eliminate the jitter. Can you post a wireframe of that same animation?

Hey, R+G+B really does make white!

The round surfaces still look very faceted on those samples. Have any of you been able to try the high-subdivision export in the newest A:M yet?

Yup, I think that's what he was really asking. Thanks for stepping in!

Hi doug, First you have to have your model in choreography or action. You can't animate in the model window. To see the bones turn on Skeleton mode After that you can select a bone and use the tra(N)slate or ®otate manipulators to move them. Advance the time counter in the timeline before you make each new bone position

No, I haven't modeled anything yet. I've been looking at old instruments on ebay and many times there are interesting ones that are missing some mechanical part that is either unobtainable or impractically expensive and I got to thinking that maybe 3D printing would be a way to remedy that. It sounds like the vertical res is better than the horizontal res?

wonderful detail, as always. Rodger!

Do the commonly available, ~$500 printers have the resolution to make threaded mechanical parts like nuts and bolts? Suppose I had something like a trumpet and the threaded cap on a valve was missing, could a printer successfully reproduce detail that small? Here's an example of such a part off my tuba...

Well, I wasn't aware of the difference of satire vs. parody. That's an interesting distinction. I'd agree that Mark is doing parody which means Nancy just isn't into it. I'd have to say that my general world-view of female taste was informed by my older sister's ridicule of the boys at her college who would rush out of class at the end of the day to watch Star Trek. She couldn't imagine why anyone would want to watch such a thing. That was about 1970 and I'll admit I haven't made much of an effort to expand my knowledge of female tastes since then. But back to work on your Zombies, Mark! I still need to know what sort of picture to send you for my zombie.

Of course, we hope you will upgrade to have the fun of the current version!

10.5 was a good version, much improved over what preceded it.

Welcome to the A:M forum, Phaedrus! I'm not a Library icon expert but this... orient the model in the model window to how you'd want the icon to appear, then >Create Icon and then resave model. I think that will do something.

But maybe they are there for the original products and not the satires?

A Star Trek satire is mostly a boy thing. What sort of things do girls like to see satires of? I have no idea.

Have fun at Disneyworld!
