That tut presents a work flow to arrive at efficient settings and makes the unwanted results less mysterious to solve.

Have you tried Yves' tutorials on making settings for radiosity?

Mike Judge, creator of "Beavis and Butthead" and "King of the Hill" is interviewed in the NY Times.
KOTH was the truest picture of life in suburban Texas I have ever seen.
Judge, the creator and voice of the malevolent metalheads, explains why he’s reviving his emblematic 1990s cartoon series in 2022.

Multipass even at 16 passes, which I think was the minimum suggested in the thread, greatly increased render times.
Yeah, but the computer can work while you sleep.

If you want a characteristic florescent tube light effect you can path constrain a light on a spline and use multipass.

And is it a crash or a freeze?

Will opening files over network be fixed? In particular files that reside in a long file path. Causes crash here when I access them to my network drive.
@pixelplucker Has an AM report been made of that?
https://reports.hash.com/login_page.php
I don't have much of a network to test such a thing but I recall being able to open PRJs over my LAN at some time in the past.
To write that up I think you'd need a test case and a very clear depiction of the network... what's getting loaded and from where.

WaPo article about the French sculptor Auguste "The Thinker" Rodin and how his reputation has varied in this country.
Rodin never visited America, but he still seduced its art lovers
QuoteDuring his lifetime (1840-1917) many of his works were considered too in-your-face, too sexed-up to speak about in polite American company. That early prudishness proved surprisingly resilient in the 20th century. When a leading Boston collector gave the MFA Boston a bronze of Rodin’s “Iris, Messenger of the Gods” — a headless, one-armed female figure with her legs spread — the work was deemed unexhibitable, consigned to storage and later deaccessioned...

Version Trouble
I just discovered that v19.0 and the v19.5 betas I've been testing were importing BVH files incorrectly!
If you have watched the "Constraining" video above you see the mocap bones coming in looking like this...
It's a mess but I presumed it was a problem with the BVH file and worked around it and still got my mo-cap done.
However, today I found out that that is a broken result. If you use v18.0p you will get a correct import that looks like this...
Much better! I suggest you use v18 for the BVH import step until the fixed version of v19.5 arrives in a few weeks.
You can get the v18.0p installer from the Hash ftp site. You will need an ftp program like FileZilla to go to...
ftp . hash . com/pub/updates
After you install v18, copy your master0.lic file from your v19 folder to your v18 folder to enable it.
If you're not sure about any part of this... ask me!

Ouch! Best wishes for her full recovery!

DeepMotion had trouble interpreting this high-angle shot but I think I can use some of it. Maybe if I had chalked some grid lines on the sidewalk it might have done better?

Is there a minimum rig we should be using? None of my stuff uses any of the pre built rigs like TSM2 etc and the last time I messed about with .BVH (Using the kinect to make them) they required a more advanced rig than I had built/installed.
My rigs usually look like the one below. They don't have any special constraints beyond weighting.
@WildsidedIs that all FK... you rotate each bone into position individually? Then it is exactly what you want!
If that has some IK constraints on it, turning those off would probably do it.
If you have more doubts, ask.
If you want to bring that to Live Answer Time we could look at it there also.

DeepMotion gives you three free mo-cap conversion per month so there's no reason to not shoot some experimental test now instead of letting them go to waste, even if you don't use it in your final project.
Don't wait til the last minute... Summer ends in September!

@AmXPWith the current license you buy at the Hash store you can run any version from v15 through v19.
You can get the installers for those old versions at ftp . hash . com /pub/updates/windows
I seem to recall I was still on Windows 2000 during v15 and v16 so i presume Windows XP, which came later, would run those also.
I think the scenario would be to buy the $79.99 license, run the v15 installer on the XP machine you intend to use and enter license key that was sent to you in email when prompted for it.
The generated master0.lic file in your v15 folder can be copied to any other later version to enable it.
If you still have your CD from v12 or v13 that should still work in Windows XP and you could get the last update for that CD version at the ftp site also.

...one big problem for me is I do not have a clue about 3D printing.do I save as file and send it out to someone.is it that simple to get done
Most of the commercial 3D printing services like Shapeways have an option to upload a file and they'll tell you if it is printable and for what price.
Typical they will take an OBJ or STL, both of which A:M can export.
If the model can't be printed and needs some alteration then you'll need someone who knows more about this to advise you.

Very nice and smooth.
How did you do that?
Thank you.
It's a lot of path constraints. I'm working on a better way to control lips. There's still more to figure out.

Here's something I almost never see in these old Mickeys... breaking out of the frame.
A word balloon does it in the second frame and Mickey's hand in the fourth frame overlaps the previous frame.
I'm not enough of a student of late 20s newspaper strips to know if this was novel or not, but I haven't caught them doing it since this strip.

After you are sure you've quite Net Render go to your Task Manager and End Task all these things...

I have seen that message. It has something to do with NetRender having been run more than once in a session.
I fix it with a complete power off to the computer. Pull the plug even.

It turns out that Disney's standard animation tough guy Peg Leg Pete (seen above) may have a real-life inspiration.
RoadsideAmerica dot com has a story about a monument to "Liar Peg Leg Smith", a personality in early California history...
