I am very sorry to hear that. I noticed Paul had not been around for a while and was worried. Paul was a great asset to the A:M user community for a long time and his contributions will be missed very much. But I'm sure this is even sadder a time for Paul's family. Thank you for letting us have a bit of his time and best wishes to all of you.

Teeth added... If you like stereoscopic 3D and have red-blue glasses or can cross your eyes, you can also see . The 3D button at the bottom of the Youtube player lets you choose your preferred 3D viewing format.

Idea for the house.... can you mess up the shingles a bit so they are not all so perfect?

great curves!

I believe you need to have a bone ( a root bone?) selected for it to appear in the menu. it is included in v16

I know nothing of installing Squetch, however.... if you have a situation you can repeat that crashes A:M, (and does it in v17) that would be a good thing to bundle up and submit to AMReports www.hash.com/reports You'll need to get an account name and password from Jason but he'll set you up. Crashes get fixed quickly. Back to Squetch.... of course you saved your work in versions as you went along so it would be easy to step back and find where the departure between written process and your result first started.

I'm sure it would look better. I looked in that Blender thread but I only saw a couple of images. There are great painted dinosaurs all over the web, but i need to learn to paint like that. Like... where's the right place to put wrinkles and where to put small scales where to put large ones and what are plausible color patterns...

Thanks, everyone! You know what bugs me? Why wasn't I doing this 12 years ago? I had A:M, it pretty much had everything you need to do this already... but I barely scratched it. Why didn't I see the possibilities and pursue this newfangled 3D thing better?

These are just temporary colors from a combiner material: If you have Firefox or Chrome you can see a turnable WebGL version: http://p3d.in/7uj2I/

Those hair feathers are working well!

Now with itsy-bitsy, teensy-weensy, armsy-warmsies and drooling tongue action...

great looking vehicles!

(We now return to being happy with A:M)

Yup, I gotta learn how to paint dinosaur skin

Experimenting with larger nostrils

We've got a lot of Mac users around and I've never seen anyone get HXT files installed as "folders" before. Something is dramatically unique in this situation. What version do you get when you install? Look at Help>About Animation:Master

If you do uninstall and reinstall... save your master0.lic file somewhere safe before you do! Then you just need to copy it back to get going again.

that is strange looking. The flickering hair makes it look like one of those time-lapse plant shots.

I threw some neck and tail bones in to test him a bit.

Getting that "plucked chicken" look...

And now a shapely leg...

Looks beautiful!

Starting the body...

thanks! This is pursuing my theory of "Contour Modeling" where I try to put splines only on the peaks and valleys of the shape and let the A:M patches fill the inbetween.
