    • Does the error always happen when you render on the PC?
    • The appearance of these is quite different. What else did you change?

    • Try rendering to AVI "Uncompressed" on the PC. Then compress in some other app.
    • I rarely render to a video format. I usually render to an image sequence and then join the sound in some editing app.

     

  1. After some more testing, my Zoom-ing is also usually affected with temporary bad views although not exactly as yours is.

     My current work around is to hold down the space bar (Refresh) before RMB.

    This does seem to work. Everything is solid and stable if I do this first. I don't need to hold it down, one press is enough.

  2. I presume that is indeed some video card malperformance. Can you revert to a previous driver?

    My video is just the "integrated" video of the CPU and it generally works well but I have a situation where if I make a bounding box selection, no CPS will appear selected until i hit SPACE to refresh. Also, sometimes the view will get temporarily shifted from where it was, or a previous viewpoint will reappear, then resolve to what I should be seeing.

    I get the sense that these video cards don't throw out old images until they have to make room for new ones, so sometimes an old screen is mistakenly referenced and displayed.

    Is there not someone associated with the store that can look up and verify my purchase on March 7 and send me an activation code?

    That's Jason. Has he answered your PM yet?

    Update: I am informed that Jason has resolved this problem. Thanks, Jason!

  4. I'm always baffled by this question. Every time I've bought a sub the email with the key shows up immediately.

    Last time someone said they hadn't gotten a key I went to the store and bought a new sub just to see if the store was working and... the key arrived immediately.

    I'm baffled!

     

    However...After I log into the store there is a list on the right like this...

    Does that not even appear?

    It leads to a page that has "Serial Keys" at the bottom (you have to scroll down)

    ... will I be able to exchange files between the two computers and versions, or do I need to purchase v.19.0k for the Windows machine in order to exchange files with no compatibility issues?

    There should be no problem going from k to p. There should be no differences between Mac and PC files. The are all text files.

     

    The only rare problem in going from p to k is some feature like this that was added between k and p...

    Particlesystem Streak and Blobbie there is a new Boolproperty "Color change over lifetime" , this controls how the color is changed as default the color is changed over the lifetime from each particle, if it set to "Off" the color change is done for all particles equal

    If you used that property in p and took the file to k it might have an unpredictable result. But that's the only instance of such a case I can find after scanning the update logs.

    It's unlikely you have used it.

    If you have already bought and installed v19.0p on your Windows machine you can also install and run v19.0k for no extra charge. You could have both installed at the same time if you really needed it. But I doubt you will need to.

    I guess anyone that can convince someone to give them a few hundred million to make a movie about 8 foot tall blue rabbit people has to know what's up. 

    He is rare among high-profile directors to have never had a box-office flop. Spielberg, Scorcese, Tarrantino have all had expensive disappointments but not Cameron. Even "Piranha II" seems to have done well enough to encourage a "Piranha 3D".

    I bet he never has to buy lunch, for all the studio VIPs and agents inviting him out, eager to do some project with him.

    Well.., I think I decal the model from start again. 
    Opening the projectfile goes rather well, but the individual model file breaks up in scattered imagefiles. Tends to be a tedious case that way.

    If the problem is only having to refind the image files, resave the model after loading and finding. Then the correct file paths will be in the model.

  8. This Variety article, from January, says $1.4 billion was the break even point.

    When Cameron said in November that “The Way of Water” would need to become “the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history” just to “break even,” it appeared he was referring to the $2 billion mark. The director clarified his comment to Chris Wallace, saying, “I never actually gave it a number. I said it would has to be among the highest-grossing films in history and somebody else applied that number and it got picked up. The number is actually less.”

    Sources have told Variety that “Avatar: The Way of Water’s” break-even point was set at roughly $1.4 billion, a figure the movie has already crossed.

     

    But I'm thinking even that much must include the already-spent cost of shooting Avatar 3, which would have been money lost by someone if Avatar 2 had not done well enough to merit finishing #3.

    I guess he knows what he's doing.

  9. I remember last time I tried the "cloud" version of After Effects it had a feature to re-time footage. It could create smooth 30fps from 24fps or interpolate more frames for super-slo-mo.

    It seemed to work well... even before AI. I think it was using the "motion prediction" that is part of MPEG compression.

    Hadn't thought of using it for animation, however.

    I recall, back when home HDTV was being introduced, watching "Incredibles" on a big screen at an electronics store.

    I was baffled by how bad it looked, it was all floaty and mushy. It didn't look that bad in the theater! Or did it? :dontknow:

    Later, I surmised that these sets had a "sports" setting that would somehow bump the frame rate to 60fps. That must have been the problem.

    Here is a basic intro to making a dynamic Spring System

    If you'd like to model a coiled spring as shown in the GIF at the top, I have a tut on that also...

    Could you make a spring (facing up) and stationary on the ground and then drop an object on it ,... and the object would be propelled upwards?

    Give it a try and let us know what you come up with!
