This one doesn't work anymore? http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?s=&am...st&p=348037 Load it, try it, it worked before. Then change ONE thing only and try it again. Do not change a bunch of things at once.

Good progress. I'd suggest putting an edge on the fender so it's not just a infinitely thin surface.

You'll be disappointed in how little I cover in so long a time, but here are some comments: GerryComments250.mov Remember, as I say in the screencam, the screencam doesn't really capture the motion well so you need to watch it in this PRJ to really see it: FalloverExamplesF.prj

I'm doubtful about that because windows 95 and 98 were 32-bit. But upgrade anyway.

How to get Service Pack 3 for XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389 I would think it's still available in some form somewhere since XP is still a supported operating system.

I have a 2000 CD that has an "Intel" installer on it and that seemed to run and install fine on both my Win 7 and XP partitions. That's version 8. Somewhere around here I have a 1999 CD but couldn't find it. That would be version 7 I guess. A:M interface has changed quite a bit since those days and A:M is dramatically better. If you can't get the installer running I'd say make the jump and buy a subscription to the new version.

Can you tell us more about the images?

You may need to describe your problem more. We all think it's something different!

Service pack 3? That's something from Hash?

I voted again. Everyone on this forum ought to be checking in and voting for Gene's vid.

What sort of rig are you using?

A Google of "poster printing" offers some economical candidates for one-off printing in large sizes.

Print quality file for the fabulous BUS STOP movie poster can now be found here: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=39751 The perfect addition to your bedroom, office, den, cavern, hideaway or lair!

Now you're a big deal... your name is on a movie poster! Here's a JPG image that you can print out for your bedroom or office wall. It's 5550x7050 pixels so you should be able to use that for anything from an 8x11 inch sheet all the way up to 2x3 feet without serious jaggies. If I've misspelled anyone's name, let me know and I'll fix it.

Do you know it really needs more for that project? Isn't that graph the RAM usage for the whole computer, OS and A:M and everything else?

64 bit A:M shouldn't need any tricks, it should acquire and use RAM as it needs it and as it is available. That's my understanding of it.

It's an interesting test to see, but I don't think this will be a successful approach for what you are trying to do. It's very hard to get weight in the figures by rotoscoping movement from live action.

Why not just go back to the version before and try again? When i'm doing something new I just change one thing at a time and test it. If it doesn't work i know what did it.

Something I often do in situations like that is to render a few representative frames with the parameter set one way and then the other and see what the difference is.

Steve could you re-post those in Quicktime? The MP4s barely play in Quicktime and Quicktime is the only player that can scrub footage frame-by-frame and that's what i need to talk about things in it. I tried recompressing them in Quicktime but that didn't work either. I don't know why that didn't work.

For the front of a character animation reel I'd just do the name and contact info with black letters on a white screen, or possibly use a piece of your artwork to one side of them.

color of what? the particles?

1) are you open to polishing anything? 2) I recall some of your other Christmas stuff that had some anthropomorphized objects that might be candidates for this reel.

I voted! Very impressive, guys. Those guys with the mascara look tough but I think you can beat them!

That's working well!
