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!

If I recall, I believe others have used a background model (eg flat plane, cylinder, dome) to obscure the empty "sky". Perhaps that might help? I tried that but there was still a non-toon area at the top.

You wouldn't even have to back out, just pan. Lets see here... The first part of the mystery form is a series of scenes where everyone has a reason to hate one particular character. That much would be easy to do. Then the character shows up dead. For the rest of the film people explain why they couldn't have been the murderer , but clues also come to light to cast doubt on their alibis. Finally the detective puts it all together and identifies the real killer.

I tried it in v16 and the top still loses its toon lines. I recall this being noted before but I'm not sure if it's been reported. The cutoff line seems to be the top of the tree in the foreground. If I move it higher the toon lines reach higher on the birds. A temporary work around might be to include a thin dummy object near the side of a scene that can be cropped out later.

That PRJ didn't have any of the models included (you have to Project>Embed All) so i couldn't test it, but i suspect that may be a v14 bug. I'm not sure. Does every shot you try to toon render do that?

Something that could be stereoscopic might be considered. All the kids are talking about it.

I dimly recall someone having that before. What version are you using?

probably so that there are two different particle appearances instead of all looking the same. Compare all the parameters of each.

is 2 a child of 1 or a sibling?

Firefox Beta 4 is working well. Irony of ironies... I had to use IE to download Firefox 4 because Firefox 3 couldn't get the download started.

My Firefox just updated to 3.6.16 and it now crashes as soon as I go to this thread.

Somehow that didn't sound Scottish to me. A-ha! It's "Watson" Found it in my old emails. That will go into the final edit for Youtube.

Ideas that require no dialog are particularly encouraged.
