That does sound odd. -Have you tried Help>Reset All Settings - Does any other program have this navigation trouble? - Is this a laptop? Does it have any built-in pointing device like a track pad or pen capability? -Try a different mouse. I had a problem with unintentional scroll wheel events happening when my mouse was failing.

I guess we'll just have to wait until both of you are not at your real job on the same day. 😀

If you haven't seen it elsewhere, this is the famous 1935 memo from Walt Disney to the studio drawing instructor, Don Graham. In this he lets loose on many ideas he has to better the quality of work. Even though he's no longer drawing anything at this point, he is ahead of most of his staff on form and force and motion and acting. Drawing shouldn't just be about representing something accurately, it should make it into something more.

Hi John, in the Hair System, maybe try Dynamic setting like these?

The big divide is v13. You can take models and files from v12 and earlier forward to v13 and later but you can't take models and files from v13 and later backward to v12 and earlier. This will be zero problem for your plan to open your old files in modern A:M but in the event of some insanely unlikely reason you wanted to go from modern A:M to v12... that can't be done. That is why I say to not write over your old v12 files... just in case you ever need to use them in v12. Re save them with new file names from v19. Not that you can still run v12 today even if you wanted to, but that's another story.

I'm not aware of any way to prevent that. My suggestion is to send Jason your host id per the directions here... https://www.hash.com/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=15&id=17&artlang=en and then put your old HD back in your computer and continue working as before until Jason is able to get you an updated license.

Hi Will, They should work fine. I have many v11.1 files from long ago that I have opened recently and they work properly. Don't re-save over your old v12 files. This could inadvertently happen if you open an old PRJ that includes MDLs or other files that are NOT embedded in the PRJ and then you do a save of the PRJ.

I haven't gone to Windows 11 yet so i can't speak on that but i haven't heard of anyone else on Win 11 being dramatically hindered. There will be a slight rendering slowdown in v19.5 overall. Steffen says that a library that was used in v19.0 is no longer supported by the compiler. For 3D Painter contact I've sent you Filip's email. He says he bought lifetime hosting for his website but apparently they meant someone else's lifetime!

Slower in what regard? Rendering? Real-time playback? The interface?

More great-looking stuff, Michael! I especially like that fibre-optic fountain thing. I wish i knew as much about lighting today as you already knew in 1999!

The one-legged jump! A new render of my animation for the fifth assignment at AnimationMentor, 20 years ago this week. The assignment was to do one long jump and at least two short ones. Now with sound effects i made myself! (animated in Animation:Master, of course)

Here is a swift turn-around with a frame-by-frame slo-mo from "Mouse and Garden" (1959). I have watched this endlessly, trying to figure out what was going on.

A concern about a "TV" is if it uses a technology like plasma or OLED that is prone to "burn in". Those are bad to have a program interface sitting on for hours. Conventional LED should be less of a problem.

We talked a bit about Transfer_AW at Live Answer Time today. Steve @Shelton made a lo-res version (left) of his Hans character(right) and rigged him with the TSM2 geometry bones. Transfer_AW interpolates the lo-res CP weights to the hi-res mesh to get smooth deformations of the complex hi-res character. This shows lo-res Hans and hi-res Hans doing the same test action. There are a few places that will need manual CP weight-tweaking but mostly he's ready to go! TransferAWHans.mp4

If you already have v19.0 installed and running on your computer but not any version of 19.5, run the v19.5 installer, then copy the master0.lic file from your v19 folder to your v19.5 folder.

Those manilla things are just content tags. Go to the actual post for the link.

For at least 20 years (since v11?) A:M has been able work across multiple screens. I have typically undocked the Project Workspace window and dragged it on a monitor of its own. A:M remembers window placements and specific layouts can be saved and recalled. There used to be a limitation that any window you undocked to a second monitor could not be expanded beyond the size of the screen A:M "started" on, but that doesn't seem to be the case now. As far as your laptop, i can't speak to how well its graphics chip will be able to drive two screens, but A:M should not be the problem.

Found it! It turns out I accidentally re-declared voter_count within main() by putting int in front of it when i used it in a line of code. That happened because I had an int in this sample code to replace Harvard's get_line string sample_value_string; getline(cin, sample_value_string); int sample_value = stoi(sample_value_string); When I re-used that template, I forgot that sample_value might have previously been declared in a program such as we are doing. Re-declaring it in main() meant that there were two different voter_count variables in the program... the global voter_count and a voter_count that was only known in main().

You are SHIFT-selecting both groups in the PWS and that causes a crash? Yes, i get that in v19.0 but not in v19.5 I have never tried copying a Group in the PWS before! I have always selected one group in the PWS, then clicked on the selection in the view window and done the Copy/paste there In the PWS? I can't get a bounding box in the PWS. I presume you are doing a bounding box in the view window on the actual splines?

I have discerned part of the problem with my "runoff election" program last night A variable voter_count is declared at the top of the program before main(), so it should be available globally, in any scope. Likewise for a variable candidate_count. A function tabulate() is declared without parameters, but it does use those global voter_count and candidate_count variables For some reason voter_count loses its value inside tabulate() but candidate_count does not. Likewise for the global arrays that tabulate() operates on. They work fine. If I rewrite tabulate() to pass voter_count as a parameter, it works properly, but I shouldn't need to do that. @Rodney @Roger

Hi Tom, That does appear to be a bug in 19.5. An image sequence doesn't work either. I tested previous versions and the problem seems to arrive in an alpha I got 13 Feb 2022, before the first v19.5 was publicly released. The last version to work properly was an alpha i got on 9 Jan 2022. Thank you for finding that. I'll make a bug report.
