He's bringing us Winter too soon!

Tom Scott, the YouTuber so nice they gave him first names twice, has a lucid discussion of the precision problem of floating point numbers on binary computers. @Rodney @Roger @Shelton

hmmm... sounds like a @Jason Simonds matter. Possibly you've upgraded element of your computer?

That is a scary creature!

Lesson 20 For Loops Do this for your assignment: Make a program that will prompt the use for a number from 0 to 60 and print out a row of that many Xs. If the entered number is 0 the program exits. Sample run: Rows of Xs! How many Xs do you want? 8 XXXXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 13 XXXXXXXXXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 0 We're done! This project uses both "for loop" and your recently acquired "do while" skills. Hint: First write and test a for loop that prints out a row of n Xs. @Roger @Rodney @Shelton

And you're on a Mac? How about "DialogFreeze004 external JPG MAT MDL ACT CHO.prj"

Long time A:M user William Hennes @willaim is so busy with A:M that he never gets around to showing the cool stuff he does with it... so I'm posting it! Oct 15, 2022 Dwarf Head modeled in A:M, 3D printed in resin. For his "dragons of winter" project.

10 episodes! I had no idea you had put that much together. I have no knowledge of Minecraft so I can't begin to imagine what is involved in making all that. But somehow you've made a TV series in a game? I had missed your update on June 5, The A:M part looks promising too.

John, try setting Color Method>Additive Color to OFF

That's weird . The color of the sprite shows up in the reflection but not on the sprite itself. When I try it I get white-only in real time, full color in a progressive render, and white sprites with color reflections in a full render. This may become a bug report.

Happy early Halloween, John!

I thought I'd get a full color Eddie after the effect but it didn't work out... CloudEddieC000.mp4

Glad you're back on track, John!

Thanks, Malo! I meant to delete "Delete.prj". D'oh! Interesting. For me, missing images and materials will still get a dialog opened without a freeze, but missing models, actions and chors will get a freeze.

vaseX.mdl should be a valid model. It was empty?

@Phil What version of Windows are you on and what graphics do you have? thanks!

Thanks, Phil! Are you saying that it opened a dialog to find the mdl but still froze?

Can no one test this?

Hi Vance, I think all browsers have discontinued ftp for some security reason that someone once explained to me but I have forgotten. However, there is still access to the Hash ftp with an ftp client (Filezilla is free) without entering a username or password. Give that a try.

Those letters look great! I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do. A compositing program like After Effects can arrange a large number of clips on the screen at once... but you still have to render that out to a new movie. You want this to be a live effect with no pre-rendering?

This PRJ in this ZIP is contrived to require you to find a missing asset, "vase.mdl" When you open this PRJ in v19.5, do you get a dialog asking you to find it or do you get a freeze? Also tell me what version of A:M you are using. Thanks! TestAssets.zip

It's a bug in v19.5 Go back to v19.0 for this until v19.5b comes out, which should be soon.

The long overdue Prehistoric contest medal is taking shape...

In the PWS, on the Sounds folder (1) to import a WAV (2) In the PWS, drag the WAV into your Choreography (3), it will appear in the timeline pane. You can scrub in the timeline pane to preview the sound(4). It will sound choppy. On my computer, I can't hear the sound until i add a WAV of silence(5) to the Chor in the same manner. You can try it with these two WAVs. WAVs.zip

I'm glad that you're continuing to continue, Jason!
