Welcome back, strangers!

This is as far as I got on my Pteranodon. Maybe there'll be another Prehistoric! contest?

The Tell-Tale Heart!

That looks like they've been rehearsing!

Hi John First, we can know what Windows you have by checking your "System" Control panel. in Windows 7 it looks like this... If you have 64-bit windows, your C : drive will have two folders for programs... "Program Files" for 64-bit programs and "Program Files (x86)" for 32-bit programs. You can have both 32-bit and 64-bit A:M installed since they live in separate folders. If you have previously run the 64-bit installer there will be a "Hash Inc" folder inside your "Program Files" and a folder inside that for "V19.0" Get your license key in hand, delete the master0.lic file inside that folder, then run Master_64.exe in that folder to run A:M and enter the key anew. Try that, John!

Yeah... but what about the dinosaur? I hear Scrooge is letting you use an extra lump of coal in the furnace tomorrow!

Thanks, Steve! You're very welcome!

Thanks, Roger!

That's charming, John! Santa better hurry, dawn is dawning!

thanks, Tom! Thanks, Dan! That's a better story than I had for it!

I will look forward to it! Have a fine Holiday!

If you want to send me one of the characters in a PM I'll look at it. Or, you can bring it to Live Answer Time!

Foot targets are usually made to work by a Pose (containing constraints) that needs to be on. If it is not on in the model it needs to be turned on everytime you use the model in an action or chor. Some very old models have an action that needs to be dropped on a character to make constraints work.

Happy Holidays to all of you!

That looks beautiful, Gerald! Another fine job! Merry Christmas to you!

Can you use the Windows "Snipping tool" to capture a shot of the message?

Beautiful card! Merry Christmas, Marc!

A Santa hat would be in season!

I've never really tried consolidate! What i do is remove all images and assets that are not relevant, then Embed All, then save a new PRJ and include the PRJ and the remaining relevant images into a ZIP. Consolidate sounds easier but i've never tried it.

I'll give pre-roll another look after the contest, Matt! In my own PRJ it was way faster to build the hair settling time into the regular chor time instead of using pre-roll. BTW, I'm still accepting entries! Until Dec. 20! If any already-entered entrants have refinements they want to swap in, I'll take them! If any potential entries are still in the pipeline, I'd love to get them in the contest! Don't miss out!

Hi, Tom! You are very close. I am presuming that you have Tools>Options>Units>Show Time as set to SMPTE I am presuming your 15 frame sequence is numbered 00-14... I am presuming you have Tools>Options>Global Show advanced Properties and Show Property Triangle checked I am presuming you know how to see the timeline pane of the PWS. Apply the image sequence like a normal decal After you put the model in a chor, next to "Shortcut to" for that model, turn "show more than drivers" ON This will expose the Decals folder in the PWS in the Chor Expand the property triangles until you get the Frame parameter Select the Frame property set the timeline view to Curve view on frame 00:00 set a 00:00:00 in the Frame parameter on frame 00:00:14 set a 00:00:14 in the Frame parameter select the two keyframes watch this video (fourth post) on how to set Post-extrapolation to make it repeat and do that: Here is another way..

that is very odd.

Needs a hat!
