  1. Now Im mad that I didnt get a chance to be there. I read the text and so much Martin said I agree with. I think his approach is fantastic and why I use AM! :D I really like how they plan to develop AM for 2005 and 2006. Great things for AM in the future! But the only thing that I didnt get or understand is when Martin said that Max and LW are walking corpses! :lol: That was funny stuff. But why are they? Really are they? I guess it will be Maya and AM!!!

    Thanks again Martin!!! :)

  2. Wow thanks Aprod! Thats alot of info. I think Im going to get Pro for vector paint. I think having AM and AE is a great combo. Because with AE you can do fx and render faster since its 2d and not 3d. Can you think of some books and links to start me off? What plug ins cant I do without? Like which Trapcodes plugins are the best ones? I just see me create a cool animation and then use AE to add some zing for color and some effects because its so much faster to render in 2d instead of 3d.

    Thanks. :)

  3. Thanks for the posts! But what kind of fx does AE give you? I saw that there are a lot of plug ins for AE but out of the box what can a user use AE for? Can it do fire and explosions? Im trying to get how AE is used for fx shots and not just compositing.

    Thanks.

  4. Ive been reading some magazines that talk about fx shots on tv and film. But Im thinking alot of that fx work is with After effects to. So how much of fx work can be done with AE and not always using a 3d app by itself. How much fx work is done with AE and 3d apps. How about AM-ers? How many use AE for fx shots? Or is the shots done in AM and redone in AE? Im saving to buy AE and I hope its not a bad buy. :)

    And whats the major difference between pro and standard?

    Thanks all.

  5. I dont think AM looks amatuerish. But what colors would you like so AM would look more pro for you? Like colors for Max or LW and C4d Maya? You said that you can change the colors of AM but how do you do it? But I know the display properties but that doesnt change the look of AMs interface. Of course I might be missing something. :unsure:

  6. People who think AM can't do real work should look at this! Great work again. Cant wait until you add hair and animate him. Its going to look beautiful. :)

  7. Wow. Thanks for the replys. Im going to check them all out. But John since you have been in business how do you control the whole profit/loss aprt? Like what determines what projects you'll take on and how you might consider charging them? I dont want to know your trade secrets! :D But maybe an idea. And how do you network? Do you go to alot of shows? Do you go door to door? Thanks-

    This list so amazing with people always willing to help. :)

  8. My friend and I were talking about how somene would start a studio to do animations and other 3d work-even web stuff. She asked what tools are going to be needed and start up money? So how did studios like Anzovin and Avalanche get started and what do they use for all their work. I said AM-Pshop\Painter-After Effects-Premiere\Final Cut. But what about sound and budgeting and project tracking. I bet there are other AM'ers who might find this interesting! ;)

    Thanks-

  9. I got it to work--thanks for all your help! :) Ok I know that each line represents a color but all I really saw was a cool color on the chor on model window. But what colors do the scheme file affect? Lets say I want to make the project window green--how do do that? Or does the scheme only change the color for chor's and model wondow? I guess I can really make whatever color changes to that file that I want just save it as a sch ext.

    Thanks--

  10. John-I went to your website and I checked out Skycast. Wow what a great app! But I have a couple of questions. You said that you can use a image map as the base-whats a good size to work with? And after you create the action file how do you use it with AM inside the chor? Or a different action? Are you planning a update for v11 and v11.5 at the end of the year?

  11. Wow! They are so cool! I love them! :D They are simple but have so much character. So much fun. Your work is very inspiring. But you did use Skycast that you wrote. Now I have to buy it to! ;) Are there any tutorials explaning how to use it and do you update it when ever a new ver of AM comes out?

    Thanks-

    Great work!!

  12. Is there anyway that a model can cast a shadow on a scene but not render? Like if you have a tree shadow on a wall but you can tell AM not to render the tree?

    Thanks-
