    Happy New Year ... See ya later 2020!

    in Showcase

    Posted

    Hello everyone ... Thought I would share something from my Facebook with you guys (Robert suggested that I should also post it here). Just a little backstory, the guy in his underwear was originally created for my website about 20 years ago and he has been with me ever since. He doesn't have a name other than I know him as "Wedgeeguy" (if he turned around then you would know why I call him that). Anywho, just thought I would share my latest creation with all of you. Hope that you enjoy and I hope that 2021 behaves itself. Happy New Year!

    Congratulations to everyone who entered the contest! As Oprah would say as she pointed to each one of us ... "You win a car!" ... "And you win a car!" .. "And you win a car!" :D
    Thank you Robert for all the hard work in creating the video as well. Nicely done! Although, I have my suspicions that you may not have been wearing pants during the whole thing ... ;)

    Thanks everyone!

    Solved: Need Technical Assistance running A:M CDROM versions

    in Open Forum

    Posted

    Hmmm? A little bit further investigation may be the verification that the CD is in the drive (at least in my case) may not be working. Normally, if A:M is already installed and you insert the disk, a blue window pops up with the message "Installing Wise Installation Wizard" and then quickly goes away. Then you can click on the A:M icon to load the program but for me it seems to be ignoring the disk in the CD. Again it works if I boot into XP but not when booting into 7 ... same computer - same CD drive? I will keep checking things and report back to here if I stumble upon anything ...

    Solved: Need Technical Assistance running A:M CDROM versions

    Yep, I have the same problem with ver. 13 on Windows 7 Professional. Mine just states that I need to run it as Administrator (which I am). None of the tricks listed so far seemed to correct it. It was installed and working perfectly fine before. Not sure when the update occurred that messed everything up. Might have been when they started sneaking in the nag stuff about upgrading to Windows 10. Luckily I have a dual boot with Windows XP and can fall back to that. Way to go Microsoft! Sorry that I don't bring any other good news to the table ...

    Direct X Export Problem

    in Open Forum

    Hi Rodney ... If I remember correctly you need to export a model first as a Direct X file. Then when you export the action file, it is asking which X model file you wish to "open" to add the exported action file to. Hope this helps ... Bruce

    Format conversion

    in Animation:Master

    Posted

    Hi Nemyax ... Animation Master's(A:M) files (model, action, choreography) are readable text files. Meaning you can load them into a text editor and be able to see how it deals with each. It would just be a matter of parsing this text file to create your own format. Depending on your game engine choice though, you would need to to be able to convert things into a format that the game engine recognizes. Personally, I export my game data to an .X file and then can convert that .X format into whatever I need using another piece of software. Mainly I work in Ogre so I need to convert from A:M files to .X to .XML to .MESH. I'm not sure if the plug-in to convert A:M's files to .X is already included with the recent version of A:M or if you have to manually install this plug-in yourself. If you have any more questions then please feel free to ask ... Bruce

    Game modeled with Animation Master

    in Showcase

    Posted

    Hello ...

    Thought I would dust the cobwebs off this section of the forum and announce a new game. All of the game models were created in Animation Master and programmed using Pure Basic. It's a 3d style billiard game that is "5-games-in-one". Included are "Speed Demon" ... "Pock-it Golf" ... "Stripes & Solids" ... "Stonehenge" and "Pock-it Protector". You can view a video of the game in action from my website. I am offering a free demo version of the game that you can download a try out. The game is for Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8. You will need DirectX 9.0c installed on your system in order for the game to run (even if you have DirectX 10 or 11) unfortunately ... Of course you can find out more information from my website here:

    Select the "games" link to learn more about it. Any feedback on the game will be appreciated. I have tested in on XP, Vista, and 7 Professional ... but it should also work on 8.

     

    Thanks for taking a look ...

    Using Animation:Master to create game assets ...

    I'm surprised the game engine hasn't been updated to accommodate the more recent Direct X.

     

    Hi Robert ... I use a program called PureBasic to create the game. You can specify OGRE(OpenGL) as the rendering engine but it still has some dependencies on DirectX as well. They have been improving the 3d gaming side of things so perhaps it's just a matter of time before it catches up. It really is a great language to use and you can create programs that run on Windows,OS, and Linux all in one package. I guess things still get a bit messy when trying to get 3d to work on all of those platforms as well.
