Hash got back to me today i got a new license file. But yes it was a Master.lic file. This is finally activated and ready to go. I'm all set.

No, all on Mac. My profile still says windows? I have contacted hash, seems busy, so I felt like I needed to ask the forum. I must be missing something. Originally I installed this on my pc, but then emailed has to remove the license because the mac was better. Then he sent me a master.license file. Placed it in the AM folder as directed and got that error. And my current license key has already been used so I'm not entirely clear as to what happened or what's going on. I really would like to start using my program, it's been about a week already....

Hello everyone, i need help with AM V18 Licensing. I got a Master.lic file from Hash, added it to my AM folder as directed and got this Message Wrong Host for License (-4) Thoughts??

yeah. its a pretty old version... I just got an email from Hash. Im going for a special pricing upgrade.

Hello Everyone, I have a question about how A:M can be like Auto CAD. (if there is a section about this then please let me know or direct me) (sorry) Years ago I used Auto CAD / Inventor and it was the easiest program to use to make any object. I liked how that in the program I can make a basic object and edit it in a breeze by clicking on parts and setting a measurement and it would auto correct and align itself. An example would be a simple Lego piece. I can make a block and add 1 cylinder at a corner. Then I can simply click on the block and type in the measurements to make a rectangle, and then click on the cylinder and input how many to copy/ paste and set the distance between them. PRESTO! A lego block in less the 30 seconds. Now...... Can A:M do this?? If so. How? And Tutorials? I apologize if this is a real dumb question but like I asked in my 3D Printing Thread, It's been since Verion 11.1 I have used A:M and I have no idea what it can do now.

Hmm... You know what. I think Ill probably settle with the newest Version and do the yearly subscription... I dont really want to spend $300 for the program. plus i didnt even get an email back from Hash yet if I can get a discount. lol

Yeah... its not bad... but I rather have the product rather then pay a continuous yearly price.

zandoriastudios, nice work, Yeah I have seen this everywhere. I like your work. Ill have to look more into Cult 3D. I didnt know there was a website for 3D printables. learn something new everyday. robcat2075, that Cant be done link will be useful soon. Fuchur, That A:M print link doesn't work for some reason. Guess what guys! - I found my A:M CD. I'm working with V11.1. yeah. on Windows 7 on a pretty fast Desktop. I need the latest but i dont want to spend $300 on the new Program. V11.1 works ok. kinda glitchy for some reason....its too old. how does V18 look like?

Thanks Robcat!, Im happy that I'm Back. I need to get back to this fun stuff. I like A:M because its very easy. 3D Studio Max is more advanced but thats another chapter.. Fuchur, You blog is pretty neat! Thank You!

PERFECT!!! Thank you very much Fuchur! I have some ideas for a 3D printing and I need to get back into Animation and Modeling. Ill need to look into Net Fab, never herd of it. Maybe when I decide whats going on with my hobby, we can help each other out. Because I dont know a thing about 3D printing. (although i do work with IT at my job that has people using 3D printers everyday). Do you know any websites I can check out for 3D printing for Noobs?

Hello everyone, its been YEARS since I've been on this forum and used A:M. Quick Question(s)... When I make a model, What kind of file can I export it as? How many types of model files can I export? This 3D printer takes STL files. Can I export A:M Model Files as STL too? Thank You everyone! I hope to be using my A:M program soon!!

Yes this Helped a LOT. Thanks Rodney and Walter! I will try this soon. Ill reply to this when It works. thank you thank you

hello all you talented animators!!!, You probably herd this 1000 times but can I use a video as a rotoscope? like Live reference and animate it by frame by frame? if so.....HOW? because i think itll be easer to record myself and others and overlap it and animate it.... Can one do this?? THANKS a BUNCH

Here is the demo link but its the new one. Ill have to upload the video somehow to show you. maybe ill use youtube or something.

I guess nobody knows the songs?

Hello everyone, Does anybody know the music playing in the original Animation Master Demo video when the guy is creating the vase? Please help

This is what i exactly expedcted form someone. The "Feelings" or opinions of the renderings. Thank you for this because now i can do some tests with some of the this i never used or her of. Im sure other people are asking for the same thing.

Actually, is anyone willing to make a complete list or a little list of what the results will be in diffrent renderings and compressions? Like for example (not to scale): A 320x240 video, .mov, compression, of 30%, file at 20MB,blurry video. A 320x240 video, .avi, compression of 30%, file at 10mb, clear video. Is anyone up for the task to tell all of us the results? I'm sure the most viewing size is 320x240 I believe.

Yea the A:M Paint is the way to go for detailed decaling. Also use Photoshop to deal with your decales.

OOO I got this! If you have any library troubles, follow this tutorial...click the link below Library Tutorial Hope this helps on relinking your library needs. This also works for the EXTRAS CD but will work better if you copy the whole thing on your hard drive. Make sure you put it in a new file and put it in a good place. Maybe putting it in you Hash folder? or Documents? Whatever is good for you. Good luck

Thank you thank you thank you. And WOW! Theres so much to discover about lighting. The links are a big help and thats what I was aiming at to get as much information about this. Now I just have to read everything to start some basic tests. It'll take a while but I'll be comming back asking more questions as always. Thanks Caroline, Xtaz (nice pictures), and Rodney! You've been a big help

Hello everyone! Lately I was looking around the hash pictures to see how astounding these modelers can make such 3D images look so real. (See pictures below for examples) I know how the lighting works as to making a room illuminated but how do the artists make things look soft and realistic? I really am not sure how to do it but do the artists use a certian surface texture to catch the light or do they simply soften the light up to make it bounce? Anybody know the answer or can show me some tutorials around that can help me on this topic? This is so cool

A HA! Exactly my point. Try finding a sliver peeking out of the edges. Just look closly. Also, Im sure there is no need to do all that work to recover a menu bar. Rebooting the whole computer, restoreing it, cleaning the registry, uninstalling and reinstalling it, I mean come on. By any means, contact Hash and see if you can get a new CD or program download. Again, take a gooood look around in the inerface to see any sliver and/or press buttons and see if you can recover the toolbar. Go crazy...

Interesting... This must be looked at closely in the future. I didnt know you could use the print screen button to have a screen capture. I use a quick program called Howies screen capture tool.

There has to be some way to retrive you menue toolbar with out reinstalling it. Keep looking around in the tool section or try to find the lost tool bar on the inside of the inerface in the program. Porbably theres a sliver hanging out that you just cant see it. I had something similar to that when it happened.
