From: "James Hash" james@hash.com Date: 2004-5-17 13:21:17 Hey Jon, I am assuming you only get the splash screen and then flashes off. If you are on a PC go ahead and press the shift key down as you double click the icon. Keeping the shift key pressed until the program loads you then can go to the tools > options menu and choose the Global tab. At the bottom you will see a "real-time driver" pull menu. The default is Open GL. Switch to D3D to see if this runs better for you. You will need at least Direct 3d version 9 from the Microsoft web site for this to work. Grabbing all the latest video card drivers and windows updates help also. On a Mac, usually this problem occurs when you are running a lower version of the Mac os, say 8 or higher. Upgrading would help this. Let me know if you have any other questions/problems. James ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Goldberg" To: Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 1:05 PM Subject: Help!

It was a sudden problem, I can't see anything triggering it. All of a sudden yesterday I went to open A:M and the CD spools up but the program doesn't actually open. It can't be a problem with the CD drive because it would have then asked for the CD.

TO answer a few questions, I'll post a couple of wireframes as soon as I get a moment, I'm leaning towards texturing her body using decals rather than feathers, as when I add feathers she ends up looking a bit like a gorilla with a beak. If I can figure out a way of placing feathers so that it looks good I will though.... Re: her beak, I'll try and make the beak/face separation a little more definate. I really appreciate peoples positive comments. I'll post more detail as it gets done.
