Your work is probably the best AM has ever seen on average. If that makes sense.
My only thought is the color is too saturated. dull it down a bit. Real life is rarely that saturated but if this was in an HDRI it might be par for the course.
-
It works but now we are back to the render line issues. Any ideas? do you see those?
-
That whole asking for an asset with no name has been happening to me constantly? There is no reason for it. I don't understand. It does not matter what project I am working on.
If you start a blank project, save it and reload it, you still get that?
No but the but on the projects it does ask for. Everything is there in the project its not missing anything even when you cancel what its looking for. Strange right?
I assumed this was a known issue. I ddint flag it because it does not seem to cause any problems with my projects because like I said all the assets are int he project.
-
very strange. tuff to work this way. I have restarted at least 5 projects. every time I get a result I like, when I render I loose settings or get the lines. I've started from scratch making everything from the materials again.

I am having so much trouble and its not just the lines that are the problems.
It appears that after you re open a project all the keys you made no longer work in the chore. I dont get it. For example in the projject I have posted it actually days down after like 14 frames. but when you re open the project it just keeps going for ever ignoring the keys.
-
see attached project.
ignore my specs above.
what i have found out so far.
Not caused by baking
Not caused by net render
Not caused by Forces
Usually starts around frame 18 or later.
can be seen in the render lock mode.
Will someone check if earlier versions of AM dont have this problem. I am on 16a
-
please see the attached project below and see if you can narrow down what is causing the render lines.

Hey Jason, off-topic but I tried that Amazon link in your sig and it's broken, or at least the Amazon page is gone.
thats strange it works for me.
Well any of my Hash friends who purchase my 8 packages of lightdims deal for $19.49 with the green discount will also receive a data DVD of what I am certain is 99% of all video tutorials related to Anything Hash, all organized.

when you make your Colorado Springs/Woodland Park leg, I will be glad to show you around. Colorado even has business develpoment money for people moving businesses into the state. I'm sure there are strings attached though.
When you go to Wyoming, if you are willing to be in the mountains, Jackson Hole is a very cool spot. Far fewer cattlemen and miners.
Hi Bruce
Thanks for that offer. I will take you up on that. So you know the woodland park area? What do you think about it? Where do you live in Colorado? I heard Jackson Hole is extremely cold?
-
Thank you I love this stuff.

What's wrong with Washington and Oregon? Beautiful states.
nothing but the goal is to save money. Wyoming, Florida, Nevada, Alaska. Are that.
I lived in Florida for 4 years. It was beautiful but I would like to try some place new. I actually would prefer the cold over the heat, especial the humidity.

Hi Jason,
Just wondering, why you don`t move to the outskirts of the town, where you do live now.
That would be the first natural thing for me to do over here in Germany, when I want to get a cheaper place.
The more far away from the city , the cheaper, but you still have the enviroment you are accustomed to.
You folks over there are living in such a big country, that in comparision you moving to Wyoming would be like me moving to Russia.
That is an interesting perspective about the Russia comparison. The problem is California the entire state has extremely high taxes. I actually am already living on the outskirts. When I worked in the entertainment industry full time I drove 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to get into Hollywood. Mainly because of traffic not because of distance. Distance was about 35-40 miles away.
Homes don't go down in price as dramatically as moving to another state. I understand now that people flock here because of the good weather almost all year round. You can go surfing at the beach and snowboarding all in the same day with a few hours travel time and the water wouldn't be that cold.
But in practice I dont do either much now that I am a husband, father, and in my 30's
In my 20's I went clubbing 3 nights a week. Snow boarding, surfing, I lived an eventful life style.
I even made it to the gym.
Now its all about the future of my family. I can not find work in my field after the crash. At least not at the rate I used to make. Only jobs I could find were at a 50% pay cut. The amount of money I was making at 21-24 years old. so I had to invent something to maintain the same lifestyle. My business. LightDims.com does not require the entertainment industry so it does not make sense to live hear anymore.
All I need is internet cell phone and Post office.

My wife says Alaska is just too cold. Had didnt know about the meth lab thing. I will make a note to avoid getto areas.
I am going to purchase some airline tickets and travel to Wyoming both Casper and Cheyenne. Colorado both colorado springs and woodland park. and Nevada both Gardnerville/Minden
Thanks for the help ill let you know my thoughts after I have visited these places.

Your not the only one who had doubts. But it paid off.
But it was well worth the risk. I have 2 retailers now Frys and Microcenter and the online sales. Frys alone purchases a lot every 2 to 3 months. Microcenter is still testing the products with small quantities but once their last test is complete they will order large quantities like Frys.
Online sales very somedays when a blogger writes about the product sales jump for a few days. but there are rare occasions where I don't sell any that day. Online sales alone would support me and my family but not allow for any reinvestment into the company.
If I was not continuously reinvesting into the company and inventing new products I would actually be living comfortably.

looking good

Wow robert that is some story.
Luckily the sister of your partner did the right thing.
On the subject of property taxes. Is it just me or does it feel in practice that you truly don't own land or your house? It just does not make sense to me that you have to $5k a year for ever sometimes going up a little sometimes going down. And when you get hurt or old and you can not pay, they push you out of your house and land. Even though you own it. So I guess you truly don't own it.
Death and taxes baby!
By the way a friend of mine swears the world is going to end this october around the 28th but as late as jan 1st.
He believes it so much a he cashed in everything and is at some island with his wife enjoying the last few months of earths existence as we know it. Im not kidding. He calls it the quickening.
Where do you live robert?
Maybe you should rent out a room or two in the house. Might be nice to have some company.

Alaska, Nevada, Wyoming, and Florida are the cheap states.
There's a reason they're the "cheap" states.
Wyoming has some really beautiful areas, but winters can be brutal, like nothing that you would have experienced in Maryland. Probably worse than Detroit. WIND. The beautiful areas (around the Tetons, ski areas, yellowstone, northern) are pricey, upscale, expensive restaurants, food. The ugly areas are truly UGGGGGGGLLLLLEEEEE (southern Wyoming). You better like closed, narrow minded people.
Do you work from home? What kind of job would you expect to find?
Since you've been an LA boy for so long, I'd say you'd might enjoy Nevada better, around the Reno, Carson City area. It would be less of a shock to what you're use to. Close to Lake Tahoe, the Sierras, more variety of activities than Wyoming, plenty open land, desert beauty, and the summers aren't THAT much hotter (but 100 isn't uncommon - dry heat, better than Florida), winters are mild. Can easily escape to the cool of the Sierras in summer, great skiing close by in winter, while the Nevada valleys stay mild.
Housing has also taken a dive in Nevada, so if you can swing it, Gardnerville/Minden is a nice place for families, 45 mins to Reno, 30 mins to South Lake Tahoe. Two of my cousins bought there (precrash): 3+ bedrooms - 1800- 2400 sq ft ($280k-360k), now going for $200K. Beautiful views of surrounding mountains, lots of open space. I'm not sure what kind of employment there is however - most work at local casinos. Try looking on zillow.com for Gardnerville.
And of course there is lots of creative work associated with the shows in Las Vegas (6 hours driving? from Reno), also another place that has truly taken a dive economy/housing price wise (the worst in country?). Henderson is nice, lots of activities, out of the tacky congested strip areas, but yikes the summers (april - November) are HOT. Expensive, wonderful top-notch restaurants, world class shopping, but the Las vegas area is a mecca for crime, con artists.
Yeah - Colorado, Washington - we're considering them (among other places).
Good , no great info.
I am the inventor and owner of lightdims.com
After inventing LightDims I have been working from home doing mainly that. I sell online and my product is in retail stores like Frys electronics and Micro center.
For now it brings in enough money to support my wife and child who do not work. I can sell LightDims from anywhere just need stable internet and good cell phone service.
You said some interesting things. Now you have me thinking about Nevada. I will have to talk my wife into thinking that is a possibility. Thanks for that info.

Wyoming is beautiful but will be colder than Maryland in the winter and depending on where you are, will have considerably more snow. Wyoming is huge and has a number of micro climates (mountains and high desert plains) so check out the spot you are going to. I think the biggest culture shock will be how few people and how little civilization there is in Wyoming. There are about half a million people in the entire state spread over about 100,000 square miles. What that means is that trendy restaurants, live national entertainment acts and most shopping opportunities you take for granted in LA will be few and far between. People need to be more very self reliant. There aren't many government services. There isn't cell service over most of the state's area and four wheel drive is life or death rather than a fashion accessory.
Life moves at a much slower pace. I moved from Maryland to Colorado that has five million people in about the same space and after a couple of years of adjustment when I go back east, I wonder how I ever lived that way. The air will be clean, the people friendly and you children will have good schools. Class sizes are small because there aren't many kids. If you like the outdoors and empty wide open space, Wyoming is your spot.
After reading this I feel a little scared. Thanks for the perspective

Your the best Rob!
After I asked you I felt a little bad for doing so. I thought I was being lazy. But now that I see how involved it is I feel you were the perfect man for the job. This is a much needed tutorial for a powerful yet lessor known feature of AM.

My problem is the condo was great when it was just my wife and I. Now I have a Daughter and I find that I have no where to hide, nowhere to put my stuff. My wife has a room, my daughter has a room and I have the living room. In Wyoming I could get a beautiful 4 bedroom house with over 3 times the square footage and lots of land for less than what I paid.
Worst of all. My association passed a vote to increase association fees from 312.75 per month to 369.75 per month. That is insane. But some how they did it. My mortgage is 2200 a month with associations fees for a shitty 2 bedroom condo. Now they want to add 57.00 to that.
Its crazy. I am letting this place go and I am getting the hell out of hear. I just want to pick a state thats cheap to live in.
Alaska, Nevada, Wyoming, and Florida are the cheap states. Florida is to humid, Alaska to cold, Nevada too hot, I am hoping Wyoming will be just right.

Hey Rob.
Can you make a quick vid tutorial on how to do this distortion stuff?
After all I cast a spell that fixed your netrender issue.

How about if you put that Text MDL out through a PLY export with maximum subdivision and reimported it to a new model?
Yow! Good idea! I'll give it a twirl after the holiday... HAPPY LABOR DAY, Americanos!
Rob's idea to put the A:M text into a polygonal exporter was a good one...
it worked perfectly for that application.

Good idea. I will use wire removal in AE.
Can you post an error report. I only ask because I think you will write the problem better than I.
