Thanks for that info Nancy. You should not need Quicktime 10. I dont use it often. I like quicktime 7 as I am on a PC when using AM. The .mp4 movies with .mov extensions work fine on all of my 4 windows machines. Some running Vista some running Win 7. You are probably correct that I should always record to the H.264 codec as it seems to be more friendly to most viewers. I am a firm believer in being progressive. Being a Camera operator I refuse to take jobs that are Standard Definition. Luckily not one client in 2009 requested standard def. I didnt spend $10,000.00 on an HD camera to record in SD. With that said the solution for people in your position is to simply download the tutorial and use "cntrl 0" to shrink the video to half size. In my opinion you should be doing that anyway so you can add the file to your home library in case the site ever went down. Please dont take my response the wrong way, I am sure its vary frustrating to be unable to view the tutorial. And I mean no disrespect. I do have problems with most utube tutorials, aside from the lack of resolution I can not keep the video for my own library easily. I plan to start an paid site for tutorials and those tutorials will be available to view by the lowest common denominator.

Updated a new link at the top.

good work

Hi Matt I sent you two emails. Did you receive them? Could you let me know if thy got blocked as spam or not?

few more

I use IshowU HD works well. But Snow leopard with quick time pro has screen and audio recording built in. Its necessary to purchase anything if you have that.

Matt What would you charge me for a video tutorial or two? Can we communicate about this via email? jason@jasonhampton.us

Some people said the Ogre zip file was corrupt so I uploaded the mov. please download before playing or it will be removed because of band width issues.

I think your right but I hope Matt can explain.

Hi Matt Can you tell me how you got that perfect gloss on the top of the globe?

I am uploading the original .mov file now. It should be up in 15 minutes

I felt it fitting that AM should be levitating as it is a Jedi master.

Your a model factory. Do you take requests? just kidding about the requests. Thank you.

Sweet render. I hope to see a Vtut when you perfect it.

My tutorials can be found here

Thanks Bro

You know above in orange letters, what font was used for "A:M Forums" or does anyone have that Model? If anyone has this model in the picture below or how to get it please let me know. I want to use it for my presentation if possible. Preferably without the Yeti.

Apples Motion. Its kind of like Adobe AE but its better in some ways and in others not so much. Funny in the chor the color changes from red to pink.

High Res still of some completed characters.

After you've saved your action with the action objects - then right click on the action in the PWS and choose EXPORT to mdl Thank you

I made the mistake of deleting a model that is used as an action object in a pose for another model. I though that the model contained the action object. I was wrong and hours of work were lost. Is there a way to embed action objects? So that you have everything contained in one model?

I am impressed in the quality of your lighting and render settings as well as the modeling

Thanks guys

Your skills are improving.

I need to know if there is a difference between hiding a model vs making it 100% Transparent. I have a rig for a camera that simulates a Jib and dolly. I need to see the jib when setting up the camera moves. But I know that render times decrease when there are less patches or models in the chor. Because the rig will never be seen in the final render I need to find out the most efficient way to make it disappear easily. I could hide the model in the modeling window before I render Or I could make it 100% Transparent. I prefer the transparency method because I can create a Pose to easily turn off and on. However Hiding it in my mind assures me that AM is not taking time to calculate it in rendering. Am I inccorect? Is it safe to just create a pose to make it 100% Transparent? No difference between the two options?
