You know how we flatten models in a pose so that we can evenly distribute the decal. Well I cant remember how you actually apply the decal after you flatten the model in the pose.

Not a bad deal. at first glance it may seem slightly more expensive than the previous post I made above but with this coupon code SPRING0410 for basically the same price as before you get a 700w power supply up from 500, you get a 60GB OCZ agility 3 6GBs SSD up from a 500GB sata 6 HDD and you get 1600 ram up from 1333 I tried dropping the graphics card and downgrading the power supply but then you are not eligible for the coupon code. So you might as well take the free upgrades. I talked to a customer service rep and he told me to wait until Friday. So im guessing ill be able to shave $100 off this price. I might grab 2 of these to add them to my render Q Or I could do 2 of these which gets me 12 cores and 18gs of ram vs 8 cores and 16gs of ram.

Hi Robert. WHat do we have to do? just copy and paste? How do we proceed, who will edit it?

Fluid Is it me or is there no mention of the settings in the tech ref?

Thanks folks.

In the tools tips Curved mode by selecting an object and hitting c or shift c. I cant find out what it does. Cant find it in the tech ref.

How are you getting AM models, textures and rigs into XSi and rendering with Modo? I didnt know that was possible. I thought once you leave AM you loose a bunch of stuff.

I think you should submit that santa for AM17 Mascot.

The Show Manipulators in World Space button on the Manipulator toolbar allows you to change the orientation of the translate manipulator so you can move an object based on the axes of the window instead of the axes of the object. It can be used in both Choreography and Action windows.

Thank you my friend.

but I heard statistics don't lie? Like 2 out of 3 doctors prefer camels.

I am bad at math. How do you calculate this. What is the formula? I did the cross multiply and divide thing. Am 15 was 595 second Am 16 was 289 and Am 17 was 249. On a separate note I tested the render lock and got these results. I think its important because we often use this to see what we are getting. AM 15 57-105 second AM 16 26-34 seconds AM 17 24-28 seconds I used a stop watch but got various results. The only constant was that AM 17 was faster than the rest.

AM17Alpha2 is 14% faster on my System Than AM16b and 58% faster than AM15j+

Do any of these renders have SSS on them?

Not bad.

2:16 Yoda you now have the record for the fastest AM benchtest. But its no fair because you got to use AM 17

I tested forces with cloth in 16b its having a bunch of trouble updating. Even if I delete keys sometimes the simulation does not change. Ill change something on the 1st key delete all other the keys and re simulate but no change. Cloth and forces or even just cloth seems to have gotten very buggy in this version

looks great. Back in V15 forces and cloth worked fine. Ill test it in 16

me too

speechless

I have always had problems with copy flip attach. Xtaz does this mean you are finishing the camero tutorial? I have been waiting patiently for I think 3 years.

It looks like Cyber power is the victor when an apples to apples comparison is made. Still less than $1000.00 for all this wow.

Furchur What do you think about the 8core Bull dozer vs the X6 ???? I was customizing on IBUYPOWER.com and I can basically purchase the same system for the same price only difference is these two procs. My thinking is that I should go with the 8core even though it is slower than the 6 core. I think this because my biggest complaint with AM is render time. 8 cores will render more frames per hour than 6cores even if the six coures are a little faster core for core.

Thanks Furchur I was curiouse how the AMD X6 1090T at 3.4GHZ would do with the AM Bench Test. Intel will always be faster but the price is not always worth it. I wish they made Mac pros with dual AMD 1090T's. If they did that they could probably drop the price $500.00-$1000.00 on the mac pros. Apple / intel wants to charge a wapping $1200.00 more simply for this.

a few years from now the time may be down to seconds not minutes. Even now 2:32 is a far cry from the old 10-18 minute times we had.
