  1. Thanks!! I will give it a try!!
  2. Wilhelm When I downloaded the plug in for AM64 and placed them in their respective folders I get an error when I launch AM. it states Unable to load plug in V18_PointCache_64.hxt, the specified module could not be found Unable to load plug in matCapTexture_64.atx, the specified module could not be found I got them plugged into the correct folders. Any thoughts? Steve
  3. Jeff i will happy to help with getting the data off for you. Where are you?
  4. Wanted to let you know, Chris and I have taken a small detour to right some wrongs and delve deeper into dynamics with the help of one of the local gurus. More to come.
  5. This happened to me as i did not set the poses to not set before i had exported.
  6. I joined in because this has been an issue for me for awhile. On the first move, crash. Then after restarting it took ten times before a crash after that it seemed to be not an issue. On a grouping it crashed after two times.
  7. Kevin, as Matt was looking at the off/on state of steady pelvis and others i think that might address what is lacking, i will look at that when i return home
  8. I was able tpo use my own face rig. Head geom parent. I placed them in after i ran the install
  9. Gotcha. I reached out to Mack, but i have not heard back
  10. Matt try turning off steady pelvis in the spin with bvh
  11. http://www.thewrap.com/disney-interactive-closes-disney-infinity/ Surprises me.
  12. With the help of others I am finally customizing the rig for my needs. Kudos to Mack. I haven't heard from him in a while;
  13. Yes did not work for me either in a simple test
  14. Hi Jamison, first, so very sorry for your loss. Kat was a wonderful inspiration around here. Anything we can do to help you we will try. Ask lots of questions
  15. The antivirus software Trend Micro and one the other packages have recommended to remove QT on windows. They stated they have not seen an outbreak yet but the software is vulnerable to allow malicious code to run. I get this from the It sites I belong to. Just yesterday I got another warning to show the vulnerability of QT.
  16. Awesome Rodney, thanks for the help. I have known how to set it up and can very useful for pony tails, etc. I will teview this when i get home. Oops. If i would have known how.
  17. I had my old manual out and saw something about shag hair. Is there a link to show how shag hair works? Steve
  18. Oliver, I highly recommend using the time on Saturday to visit with Robert. I learn something new every time I talked to him.
  19. http://www.engadget.com/2016/03/04/fur-technology-makes-zootopias-bunnies-believable/ Very interesting
  20. I saw Zootopia on Thursday night. I went in with mixed feelings, but really enjoyed the movie. I was amazed at the number of characters and what it would take to rig them. From a technical aspect I think Disney did a great job. Steve By the way I go to all the 3d animated films, well I did not go see Norm of the North
  21. Robert and Roger I have set up and dismantled and rebuilt three different render farms. Believe it or not an i5 4700 series processor runs great for the money. Jason1025 has a new mac pro and i think i had just as good of results with an older intel 920 I7. I have 3 amd bulldozer chips and above 8 core systems and they did good but an older 6 core 1190t amd outperformed the 8 cores. All of the zeon systems i have were 4 and 6 core and performed about the same as the 8 core amd fx chips. I guess what i am saying, do not overspend for wizbang because cost per performance is not there in my opinion. The important thing is memory in the individual machine. I have built all my machines on the standard of 4 gigs per core. Here what i have for my current farm. For am server i have a dell poweredge 300t 24 gig system. It has 4 generation zeon 2.5 ghz. Intel 5930 6 core 32gb, i7 920 24 gb Four intel I5 4700 4 core 16 gb of ram. Three amd fx 8350 8 core 32 gb ram, amd 1190t 6 core with 32 gb of ram, which give me currently 56 cores. Now i still have 6 dell modified 4 core poweredge 840 that have second gen zeons, hand full of core 2 duo quads that still perform 85 of the i5. Any way if i had the upgrade am i could have close 100 cores in the farm. The next thing that really needs to happen is some fleshing out of netrender as there are still some problems. Also look at gpu to make sure it supports open gl 3 and above Really just as important is the backbone for the render farm, gig switches a must and the network running with the basics. As i ramble along if you have the money the super system would be great, but look at how much you will use the farm and your cost to get there. I sold a great deal of my last setup after rendering three projects and watching it sit for a year. I had purchased alot of nice equipment and did not get much use from it.
