I'm psyched! Glad Duke made it. I hope to make the meetings as much as I can. Great bunch of people we've got. What a crew!!!!
Glad to have have, LUCKBAT, another Brooklyn boy! I wont be so lonely... 
-
Wow...it's been a loooong time for me. Count me in. I remember the original NYHUG back in the day. Glad to see we have a new one! Hey, D-Bo, I plan to call Duke and see if he can make it, too!

Excellent! Modeling is top notch and the robot shows great character - fun, too! Rendering is very very nice. What type of lighting set up did you use? Render times?
Thanks,
Tony
-
Very, very nice modeling. Can we see wireframes? I would like to see how you layed them out. Nice job! Can't wait for the textures to be added...

Hi, John:
As always, your work is top notch! I agree, maybe a sky image may push the image of the plane further out. I would also, if possible, like to see another angle, possibly angling towards the viewer?
Any update on SkyCast...!?
Tony

Aah. Got it. I understand. That's an ingenious way to solve a problem. I like the way you set up the cho. Why work harder - work smarter. Good one...

That is such a great looking car/design. Very cool. One thing I noticed, which I'm sure you see, are some creases on the side paneling. I see this car being very red and very fast! I look forward to more updates - nice work.

Have you considered a render from an birds eye view? It would be interesting to pull back the camera and see the "janitor" in it's environment. Just my $.0046

Ok, my PC must be possessed...now I can see the image from the first post. Yep, I need a stiff shot of tequila. Great image! I really like the textures and DOF. One thing ...what is that yellow object? Is that being tossed into the janitor? Did it fall off? Maybe some motion blur to denote movement? I really like this image. Nicely done. Light set up? Wireframe? I like the modeling of the janitor...nice detail.

Very nice image. I hope you continue to refine it. I like the overall feel and mood and I think the fairies are very well modeled. It's a shame that it wasn't in the contest. Hope to see more of this...

Odd...when I click on the link I simply see the Tripod logo. I'm using Firefox and XPPro.

I have to echo the other comments - very interesting indeed. However, can we see a closer look? Overall it looks like a very nice model. Real nice work.
Tony

Excellent model. I especially like the cloth. What type of light set up did you use? I'd love to see the lighting from underneath to give him more of a menacing appearance. Looking forward to more updates...
Tony

...ah me, too!

This is coming along quite well. I really like the exhaust and the "rear swoop" of the back end. Sheesh...wish I could walk down and buy the Mach 5 from a local car dealer ship...ah the memories.

I really like the render. I especially like the hands and the "weight" the toon render gives them. As well as the over all strength of the pose - nicely done! I have always believed A:M has the best toon render, bar none!
You have just proved it.Hope to see more.

Speed Racer...I love that show! Looking real good. Can't wair for more. Will you have the buzz saw jutting out of the front!?
-
Overall, very nice. I like the scene and set up. However, be careful - the nearest brush is actually intersecting the paint can. If you look at the very top at the tip of the brush it is colliding right into the top of the can...
Tony

Holy crap...that's good!!!
Now I know where my next purchase is going to be. My wife did say she wanted to re-do the bathroom...

I finally had time to start viewing the CD/movies. I highly reccommend the set. Once you see these movies you will truly appreciate the power of A:M. Sam does a wonderful job of explaining the amazing capabilities of A:M like post effects and then dives into compositing and titling. I think anyone that wants to utilize A:M to it's fullest, or plans to use any live action and cg, needs to get this set.
A tip of the hat to Sam and the entire Anzovin crew - great job all around...

One option, unfortunately not free (quite reasonable though...), is the following:
It offers a trial period. Simply install, CTRL+P>PDF995>save to a location and it generates the PDF file of the web site. It's not perfect, but works like a charm. They offer an editor/suite, which I have not used, so I don't know what PDF capabilities it offers. Sorry. Also, if you run under OSX, it will allow you to save a web page as a PDF file under the print dialog. Neato stuff. I use this feature all the time. Helps me archive tutorials and articles which I then burn onto CD. No wonder my wife freaks with all the CD's I have laying about!
Hope this helps.

You wont regret the purchase. The folks at Anzovin are very responsive and all around nice people!

Hi, John:
I posted this in the OT section. Hope this helps.
*****************************************
Some time back someone posted about render farm services and I think mentioned RenderMuscle. Well, I emailed Mike Ulrich of RenderMuscle.
I asked him about his render farm services. Below, with his permission, is his response(s):
<<Hey Tony,
I'm guessing you are asking about our render farm? Currently the farm is
offline. We will be updating the nodes in the not so distant future
as we approach internal rendering needs, but we've moved the farm from a
commercial service to an in-house studio farm. There just was'nt enough
interest to keep them up and running... ate up too much juice.
Prior to taking things offline, we did render a couple projects that used
DarkTree and could render AM projects from 8.5 - V.11. If things time out
favorably, there is the possibility of using our farm as we fire it up
for internal renders after the 1st of the year. We have 25 rack mounted Dual
AMD 2100+ nodes, each with a gig of ram.
Thanks,
Mike Ulrich>>
As well as...
<<Once we have the nodes back on-line to render our in-house production, I'd
be happy to to open it up for others between renders. We will have a good
weeks worth of work getting it back on-line (we've moved and they all need
serviced)
As far as sharing my e-mail on the list, that would be fine, although I
won't be able to offer services until after we have things back up and
running. I can't take a week to do that until after the first of the year.
Keep me posted,
Mike>>
Mike, if needed, can be reached at mike@rendermuscle.com
Hope this helps,
Tony

Sadly, I cannot attend...
I was called into a contract negotiation for Monday afternoon. I'll be tied up all morning prepping. Sorry! I hope to make the next one. I was so excited to attend this one...I hope to make up for it.
Thanks everyone!
Tony
