Man no one is ever happy haha.

Man, I need to find someone to go through and edit my posts so I don't look so dumb here! Ok, I moved the date to the last day of January. That is as long as I can put it off since we have a lot of shows in Jan/Feb. If the CD's are not done by the first big show we will just take v15.0 CDs with links to get v16.0 or something. Good luck all.. Well maybe all but the ones that made fun of my spelling and typos haha!

Hello, It 2011 and V16.0 coming up I'm going to open a mascot contest. The dead line will be 01/31/2011 and voting will began soon after that and last about 2 weeks. You cane mail all data and entries to support@hash.com. We have some siggraph Hash, Inc. jackets that we can give out to the winners if they would like them. Rules: 1). All entries must be modeled and rendered in A:M. Third party paint programs like Photoshop can be used for painting texture decals 2).

Hello, I do not know if this has been covered but in most cases you can just add the server path in windows to any file server. I think this is the best way to share A:M data. \\machine name\path_01\Data\library\ Or where ever you have your .lbr file at. Now all users most see the path the same. Now students do not have the right to change setting of what you see at log in. The best way to do this is to log in as a root admin on a machine change the settings to what you like and have your IT staff distribute out the registry paths. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hash, Inc. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hash, Inc. It's best to set up all settings, library paths, open windows and other settings before It distribute out the settings. Most of the time none admin users can not see C:\program files\ in school settings so you can remove that path. if you are going to have each computer have it's on path it is best to have IT add it and make it read only something like C:\AM_files\Data\Library\ If you have anymore questions you can email support@hash.com and we can help you out.

Hello all, There is a small patch added to v15.0j+ to address the text issue in the library panel. You download the new installer here. CD Installer Subscription installer Installer There is not a fresh installer for Windows. Thank you, Hash, Inc.

Hello, Also we send a DVD with all of the items listed in http://www.hash.com/reference.htm http://www.hash.com/vm.htm That your school tech. can mount on a share drive so you are able to watch someone while you work. With out using up your schools in/out bound bandwidth. If you have any more questions feel free to email orders@hash.com and we can help you out. Thank you, Jason Simonds Hash, Inc.

Hello, the 'Video grabber' on A:Mfilms in now fixed. There was a small change to youtube that broke it and it's now working again. This lets you post your videos from http://www.youtube.com to A:Mfilms To do this just sign in > click upload > on the top bar you will see 'Upload Youtube' it will ask for your youtube url after that you can pick the channels, tags and anything else you want to add. This will let your data play in A:Mfilms and let your videos be posted embedded to the forums. Have a good day all, Jason Simonds

I know right? The play back is a little jumpy, i think it's that the computer they ran the video on could not run it at that size. There was also a really small version that played smoother but was so small you could not really see it. so i put this one online.

Alright in this video we will be talking again about how to make some more lip poses. What I would like to do first is a quick review of what the face interface is. And basically it is just a bunch of control nulls that move pose sliders Added by: hashinc Tags: Facial Muscle Motions Animation:Master Tech Talk Hash inc Date: 2010-03-15 View the full article

In this demo we will be covering another way to do the eyelids. In another demo I showed you control point weighting to the bones for making your eyelid poses. There is another way of doing the eyelids that might be faster. Its just your preference on which way you chose to do it. In this demo I’ll be showing you smart skinning.
