  1. Jason, I'm taking a stab at writing a flyer.

     

    What will the situation with NetRender be when v16 is released?

     

    How many cores will the standard license permit at once?

     

    Will you be able to deploy the render slaves on computers other than the one A:M is licensed on?

     

    What's the plan?

     

     

    That is still in talks not sure the small flyer is the place to cover that. But yes this will be for v16.0 But we do not know the core limits or instances at this time.

  2. Adding this for discussion's sake...

     

    Hash Inc has a pretty good collection of Menu Navigation Gifs from the old HTML help files.

    Here is a collection of them from '98: Later versions have a considerably more extensive set.

     

    Note: The original images are already separate.

     

     

    Yeah i can get them from the source code. but i did not know if anyone had better ones or something they wanted to use.

  3. Yeah a zip of the images you would like would be great.

     

    But you can not pick the images shows comes a file attachment type that is hard set, Just like the mime type.

     

    Next to the sub/super set drop down is a list of smiles you can use. I think I can update that too. So if you guys have some you like post them.

  4. Is it possible to define some more smiley-type images, that are not actual smileys but are A:M interface buttons?

     

    So when someone is lost on what the "Patch Select" button is we can just insert the image without having to screen cap anything.

     

     

    Like .cho file look like the red chair and cone and so on? I can look into that i just have to make gif images for all of them.

     

    I changed all A:M files on the list from the smiley and there is no smiley images anymore.

  5. Here is an updated list of file types:

     

    I also added the yellow A:M guy to A:M file types

  6. I got error message from photoshop (ver 6.01, PC):

     

    "Could not open Monitor_Logo.psd because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered".

     

    However, I was able to open the 07NewAMLogo.psd, as well as page_8x11.psd (in zip file) without any problem.

     

     

    EDIT: More than likely I won't submit something, but was just letting you know in case other's experience problem. Could it be my photoshop is too old?

     

    No i will look at that when i get back today. Think i may have the wrong MIME type for .psd on the forums or it can not read it.

  7. I'm happy to see you turn to the forum for some help with design work, Jason- excellent move. I hope we don't disappoint you.

     

     

    Yeah i think anything will be better then what i come up with. I worked on it a bit but for the most part only took the old flyer edited some text and added some links.

     

    I'm looking forward to this!

     

    Thanks Again guys!

  8. I know everyone is busy working on the V16.0 mascot but I thought I would give away some more sigraph Hash, Inc. jackets.

     

    Hash, Inc. is looking for a new flyer to go along with V16.0 for 2011. Below is the one we are using now. How I think this will work is you can submit your items. Hash, Inc will use either all or part of your design. If Hash, Inc. uses all or part of your design Hash, Inc. will send you a sigraph Hash, Inc. jacket that we have. Sizes are limited.

     

    Things I would like to see on the flyer.

    • facebook link http://www.facebook.com/animationmaster
    • Amfilms link
    • Hash, Inc. link
    • Windows logo
    • Mac logo (with out universal binary)
    • 64bit logo
    • The Hash, Inc. monitors brush logo
    • The new Hash, Inc. logo
    • Good text for schools and personal users/Small studios

    The deadline for this will be I'm going to leave this open for a bit longer I really like what we got but keeping it open so some people can finish theirs. I will take response on this but will be the final vote.

     

    Thanks Again Everyone!

    p.s. I do not need input on my poor spelling and grammar thank you haha

     

     

    Attached is the ones we are using now, the templates and the facebook logo.

    flyer.zip

     

    Monitor_Logo.psd (you can change the colors)

  9. Beware! The URL 'http://www.animationmaster.com' hasn't worked in years.

     

    I see that is still at the bottom of the images.

     

    Maybe I should register that. ;)

     

    It is registered by Hash through GoDaddy.com; updated on 05-may-2010, expires 01-mar-2015. http://animationmaster.com/ redirects to http://www.hash.com/, but http://www.animationmaster.com/ does not. Both domain lookups return an IP address, presumably the other name would just have to be added to the existing animationmaster.com web site definition that redirects to www.hash.com.

     

     

    i added back http://www.animationmaster.com and http://animationmaster.com still goes to the same place but not a redirect.

     

    It may take a few hours for your dns to update.

  10. 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!

  11. 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). The images will be 480X640 in the splash screen, But i would like a image at least 1440x1920 so we have a high rez version for promo items and poster.

    3). I will also need a render if just the characters with out a back drop in 480x640

    3). By submitting your work, you are granting Hash, Inc license to reprint the work, including but not limited to promotional material, cd/dvd covers, splash screens, web sites, and articles

    4). Submissions must be substantially original work done by the submitter, and the submitter must not use any copyrighted work without permission

    Good Luck all!

  12. 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.
