Thanks Guys, Do any of you use the community window in AM? I have never been able to register. When I try to register and then sign in, a window comes up saying sign in name can't be found. Tony

Is there a place I can go to learn more about how to model and set up things like tubes sliding around circular rods, making cymbals flop around on a stand when struck by a drum stick without the stick passing through the cymbal, making machine type assemblies rotate on an axle without sliding through the axle. The learning experience has been hard for me, but I am determined to learn no matter how long it takes. Thanks in advance! Tony

I am trying to work through the SHOW SOME BACK BONE tut. I follow along with the online video tut, but when I open the 2001 Skeleton rig, there are bones missing. Also during the video tut, when the instructor clicks on groups of bones, the grouping bracket that comes up looks like a little reel to reel tape recorder. That bracket does not come up for me when I click on different bone groups. Can anyone help me out? I am using version 13.01 Thanks in advance! T MAC

I am trying to work through the Lip Poses Tutorial. When I turn on the magnetic mode and click a corner of the lips to make adjustments the sphere of influence does not appear like in the tutorial video. What would cause this? T MAC

Hey oakchas, I'm finally back. Had a commercial shoot about 80 miles from here today. First, I am going to try and download 12.0s. Then I will pursue the latest driver updates. Back in a few... OK, downloaded the update from AM. Checked the (About Animation Master 2005) window and it says version 12.0t instead of 12.0s. Is this correct? T MAC

AM version: 12.0n+ I will try an reinstall tomorrow. I will also try to update drivers. It's late here on the East Coast. I am going to hit the sack and try to touch base you all tomorrow if you are around. Thank you guys for the quick response. I was starting to have second thoughts. One more thing, do you all use the community window on the AM project screen, or do you just discuss matters here? T MAC

WOW! This is the response I've been wanting! Hey Guys, thanks so much! Here is what I sent to support@hash... I have had AM for about two weeks now and I am having a lot of problems with some of the models disappearing from the project screen. This happens once I load some models and use the turn, size or any other adjustment to alter the view on the model. When I load Hero Dude, change to shaded view then try to turn him, everything but his hair and eyes vanish. Lady Goodbody's dress and hands vanish. Lambrina's bikini top vanishes and there are open holes where her nipples should be. When I drop in Sir Nigel, he has a white patch in front of his eyes and he has long hair. I kept hacking around and found that if I double click his eyebrows decal, click the selected tab, click the + icon, click the + by images and double click the oldman eyebrows under images, then he will look normal. When I try to load some combinations of models into a project, one or both of them will vanish. I also posted this problem on the forum and it seems others have had this happen also. Also, when I try to create a new sign in for the Animation Master Community window and try to log in, a prompt comes up saying (Sign in name does not exist) All these things are making my learning experience very frustrating. So, I will appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks! my system: ACPI Multiprocessor PC Windows XP Media Center Edition version 2002 3.2 gigahertz processor 512 megs of RAM display adaptor : Radeon X700 Pro running dual monitors By direction of one the guys at your support phone number, in options I changed the real-time driver to Direct3D v8. This was due to the fact that when I started AM, I could not get the stage window to come up.

Hey Guys, I am new to AM and need help with some issues. I have e-mailed support@hash twice, but have recieved no reply. How can I get some advice for my problems? Thanks T MAC

Hey to all, I'm another new kid on the block. I have been in the broadcast industry for 31 years in the Charlotte, NC area. Over the years I've learned to wear a lot of hats in the biz. I am a videographer, Steadicam and Jib operator, an editor using Avid Adrenaline, Sony Vegas 5.0 and Adobe Photoshop. I also serve as a lighting director for our commercials and live remote programs. I purchased AM a little over a week ago and I am already overwhelmed at how deep this program is. There seems to be a mountain of learning resources and user support available to newbies like myself. I am having some problems when working with tutorials with my models vanishing from the screen leaving only the bones. I have made my first post on the forum trying to clear this problem up. I am really looking forward to learning AM as another production skill, and just as importantly, making new friends here on this forum. Thanks! T MAC

No, I am rotating on the horizontal plane. T MAC

Hey All, I have had AM for a week now and I am having some weird things happen. I have been trying to follow one of the video tutorials on walking cycles. I double click the an actor, it opens up, I close that window and double click Actions, set the view to shaded. But, when I try to rotate the model it vanishes leaving only the bones visible. This is happening on a lot of different models. What is causing this? Thanks for your help! T MAC

Hello to all, I just purchased AM this week and started looking around the interface and exploring a little for the first time last night. I created sign in name in the Community panel but when I click the sign in button, a panel comes us saying (Sign in name does not exist). What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance! T MAC
