  1. Hi Everyone,

    My Name is John Booker and I have had a fascination with computer art since the early 1980s when I attended SIGGRAPH in Seattle, Washington with my father who was a government contactor for the department of defense. I had the opportunity to draw Star Wars caracatures for the Balley corporation in the exhibit hall and I was hooked. I started painting in computer art with the first edtion of Fractal Painter. My new interest is playing with Animation Master and learning the ins and out of the software. I look forward to talking with everybody. I received AM for my 42nd birthday this year at the FTEC conference in Orlando, FL where I met Marshall Hash and his wife.

    Thanks and take care...

    John

  2. After playing around with everything I could think of, I started turning off and on some of the bones and was able to get it setup as the example in the exercise. I did follow Rodey's earlier post and turned on all the bones , but I could not see the one I needed for the exercise. I feel dumb now..... :(

    Anyway here is a photo of the bones that need to be turned on and off...

    If you then save your skeleton by right clicking on the label in the Project Workspace Window it will then be set-up this way for future lessons.

  3. Just wanted to make some comments about what I noticed about the 2001 skeleton rig that I was going to use in Exercise 13

     

    1 - when you turn on the the bones it looks just like the example that Rodney refers to earlier in one of the first few post in this section , so I tried Rodeney's solution and turned on all of the bones.... well I see new bones, but the ones you use in the exercise are not right... I'll explain... when you view the skeleton in the front view several bone are already oriented in the wrong direction (in other words if you go to the top view you can see them) see below....

    So I thought I would try an experiment...

    I pulled out my laptop and loaded the software and tried it on there and guess what the skeleton looked great like it was supposed to....

    So I went back to my desktop and uninstalled the software and re-loaded it thinking that might take care of it.....

    but no luck still is the same....

    So now I'm of to try the new rig on this exercise... to be continued..... :blink: [attachmentid=15641][attachmentid=15642]
