I use to have under properties a way of adjusting hair density, but My computer ran into issues and had to do a fresh install of XP SP2. However when I reloaded Hash V11 with Upgrade to AM V13.0 suddenly that Density option went missing. I tried reloading it, and will try again after I get done posting this. But its a real problem, I can't find any software update links other than for VS 17 web version, which I refuse web subscription, I only want hard copies of software.
Anyway if you guys know what possibly happened so that I can undo it that would be great.
Thank you.

Yeah I know how that is, I just got done with hallows' eve and started submitting it to film fests.
But then I switched up to a new project to get over the old one. The two are polar opposites, one is a period piece abotu a guy that fights eveil to save his village, then switched up to a space sci-fi story. I found changing genre helps get back on the saddle.

Have been having issues even uploading a mascot photo to hash for the past couple months, is there a different way now than use to be?
You need to send it per E-Mail to support@hash.com. I think that is the way that always worked the best.
Ah ok there use to be an up load image button on the stills screen and then it went away.
Well maybe next time!

Wow never mind, restarted hash and time line appeared in a seperate window, where as it didnt before. so I got lucky. Everything is good
-
So I was moving another window and some how dragged my timeline off screen. there is still the time controls and slider at the bottom and despite clicking on views and checking time line it still doesnt reappear! Awesome.

I ended up turning off motion blur and just had to deal with it. Sucks but at least Im getting the shot done, I have completed 35 shots and still have 200 more to go and dont have a lot of experimenting time lol.
But I will see if I can upgrade once this project is done.

Awesome thank you guys

The scene isnt complex or involve too much movement, no multiple passes, nor particles. Just an empty room with a single light source, yet I get this error 010. If its taking too much memory 2gigs, im wondering then why it only takes 3 minutes a frame to render.
not sure why the program gives terms like exception error when it doesnt describe what the actual issue is.
-
I placed a light into choreography and noticed that the lens flare "ON" was greyed out and disabled. Have you guys noticed this??

Sean, when you're rendering have you watched the info box? it will show you what item it's working on and I suspect it's trying to render offscreen models. i've noticed something like this too.
Yeah its weird. its really really hard to explain something that is visual in this case. But yeah I notice it was trying to render the object even if it isnt in frame. Plus it was moving fast with motion blur. probably it.

Noticed a glitch, I have a character that is being tossed into frame to be comp'd in to back ground. When character is not in frame to where it is a blank back ground it takes 2 hours to render each frame when there is nothing to render. Yet once he is in frame it takes 45 seconds. So I usually have to follow him with the camera and then After effect it back to how it would have originally looked.
Anyone noticed this or know why?
VS 13
OS XP SP2

Looking good Sean!
Hair and Cloth aren't difficult but it does take some experimenting to get a good feel for what works best.
Don't you love those ureka moments when the plan comes together.
Most definitely love the ah ha's after hours and horus of torment and frustration. Then go back to creating again

Is he done with hair thickness or image map hair?
That would be an interesting way to do it, though I wanted to use the decale attached to the skin itself to give the hair color (attributes) already able to do that just fine. Will try some stuff and see what happens. The book showed a picture of the bird and said it was done with thickness yet the tips of the feathers where curved. WEIll have to experiment. Wish they had a specific setting to control it like taper or what have you.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I get It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Got it to work and understand how it works. LOL Thank you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now on to problem number two! LOL
Doing pretty well with Hair system but now Im trying to use it to create Feathers like MR. Dodo. His Picture in the book looks great however despite changing thickness I can't seem to get the ends of the feathers to be rounded off like his in the photo. I tried Cap ends on and off but no luck.
Any suggestions?

There are two CD's with Tinwoodsman and Scarecrow on them. If Tinwoodsman's chest is chrome, that has v13l on it and can run v13t (as well as 14c, if I'm remembering correctly). If Tinwoodsman has a gold chest, the disc can run v15 and the v16 beta.
LOL Im going to guess chrome even though its a little yellowish, probably from reflecting the yellow off the scare crow.
After installing it I did the tutorial again, still didnt work. Interesting enough the book said to go to ADD GROUP then click attached, yet they dont talk about what attached is, where it came from, how to create it, or even what or why its there. Kinda missed a step in the step by step instructions and the pages are in sequential order so not like a page fell out or something.

The old crumudgeon here... do yourself a BIG favor... don't use outdated software and wonder why it does not give you updated results. It's like running Windows95, and wondering why it's so hard to connect it to a network when everyone else using Win7 has no problems. There has been a lot of updates to A:M since 13... a LOT. It's worth the expense especially if you are using advanced features.
LOL definitely know, but even the earliest version of Hash still did a pretty good job
And I have the two AM books in which the instructions for sim cloth seem to be straight forward however just didn't work. And when I looked up tutorials for sim cloth the stuff was made already and was showing how to use Force to make it work which I totally understand. Its just I was looking for the A-Z tutorial on creating the simcloth material and assigning it to the object to become cloth and then see it actually behave that way. Cloth can take some time to work with it right yet the hash book dedicated page 191 192 and 193.I'm curious if any of the Video DVD's for sale at the hash store give a more in depth look as to how to work with cloth. I feel like I'm one click away LOL from making it work just fine.
p.s. I'm not complaining about the software not working LOL I'm complaining about myself not being able to know my way through the problem...if I'm complaining at all. XD
So thats either a digit cut off on the screen shot of my version or its version "I"

Hair density Option missing after reload - Cannot change hair density

WOW so just for grins I created a new Material hair emitter and the option came back for that one, but not the other hair emitter. That is really really weird!
I'll leave this up incase someone has the same problem and does a search, but looks like you have to just create another MATERIAL-> HAIR SYSTEM -> Hair emmiter
