Merry Christmas to you, Fuchur, and everyone else on the forum! If you don't celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays!

I could try taking a stab at it but I don't know if I'd be able to do a detailed enough model to stand up to close scrutiny. How large of a print are you planning on doing? Bullwinkle seems like he'd be easy but Rocky has that darn flight helmet thing he wears.

Robert, Nice contest video, very well done. I'm sure I've got more than a few projects knocking around that would qualify for this. Here is to finishing the unfinished!

Once they finally release their 8 core APU (their term for the cpu with onboard graphics) for the DIY crowd, that is going to be the new bang-for buck standard. I'm also looking forward to RDNA-2 which is rumored to be 50% faster than the Nvidia 2080ti. It will be interesting to see what the stock does, it looked like it was never going to break past $60 so it will be interesting to see where it goes from here.

I am probably one of the last people to own a VHS player. 🤣

Here are my results: Best time was 2:13 on a Ryzen 3500U mobile processor. I will test with my Threadripper 1950x system a bit later and post those results.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Clever Merry Christmas, Rob.

If I wanted to add a font to AM, is there a fonts directory? Or does it just use the Windows fonts? I did not see a font folder in the AM parent folder.

I know DarkTree textures were rolled into AM at some point and the plugin is available...but how do you go about making new textures to use with the plugin? Are they still selling the software? Or did it go the abandonware route? It looks like their website hasn't been updated since 2010.

Wow. That must have taken a heck of a long time to film on the Oxberry.

Hmm, I could have sworn I moved my license from my old workstation to a new one, but I could be mistaken. It may have just been a new hard disk in the same workstation. I would go with Rob on this one, he is the more authoritative source. I'm not sure how the $299 version handles the node-locking, but unless you plan on hanging onto that system for ten years, you're better off with the annual subscription.

AM is indeed capable of doing photorealistic texturing and rendering (please see the links that Itsjustme posted). There isn't too much problem migrating the subscription version from one system to another, you just need to make sure to back up the license file and copy that over to your fresh install. But you can't use AM on multiple systems that way, you'd need multiple licenses for that. And yes, reselling of licenses is frowned on, and while there isn't much to stop you from buying a copy off Ebay, you will run into the bugs that Robert mentioned, due to the way modern versions o
