Hello, I'm still working out of the David Rodgers book. I set up a choreography, put in some model buildings, etc. Saved it, embedded the files. When I go to open it up.....nothing. The computer keeps asking me to find stuff. Do I have to put(or copy) all the models, decals, etc, into one project file when I make something? Thanks, Andy

This is great info! Thanks all!

As I've been working with this program I noticed my files starting to grow. Does anyone care to share their organization method for working with Animation Master? I notice that if I move a file the program seems like the program looses the decals. I'm trying to get a good system now, so I won't suffer in the future. Thanks, Andy

Yes the same version on my Mac's. I may have embedded the files. I have to review that. It is nice to take a file to work and let it render over night if I need to.

Hello all. I work on a Macintosh, and I had started some models at home. I also use a Mac at work, same operating system. I saved some files on my USB drive and took the program to work, and the files won't open. I'm running the same, updated AM program at work. Am I missing a step in saving the program? Thanks!

I scanned in parts of a book.I'm making a book prop(s). The scans are saved as jpegs, I choose them as my new decal, the bounding box appears, but no image. The image is in the DECAL section. I don't know why. I've done the same process before, and it worked. I scanned the book cover under 200 dpi, is that too big? Ahhhhh!

Thanks, I also found this tutorial: http://www.hash.com/users/jsherwood/tutes/...de/stride1.html It's starting to work!

Thanks that helps, now he walks very very slow. I just want the cycle to repeat but walk on the path for longer. I can't find this in the book.

I made a very simple model, and created a walk cycle for it. Now when I put the model on a path, and try to increase the time is walks the path, the model completes one walk cycle and freezes, but glides through the path. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks, That worked. Do I have to import every image to make a full video?

Hello all, I'm trying to put an AM character into a video. I'm trying to import a video file (quicktime) but nothing works. I have quicktime pro so I can export the video into different formats. However none of them seem to work.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Thanks!

Hello, I'm trying to change the ground for a rendering, and I also wanted to change the sky color...any ideas? I must be missing this in the manual. Thanks, Andy

Thanks, that is just what I was looking for!

Hello all, I have a character that I want to have them write on a board, or wall. Does Animation Master have tools to animate that? or do I have to use Adobe After effects? Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello all, I'm working on a small project, and I need a chalkboard. A free standing chalkboard. Does anyone have one or know of anywhere I can download one? Thanks

I'm having trouble removing a decal I don't like. How do I remove it?

Has anyone had this problem....I'm building the model plane, I've been saving my work every so often, now the files in the project work space, but the model window will not open. Did I loose all my work? Any ideas what would cause this? I'm using a Mac, not that it matters.

YES! Thanks that worked! Any ideas why the other one wouldn't? Thanks again!

I'm trying that, and importing the model...the program just quits. I've put the model in the AM file, and tried importing through the PWS. Is anyone else having this problem?

I don't have it in my library, do I have to import it?

I down loaded the "fat guy" model, but it won't open in my program. Does a model have to be imported?

Ohhhh, Thanks!

Thanks, but still having an issuse. Attached is the picture of what I'm getting, little yellow lines
