Hi, Nice room. The bat looks a bit too big to me and I think the room needs a rug. Lori

Problem solved. Upgrading to v14 did help. I just hadn't completely installed it. Lori

Hi, I just got a new computer(intel Mac) and the buttons (like zoom etc) are not visible when I open A:M. I upgraded to v14 and that did not help. Any ideas? I did try to change the toolbar settings but this did not work. Lori

That did it. Thanks! Lori Hiatt

Hi I am on the fighter tutorial and when given instructions to delete the canopy from the body to make a "new Body" in preparation for decalling, the video said to do an edit, complement all. I don't have ths selection. I also noted I don't have complement spline either. Any ideas? I have the most recent version. Lori Hiatt

Hi Robert, That makes sense that it wouldn't work. I was applying what I learned with walk cycles but that doesn't make sense! Thanks, Lori Hiatt

Hi, I am working on my flower project and creating an action as review. I can get copy keyframe and paste key frame to work but not copy keframe/paste mirrored to work. Here's a screen shot after I did a mirrored paste for frame 25. Lori Hiatt

Your awsome Jim! Thanks, Lori

Hello, I am working on the Flower tutorial and the tutorial talks about using a tilby key or clicking the right and left buttons on the mouse simultaneously to close the leaves. I only have a one button mouse and use control click for a left click. How do I do this with a one button mouse. What is the tilby key? Thanks, Lori Hiatt

Thanks for the links. I was trying to edit in the time line those squares in project workspace. I got undesirable effects at the beginning (model neutral position jumped facing backwards at 0) when I was spacing time inbetween my choreography. Lori Hiatt

Hi, I'm going through the tutorials and it seems there is more to A:M than what is in the book. Is there a manual online or on the CD that I am missing? Lori Hiatt

Thanks to all. I am getting better results with adding extra keys. Didn't know if there was an easier way! I'll let you know how it goes. I used the book and the video combined step by step and it looked great until I started copying and pasting! Lori

Hi, I am trying to work with the graph solution. I did not have IK Left foot but left foot target as shown. I tried several lines and went to zero slope but nothing helped. Lori

Hi, Apple shift 3 did it. Very cool, sounded like a camera taking a picture. Apple Shift 4 and you can do just a portion of the screen. Here's finders info. Take a picture of the whole screen Press Apple Shift-3 Take a picture of part of the screen Press Apple Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want in the picture. To cancel, press Escape. Take a picture of a window, a menu, the menu bar, or the Dock. Press Apple -Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. To drag to select the area instead, press the Space bar again. To cancel, press Escape. Lori

I am working on Exercise 5-take a walk and I'm so proud, all looks perfect 0-15. see picture. Then I do the edit copy keyframe. edit paste mirrored to 20 and I get rabbit's foot going through the floor starting on keyframe #11. I don't want to fix all of this manually. What am I doing wrong? Here's a picture of #15 after pasting #20. Thanks in advance. Lori Hiatt

This may seem obvious but I want to post my screen shots so I can communicate the problem I am having. How do I do this? Lori Hiatt

Hi Gerry, I'm in Mooresville/Lake Norman area which is loosing it's small town feel. I'm originally from Watertown NY-Now that's a happening place! Lori

HI Robert, Thanks for the info. That fixed it. Is Sorensen Video 3 a better compression than animation for quicktime. I don't know much about compression settings. Lori Hiatt

Thanks Dennis, That did it. Lori

Hi, Here is my It's a Pitch movie. I am perplexed on how I lost my blue sky and would like to know how to get it back. Look forward to your feedback. Lori Hiatt It__s_a_pitchSide.mov

Hi, I am going through the tutorials and I think this is where I am supposed to post to get credit. Here's the finished product with two views. I was playing around with backgrounds when I first got the software and now my sky isn't blue! Look forward to feedback. Lori Hiatt It__s_a_pitch.mov It__s_a_pitchSide.mov

Hi Dhar, Poor thing. Buried before his time. He was definately underground and much happier now. Thanks! Lori Hiatt and Sig frog.

Hi, I imported Dennis' sig frog from my desktop and only 1/2 of him shows. Only what is above the y axis shows. I can rotate him to supine and sure enough just the top half of him shows but only in shaded mode. I can see the whole wire figure. Renders above the y axis only. I can stand him on his head and see only his feet! I wonder if it is because I don't know how to add him to my library and I am just importing him. Other A:M characters are working OK Dennis says it is working fine for him. I'm on a G5 iMac Lori Hiatt Sig_frog_test.mov
