Vance Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I did an animation using A:M about a decade ago, maybe longer. I had derived a robot character from a stock mannequin model included with A:M at the time (I believe it was called "mannequin"). Now, someone who saw my old animation is interested in me doing another one with the same character. Meanwhile, the machine all that work was on had a disk crash around 2000, and I don't have a copy of my robot model. Can anyone help me locate a copy of the mannequin model? It also came with a walk cycle action, but I'm not sure that will be portable into the latest A:M. The Hash guys have made a lot of great changes to the product in the meantime. Being able to import just the model would be great. -Vance Quote
KenH Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I don't recall that model. It must've only been pre-2000 right? If it's on the 2000 cd, then I have it I guess. Quote
Vance Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 It is definitely pre-2000. I've still got my 2000 and 2001 CDs and it is not on either of them. Thanks for checking, though. -Vance Quote
MSFlynn Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 It's not the '98 CD - that's as far back as I can find. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 3, 2007 Hash Fellow Posted April 3, 2007 Was it on the CD that had "Why does the Wind Blow" characters on the label? That was around V3. I have one of those floating around. Quote
johnl3d Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 do you have a image ..might trigger the model you are looking for Quote
Admin Rodney Posted April 3, 2007 Admin Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) I think I know the model you are talking of and the last time I saw it I believe it was at Animation Pitstop. I'll try to root it out for you but I suspect it is on the Extra DVD. Bingo! The file is named Maquette and it was created by the very talented Darrin Mossor. On the Extra DVD you can find it at: \ExtrasData\Unsorted\PitStop\maquette If this isn't it... please advise. maquette.zip Edited April 3, 2007 by Rodney Quote
Vance Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 Thanks for finding Maquette, but this is not the model I'm looking for. The model I'm looking for I believe is called Mannequin, did originally come with A:M, and it is a female form without hair. The original model was, as I recall, a dark brown color and a cloth-looking texture with some seamstress markings (dotted line stitching around the waist), but I changed the material to something more like chrome. Below is a picture of the model adapted as a robot. -Vance Quote
MMZ_TimeLord Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I don't seem to have it on my hard drive, but I do have ALL the subscription CDs back to 1998 or 1999 I think. I'll take a look when I get home and see if I can find it for you. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted April 3, 2007 Admin Posted April 3, 2007 I don't seem to recall that one but if Jody can't find it I'll dig through the old A:M CDs as well. Good luck and sorry for the error... I thought that might be too simplistic for what you were talking about. Quote
MMZ_TimeLord Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Okay, here's the skinny... I have every Hash A:M CD produced since 1996 except for 2001 and 2005. None of the CDs I have including the Extras CD Volume One have the model by the name of "Mannequin" on them, unless it's contained in a project. I think you are looking for a prop of a sewing mannequin, but I could not locate it. Do you know when your original video was produced? This would give me some guide as to what CD to search for the model. (I mean search inside every project, etc.) Quote
MattWBradbury Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 There are newer female models, even with IK. Just take off their hair and make their skin 100% reflective. You should get roughly the same look. I remember making the standard male character 100% reflective and walking him through the 70's style house. It was awesome because before that, all I was dealing with was basic, basic CAD rendering which was basically 50% ambiance and shadows. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted March 2, 2014 Admin Posted March 2, 2014 Well, it only took 7 years but here (I believe) is the Mannequin character you were looking for Vance: (Martin said Tim Elston created him but this file has Justin Barrett's name embedded in it... both are equally famous as far as I'm concerned) Okay... and it is a female form without hair. Perhaps these aren't the droids you are looking for. Sorry... hopefully it won't take another 7 years to find her. This model is called 'mannequin' however. Mannequin.prj Quote
