Need help to install on the c:/ drive

[Jentham2000]

Hi Everyone,

 

I just recieved my software today.

 

I installed it on my c:/ drive. The problem is that each time I start the program, it asks the disk to be loaded.

 

I thought I saw this earlier, but I can't seem to find it when I searched.

 

Thanks for your help...

 

 

Regards, Bob

You need to insert your CD in your cd-rom-drive to start Animation:MAster... after that you can take it out again, but till it is loaded, you need to put the cd in... it is the copyright-protection of A:M

That may not be completely clear - you need to insert the A:M disc EVERY TIME. And it doesn't load the entire contents of the disc into your computer (tutorials, some libraries I think), so it's best to just leave the disc in while you're using A:M.

 

Software piracy has become so rampant that this is necessary to protect A:M. It also has a benefit for the user, in that the software can't become corrupted. If a glitch delvelops, simply restarting almost always fixes the problem.

 

By the time you read this, you will have become thoroughly confused. Happens to everybody. Spend some time with the Project Work Space. Note that things tend to appear twice. At the top of the PWS are the things you're working with - lights, cameras, actors etc - as they are in themselves. At the bottom are (usually) the same things as they function in a choreography. This will become clearer as you work. Clicking on these items in the PWS is the same as selecting them in the modelling/action/choreography window.

 

Follow The Art Of Animation:Master exercises, every mouse click. You have to walk before you run, and it may seem like you're crawling before you walk, but you'll have real animations faster than you would have in any other program.
