Moel Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 hi! just recently opened up A:M again and coninued working on a model. but i've got a problem: in the birds eye view, when i try to "turn" around the object, it just disappears out of my sight, because the center is probably way off there... so my extremely noob question: how can i center the center point? maybe while i'm at it another question: theres been a lot of talking going on in the german A:M forum as well as on other boards about A:M being discontinued. i'm still working on v14 but i wanted to upgrade, but i'm somewhat concerned about the future of my favourite animation package... thank you very much! cheers!

Fuchur Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Did you select a point? If not, do that first... the rotation-pivot of the viewport will always be the selection or selection-pivot. The rotation-point of a model-window is by default its 0/0/0-Position. To position it, go to bones-mode, select the root-bone (bone at the highest hierachie-level), press the CTRL-Button and hold it and than move it around. A rotation-point of a group can be move in translate-mode. (So not the default mode but the real translate mode. There you can find the pivot-point and move it around. You can although have a look at the model-bone of the model. Go to Bones-Mode, click into an empty area. You should now see a black bone which is the model-bone. *Fuchur* Quote

As Fuchur said, if you select one cp then use the "T" to turn he vew, it rotates around the selected cp(s). A:M isn't being discontinued as far as I know. They've changed the software upgrade policy. Check this site out for all the details. http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=31389 Basically they switched over to a yearly subscription to use the software. It's $40.00 cheaper ($49.99) but you basically rent the software anually. You can still get the traditional update but now it will cost $299.00. Quote
HomeSlice Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 I haven't heard anything from Martin or the Hash crew about AM being discontinued. Quote
