first question

[TheSpleen]

Ok to check out the program I bought a subscription.

First thing I tried to do was add some actions I got off eggdrops and add them to my library but program does not seem to recognize them.

did I do something wrong or is subscription limited to only 3 actions?

I put them in the correct folder.

also if I create my own actions can I save that to actions?

please be kind as this is my first opening of the program and my first questions.

forgive me if I seem stupid at the moment.

I will get better.

Welcome to A:M!

 

Definitely do all the tuts in "The Art of A:M". That will answer many questions you will have.

 

And then if your stuck, ask here.

I plan to.

Just thought I could find out my actions question first.

Sorry.

You can also download a 160MB data file full of the models that you need for The Art of Animation:Master:

 

Data file here: ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/misc/data.zip

 

The Art of Animation:Master here: http://www.hash.com/2007web/reference.htm

 

The data file has actions in it, which you use in the second TAoA:M exercise. The subscription A:M is not limited in ANY way!

 

As to your library problem, just putting it into a folder will not put it into the A:M library. The A:M library accesses a .lbr file which lists the library files. like actions and models, in it. Try opening A:M, opening an explorer window that shows the actions, and drag each action onto the relevent section of the A:M library displayed in the Project Workspace.

That question doesn't make any sense to me. But you can save an action externally.....if that's what you're asking. Have fun with AM!

thanks! The drag and drop seems to have worked

I am saying if I make a good walk cycle, is it possible to add it to my actions library?
