Admin Rodney Posted January 29, 2009 Admin Posted January 29, 2009 there is no manual Boy are you in luck. Not only is there a manual for use with the websubscription... make sure you download the Technical Reference too! You can download the PDF files via the Hash Inc support page here: http://www.hash.com/2007web/reference.htm Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 29, 2009 Admin Posted January 29, 2009 The average A:M User has yet to discover the power of the dopesheet. In 2009 they will discover that and more. Most think dopesheets can only be used for lipsync. Yes, dopesheets... all that and more. Each Action can have its own Dopesheet so you can use multiple dopesheets. How many do you want? For optimized workflow add each sound file to the Action that contains the relevant dopesheet. Its doesn't have to be there but that should help keep things all nice, neat and orderly. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 29, 2009 Admin Posted January 29, 2009 Not enough you say? You are really into dopesheets? Lets see, now what else has A:M got? How about... MultipleSoundsandMultipleDopesheetsallinthesameAction!!! If'n you want. Quote

washbucket Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 The Manual is very in depth is their a book that you recomend thats has up to date excecises that I can do to help me get use to all the functions as I learn this powerful program? thanks Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 29, 2009 Admin Posted January 29, 2009 Don't confuse the Technical Reference with the manual. They are very different books. The exercises are found in the manual, "The Art of Animation:Master". If I recommend any other book before you complete the 20 exercises in the manual (The Art of Animation:Master) strange creatures appear out of the darkness and shrink my head down to nothingness. You can imagine I don't like to do that too often. Not only does it make modeling more awkward I find it much easier to animate when using my normal sized head. At any rate... Definitely work through the exercises in the manual first. There is nothing you'll do with Animation:Master that will be more important. Most of the exercises are quick and very relevant to what you'll be doing in your personal projects. Any difficulties you have will be easily addressed as other A:M Users know the exercises in it very well. It gives everyone a common range of experience. If you aren't into books as much as videos, you can also view the video versions of each exercise along with the manual. You'll find the video exercises ready for downloading here: http://www.hash.com/2007web/vm.htm You can see how much fun others have had with the manual here. Quote
