*A:M User* Shelton Posted October 13, 2013 *A:M User* Posted October 13, 2013 I received a email / blog from Martin. Very interesting as he was thinking about the software and all the folks he met. Quote
Simon Edmondson Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 [ Sunday October 13 Hash Nostalgia Hello Hashers; The good thing about time passing is that good memories remain. Recently, I was reminiscing about all the great art made by my software over the years, and decided to collect everything I have gathered since the mid-80s, post some, and write what I remember was happening at the time. As a charter member of the A:M community, I thought you might be interested too. Click the links below for a good muse: http://www.martinhash.com/forums/viewtopic...?f=31&t=702 http://www.martinhash.com/forums/viewtopic...?f=31&t=703 http://www.martinhash.com/forums/viewtopic...?f=31&t=355 BTW, A:M is still being maintained & sold online and at comicons. Enjoy, Martin Hash p.s. If you're wondering what I'm doing now, click the following link: http://www.martinhash.com/rmyn/ unsubscribe Quote
largento Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I got this, too, but had stumbled across the videos a week or two ago on YouTube and had fun watching them. Was great to see the Chicory n Coffee short again. A really great piece of work. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted October 13, 2013 Admin Posted October 13, 2013 Love the 'comic book' manual. Loveit.Loveit.Loveit. http://www.martinhash.com/forums/viewtopic...&t=355#p887 Added: I note a minor discrepancy/transposition in Martin's documentation/attribution of rendering. The image attributed to Rod Altschul (here) was created by the equally talented Stian Ervik Wahlvig. Rod's renderings can be found on Martin's forum in a number of places including here. Quote
Mechadelphia Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I received a email / blog from Martin. Very interesting as he was thinking about the software and all the folks he met. I found that the Renaissance Myn concept that he wrote about to be very interesting (It has nothing to do with A:M or animation). Quote
Fuchur Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Got these too. Nice that he sometimes still thinks about us from time to time. See you *Fuchur* Quote
jakerupert Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 How time is running....almost 10 years passed by since..... As Martin states: His name stands on the company and he was responsible. He surely made many mistakes as well, amongst them were his intransperency. Many very talented people simply lost their trust and so they left. The fact that the promise of the one man, one movie philosophy never could be realised with A:M by one artist up to now was another part. Nevertheless aside from these much too high expectations A:M is still a very powerfull tool thats great fun to use. Its a pity, that some greater visions for its future seem to be lacking at the moment. Edit:As for visions, i know, its probably not really possible right now, but as some one stated on another forum. An app like what zbrush is for sculptmodeling would do the same just for animation is missing. Alembic could transfer these hash animations into the other apps maybe. Kind of competitor for mixamo or motionbuilder.... Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 14, 2013 Hash Fellow Posted October 14, 2013 It's good to hear Martin is finding interesting things to do. Quote
