Sharky Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Hi Mr. Steve Anzovin! It's great! I'm waiting the contest! If somebody has not TSM 2, then What is another entry possibility? Regards, Sharky Quote
Admin Rodney Posted October 27, 2004 Admin Posted October 27, 2004 (edited) Sharky, If somebody has not TSM 2, then What is another entry possibility? Sharky, I can't speak for Anzovin but I think it's safe to say that this contest is for owners of TSM2. If you want to win... you've got to own the plugin. Steve is an Anzovin and he says: ANIMATION PARAMETERS: --Must be created using character(s) rigged with TSM2 (NOT TSM1). You will have to show your rig construction. Best, -Rodney *Edit. I was wrong. You DO NOT have to own TSM2 to enter the contest. You just need to use a model that has been rigged with TSM2. Edited October 30, 2004 by Rodney Quote
dingo Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Is the contest only for owners of TSM2? Can you use a TSM2 rigged model, that someone else rigged? Quote
Bill_Y Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Lets clear up some confusion! It says you must use a TSM2 rigged character. --Must be created using character(s) rigged with TSM2 (NOT TSM1). You will have to show your rig construction. --You CAN use the sample characters included with TSM2 The TSM2 rigged centaur is available for download from the TSM2 web page on our store site. Also we're going to be posting a few more characters from the CD soon so that other A:M users can try out the rigs and do some animations as well. So to answer the question of do you need to own TSM2 for the contest? The answer is no you don't, but you do have to use a TSM2 rigged character. -Bill Y. Quote
Bill_Y Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Is the contest only for owners of TSM2? No. Can you use a TSM2 rigged model, that someone else rigged? Yes. Quote
anzovin Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Yes, we'll have some more free TSM2 rigs up later today for download. The rigged centaur is now at: http://lib1.store.vip.sc5.yahoo.com/lib/ra...pes/centaur.zip Meantime, for the duration of the contest, we've dropped the price of the TSM2 upgrade: http://www.rafhashvideotapes.com/prtsforwiup.html The TSM2 manual is at: http://www.anzovin.com/TSM2manual/ Steve Anzovin Studio Quote
Sharky Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Does it available a bipedal character for the contest? or... Should I ask a rigged bipedal character with TSM2? Cheers, Sharky Quote
anzovin Posted October 29, 2004 Author Posted October 29, 2004 This one's especially for you, Sharky, Three fully rigged free models for TSM2 are now available at http://www.rafhashvideotapes.com/lib/rafha.../characters.zip There is a biped in there, although he has four arms. You can use any of these models in the animation contest. --Steve Anzovin Studio Quote

You can find free rigged TSM2 models to use at: http://www.rafhashvideotapes.com/lib/rafha.../characters.zip Have fun! Steve Anzovin Studio Quote
Robert Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 When must I post it from Germany?? Have some problems with time delay Quote
anzovin Posted November 23, 2004 Author Posted November 23, 2004 Any entry that shows up on Friday by, say, 7 am US Eastern Standard Time, about the time I first go online in the morning, will be considered. That should cover most of Europe. Steve Anzovin Studio Quote
SteelShark Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Well, dang nab it! Missed this thread earlier and I just bought the program! Any chance you will have a monthly contest, say with the winner getting one CD? I can only hope for another all CD contest in the near future... Quote
