#Getting clients
Message #144019
I know just about all of you put in your two cents to my thread about a month ago, about how much one should charge for an animation, now I have another question :). I know this may be taboo to ask, but how does everyone go about attracting clients…

#Kurzweil K2000S V3

I know someone on this forum once told me they have a Kurzweil to make music and sound effects for animations. I just bought one and have a couple of questions. If that person reads this, I would appreciate greatly a reply. Thanks.
#PAR on two PC's
Message #141616
I know this is probably trivial, but how can I (if I can) run PAR from two separate PC's? I have Lantastic and I want to run PAR on one PC while the other is rendering to the PAR HD. Is it just a matter of the driver? Currently the…

Locks.. ctrl brk fixes
Message #141188
When I try to enter 3DS I get a 3 beeping sounds from my PC, then it sits there until I hit control/break, it then lets me in. The same type of thing happens when entering Animator Pro.. only I have to hit alt/escape, then ctrl/break to get into that,…

#Path rotation in Keyfrmr
Message #139950
Why can't I rotate my path in the Keyframer? I created an open path in the 2D Editor to be used as a path for a crayon that is spelling something out, went into the Keyframer and did Path/Get/Shape, brought in the path successfully, but it is facing up, I…
Thanks Kyle, I'll try that. James Franssen Imagination Station
Vapor
Message #139570
What is the quickest way to create a donut-shaped vapor emitting in a radial direction using Vapor IPAS? Kind of like a smoke ring. I've tried using the Emitter with Burst, but I am not sure what commands to give. I've tried lowering Rise % to 0, gave Time 60…

#Vapor.AXP
Message #138825
I am having a little trouble with Vapor from disk #6. I am working with "whorl". All I want to know is what does this error message mean.. Vapor.AXP No secondary Motion Data for object "AXP_Box000". Object "AXP_BOX000" may render incorrectly. I have everything set to what the tutorial asks…

#Whispy dust
Message #138337
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can effectively create the look of a book landing on a dusty table, thereby creating a quick inverted roll of dust moving away from the book from all sides? I have disk 2, 6, and 7 of the IPAS plug-ins, so…
Blob
Message #136749
Does anyone know how well the Blob IPAS works? I am very interested in getting it, but I would like to know a couple of things.. can the Blob modeler be morphed? Can it be used in conjunction with the latest release of 3DS's IK? I would like to create…
#Skinning a mouth
Message #136748
I have a head that I have created and am satisfied with for the moment, but I have one problem, I did not provide enough vertices to create an animated mouth. If I Boolean the head, I lose the skin application. How can I add vertices to the lower part…

#Question on skin
Message #133924
I enjoyed the file on the skinned boy. I am trying to do my own boy, but having a bit of difficulty. First, I can't seem to place a texture map I created on the boy's face. I use Surface, Mapping, Apply object, etc, but I can't get it to…
#PAR join
Message #133653
I have a few animations (25) that I have saved separately in the PAR as .ani files. I am going to want to join all of them together to form one animation. I noticed that in the latest PAR release, upon joining two animations, the first two animations are not…

#shaded mesh to work with
Message #132953
Is there a way to work with an object while it is rendered or shaded so that I can see exactly what I am doing when moving objects? I have over 120 single objects that need to be repositioned within a small area, and I can't tell what is what…
#Scatter question
Message #132933
I have an object that I am placing many individual objects upon randomly (fat hairs on a head). I have used scatter but it only allows 68 copies of the original object (hair), and I seem to be having a problem rotating the hair objects randomly (facing different directions while…
