Steve, Thanks anyways! Guess I'll have to wait for the good stuff after school. Why is everything great after school? Can't wait to hear about the results from the customers. -ANDREW
#Version 3 New features!
Message #4250
Steve, WOWSERS! Looks great, but I thought the $100 upgrade was a lot for A:M 2.0 (had a coupon for A:M when I got Playmation 1.47 at SIGGRAPH ''93). Now it's going to be $200! You guys wouldn't happen to have a student discount would you? Please, Please, Please !…
Steve, I'm sure I read it in the "Inside Track" of PC Mag a couple of issues ago, but maybe they got their facts mixed-up. I'm glad to hear that Hash is Microstuff free!!! Have you talked to Jenee about the file upload situation? I haven't tried to upload anything…
Steve, Glad to hear that Hash and Microsoft are on seperate paths. Just a curious question: I read in PC Mag that Microsoft had purchased the right to Hash's spline based coding. Is that correct? As for allowing more freedom in uploading, read message #4154. -ANDREW
Hartmut, Place both the camera and the camera target on the same path. Next change the target channel so that the target is about a frame ahead of the camera itself. I did this myself so that I could follow a spaceship through an asteriod field. I had the spaceship,…
TO: ALL!!! Jenee, the person responsible for moving our pics to other forums, sent a letter to me in response to a question about the reason for the constant moving. His response stated that the rules of CIS have been recently changed. We can now upload our pics to the…
Mike, Glad you liked the pic! I had a lot of problems with the glass at first, but asked Steve for his advice. With his help I decided on these settings which worked very nicely: color = black Ambience = 20 Trans = 95 Mirror = 0 Spec = 100…
Steve, IN NO WAY DO I WANT TO RUN OFF! I maybe wasn't clear enough, but I meant that if we can't upload our beautiful pics here then we do need some place. The Graphx User forum seems to be a good place to do this in. Hopefully we can…
Mike, I tried to upload a pic here, but it was moved to the GraphDev forum :-(, DANG! If you want to check it out it is "PRFTAB.JPG". Maybe not up to your standards, but I'm working on it . Let me know what you think. Right now I'm working…
Mike, Oh, I didn't check the user ID . I'm surprised they let you upload the art gallery to this forum. I tried in the recent past to upload some personally done and orginal stuff, but it was moved. I'll try again. Hope you don't mind if I ask if…
Hey! I just noticed that someone uploaded a new pic of an art gallery. Is this by some one at Hash, or a lucky fellow who got through? Hope the latter! If the latter is true, I'll be trying soon! -ANDREW
Grady, Sounds good for a temporary solution. Is there any place that Hash Inc. (hope they're reading this!) might want to recommend and maybe direct others too in the future?
Hash, Your response was VERY enlightening!!!!!! But, I have some confusion about the whole mess now too. First to clear up the confusion. *Are the forum sysops hired by Hash or CIS? *Do the sysops of this forum answer questions about Hash products or only control the file uploading? *What…
Mike, >>Thanks for the compliment; those models were a lot of work, although much eaiser than the TIEs. I realize that I am overdoing the backgrounds, but I want to show others that there is more that can be done in a space background than some starfield, a planet or…
#A:M Promotion for FREE!!
Message #3735
Hash, I've tried, and other have too, to upload many pics and animations to this forum, but only to have them "moved" to other forums. I STRONGLY believe you are doing a great diservice to your exposure here on CIS. Many of the pics are very well done (no, not…
Mike, WOW!!!! Truly impressive stuff! This is some of the best work I've seen done with A:M. I'm once again completely fired up about 3D modelling! And anyone who says A:M sucks, too difficult to use, or is incapable of making non-plastic looking objects hasn't seen what a "good" artist…
Thanks! -ANDREW
Steve, The glass is double walled. I did try a single wall using the glass.mat, but had similar problems. Could you be give me a example of correct transparency and refraction values. Thanks. -ANDREW PS- I know it can be done now that I've seen the martini glasses. Great pic!
Thanks a TON!!! -ANDREW
I could use the upgrade too Steve! -Andrew Palanos
#Problems with glass
Message #3015
I have already gotten the first upgrade to Animation Master to fix the problems with rendering glass-like objects. Now I seem to have another problem. I recently uploaded a files called FLOWRS.GIF. The vase is pure white with a high transparency, a refraction of 15, and a mirror of 10.…
