There have been quite a few characters posted to the A:M Community over the years but many are currently missing in action. Most are still available for those willing to launch a thorough search. But I think we can collect a few more here. If nothing else it is through the study of these models that we learn to model, rig and animate our own characters. A few of the characters that come immediately to mind are those previously collected via the A:M CD as well as those used in Animation Bootcamp, etc. Of course any Character used in TaoA:M or designed for use by beginners and those featuring cutting edge technology such as Squetchy Sam and updates and variati…

I started back working on one of my people models and wondered if others want to contribute to this pretty massive project. I think many of the users here can benefit having access to good human models with all kinds of accessories, clothing etc. (something along the lines like poser has but better). So far I redid this character and plan on using the tsm2 unless someone has a better idea. If I can keep the base figures cp count down low and bare minimum, I think users can modify the character somewhat easily to make new characters. Tips, suggestions, comments etc would be really really helpful.

Hey everyone, I saw a while ago where some A:Mers had done some cool stuff with Lego people. Is there an AM version of a basic lego man available from anyone here on the forum. I'm thinking of doing a basic experiment but the obj versions of imported Lego figures are a huge mess spline wise. Thanks for any help, William

I've finished working on the Lost In Space B9 Robot. I would like to send Thank You to robcat for providing me with his concertina model in helping me figure out how to rig the robot's arms. And thank you to all who comment and help me through the modelling process of this robot. I am including a project file, separate model, two action files and a single decal that was used in the model. Pretty much everything is rigged, lights, arms, claws, whirly gigs and so on. Lots of pose sliders to help make things a bit easier for you. The pose slider for retracting the arms doesn't work properly all the time. Not sure why. Also, I don't have any rigging for the treads…

Hey, I upgraded the Generic Man I was planning to submit for the additional 2005 CD. I didn't make it to the CD, but you can get it here in a zip file (12.5MB). It has a Phoneme chart and a text document explaining some info about what to do with him. ::::::::::::: The Text messege reads: GENMAN: Built in Animation:Master v-11.1d ----------------------- Modeling: I modeled him to be as small in patches as I could, but still trying to maintain some musculature and definition. Most heavy patches are in the head and hands. ---------------------- Decaling: I provided photoshop documents with layers and alpha so that you can just start painting him w…

I found a print of the pink panther sizes and decided to make the challenge of animating them. Not a big thing, probably a lot of small errors like five fingers or twisted patches. Just for fun! The models come from AMv16. pinkpanther_models.zip

I did an animation using A:M about a decade ago, maybe longer. I had derived a robot character from a stock mannequin model included with A:M at the time (I believe it was called "mannequin"). Now, someone who saw my old animation is interested in me doing another one with the same character. Meanwhile, the machine all that work was on had a disk crash around 2000, and I don't have a copy of my robot model. Can anyone help me locate a copy of the mannequin model? It also came with a walk cycle action, but I'm not sure that will be portable into the latest A:M. The Hash guys have made a lot of great changes to the product in the meantime. Being able to import …

Free to a good home: 1 Robot Caution- This robot is NOT 3 Laws compliant! 1. This robot is likely to injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. This robot couldn't care less about orders given to it by human beings, even if such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. This robot will protect its own existence and really doesn't give a crap about anyone elses needs. As you can see, some training may be required to housebreak him. No claims of great rigging or decals are made. Use of this model is unlimited but it would be nice to credit me for the Model and Ashley Wood for the inspiration. There is…

For no good reason I was suddenly taken with the urge to model a Smurf tonight. Not a particularly elaborate model and it isn't rigged, but thought someone might like having it...

I recently found that two of my models will not open in v18h, indeed attempting to do so will always crash v18h! However all other versions of A:M are quite happy to load them which seems strange to me. So I thought I would post them here (in the attached .zip file) and maybe others would like to see if they can load them in v18h and maybe determine if there is something about v18h that needs reporting to Steffen. Also as this is the time for giving do feel free to keep and use the models in your own work as you wish. The bass models I re-splined and developed them from are both on the Extras DVD. A model just called "Woman" I think for Niki and "Meta Bean" for the snail.…

A while back (August 2007 actually) I entered the Anything Goes Image Contest. As usual, my grandios idea didn't quite pan out. I was loking at the character and thought I might play around with it. The inspiration was from Ashley Woods robot paintings and Robots vs Zombies comics. I just wanted to share what I am up to lately, I hope you find it of interest: EDIT: Oop's - posted *.BMP files instead of *.JPG....bitmaps too huge! Added link to half a** contest image.Retrobots - Anyting Goes Added: All the Robot parts can be downloaded HERE.

Jack (of JackDrama fame) gratiously offered to share his model of a woman in Roger Reynolds's 'Phillies Diner' topic. He mentioned something about rendering wireframes of final modifications and such and rather than clutter Roger's topic here's is a shiny new topic for others to post their mods. Thanks for sharing Jack! Original Woman Model Exact same model with one Named Group added to give her a black skin tight suit ***Note: You'll want to Right Click and save these as 'Woman.mdl' or other appropriate name with the extension .mdl as they will otherwise open as text files in your browser.***

This is one of the character models I used for my class animation. (I didn't finish the film, but I still managed to get an A!) I rigged him myself, from scratch. It's a simple rig, but it gets the job done. He's ready to work with the dopesheet. He could use another one or two pose sliders for the eyebrows, and maybe some smartskin on the fingers, but that's about it. Feel free to do whatever you want with him, customize him to your heart's content. Flynn.mdl

Hi all I've been experimenting with the new bones and I thought I'd show the result. In the image I've boned the arm using a simple bicep forearm hand and fingers setup. There are no fan bones or smartskinning but I adjusted the falloff using the new bones. It took about 10 minutes to setup the arm, and most of the mistakes can be put down to a very simple mesh, and the need to experiment about more around the joints. The only addition I could think of was that in some circumstances it would be nice to be able to set separate x and y falloffs, as well as z. The workaround would be to parent in more bones to change the shape of the area of influence I guess. Lots more e…

Hey Again, Hopefully these models will work. Tell me If They don't. The models are the dropship and the soldier alien. I embedded the models in the projects, but I also uploaded just the models also. Don't forget on the dropship model- the wings are moveable in the pose sliders. The dropship has the landing gear and platform in the pose sliders also. The turret on the front has bones. Ther are bones for the wings just in case you need to mess with something on the model. The alien has only one pose slider- the second mouth. The model has the 2001 skelton, but you will need to make your own walk with alien because of the tail which also has bones on it. AL…

Here's a project that contains all the various actors from the 1998 A:M CD. Note: For one reason or other many of these were not deemed appropriate for updating so they never made their way to the inaugural Extra CD. As these are mostly for inspiration and nostalgia decals and materials are not included but can be uploaded if requested. Although there are 37 characters (two Thoms, etc.) they weigh in at less than 9MB in the embedded file. If you want to save the models our separately just Right click on the model in the Project Workspace and Save As, as the models are embedded in the Project.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! My friend Joey who has a Tex-Mex band called Xplozivo needed a quick poster, so I dug into my archives and saw my old cartooney skull model, so I slapped a material on it and some quick 3D text and away I went! The design is a 'cop' off a wonderful comic artist, Shawn Dickinson- who does great Weirdos, pinups, surfer art and monsters. His art I greatly enjoy. https://www.facebook.com/shawn.dickinson.12?fref=ts The Chromium material is included too, and is very handy to have around for quick metallic effects. Also, the 'crack in the head' employs a boolean, so anyone wanting to learn how bools work- take a look. ENJOY SKULL_SD.mdl Chromi…

Since Rodney posted the 1998 Actors at: https://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46023 , I looked into an old A:M screencapture and found out there was another folder, which included "Anime" actors, and was seperate from the "Actors" folder itself. At first I wanted to use the "Seira" model, but later I thought there might be other A:M users, who are interested in Japanese animation and might like to use the other anime models too (if someone would like to upload them). And again, as they'll be mostly for inspiration and nostalgia decals and materials will not included, they can be uploaded if requested. Thanks!

Next up is the Goof and his race car. It's interesting that recently I was thinking about how characters and props, or several characters, might work well as part of the same model. This is an example of that approach. I believe the author(s) of the project were some of the folks that worked for Saffire/Avalanche. Assuming that is the case I'd say... no wonder they ended up at Disney. Drive.zip

a few years ago when i made this model we head a pretty long discussion about wether or not it´s ok to post something like this here on the forum. please, i don´t want to have this discussion again, i just think it´s a funny model and maybe someone might have a use for it. i don´t use it anymore, i have a girlfriend now i actually made this back then for a client, but the company doesn´t exist anymore. fully textured and rigged, i believe it uses the 2001 rig. if you´re offended by this, please just ignore this post. sexdoll.zip

I wanted a generic character to animate with, something similar to the ones I've seen elsewhere. So I spent the weekend modeling and rigging this guy, who, for lack of a better name, I'm calling Bob: I tried for something generic enough to be universal, but detailed enough to have character. His eyes can blink, there's a bone to control his "eyebrows", and his mitten/flipper hands have two finger controls and a thumb to give him some simple dexterity and expressiveness. (Cheez Curlz not included.) He has pretty much the same rig that's in my Dungeoneer model, but I want to try to add some more features and functionality to it, like IK arms that switch on a…

Now this is an interesting model... rigging especially. It might even be the precursor to Joe Williamson's famous model with dynamic jigglings. The model looks like it could have been used as a starting point. In the rigging/pose sliders there are poses for breathing and oppai movement ('breasts' in Japanese). This is the first instance of anime eye rigging I've investigated and the eye closing and mouth smile sliders... the facial rigging... is pretty neat! I need to look further into how all this was done. I don't have much info on the model or creator. The file says it was created by Hasagawa Junnji. It was created in the v8.5 timeframe and if I can bru…

I'm currently working on a new short film and I was searching a few 3D car models that matched the style I'm going for and one of the models I wanted to use was included only in some older versions of Animation: Master (up to version 5 or 6, I guess).

Ok, here we go! This is my amateur recreation of ReelFX Murray seen in the Barney show around y2k. I worked on top of the KeeKat bones and fur for inspiration as the same artist (William Young?) may have worked on Murray. All the splines are my own hand (using a Kensington Expert Mouse) and the plug is now a ps/2 mouse port instead of the generic magic one from the show. A:M forum users may use this model any way they like. Just credit me, Yopachi. I'm most active on youtube.com/yopachi I should have a video about it in the near future.

There was a little imperfections in its splines then I decided to do a large improve on its splinage today. when the model was ready I started to use the 13s_posable_squetch_rig_installations_03_12_2008 but I had no success maybe by the lack of a more detailed tutorial showingo how / when to assign bones so I decided to put the model at your disposal so that you can rig it. basicman.zip
