they are finicky machines invented to torture us.

that is certainly a possibility. when i was trying to print the central ac had been running nonstop so it was fairly dry. I suspect the feeder tub into the hot end has melted a bit ans is resticting the filimant flow. So I have to take that apart

gimp and animated gifs felt like more work than it was worth. As a temporary fix I left the black background in place, since this is a wip for a web app landing page. The product demos I can render off as an avi and since the demo itself is against a black background it wont matter.

very very nice. Makes me sort of want to do another contest!

i've been curious to know if resin printing is less finicky than pla. I've been having a devil of a time with my gantry pla printer to not break a print half way thru and am at the point of having to breaky the hot end down to fix the issue. If resin is a bit less labor intensive to print I just might sell off my pla printer

Found the camera settings, but also found that the lens flare on a transparant background gets lost....

Would there be an easy path to render this with a transparant background to be used as a gif I wonder?

works like a charm flare_test.avi

Robert, thanks for the tips. I knew if I came out to the forum, the A:M AI would kick in and provide a solution, When the demo reel is done I will share it here

here's a quick render so far and the project file logo.avi demo1.prj

Well I'm back again. I've been coding like a mad man on my startup company and am finally on the downslope side of development. So now it is time to start turning my attention to promotion. For that I am working on a quick video meant to be a teaser of the company and product. The final scene is the logo (attached) which of course was modeled in AM. What I envisioned is the model on a black background, say 2 seconds, ending with a lens flare, or some sort of flash from the top right edge of the sun. I tried with simply lights, and couldn't get what I was looking for. Anyone have ideas on how to pull this off? solus_logo.mdl

I dusted off A:M the other day just to scratch an itch to create, and 48 hours later I'm still here. Then I notice on the forum a contest happened when I wasn't looking! The entries are amzing, and congratulations to the winners. You all are amazing artists, and I am humbled be your talents.

What happens if that flower resists being pulled up? What self respecting daisy gives up that easily i ask?

Tell ta what..I will put something more visual together. I have to fly to LA Monday and need something to entertain myself during the flight

Robert..it's good to be back. Our product is best described as a data integrity platform. One application that designs a data lake, defines cleansing and mastering, profiles and discovers a source system, utilizes Ai models to map source to target..then automates the etl process. Think Informatica but one application instead of half a dozen which the competition needs. It's a mouthful, which why it is challenging to describe in digestible chunks. VCs give us 3 minutes to pitch an idea...
