All the ingame models and animations have been made with anim8or. I've been using it for years! A huge thanks again to Steve for creating such a simple and powerful tool at the same time!

Hello forum!
I am a long time anim8or user, and made several indie videogames using this great softare (Crazy Cows, Ballman Planets, Space Slice... check out www.codevikings.com)
I am about to finish my next videogame - obviously using anim8or, as always! but I am too tired right now to compose its OST.
Does anybody know of any webpage where I can listen and download music themes for possible videogames, contact the authors, pay them, etc?
I am *not* looking for royalty free music or free-to-download - I want the game to have its unique themes, so I am willing to pay the artists
Thanks!

I'd like to announce a new release from our indie company Code Vikings Entertainment!
 
Our new game is an award winning pacman-style 3D game. In fact, it won the RetroAccion2010 contest (a competition based in
programming a Pacman-style game in three weeks to celebrate its 30 anniversary).


Finally, Ballman Planets was programmed in two weeks without using any third-party software (which means the 3D engine, AI engine, Physics, file system... is fully written by us). And, as always, we use anim8or to setup the models and animations

In Ballman Planets there are balls, power ups and ghosts... each of them with different characteristics and behaviour - check out the lovely blind green-ghost! -, but also there are many different planets and cool springs that allow you to jump from one planet to another! Also, the game features the option to be viewed in 3D anaglyph mode (with red-cyan glasses). Uh, and it's freeware.
 
In a near future we'll upload some updates with new planets and more features.
 
Our webpage is: www.codevikings.com where you can freely download the game

I also attach some ingame images.

Hello, we are an independent videogame studio. We develop professional freeware, non-commercial games and we are looking for collaborators for our next project.

Our webpage is www.codevikings.com, where you can check out our latest game, called 'Crazy Cows - Attack Of The Horny Big Breasted Mammals'.

Our next release is going to be a third-person shooter, and we need someone able to setup and animate multiple characters with anim8or.

Unfortunately, there is no money-reward (as I said, our games are non-commercial), but you will have the chance to be member of one of the best indie studios in the scene, and see your work in a videogame!

Anyone interested, please contact me at joan@codevikings.com
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to generate LOD meshes from an original an8 file.
Thanks!

Hello,
I am manually exporting an anim8or sequence frame by frame to multiple 3ds files.
However, I have discovered that in the generated .3ds files there are some meshes that have been exported with weird angles! (By the way, I have noticed that the 3ds exporter performs a 'mirror' onto the original angles, but it is not such a problem for me)
Is this a known bug? Is there any workaround out there?
Take a look at the image to understand what I am saying.
Thanks in advance

Note: All the bones are correctly measured (by that I mean that the sequence is correctly done

Hello everybody,
here goes a question:
- I am doing a loop animation (let's say a walk with 30 frames) so I start by putting the bones correctly in the initial frame (without checking the 'key' button).
- I select frame 10 for example, push the 'key' button, move some bones and create a key frame.
- I go on until I reach last frame, that is in fact the one I want to match with the first frame, but as I have changed previous frames, this one has been also bone-moved . So, to match this last one, I have to move again all the bones...
My question is, is there a way to 'lock' the bones on the last frames for a looped animation?
Thanks,
J
