Have been working with NickE,s tread script


.I create a morph to control the tread movement, in scene mode I go to the morph in the timeline click on the applicable morph which gives me the key value editor turn on expression, click edit then add the script, I exit the editor and the treads move as predicted.


I then save the scene. However, when i return again at a later point. the script is no longer in the expression editor it has not saved it. this happens with most of the newer beta versions from v1.00 to build 1314


Is this a bug??? Any ideas greatly appreciated

Steve:
Anim8or is beginning to annoy me at the moment, especially when I am trying to create a scene, as the Copy/Paste is not enabled (never has been  and I do not know if was intentional), but I am forced to load individual objects with the build object command


Now this is fine for static objects that I do not intend to animate as I can group most of these elements in Object mode  and then import them all at once. However, if I am using a number of objects that need to be animated I am forced to load these seperately and here is where the problem begins.


I have to rescale them to fit with the uniform scale tool which is haphazard as there is no function to precisely tweak the scaled dimensions. So some objects are not uniform scaled, some look to big or slightly smaller than others.


I asking that the Object/paste command in scene mode is implemented asap, as well as a precise way to amend the scaling in scene mode, also the ability to tweak locations of objects ( there is the abilty to do this in object mode with the cursor keys but in scene mode there is no fine tuning as the cursor keys control the frame movement. Why are the Function keys not used  F1 thru F12 perhaps these could be utilised?

Have the last six issues of Dotan8 Anim8or Magazine that I used to edit ( Perhaps I may start again !!)

Just started applying materials to one of my models using V1.0Beta2  But cannot get it to work, however  V1.0 Beta 1 Does. Bug??  

Locomotive been working on today

Looking to doing some major anim8ing with Anim8or, but I am somewhat hesitant to do any thing at the moment, mainly because of Anim8ors major inability to cast correct shadows with any transparency maps.

I know this has been discussed and pointed out before, but is it not time that this discrepancy was corrected as soon as possible.


It does not work with ART, Scanline shows the same shadow on a reduced basis and OpenGL is not worth using as it shows no shadows at all. see images below:
