Anim8or Community

What's really strange is getting newer versions to run under the older Win XP; I see it displayed in the task manager, but it never opens up the application itself like 0.98 normally does. I hope the issue can be resolved as I plan on using XP until I get a newer PC.

I tried running 1118 on an XP OS, but the the program never actually runs? Just thought I'd inquire. Leroy.

Where did you save it? Do a system search with something like an8 as a keyword; windows should find it.

I have version 2.5 but it lacks animation support. Nice modeler though. Leroy.

In many ways the differences between simple and complicated accurately describe Anim8or verses Blender. It also depends on your modeling needs. Anim8or, was designed to be user friendly and for the general masses. Blender, though a very advanced modeler requires a major learning curve even with recent changes to try to make it more user friendly, but it has a long ways to go in terms of wide spread use by many people that attempt to use it and spend far to much time just learning it's odd UI.

My recommendation would be to use it in conjunction with Anim8or rather then a replacement of it. Anim8or rocks! Blender well meh? Leroy.

I'm pretty sure this has been requested before, but it would be nice to have animation support added for a third party model export format of curret usage such as 3DS or some other common interchange format. This is the primary reason why I don't use Anim8or for many modeling projects. I've studied the layout of the native Anim8or model format and can't help wonder why the animation information can't somehow be translated in to a binary or text based format. Will this issue ever be doable? Thanks, Leroy.

Very cool! Thanks Raxx. Leroy
