Anim8or Community

Try using the view all option to open 4 separate views as this can help view things from several different viewpoints. This helps you organize things in the work space. I've experienced the same thing at times when trying to line up multiple objects in Anim8or.

That would be intense indeed. Perhaps VRML, X3D, or one of the other web enabled formats would make using something like 3D Exploration to convert Anim8or animated models to some other model formats that support animation? Not really sure if something like this is even doable? Even non animated would be useful as well.

I've seen this issue in other modeling software as well like Caligari's Truespace. The issue appears to be related to illumination levels getting reset some how to zero. In TS I just adjust the luminance levels up again to make the texture show up when it appears black in the workspace. Try to determine if they're  actually missing or something else may be going on.

Most excellent Raxx. Let me the first to say thank you. This is indeed a very cool set of UV mapping tools. Leroy.

Most excellent Raxx. Many thanks Leroy. I've been posting the XSI work you've done on several other modeling forums including my own forum blog. I've been working with another script writer named Tsvetan that has created an XSI importer for G/Max and I would imagine that modelers can import XSI models into GMAX to animate and texture their models using the key frame editor and mapping tools. He also been trying to make an XSI exporter script but GMAX has some serious issues with exporting non game pack supported models due to licencing limitations.

Question: Does this script act as an XSI exporter or do I need to still use the original XSI exporter that you made a while back? Could you please post some simple instructions on it's application as far as preparing a hierarchal model for export to XSI? Thank you so very much for doing as much as you already have. Leroy.

Cool, I'll download and try working with this for both Direct X and Softimage XSI models with parent and child groups Raxx. Leroy.

I hear ya. Blender is a real mind bender for a lot of us. Caligari Truespace 7.6 is fairly easy on the brain along with Anim8or 3D. I mostly use the old modelside of TS 6.6 and love using both TS and Anim8or. Thanks Steve for creating a simply wonderful modeling application. Leroy.

You know what would be really cool is make a bottle and place the ship in it. Nice work though. Leroy.
