Anim8or Community

 DeepThought. Obviously i wasn't thinking.    Was just about to start a new an8 file with 'springy'. (WIP forum), and thought  'oh, I cant just import his bounce sequences, coz they use morphs in conjunction with bones.'  
 Yea, it took me a while to get the mixture of rig movement and 'morph strength' right, and it is a bit disheartening to have to sort them out again.  It would defineately be good if they came with the imported sequence(s).

 If having morphs available in sequence mode required too much code or something, i wonder if possibly the sequence could be exported from scene mode.?
 The sequence keys are there, and the morph keys would be there as well. Its not like exporting a whole scene, but rather, just the sequence keys AND morph keys. (and possibly figure).
 That would possibly be a good plan, and although you still couldn't access morphs in sequence mode, you could add them in scene mode and then save/export the modified sequence from there.
 Possibly, to re-use, you would have to import that sequence directly into scene mode, for the morph keys to be recognised. (because they wouldn't be recognised in sequence mode.
 The mind boggles....oooh,.......... i like it !!  

lol. Just like that. !  Thanks Raxx. Nice 1.

 Wasn't sure whether to post these  questions here or in the general forum. Hav done a search but not found the answers.
 2 questions. Is it possible to seperate anim8or to run on 2 monitors?. It would be nice to be able to have the timetrack showing on a seperate monitor. You could open it right up without cluttering the workspace, and not so much scrolling up and down to locate different objects, figures, bones etc..  I'm pretty sure that at this stage anim8or cannot be seperated onto 2 different monitors, but would anyone hav other workarounds to help with this 'overcrowding' of the screen?

 My second question, or maybe suggestion, concerns the side toolbar. I've got a few scripts, loaded and configured to show in the side toolbar. Problem is that i have too many showng, and cant access the ones at the bottom. Besides the obvious answer of 'have less scripts loaded', it would be cool if you could scroll the toolbar up and down, like you can with the materials bar.

 There maybe workarounds that someone might share here, but if not, then these are a couple of things that i feel could make anim8or even more user friendly in the future. 
 

Wacky blend. Nice link  .
 OkamiCage .That link is a good start. I'm still using characters built from that tut before it became a video.
 (my avatar for example). I found, when building from scratch, that starting with a sphere was a good simple way of getting pretty decent results. Using premade models is ok if you're happy doing that, but theres nothing quite like making your own from the beginning.
 Nice.  

I understand. Didn't realise about the gaming thing.  Good luck. I'm lost in your world.

Never thought of that one.  

Hello there Deepthought.Not sure how much of an advantage having morphs in seq mode would be. They could be used for tweaking of skinning issues, but i'm wondering was there any other reasons in particular that made you think of this.?
 Morph targets added in scene mode can be copied and pasted just like any other keys.  So repetitive morphs can be copied singularly or in bulk, and pasted just as you would be copying and pasting the sequences themselves.
 

Hi there Arik. That dude is hilarious!  . Good stuff. Keep it up, nice one.
