Anim8or v0.98 Discussion Forum / Re: Anti-Alias on textures

« on: April 05, 2008, 08:51:47 am »

Tanzin, you you cant slap on a low res texture in anim8or have have it all pixelated like he's wanting. anim8or always smooths it out. Ive found myself wanting this feature as well for recreating 2d video game stuff in 3d. but the only way it was possible was to upscale the sprites I was useing in photoshop first (using the nearest neighbor scaling option) and in the end its just not worth it usually.

Anim8or v0.98 Discussion Forum / Re: v0.97 Preview Ready (With ART Ray Tracer!)

« on: April 05, 2008, 08:40:45 am »

Wow, youve really outdone yourself Steve. I didn't think anim8or would ever see a real raytracer.
I'm finding myself very lost though, even with the documentation. I cant figure out how to do simple things such as making the reflection more subtle. (something akin to turning down an environment map value when using environment maps). and I still don't get all these new terms. is there a thread I can go to right now to learn as much as possible about how to get specific results? I keep finding that using this new renderer makes the lighting way darker to the point where it removes all detail from my pics. makes everything flat. I know there's something I'm not doing right though.

anyway great stuff from what Ive seen. I think the only major thing left that I'm dying to see from anim8or's renderer is motion blur.
do you for see that ever happening?

oh, and fur ofcourse, but I think we're still pretty far off for that. but for all I know it may be more achievable than motion blur.

Anim8or v0.98 Discussion Forum / Re: suggestion for new algorithm for soft shadows

« on: January 02, 2008, 10:41:18 pm »

could those smudges be avoided with some type of masking? like, by using the depth of field to make sure the shadow doesn't overlap things closer to the camera.

the idea doesn't sound like something that would work, I'm just throwing something out there.

General Anim8or Forum / Re: Welcome to the New Anim8or Forum

« on: December 18, 2007, 09:38:58 pm »

nice. I have to wonder now though. the wip forum is now functional again (as in people can reply), correct?
whats the point of having anim8or.org now? weren't those forums meant to be a much needed substitute once you closed off the old WIP forum? and now both forum systems are pretty close in functionality, wont there be a needless split in userbase?

what kind of anim8or user do you expect to use this one? like, do you think the newbies will tend to post here, and the more experienced on .org?

I just think it may confuse some people

anyway, nice job once again. now if only you could give a similir upgrade to the main site...*hint hint*
