Anim8or Community

i just need to ask a question, i use the little eye icon to do all my view changing and zooming in and out, but most people seem to use the arc, is this just because you're more used to arc rotate, or is it better for modeling to use arc rotate, i haven't had any trouble using the eye, just thought i'd find out

  nice!! you sure that's your first?  that's a pretty nice model, the handle is a bit...square though, i like the blade, the way you've modeled the front of the sword further forward than the middle (i don't even know what i'm talking about) makes it look sharper, well done

one feature i'd like to see, is the ability to copy and paste an object in scene mode, it's really quite annoying when i have to resize an object that is needed multiple times in the scene, i have to resize them all seperately once they're added

or is this already in there? am i missing something?

that's awesome, good quality model, it looks just like the cutscenes in the game, all the details are there, awesome

done, here's the video :

i think he means to ask where to acces the skeleton mode, you just click on mode at the top left and click figure

for the materials, in the toolbar just above the viewing screen there is an option that looks like 4 black dots, this will show you the materials toolbar

cool, thanks for making it easy 

i have tried this tutorial from the website, i skipped it when i started using anim8or so i decided to try it to understand the figure mode

it was going well untill i got to the beak, it tells you to make a square (NGon with 4 sides) but on the picture it is in a diamond shapr, like this <>
but when i made it, it looked like this [ ] the red and blue axis lines face the right way, but when i rotate it to the diamond shape, they are facing the wrong way, is there something i'm meant to do? or is it a problem with the tutorial?

thanks for your help
