Ian Ross has just released a book on Anim8or. It's perect for a beginner and a good reference for experienced users. It contains detailed chapters on every aspect, with many examples. Get your own copy here: "Anim8or Tutorial Book"
Have the last six issues of Dotan8 Anim8or Magazine that I used to edit ( Perhaps I may start again !!)
Any problems in downloading please let me know.
Link gives me a 404 error on Drop box.
Since I wanted to create a copy of an existing place, I used Anim8or CAD measures with an accurasy of 1 cm ( 1 Anim8or unit = 1 cm in real world ). And it was pain to click every time almost every single edge to see its length, the position of the points e.t.c.
Still have them all on hard driver ( 6-7 years already). Kreator have you those video tutorials you made back then ?
You seem to be having Fun!!...... its not easy to weight paint anything in Anim8or, but gives you a good grounding when you migrate to other programs ie: ( Carrara.... weight painting uses 3d brush and is semi automatic when you add a sketeton so there is minimal painting!!)
But here`s some little tips that I use:
1:find a bone that does not have any movement then paint the whole model with that colour, then start on each individual joint.
2: also try using wireframe mode when doing intricate stuff you can see what missed and what needs painting
3: uncheck your skeleton during your painting process to see where you have overpainted.
Hope this helps. did you get to see the video ??
For example type this on the command line:Sorry Steve, now forgive if I am thick, (Its My Age, retirement fast approaching!!)but what command line? Do you mean in the icon for anim8or, as I just click on that on the desktop.
anim8or.exe -splash 2
and it will display fromsoysauce's colorful scene.
Note: this only works for the v.10 release.
