Anim8or Community

drat! it was going well too.
i have read the manual countless times but much to my distress
remain befuddled in this area.
i can make edges off a solid
but cant see how i begin to make a single edge from scratch
that i can buid upon.

 
hang on....... the shift key!!!!
and joining the solids in object mode first!!!!!
i could be there now.........
aw.......yes......thats $£*%&   it!!!! ......only took a few years.

UPDATE
a personal anim8or milestone to grasp this form of modelling
Wow!! and the rush when it all came together.
works so well when you finally nail it.
anim8or is such a joy to work with .
got this lovely sensation of walking down the roads of earlier anim8or travellers
when the work flow clicked in.
i recommend giving it a try to those box modellers amongst us.
Great thanks to all that helped.
especially the animanonners i would mention them but they are strictly to remain anonymous .
The pic is a bit of nostalgia for the veterans...dont get any ideas boys this lady is spoken for.

thanks for replying,i bow to your knowledge hiho.
perhaps edge extruding was used in this fabled demo/tutorial
i once followed.i
so infuriating that i didn't save the information at the time.
i am saving as much anim8or technical tute info as i can nowadays
just in case it fades away. 

thanks for those links  they are very helpful.
but this is close to what i rembember, the parts being generated semi automatically.

thanks for replying but the links are dead

well it's intricate, good and has a high believability factor ,still 2 weeks left though.
i am hoping to submit an entry also, at present my model can quite proudly  quack like a duck
more beak sync than lip sync.

thanks for all the comments guys....it means a lot.

LEPTONIUM...was made to celebrate the 3d ness of anim8or it's quite minimalist really
certainly in terms of modelling
i entered this film in the mobo film contest recently but it didn't make it into the final.

the finshed film was designed for distibution on mobile phones so thats the reason for its dimensions.
i have been using anim8or for a number of years and without the help and genorosity of the anim8or community
it would not have come to be.
i hope you enjoy it and would love to here your views.

i have another film called 'leptonia' which is very similar though all scenes and backgrounds are different
It is wide screen 1920 x 1080 hd,which i hope to submit somewhere?? soon.

here are some related still images from the movies made using anim8or and photoshop.

i have tried to untriangulate a mesh.but havent succeeded yet.
