Anim8or Community

this is an example of what i mean
you could experiment further, take
a bit more time and come up with a stylised tree
have included the transparency map to make the anim8or
file work properly.

nice woofer. i have a fox wire terrier.
i think that if you experiment using a transparency map
[which is a black and white 2 tone pictue] with a tree leaf pattern or even big dots.
that might be good.
if you click anti alias in the render dialogue it should get rid of that jagged feel.
hope that the above comments have been helpful.

 

there are perhaps some relevant links about this thread
i'm trying to construct a face also

image, antialiased, avi uncompressed . to see good results
and make sure its named and saved to a directory.
you have to effectively do that twice in the boxes shown below,
though the second box gets the info from the first automatically.

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
