General Anim8or Forum / Importing Exporting

« on: October 10, 2018, 05:43:04 pm »

Hi

I imported a 3ds file; a palm tree. It has a texture file that came with it. That imported nicely. However, I paintedd the leaves green, saved it as an .an8 file, and exported it back to a .3ds. I then imported it to a 3D game engine (copper cube) and the leaves aren't green and I am not sure why.

General Anim8or Forum / Texture scaling issue

« on: August 31, 2017, 07:56:08 pm »

Hi

I am adding a texture to a surface and instead of seeing one instance I see 4 of the textures. I tried quadrupling the Wand H in the texture map to no avail. Searched the forums and found nothing relevant which I found strange

Help?

Thanks!

Anim8or v1.0 Discussion Forum / Post Render Menu Won't go away / program hung

« on: August 16, 2017, 05:10:41 pm »

Hi All

I just tried rendering this model. I am able to render once in the Scene Mode then, It doesn't render but it left the post menu side bar. This only happens to me in the v 1.0; not the beta 1.0. Any ideas?

Thanks!

General Anim8or Forum / Character building

« on: November 11, 2016, 09:24:14 pm »

Hi Gang

Long time. I have some vacation time and I am devoting a good portion of it learning Anim8or. I am building a character from 2 reference pictures and its coming along nicely. I have a torso and a leg (yay!) I am just going to copy the leg and the arm I make.

Whats the best way to join the extremities to the torso? This will be a fully rigged character to be animated.

As always, thank for your input

General Anim8or Forum / Transparency question

« on: May 13, 2016, 02:24:09 pm »

Hi All

I am trying to make an in ground swimming pool. I am having a problem with importing my pool into 2 other programs. When I render my pool in Anim8or i get my results: a transparent water layer. But in the other programs, its like a bright white sheet. I have to admit, I am having an issue with wrapping my brain around the whole lighting and material subject. But if I was successful in Anim8or, why wouldn't my results carry over to the other programs? Ultimately I am try to make a nice .fbx low poly in ground pool to use in Muvizu

Thanks for looking

General Anim8or Forum / Need a good start on a fighter plane wing

« on: January 21, 2016, 05:35:35 pm »

Hi All

First, glad to see all the artists still making awesome stuff with Anim8or!

Got the anim8or bug again (after wrestling with Blender) and I am working on a jet plane. Wondering what would be a good start for a wing? Especially making the edges curved in front

Thanks!

General Anim8or Forum / My environment pic is too dark

« on: August 23, 2015, 08:04:11 pm »

Hi All

I want to render a simple static object for a pic. And when I try to add a background pic, it's too dark and I do not know how to brighten in up. I tried messy with the lights to no avail.

Help?

Finished Works and Works in Progress / Coppercube and Anim8or

« on: October 14, 2014, 09:44:35 pm »

I have been experimenting with a program called CopperCube. I think CopperCube has a problem with anything BUT textures, when you import an OBJ file into it. Here is an example of a very easy model. Some nice person from this from this forum provided me with the Earth texture!

General Anim8or Forum / Exporting models

« on: October 03, 2014, 03:46:14 pm »

Hi

I exported one of my Anim8or modes as both an .obj file and a .3ds file. I imported the files into a program I am playing around with (Coppercube). Why didn't my colors and materials get imported with the model?

General Anim8or Forum / Can't Fill Holes

« on: August 28, 2014, 08:26:39 pm »

Hi ya's

I am working on a model. I have some faces selected. I tried to merge them and Anim8or complained: Can't fill holes. So I left the faces selected and chose "Fill holes". Still can't merge :/

General Anim8or Forum / The Cut Tool

« on: August 25, 2014, 04:07:03 pm »

Hey gang

I am trying to wrap my brain around the cut tool and I think I may have learned how to use it correctly, but want to confirm. If I cut some faces, say for instance through a sphere. It will make a new set of points and edges. I simply "select all" the new points and edges and hit delete and there is my cut effect. No matter where I put the cut line; through the middle of the face, a 1/3 down, 2/3 down, that will be the face(s) selected to be cut. In other words I can't cut the faces in half or any other increment

Hope this makes sense. :-)

General Anim8or Forum / spline dilemma

« on: July 18, 2014, 07:13:08 pm »

Hi Gang

I am trying to create some nifty shapes for electric guitar models. I am using splines to creat the shapes. When I FILL or JOIN SPLINES, I get these lines that make it a pain to do any extruding. Why is that?

General Anim8or Forum / Import a picture/ model with splines

« on: April 25, 2014, 08:30:00 pm »

Forgive my lack of the lingo knowledge. I want to bring in a picture (that I made with Anim8or!) and re-spline on it. There are some changes I want to make, of course. I think I saved a biederman tutorial but the link appears dead. I could also have imagined it ;-) Help?

General Anim8or Forum / Advanced Light Properties

« on: April 23, 2014, 07:59:54 pm »

Hi all

I made a pic of how I interpreted the Advanced light settings. The cent would be the Inner with 100% light. The farthest edge would be the outter edge at 1% and then after the edge 0% Is that relatively accurate?
