Anim8or Community

Well done Neirao! That's really a useful tool for all Anim8ors.

I just downloaded it and I'll use it for sure, then I'll be glad to give my suggestion for improving it - if I'll have any, but from the screenshots seems like you have already done a great work.

Ouch! You're right, I didn't think about interpreting your sentence that way, which is fine as well. Anyway, that's a small misunderstanding, easily worked out ;-)

About the BVH files, I thought there already was a converter/importer... didn't you base your animation on a BVH file? I think I missed something.

Maybe there is a chance that Anim8or could already import figures and animations in some format for which there is already a BVH converter, I'll investigate it and I'll let you know, seems like this feature could be interesting for many people. [Edit: Just checked out and realised that Anim8or only imports its own formats, as for figures and animations... well, I might have a try at writing an appropriate converter]

Good continuation.

Thanks, I was on Opera Mini and I couldn't see the link to report it... (sweet <frame>s... how much do I love them )

You can start with the manual:
http://www.anim8or.com/manual/index.html
and then you can continue with the tutorials:
http://www.anim8or.com/tutorials/index.html
Once you have done this, you only need an idea about something else to do and a bit of patience to experiment on Anim8or.

And don't forget to post here if you need help or advice, this forum is meant for that - and for sharing your works, of course

Yes you're right VBsmiles, and although I already mentioned this workaround in my first post above I'm glad you took the time to drop in and suggest your solution. Everything is fine, Anim8or is fantastic as it is, this is really just a minor issue.

Yes you're right aGMuser, the upper part is concave too but it doesn't show the same problem of the lower part. This is quite strange. Could you post your project or maybe just the exported object that shows that behaviour?

Anim8or disallows setting two object to face each other because it would create a circular dependency.

I think this should be changed somehow, because it creates a circular dependency only if they are in the same branch of a hierarchy tree.

In other words, if two objects aren't one parent of the other (whichever the level of "parent/child" you have), then those two objects can actually face each other, with no risk of circular dependency.

This isn't truly important, because this issue can be worked around by adding another object as a placeholder, but I wanted to point it out anyway, as it would be a minor improvement.
