Anim8or Community

Seems like I was able to figure out lathes long ago, back when I was playing with the sPatch program. But I did appreciate that modifier tutorial, as previously stated. Any clue as to why the forum seems to be so silent now? I pop in from time to time, with long absences between those pop ins, but usually there seems to be some level of chatter going on. I'm guessing Steve is in Italy, something it appears he does yearly? I hope something hasn't happened to him! He's made a wonderful program. Last time I tried Blender, the tutorial showed nothing but attaching lines between boxes, and they weren't modeling anything, yet. Connecting various nodes, I guess?

Your welcome! Happy to help!

Wanted to thank you for the tutorial. Modifiers have confused me for quite a while now. Appreciate it!

First vid of many more tutorials to come. I want more people to see some more YouTube Anim8or content. Although I use Blender for most things nowadays, Anim8or is still what I would recommend for a casual 3d artist who is just beginning. I plan to use this topic to post my tutorial series going forward. (If this is not the place to post this, then I apologize in advance, just want to make some modern tutorials here)

Twist Modifier to create screws, ropes, braided shapes, etc.

I used to use just Anim8or and Paint with the UV tool, to get around the limitations and my lack of knowledge on texturing. So here's a current vid of me replicating that style.

Very nice!!

I'm trying to use textures to apply logos and text to the side of a model. I made sure that the background of the texture is the same RGB color as the material. Unfortunately the texture is clearly delineated on the model. Suggestions for what I'm doing wrong?

Recently had your issue. Found that playing with the ambient got me closer to a match. Not perfect, but closer.

Slight traffic accident with my rickshaw required a trip to the shop:



Only three frames in the gif file, so my fire's not working, but such is life.

My version of Anim8or seems to act weird when I try to generate a second video without closing and reopening the program. I'm thinking something is being "left open" when the program finishes making the movie? I'm talking, here, about generating the sequence of individual images. Also seem to recall that, say, popping back to figure or sequence modes before the second video may help. Not sure of that, however.

Also, in passing, where'd everybody go?
