:: Requests for next Anim8or release(NEWS ideas)::

[daniel99]

I believe the next release will be sometime this year, maybe this fall. I anticipate major features added to anim8or.

Watch, Steve gonna walk in int he late summer with release 2.0b of Anim8or with all these crazy ridiculously awesome updates... that would be great. That vert. mappper would be great, too.

Without this your forced to make by vertex hair

Why not use transmaps? (Unless you're not good at making textures)
I think Anim88or would be a dream if Steve uploaded the source.

What do you mean by transmaps? Just setting the material transparency in Anim8or?
I thought this effected the whole material though?

You can also alter the transparency of some parts of you texture. You can do this with a transmap, which is a black and white map which will make parts transparent or not. Black will be transparent and the white parts not.

Ah I see, just had to enable shaders in preferences, thanks I had no idea you could do this!
Also I would love to see a UV editor in anim8or. Like the one in MS3d or 3DS.

You believe based on recent credible statements or you just have an unreliable human hunch?

[daniel99]

I hope is a super hunch, because most of us really need it !

Look, man. I really REALLY hate to be "that guy" but ya'll gotta expand. Anim8or isn't the end all be all app out there. You can't stop moving just because it did.

Alright, enough. This topic's deviating from its original purpose, so I'm going to lock it while it's still kind of relevant.

Anim8or's future has been discussed in another topic, go there if you want to speculate about it. I'm sure those who've used Anim8or for a while have already found other programs to make up for its lacks.

neirao, if you want to add more ideas to this topic in the future, just PM a moderator so it can be unlocked again.
