Difficult to get started - too many new concepts
bystander:
I have read the manual for a long time and played with Anim8or but find it difficult to create even a simple object. I will very much appreciate if someone can help me show how to create a simple flower - a stem (created from a modified cylinder?), and a few petals. May be one or two antennae coming out from the centre.
I also can't figure out how to select one modifier and one object before I can apply that modifier. When I have only one object, I could do Select All.
Thanks very much.

Have you tried some tutorials? The eggplant tutorial (click here) would help you a lot with your flower model...

You can use all 3 mouse buttons to select, add to selection and deselect; explanation in the manual: http://www.anim8or.com/manual/2_basics.html#mouse_usage
You can also use the Drag-select tool for multiple selections (read the common button meanings)
Good luck...

The first tutorial in the beginners section here is a tutorial on modeling a flower. Tutorials will be your best friend for creating things right now and they should help you so that these things aren't so difficult.
Also, try searching google first. I searched for "anim8or flower tutorial" and found that tutorial.

No, I had not seen the tutorial, but saw it today. I think this tutorial explains quite nicely. I haven't had the time to try it myself, but hope to do it this Saturday.

This would have been very nice because I had an idea of animating a flower with flapping wings. I had difficulties running the video file after unzipping. It said some component was missing, but didn't tell me which one. I tried this on an old Windows NT 4. Should I do it on Windows XP or do you think the problem is somewhere else?
