Hi Steve,

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! It's a very nice step!

I'm in love with Anim8or! It is a very compact program with tons of functionalities, and very easy to play with.

Cheers,
Geraldo

Dear Steve,

I really Like Anim8or.  It is clear and to the point software like VirtualDub video editor and Wax.

I was wondering if you can set up a function to allow invisible objects to receive shadows?

This would be great for compositing 3d to the Real world video.

Right now I make object invisible (casting the shadow) onto material something like what I will be compositing onto.

Then I eliminate the the receiving material through chroma with wax.

Thanks!

AlDi:  If you set an objects transparency and specular values to 0, anim8or will still render the shadows since anim8or doesn't support raytraced shadows (though perhaps it does when using transparency with the ART raytracer.)  But with basic renders you can simply set the transparency and specular to 0 and render out, and you'll get only the shadows.

Wow. Definitely a rendering improvement.  I can't wait to try the new features on some of my existing models. 

Only thing I woud suggest, is adding a "cancel" feature to the render process. ...I was rendering one of the example files you give when I realized it wasn't the example I had wanted to view... I had to wait for the render to complete before I could close it and open the correct file.

Also, have you ever considered forming a development team like the one for POV-Ray to lighten your development load and to speed up the process?   Just curious...

When you press esc when rendering (might need to press a couple of times), the render will stop.
