Shadows done, now on to mirrors and glass...

<< < (3/4) > >>

Tanzim:
actually what Steve did was pretty smart (as compared to what you want him to do)
specular is a fast way of doing reflection's, as it only reflects white light regardless
adding the specular attribute with the string reflection changes the specular value into reflection value, so only either specular or reflection has to be computed instead of both
also materials in file will appear throughout the file so it would be pointless having it copied, object materials only appear in the object
Hope that helps

flametiger74:
Well the point I'm trying to make is not that you can't copy file materials, but from one project to another.
Normally if the objcets material is in the object tab. You can just copy the object and paste it in another object and the material will be copied.
With file the material won't be copied.

hihosilver:
Ah, I see what you mean now.
If you're using the newest version of anim8or (v0.97a) you can copy and paste materials straight from the bar with "edit>copy material" and "edit>paste material".  You can do this from project to project as well.

Yes I did. I'm just not the remembering kind of guy.

hihosilver:
Then do what I did!
Save the files to your computer and whenever you forget, just go back to them.  It's the same as a tutorial, if you aren't the remembering kinda guy you'd have to go back to the tutorial anyways.
