Finished Works and Works in Progress / Re: Ultimate Anim8or Tutorial Series
« on: October 03, 2025, 05:22:13 pm »
If you have any experience with the Phur plug-in, I'd appreciate a tutorial on that. I can get it to pop-up the spikes, but the comb befuddles me. Extensive pdf explaining the process, but I'm still lost. Shortly going to look the forum over for using the plug-in. Intend to keep at it, since I need some fur on a model I'm trying to make. I'm not all that familiar with Anim8or's scripts.

Boy is this place a ghost town!

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?

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

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.

Anim8or v1.0 Discussion Forum / Problem making movies
« on: August 22, 2025, 07:15:17 am »
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?

No expert here, but I've also noticed this from time to time. I've been playing with decal and alpha channel stuff recently. You might want to see if this might solve the problem? Again, hope someone with more knowledge will respond. Forum, at the moment, seems eerily quiet. Not sure why, or where everybody went. Did Steve take all the OGs to Italy for the summer?

Friend commented that my "eyeballs" could also serve as headlights.



I can't seem to quite get the hang of lights in Anim8or.

Simple 3d animation is fun. :)

Forum seems rather quiet, currently. Thought I'd comment, since I rather enjoyed your video. It's hard to match the movement to the terrain, and not get the sliding effect. If you figure it out, let me know.  ;-)

Finished Works and Works in Progress / Made an AGS game
« on: November 18, 2024, 09:44:40 am »
Used Anim8or to make my entry in the current Nov 2024 MAGS competition. Here's the link:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/v29hekj8q9e642p/GillPartyBus.zip/file

The game is far more cartoon than an actual game, so not to worry about stalling out on a puzzle. Probably takes, maybe, 10-15 minutes to view. Does require a few clicks along the way.

Developed an odd head title along the way. Doesn't seem to mess anything up. Lot more complicated than it seems, but Anim8or got 'er done.
Thanks, Steve!

Been goofing around with this on the AGS Forum. Thought I'd share:

Worked this up today. Has its flaws, but thought I'd share.



Need a bit more development to actually toss the ball. Maybe later?

Finished Works and Works in Progress / Hidden Room
« on: May 11, 2020, 09:01:22 pm »
Current AGS Background Blitz is "Hidden Room." Initial try wound up being the shower curtain. Wasn't happy with it, but salvaged it after finding a funny toilet photo during a Google Search.



The stuff on the shower curtain is from a Bryce render, but the final image is an Anim8or  Scanline render.

Edit: Found another shower curtain texture to add, but I don't "own" it, just passing along because I liked the effect:



Amazon list the curtain, for those that might be interested.
