You probably have heard - you usually want 12fps minimum for it to register as relatively 'fluid' animation for most people (pun not intended).

I would use a timer to estimate how long I want the loop to be in seconds and use that. I would personally think maybe 5 seconds, 60 unique frames - and you can always mix and match for a more random/less repetitive look.

Very cool!

This is some very good character animation and design!

This is GREAT! Excellent facial expressions and lip syncing.. and the comedic timing is fantastic. Good work beavs

CoriDavis... a name I never thought I'd hear again! Cool project! Looks like a small airplane hangar

Dang, pretty sweet!
Also... had to have a laugh at "Tom's Balls" xD

Well, actually, you are talking about Non-uniform scaling. Some via menu single axis factor control would be handy, yes ( custom editing for some other parameters/ tools also would be great, generally ). But you can use ( I think ) non-uniform scale tool on some particular axis and maybe in conjunction with the SnapToGrid function ( not sure though. Can’t test it now, but I recall there’re some issues with the Scale uniformly and Non tools and the Grid spacing or something ).

Right, exactly Gyper. That's the problem I've been having with the non-uniform scaling tool that uses the mouse and locking to one axis - It seems like the minimum amount of scaling for each "step" is too high for precise work, and zooming in really far doesn't seem to change the amount of scaling that happens per step like it does with other tools (like the face extrusion tools for example, or using the move tool with the mouse and keyboard which can get super-granular)

For example, I'm designing a desk with drawers that are really close together, but I want a tight gap that's still visible in Anim8or. Right now they're so close together to be obvious in the view, but if I take one drawer and try to shrink it just a little with only the X-axis selected, the gaps get way too huge on each side.
I guess maybe I could try the Snap function but I don't think that goes past 2 decimal places so I'm not sure it's fine enough either.

Very FNAF/Cawthon-equse. I like it beavs!

Hey guys, so an issues I've had with Anim8or's UV mapping is that subdivides often don't really want to texture cleanly. I'm working on a simple coffee table design that I want to build, but you can see in the image:

- the actual shape
- how it's UV mapping
- how the actual texture might/should look
- the way my geometry on that face is set up

It doesn't matter that much since it's just for looks/ to get an idea of how the final build would look proportion-wise, but is this one of those things we 3d artists just kinda have to reckon with? Or am I missing a key piece of information or something?
