Wow, nice new feature, Steve! It's a great step for Anim8or. My viewport was messing up because of the GLSL shader issues with my (Nvidia) graphics card, but it's looking promising!

Raxx, I tried out your model in 3d Studio Max and I think you have answered your own question already earlier. Try checking 'flip green' in the normal map.

Nice cheese there, Ronald de Boer! (Always wondered if your screen name is after the soccer player    )

Anyway, as a Dutch person I can say out of experience that it is rare to see a Dutch cheese without at least some holes (bubbles) in it. just a few will do.
see the picture:

Also, if you want to improve it further, as you can see as a cheese ripens over time, the yellow gets slightly darker on the outside of the cheese. You could  add a texture for some realism.

In all, I like the cheese, but you could make it look a little more yummy by adding some realism

Hey Johnar,

I'm sorry I'm not an expert on these matters.. But I thought I'd give you my two cents..

I don't know what your budget is for a new card, but it seems to me that buying an 8+ year old second-hand card might not be the most reliable option. When I needed a new card for my older computer (similar, maybe slightly higher specs than yours, but now about 7-8 years old) I got the (semi)cheapest new graphics card I could find that fit the slot on my computer (Geforce GT 610) for about 30 euros. Everything runs perfectly smooth, including 1080p movies, most games that I do (I'm not a gamer ) and never have a glitch in 3d.

I think getting a new card would be more reliable (+ warrenties) and more adjusted to everyday tasks right now than an old card that was more high-spec back then. I would just look at low-end new cards ( http://goo.gl/z8xwlE ) But that is just my experience... I'm sure someone below can give you a more expert opinion Good luck!

Just want to wish everyone that celebrates it happy holidays!
And I hope you will get what you wished for just like our little friend below



Made and rendered in anim8or, post-production in Photoshop.
I've attached a render of the gifts in the background as well.

Nice tutorial, Randall!

It explains a lot of valuable ASL specific syntax. The explanations are very clear and easy to follow for a novice like me.

One note: when the amount of sides gets over 250 the created face gets clipped. Maybe there is a max amount of sides a face can have? In that case maybe lowering the limit would prevent this.

I'm sure I can use this tutorial to build on for future scripts!

Looking great, Raxx!
that's one character all modeled, cool!

I've made a tree to go with the house
Kept the leaves pretty big, so that it won't have too many polies, hope it looks good enough though.
Added the tree to the main file:

Alright, here's an updated file with all the elements included & all the textures. See the render for the total picture.

I've added some deck chairs to the mix.
There is also an Object with just the elements that make up the different ground planes on which the grass can be spread using Raxx' PHur plugin.

Not sure if it would be tier 2 or 3.. But the ability to area render would be nice (aka selecting an area that will be rendered instead of the whole image) So test rendering is a lot faster without having to render the whole image.
