General Anim8or Forum / SEA TEXTURES
« on: April 16, 2008, 03:44:06 pm »

Does anyone know where i can find some huge really detailed sea textures??

atm, im using a 1944x2592 lol and evem this is too small ...

ive attached a rendering that shows the sea being too stretched, not realistic enough.

The sea model is absolutely massive, so i will either have to get a much bigger sea texture (or the same size texture with more wave detail) or somehow mirror and paste a load of sea images of the same texture to create one big one (though this would look rather weird)

any suggestions??

Anim8or v0.98 Discussion Forum / VOLUME SHADOWS
« on: April 15, 2008, 03:57:47 pm »


I think that volume shadows should be made workable and reliable ... At the moment, volume shadows mess up ... The textures go all destorted. I believe this error should have been sorted out ages ago ... Its been going on since Version 6 :S

my model set is huge. Ray traced shadows take ages. Volume shadows would decrease time ... But they dont work! Image quality can sometimes be terrible.

In fact, i think Volume Shadows should be a main priority ...

for quick renders etc

Finished Works and Works in Progress / The Plug Tower Hut ... What texture??
« on: April 13, 2008, 03:42:32 pm »
I have modelled the plug tower hut ( in my game) but im unsure what texture to use ...

Ive attched three images that show a clay hut, a metal hut and a stone/wooden plank hut

My original idea was to have a clay hut, as this looked more primative, though seemed to be too much like the huts from Riven ... :(

Not too sure really
What are your thoughts??

« on: April 12, 2008, 07:08:53 am »
I experimented with version97 today with the set im designing ... I used ART Ray Tracer to render the image, however it turned out to be quite a mess :S it reminds me alot of the problem i have with volume shadows ...

anyone know why the image is turning out like this ??
ill try and get a picture of what i mean soon, but basically the textures go all strange and distorted :S i thort ART Ray TRracer was supposed to be better than scaline ...

General Anim8or Forum / rendering big scenes .... ISSUES!!! and advice
« on: April 09, 2008, 04:05:16 pm »
To get the most out of my models, I would like to use ray traced soft shadows ... but im using a lot of models. Ive kept the polygons down to a mimium to speed up rendering, hjowever, i still think its going to take ages ... There was even one point where i took a rendering of the entire set without shadows and Animn8or came up with an error message and shut down!!! :O

Is there a good fast rendering software that supportas Anim8or files???

also, can anim8or 360 panoramic views?

any tips on how to render soft shadows faster?? Does a fast computer render iamges faster or is it just anim8or ... Wish the renderer was faster!!! lol

General Anim8or Forum / Models Too Big - Increase Set Viewing Size?
« on: April 08, 2008, 01:55:48 am »
I have a problem.

My set is huge ... too big perhaps :P

the further i go with the camera, models start to disappear from view although they're still there ...


I was wondering if therre was a way of making the working environment much bigger ... so more models can be viewed etc

General Anim8or Forum / Textures and model problem!
« on: March 27, 2008, 05:43:42 am »
Heyy

My name's Aaron

I have been using Anim8or for a quite some time, since i was 13. Im now 16, yet i have had a period of about a year where i havent used it at all. I recently downloaded v.95 and for some strange reason the smooth round effect that can be applied to the model just for viewing purposes still has a load of lines going around it :S also, the textures dont appear once ive applied to the model and only appear in the rendered image, animation.
