Anim8or v0.98 Discussion Forum / Fix for Mtl files on Obj export
« on: June 29, 2009, 07:29:54 am »
Hello,

I wondered if anyone has found a fix for mtl files that point in the direction of anim8or meshes materials.

I'v been fiddling for half a day trying to get them to work.

Half the time I get a crash with .97d etc - sometimes if it doesn't crash, then I don't get an mtl file at all. If I use older versions  I've started getting mtl files with nothing in them..

????

I'm using Vista and Xp, running in xp mode as administrator in Vista.

One work around is to export in 3ds.

But that means separating the Objects into one mesh per object materail. As Objects end up being exported as one mesh instead of lots of seperate meshes....

Also it seems that the 3ds materail paths are local ie doesn't export the full paths. Any work arounds please ?  :)

I've played around with this

http://gmc.yoyogames.com/lofiversion/index.php/t333219.html

but it exports in a format I can't use.

Perhaps someone could write a plug in to export materials for obj with full file names?

:)

thanks again

General Anim8or Forum / Looking for Voice Wav files please help
« on: June 25, 2009, 06:33:21 pm »
Hello there, I'm searching for english wav files that say one word eg apple, I, need, drink etc.

Reason? To link to a html document to help a non verbal person to communicate an idea when they mouse over a suitable picture.

I don't want to use inbuilt robotic voice that come with computers for various reasons.

I've found a whole lot of online dictionaries that come with flash files that do what I want, but so far have not been able to download the flashfiles though I have downloaded IE pug in.

Why am I asking here?

Because anim8ors are always stumbling on sound files to use in anim8tions, so maybe someone has a source they could point me to?

thanks in advance

In response to this band offering their music for use in animations



http://asocietyred.com/


A whole lot of my old and new animations together, the editing breaks down at the end where the song peters out but hey.

All anim8or meshes, 80 percent anim8or renders.  Used my new alice and mad hatter meshes ;0

put something together and post it to them via video response I think

edit: I put the wrong year in the credits hoho, must be tired I spent all last night in hospital sitting next to a bed.... :(

General Anim8or Forum / Share Your Modelling Tips:
« on: March 21, 2009, 04:58:12 am »
 ;)

A long long time ago, in a land far far away someone started a thread where  modellers shared their tips. The idea  was to give upto three tips per post that you thought would help other modellers.

Is any one   interested in sharing their methods?

For me:

I suppose one which I have found handy recently is to use a sphere primitive  as an eyeball  when modelling eyelids. It means that you can still use the arrow buttons to fine tune your eyelid shape, and you wont distort the sphere that represents your eyeball - because you can't select any verticies on it.

Of course if you have   an eyeball mesh, you can group it so that the normal move tool won't change it's mesh - but you can't use the arrow buttons to fine tune the eyelid mesh unless you are very careful not to select the   eyeball mesh verticies..

Over to the next 'tipper"

Hopefully there will be plenty of tip.s Don't be shy. :)

Finished Works and Works in Progress / Elf/Leopard/Eagle/Steam Punk/X-wing/Halls of Fury WIP
« on: March 03, 2009, 10:44:21 pm »
WIP

First up the gnome. I think I will make a book cover eventually using these meshes....

I started baseing him on a garden gnome I found in the....... garden, but I have tried to give him more of a mischievious face. Bit of assymtery. Might fix up the outside part of his right eye (left side of image) to make it more almond shaped, base of right ear, nasal corners, don't know whether his nose should be less stumpy....Certainly will add a bumpmap to bring out some fine work. The tongue is somewhere else...

The hat is a holding mesh till I work one up.

Model and render anim8or .96.

C and c welcome.
