Anim8or Community

hi i just tried anim8or on my vista home premium, it didn't work, so i chose winXP compatibility mode, and ran yay , but then i realized that i have a few of the problems everyone else had. like the box select.

can anyone else not see the viewport text (Front,back,user1...et.)?

AMD duel-core
3 gb ram
NVIDIA graphics

i am unfamiliar with drivers, how do i check/install new ones?
if this has been covered please link to it

thanks

i found that grassgen is useful, but it has many flaws, i have had alot of trouble trying to use it.

heres the easiest way i got it to work:
use defaults as a test-run through including, everything

just do this too:
instead of changing the name in the INI copy and rename the anim8or file

then once your sure it works, change the values, i found that not changing the file name helped for some reason, hope it does for you too

right click will add a selection
alt-right click will take one away

hope this helps

my computer is being stupid, causing the image to look completely black.
so i copied the image and inverted the colors in MSpaint and it looks good (just my weird way of doing things)
that way, when i get to a different comp i will comment more

this is what MSpaint gave me: (i think it looks quite cool)


EDIT:
saw the real image on another computer and it looks good

the spring plugin adds a primitive to the object edit area if you have anim8or configured properly it should be there, you should go to File>Configure and make sure preload scripts is checked

here is an image of my object mode with all shape plugins highlighted, and the spring plugin highlighted further

when i read the first post i wasn't sure what you were asking, but now i get it.

had i known i would have said: to make bouncing realistic would require a bit of vector math, i don't know the specifics.

i believe steve has put it in pretty good terms

wow that is so, way beyond what i can do, i'm a noob anyway. that is amazing and incredible
