Anim8or Community

Many thanks for your help Raxx, much appreciated.
There is nothing you need to aplogize for, you did not delete the post.

On the other hand, for as vocal as floyd86 was at the beginning of being a moderator why does he not speak up for himself ?
It's the least he could do, if only out of common courtesy.

With more than 10 years experience in hand coding web sites, I strongly advise floyd86 to better secure his account or tomorrow this whole board could be "accidentally" wiped out.

Again I would like to thank everybody who posted a comment on the WIP a car thread for taking the time and putting in the effort to write it, all of which is now equally lost.

If you want to continue to follow the progress of building the 2 CV then you can find it on my own board where it will not disappear.

Also thanks goes to headwax for starting this thread.

Finally, I will now bow out of this forum, I had a great time here and got to know some lovely people but I will not be bullied by a kid whose attitude is bigger than his size.

Goodbye everyone and take care

As far as I know there is nothing to worry about. 3ds divides square faces into triangles and importing the 3ds file into another 3d software program should work without problems

I would like to contribute but for a few things ........

a) how do I know that the file is encoded "H.264/MPEG-4 codec with very low compression" i.e. into what should I convert the avi file ?

b) as a rough guess, how big could the final file be with the specifications from Raxx ?
I'm on dialup and cut-off after 2 hrs so if I can't upload the file within that time I might as well forget it

c) presuming all goes well and I can join in, a last point, I don't want my mug on the internet. Would a black and white shadow profile do as well ?

Yeeees, your texture and your bump map should be applied the way it should look, i.e. for your medallion the teeth of the skull should be at the bottom.

I fixed your file and zipped it up together with the texture and bump map files -  see render - when you applied your texture you should have clicked the UV button and turned your texture around so it looked the right way.

Good news all over !

Anim8or works fine as it is and will certainly do so until a new release is available. Don't worry Steve, time is on your side.

I sure hope that your request is granted Raxx, fingers crossed.

To reduce the file size you could convert it from avi format to mpg forrmat, there are plenty of converter software programs available - some free, some not

When in 1872 a photographer visited this newly created frontier town, above is what he saw then, below is what his photo would look like today (thanks to the magic of Photoshop) 

It took only minutes to do the boardwalk with individual planks and it does indeed make the difference. Being a desert town, there isn't much "dirt" around but I have the sand dust clinging to the lower part of the facade.

Thank you for your kind comments. You are right about the patteren on the ground, this is a straight render, no post-processing, and I should have touched that up before posting.

To finalize my western project "A native American" (http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php?topic=3898.0) I had to balance it with a cowboy theme 

So here's a little corner of a frontier town, enjoy
