Anim8or Community

So, I'm new to this software and to this forum. Now before you guys tell me anim8or's not receiving updates anymore, I'm aware of this and I just want to try it out. I also use Blender a lot so I would like to compare the features of both. So can anyone point me to some interesting/fun tutorials for anim8or?

Thanks guys!

Anim8or is still under development by the creator of the software. See topic ongoing Anim8or development for the latest release bro.

You might have to convert any files. Even better though, have a go at doing your own with Anim8or!

Wow, there are a ton of models in that link bro. Thanks for posting them. Leroy.

They look backwards from one side to the other. Looks like you might need to flip the texture on the other side 180 degrees?

I'm not familiar with how Anim8or does this, but it looks like you might try planar mapping the left and right sides independently?

Maybe you might also try dividing the model down the middle and use the mirror modeling tool to duplicate the other side with the texture applied?

Anim8or was the most usable out of everything I could find when I started 3d modeling 2 years ago.   It is very user friendly and the way the manual is written and worded is VERY intuitive.  Thank you STEVE your work is very appreciated, one of my favorite things.   

Another good one I use is Caligari's old Truespace 7.61 beta 8 if you want to export animated models. I use old model side 6.6 version included with 7.61. It's pretty simple to use and is icon based in terms of it's modeling tools. It's no longer supported but is still downloadable via the web and free as well.

Anim8or is cool but I'm still waiting for animation support which makes it not as useful as Truespace in terms of exporting animation. Truespace, can export in X, 3ds, and it's own native COB and SCN format. Hopefully, Steve will eventually add animation support for something like 3ds or one of the other model formats that it currently uses. Leroy.   

Can Anim8or be run as an Admin by right clicking it's icon and setting properties to run as admin?

Yes, what was the problem with the images? Nice house btw.

For some unknown reason the image is just an X? Hmm, IE browser is getting flaky?

I know animation is not supported with non A8 exporters, but I was wondering if the rigged model will export with other A8 formats like X 3ds and XSI? Thanks, Leroy.
