I found a work around for this, and this time you can have direct control of  the size.

1. use the add edge tool in point select mode, build a quick tetrahedron on that point
2. select the new edges and fill holes
3. select face edges (t)
4. bevel (b)
5. select a point in the tetrahedron, select connected (c), delete
6. fill the hole you just made

like this



I've done a bit of testing and I can't find a mesh this won't work with.

Small crits on the arsenal. I was a soldier for 8 years and I still work on a military post so I'm a bit picky about this kind of thing.

Your 7.62 cartridge (the single round) is a bit misshapen. Take a look at these:

The ammo can is actually squared of, not tapered. You also have it opening on the hinge side. This is possible if you take the lid off, but can be a bit confusing visually.

I can't clearly see the linkage between the cartridges, but I found you some ref pics just to help out.

Closest I can come to this technique is:

select the edges connected to the vertex
join edges (j)
select all the faces you just created around the vertex
merge faces (M)

I wonder if using this system, someone could make a script for this?

As far as I know, yes, that article is very valid. While I haven't written any scripts, I do use text modification inside my .an8 files quite often. At first glace I can't see anything that seems out of date when it's talking about file specs or syntax.

It appears the MP3D vids no longer work.  So sad.

More information would help a whole lot.

Please read the manual for Anim8or and search the forums before posting a question as there is a good chance it has already been answered.

Probably, you need to enable each bone to rotate on at least 1 axis if you want it to move. Also, be sure you set some joint limits, or make it limitless, or else it still won't move.

It's called a challenge for a reason. We only learn by pushing ourselves to new heights. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I just posted this in another thread yesterday.
