Anim8or Community

Dark Basic will make the game that you want. However it isn't a simple click, and build engine, it is a programming language, but very easy to learn.

When I extrude/fill the text it is very triangulated, and then smoothing creates jagged edges. Is there an easy way to fill an object so that it is made up from horizontal splines. Then the subdivide is smooth. i normally add my own splines by hand, but it takes a long time. ZBrush can load an Anim8 Obj and automatically convert it to better standard splines, which are often squares. I just wonder if Anim8or is creating none standard triangles?

There was a thread here somewhere about text to 3D, but I can't find it.

Is there an easy way to turn text into a 3D model? So that the reference typed text can be extruded automatically. I think I used to use Cinema 4D to create instant text, but I have lost my serial number for it. (It was free on a magazine, and the serial number was in the magazine somewhere)

Thanks!

I thought those tools were all for faces... cool!

That's a good tutorial. I've been using Anim8or for years, but have never done any of those things before.

Dark Basic is the easiest way to make games. You will need to export the Anim8or images as 3DS, or convert the Obj to 3DS. I make games using Anim8or, have done for years, but the animation frames have to be saved as separate models.

It looks like you have set a bigger height for you render then your screenresolution. If you set the height of your render on a larger number then the height of your screen resolution, the render will go on outside your screen. This way the render looks finished, since it reached the top of your screen, but it still needs some pixels to render. Click and drag on the image to see the top of your render.

It was running all night, should have finished in about 3 hours, but had 8 hours. Res = 1024 * 768. My own screen is 1152*864.
