Ian Ross has just released a book on Anim8or. It's perect for a beginner and a good reference for experienced users. It contains detailed chapters on every aspect, with many examples. Get your own copy here: "Anim8or Tutorial Book"
Ok, I know this has been more than a week, but I had a vacation in there somewhere. Anyhow, this was the more detailed version, but I didn't like the way the Salon and Deckhouse windows looked, so i am redoing those, but I have added some real wood textures, although the deck is darker than I like.
As far as the extra details, this has more fittings, such as the horn, anchor winch, lifering, etc. I also rendered it in ART so it looks a lot better except for that feisty near-Z clipping issue at the bow. I also included a pic of the prototype so you can see what I am working towards.
OK if you have further issues post a sample file and I'll look into it.Thanks a lot Steve, I'll make sure to do that. Awesome features in the new build btw!!
The licked attribute is stored within the bone's controller.
Can you post a figure that shows this crashing problem? And which bone's name do you try to change? I assume that this happens in the Figure editor.
Hi Claude
Yes, thats the normal way to do it.
Double keying is just a habit i've picked up which, to me anyway, has advantages over using a single corner key, and actually, the visual part of seeing 2 keys side by side in the timetrack is one fairly main advantage, making it easier to quickly see in the time track where things stop and start. (different colored keys would do the same)
Double keying, for me, actually came about initially when wanting to STOP a motion. (Stop drifting). From there, it became quicker to copy those keys and paste them before re-starting a move, than it was to set a corner key. Tho i still do that at times.
Edit: Just to say, i'm not suggesting that different coloured keys would be a good thing.........hadn't really thought about that...
