ASL Scripts / Re: ASL's Future?
« on: June 30, 2008, 06:23:47 pm »
karat5663, you can already do this with ASL.  You can write a controller script for the location, orientation, etc. of an object and read the location, orientation, etc. of other objects with it.  Plus a lot more.

Search for "Controller Expression Script" on the ALS specification page:

Anim8or v0.98 Discussion Forum / Re: Art render bug
« on: June 29, 2008, 10:01:44 pm »
I found the problem.  I had forgotten to set the texture coordinates in one case so the ones from another face behind the visible one were being used.  Will be fixed in the next update.

Thanks for the examples, everyone.  I used all 3 to help find the cause.


lynn22, unfortunately the front cover sheet still shows through to the back.   This is becasue ART only uses the front side of a two sided surface.  I'm not sure how I'll handle this but I'm looking into a fix.

Thanks for the files, kreator and lynn22.  I can reproduce both of your problems with textures.  I've already fixed the shadows in that lights won't cast shadows unless you set them to do so.

I think there is a z-limits bug or two in Anim8or that could be causing this.  I'm looking into a fix.  You should be able to set these values.

KiwiNM8OR, are both of these with v0.97b but with multi rendering off and on?  Or is the "Before" one with v0.97a and the "After" with v0.97b?  I did fix a couple of reflection problems for the v0.97b release that could change the result like this.

Starbuck, can you send me the .an8 project for your box?  It's probably the simplest of these.  Something is obviously screwed up but I can't find it in my tests.

lynn22, are you using two sided materials on the cover page of your book?  ART doesn't support two sided materials.  If you could send me the .an8 project for this, too.

kreator, while I'm at it, can you send me your's too?  Especially the box.  The texture coords are really whacky on it!  Hopefully these ar eall the same problem but you never know.

ASL Scripts / Re: Script: Copy "Source" mesh to "Target" mesh
« on: June 26, 2008, 01:59:10 am »
Guys, please!  These scripts may stop working in the near future.  I ask you to not reference outside meshes in parameteric scripts.  That is not a valid operation!

Parameteric scripts are designed to depend only on their parameters, no outside values of any kind.  Anim8or is simply not designed to make that work consistently.

Anim8or v0.98 Discussion Forum / Re: CMOD export script breaks under v0.97b, works with v0.97a

#097-012 - CMOD Export Script Stopped Working in v0.97b

I've found and fixed the problem.  When I added output to the $console in v0.97b I forgot to initialize the "IsConsole" flag on all code paths.  If it gets a non-zero (uninitialized) value for a file opened in a script,
like the material file in this one, the file wouldn't be closed and the last part of it (all of it for a small file like
material files) would be lost.

Thanks for reporting this! It also breaks the .obj export script and I'm sure a lot of others.  A fix will be in the next preview update.

« on: June 20, 2008, 02:52:54 pm »
Yes, selden, this is a bug.  Thanks for reporting it.  Anim8or definitely should tell you which script(s) failed, not just say "Error!!!" :)  I'll fix it.

« on: June 20, 2008, 02:50:21 pm »
What do you need to copy?  Objects?  Or Objects and all of thier controllers, dependendencies and other properties?  The same question applies to the paste operation.

Starbuck, can you post and example or two?  And the .an8 project (or at least the material specs?)

Yes there seems to be several problems with the Z-near setting.  I'll look into them.

Yes the bug is that the ART renderer doesn't show the camera in that view.
