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"
Seconded.Well, if the only thing preventing the viewpoint button from being removed is the lack of a middle mouse button alternative for zooming, why not add an option to where it's done by holding both left and right mouse buttons?sounds good
Are you familiar with programming at all?I've done some Python for Blender and Erlang for Wings.
Added some more features to the scripts, and currently trying to figure out how to implement blocks and scope blocks into them.What kind of scripting language is this? And why do you have to parse it continuously instead of once?
I'll post the code it usesHave you thought of publishing Anim8or on something like Github?
Blender is more powerful than Anim8or in nearly all areas.In a sense, that's a good thing. Blender is an inexhaustible source of ideas and features for Anim8or to borrow and adapt. And what's more, the implementation sources are in plain sight =)
We all have preferences for different things. Wings3D is a modeling-only package anyway.A modelling and UV mapping package =) All I'm saying is doing both of these things together would be a less disruptive and more efficient workflow.
export .obj from anim8or, import in wings, create the image texture, re-import the obj. and the texture on anim8orIf he's using Wings, why involve Anim8or at all?
neirao: Oops, you're right, that's a bug - the length won't change for then "Edit Bone" tool. I'll fix it.Steve
joint limits can improve IK's realism as characters can tend to look like rag dolls with unrestricted jointsIK limits are usually independent from FK limits.
