As I stated before, for a touch interface, the addition of a zoom would be usefull, but yes, with a mouse the original arc rotate is far better hence why I said the new one should still accept right and middle clicks (since they cant be done on touch it wouldn't affect them - well, right can, its touch-and-hold-then-drag )

Might I suggest seldon that this should have been in Ongoing Development and not Anim8or V1.0.

Ive been meaning to mention this since build 12xx but refrence images are not transparent in wireframe mode.
this means I have to switch to solid mode and assign a temporary transparent surface to model to match refrence image.

Hi Steve, Can you please make sure you post development builds in the dev thread too since I lost the last build and it took a while to find this build (the thread didn't even show it had new posts in it)
At present the dev thread still says "The current release is build 1269, February 14, 2017"

Glad you got copy/paste working though

When I seen your thumbnails I thought you were using diffuse inter-reflection, sadly when I opened up your images they look like they have been done in the scanline renderer with lights simulating the doorway.

You should try using the settings I posted (back-up your project first) and see how it looks.
The numbers might need tweaking but I think it should work fairly well with that doorway.

Thanks everybody, I thought Id share to bring the subject back up since it was a while ago since I last mentioned it (must have been around 2014)

PerfectGold aka GoldenEye Setup Editor. PerfectGold is a concatenation of Perfect Dark and GoldenEye Since the editor supports both as PD was built from GE.
The editor now also supports Diddy Kong Racing, Micky's Speedway and Jet Force Gemini, however I don't think any realistic name could be made from that list of games

Trevor: this is a nice collection of images, especially since Anim8or doesn't use Photon Mapping which is much more efficient at rendering diffuse inter-reflections like in your examples.

Ah, is that why you originally said it couldn't be done (My original images of the ship were extremely contrasty)
Ive done a few DIR renders with ART, each time getting better results, these I think are the best which is what prompted me to post them.

For those who want to re-create these are the entire settings

Material:
Ambient 0 (0)
Diffuse 20 (128,128,128) (Optional texture set to Darken)
Specular 0.95 (255,255,255) (If used texture copy here too and again set to darken)
Roughness 0 (9999 for mirror)
Attributes class[type string = glossyreflector]

Scene:
1 infinite light for sun (255, 229, 191) - slightly orange sun to counter the blue sky
1 local light for interior (136, 124, 118) - warm interior light 1/2 as bright as sun
Environment spherical panorama of sky
Global Lighting ambient 0, diffuse 1 (exterior) diffuse 4 (interior)
AA samples min 49

Attached is the original image and composite sample

Copy and paste materials can be done via edit menu, but I like your idea for global material option.

Trev

I should note that I have never used global materials and had to come up with my example pretty quickly, and its not because I don't have a use for global materials, I just keep forgetting about them since they are never used unless you actually make a new material in there.
