Anim8or Community

Hello,

Anim8or works fine with my Windows XP and Windows 98se machines. 

I put Anim8or on my Windows ME machine with Nvidia Vanta graphics card.  At first Anim8or looked real screwy on it then I updated the Drivers from the Nvidia Website.

NOW the only problem is I can't render Movies.   I can render images.  When I try to render a Movie
right before I get to the Video Compression selection I get the error "anim8or.exe caused error in NvOpenGl.dll"

I have renamed older NvOpenGl.dll drivers to make sure a conflict wasn't going on.

Does anyone have a hint or clue?

Thanks!  AlDi

Dear HiHosilver and Claude,

Thanks for the Input.

One of those DOH moments for me I guess

I have another question.  Does anyone know how to the decipher or formulate the VOODOO coordinates to make them useful for Anim8or?  I would prefer to use Voodoo. 

Icarus is straight forward as the Rot_Quaterion is the Field used in Anim8or below:.....

The Voodoo for the same Frame is below......

I'm newbie so bear with me.......

I downloaded Icarus and rendered a Camera Tracking File.

Save to a *.Txt file

I then Converted the file with Ic2AN8.exe

Got this:

qkey { 0(-3.87569e-034 -2.22827e-017 -1.73933e-017 1) "?" }
qkey { 1(0.000433346 3.57527e-005 0.000920348 0.999999) "?" }
qkey { 2(0.00102766 -0.000281753 0.00122345 0.999999) "?" }
qkey { 3(0.00130961 -5.26674e-005 0.00121457 0.999998) "?" }
qkey { 4(0.00154947 -0.000459426 0.0015964 0.999997) "?" }
qkey { 5(0.00172568 -0.00028053 0.00195443 0.999997) "?" }

I then Copied and Pasted the above Conversion to a8s file.

When I started the Anim8or Program I get the error in the (MS DOS Black BOX):

Error on line 1:  undefined indentifier 'qkey'
Error on line 1 ';' expected


Anybody Can help? 

This would be AWESOME to get this to work.  Blending Reality with the Virtual World with Anim8or.
