Anim8or Community

These designs are now available as T-Shirts and other merch on my TeePublic store!

I modified the last two designs to be a bit more dynamic since I hate slapping a square on a T-Shirt, so those two have the originals separately as Prints.

I still plan to make more and upload them as another wave in the future.

CoriDavis how much memory does Anim8or use when you're rendering the scenes?

When I use Multithreaded ART, it uses about 93-95% of the CPU. I attached a snapshot of my monitor during a render.

The image of Jesus with the pillars still had the issue whether or not it was multithreaded. It didn't even matter if it was ART or Scanline. It only goes up to 15% at the most when it's not multithreaded.

Image 1 is Multithreaded, Image 2 is Singlethreaded.

So many times I've made a texture and not realized how much I'd need it more throughout my project beyond the first object I made with it. But there's no way to easily change it from "Object" to "File" without remaking the texture, or perhaps editing the code of your Anim8or file if you're clever.

It would be nice to have a checkbox or dropdown within the material dialog that can allow you to switch the assignment at any time.

Alternatively it would be cool to be able to copy/paste materials, not only as a way to move a material between File and Object, but to make it easier to make a new material based on an existing one without having to redo all the settings from scratch. But I imagine that would be a lot harder to implement.

Here's my next one! Special appearance from my Jesus model.

I had a very strange issue with this scene that I was never able to fix, causing Anim8or to crash every time I'd render more than once. I narrowed it down to having something to do with more than three pillars in the scene (specifically the curly ones). I could render ONCE, freshly after opening Anim8or, but if I tried to render again after that (ie. changing something and trying to render again), the program would crash. I troubleshooted for hours before giving up and working with only three pillars.

Did some editing in post, and adding a Bloom effect really pulled it together. I love this one even more than the first.

I've attached the unedited version with no filters under the finished piece so you can see what it looked like straight out of the render.

That looks amazing! I LOVE it! I'm thrilled to see more people lipsyncing and animating characters these days.

Nice model. How was it finished, with paint?

It was printed in white and then I sprayed it with a coat of Rustoleum triple-thick glaze hoping to reduce some of the lines without the alternative of sanding it. I'll probably give it one or two more coats though.

Thanks Steve! I'm always so happy to see you comment!

Thank you! It's been a long and tedious process. Looking at the dates this took just over two weeks to finish!

I finally got my 360 rendered!
