UPDATE: It appears that the issue is indeed with the image itself. I just tried to make my own panorama with an object and when I tried to load my image, the problem happens again. This time when I try to load the image, it freezes, comes back, and the image name doesn't even show up in the list. This time I was finally able to screenshot what happens when I try to load the image a second time:
Is there an image size limit or a file size limit? What about a folder depth limit? It is under a lot of folders.

General Anim8or Forum / My Anim8or is Bugging Out
« on: June 10, 2014, 02:00:13 pm »
Hey guys. I'm back because I had some ideas for a (somewhat new) Youtube show that will probably be using Anim8or. Right now I'm working on remaking my logo since I can see how dumb it looks being so old. I've redesigned it completely since then:
Anyway... to the point. Everything was going fine until I tried to add a panorama background in Scene editor. First I was using the 1088 version just to try it out and I thought that was the problem, so I tried the 0.97d version I had laying around, and had pretty much the same problem.
When loading a panorama image in 1088, I would select the file and it would return to the screen as normal, only it would stop responding as if it were loading and stayed that way. I tried again and it said My Pictures was empty. What!? So I checked it and it's clearly not. I decided to restart the program and had the same results.
In 0.97d, I load and select my panorama image and it stops responding the same way:
Then when it finally loads, the File section remains blank with no filename. I click Ok, and there is an image, but it's all white. Even weirder, after this point, I can no longer take screenshots while in the window! How is that even possible!
Trying to load the image again shows My Pictures being empty
When trying to render the scene, it shows all the "save image" buttons and all that, but the scene editor view stays visible where the render should be and I cannot save the render
When trying to save the file, I can only see the filenames with no thumbnails
When trying to leave scene editor, Anim8or stops responding for a while and eventually shows the respective mode's toolbars while still showing the scene editor's screen.
I have absolutely no idea what's going on. The panorama image in question is attached in case it has something to do with that particular image.

Thanks. Dwsel's fix worked too, but I'll remember that for the future.

I fixed the problem of my Diffuse disappearing by setting it to 0.001 instead of 0. It makes it save the value and it doesn't mess with the brightness of my texture.
Speaking of textures, it doesn't seem to let me load a new 'skin', even though it's 24-bit Bitmap. It was made in GIMP so I figured it was a coding problem, so I copied it into Paint and resaved it, but it's still not loading. Now what's the problem? The original base skin loads just fine and it too is 24-bit Bitmap. JPEG will work, but you know I don't like what JPEG does to solid color images.

It was checked. I unchecked it to see what would happen, and it didn't change so I set it back. There is no transparent texture covering the eyes, so maybe transparency isn't the problem.
EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT! I didn't have the texture listed in Diffuse for some reason. (Now I know why. I had it set to 0 as to not interfere with the color of my model, and when Anim8or was closed, it removed the texture.)

General Anim8or Forum / Model Turned Black
« on: June 03, 2013, 11:16:21 pm »
Hey everyone, Long time no see.
So I've been remaking my pony model for the billionth time in hopes of making an animated web series. I went to open up Anim8or one day to skin my model, and this happened:
Any idea what went wrong? The entire model is encased in a transparent layer (for the cartoon look) and it seems to have turned black. I removed the texture and readded it, but that didn't seem to work. It looks this way in Figure Mode too. Can this be fixed?
It looks perfectly fine when it's rendered, I just can't see my parts.

Lol, that is a funny face! How did you make the eyes movable?
My crit is that I think the eyes are a little too far apart. Unless you want them to be like that for the character's specific features.

Thanks for all the positive feedback! I think I'll leave out the steam. Wax's particles just aren't giving me the desired effect. They look like they would be good for making snow and that's about it. Anyway, I'll be animating onward. I'll still have the clip if I decide to change my mind.

I would like to be a part of it if I'm wanted. Not sure what I would fit best for though. I like organic modelling.

I would have downloaded it, but the ratings aren't the best. Comments say it locks up a lot and doesn't support much.

The render went pretty fast for rendering the machine, but as soon as it gets to the pony, it slows WAAAAY down...
Here's my latest render
I can see that my crusher is opening too far after it crushes, so I must have forgotten to add some extra keys. Maan.. I don't want to render all that again! It took me all day! (from about 1PM to somewhere around 11:30PM). I guess I could leave out the pony for the next render and then render the ponies flying around for the next part.

I do only render with Scanline, and I've never tried out any scripts so... yeah.

Thanks. The color attribute works fine. I hope radius will be made animatable someday though, it would make a bit more sense to newer users.

Really, I've silently lurked around the forums and seen your work, animations, models, you name it. You've got a great eye and some real talent.
Just want to emphasize the animation part, you can really go far with that if you work at it. Your last few animations have looked and… animated?… very well.
The progress on this is wonderful. That last render looks amazing IMO.
Really? Thanks! I think that's the nicest thing anyone on the forum has ever said to me
Anyway, here's the first movie render.
I'm not sure I like how fast the camera moves to get in front of the crusher, but I don't know how I can fix it and have it still be in the right place at the right time. My blue light also messed up, but I can fix that. Once I have my official render, I'll use Wax to add spraying steam to the scene.
