Anim8or Community

Thanks Raxx, must've overlooked it there.

Thanks guys! Hope we can live up to the expectations


We're working out how the workflow is going to go, and Raxx is still making adjustments to Phur, so we can't yet show any progress in that department. (And the creature is still ugly as ...)

Even though here is an update on bunny. He's fully rigged right now. We'll see how adding phur will affect the rig, but for now this will suffice.

Anim8or 0.97e's mirror bones function was very useful - thanks for that, Steve!


This is what I felt like after finishing the rig:

Great stuff everyone, nothing too crazy, so useful input for Steve probably.


I would like to give +1 to:
texture baking,
more shortcuts (Miatpi, thought I would take it a step further on the saving shortcut, it would be nice to have a shortcut for almost anything, especially in the Build menu)

Alright I'll kick it off.
As everyone I've got so many ambitious projects that never got past an initial phase, but a few in which something actually got modeled. And over time I've lost a lot of files and at one point actually everything i made in the first 7-8 years of using anim8or. Looking through the forums history I've found some wips that were a cool idea but never got done.


A most recent example was from Arik's Steampunk World project. Although never officially terminated, the last update was made in February of 2011 - only 2,5 years ago.

This is the only one of the three of which i have the project files still lying around. Though the chance that itll get touched again is minimal





A year earlier, in January of 2010, I made my last update on a very ambitious project, the modeling of a detailed steam locomotive. I actually wanted to work more on this at the time, but somehow lost the files and didn't get a chance to turn it into any type of final model. At least a few weeks of modeling went into this though, so maybe it was a good thing I didn't waste more time on it!







The earliest one in the series is from September of 2009. I think this got lost in the same batch as the previous one, as I do remember that I wanted to work more on this but was unable to.






Thanks for the challenge, finally one that's right up my alley: unfinished projects. Although I know someone that is even better at these, so Raxx, a shame you only get to show 3 projects.. will be a tough choice for you!

I've got another request that shouldn't be too hard to implement maybe : uniform bevel instead of proportional to the poly the edge is aligned to. In most cases the bevel has to be at an angle between the two polies, instead of having the new edges at a % down the length of the poly. Right now it takes a lot of adjusting to get the bevels to all look the same, especially on a bigger model.

Maybe a picture says more:
(first one is how anim8or bevels now, second one would be nice as it bevels the same amount on both sides, making for an equal bevel)

Thanks so much, Raxx! This is an awesome update & I appreciate all the work you did to make it happen.. Congrats
I'm sure it'll be put to good use.


cooldude: The plugin depends on the material of the mesh to define where the strands will go (you can add multiple materials to the same mesh to get more variety ). So the material is crucial to the plugin I'm afraid. It's not too bad to switch out the material of the base though, you can for example make a duplicate and hide the temporary one.

Nicee works great here on win8.

Thanks, Steve!

I'll be trying it out for sure..
