Doh! Of course. I should have thought of that! I'll add it to the next build.
Lol, it's always the simplest things that go over our little programing heads, isn't it?

I am LOVING the ability to be able to select and move with the same tool, however I think it should have a new icon (one with cursor and move symbol combined).
Say Steve are you planning on adding a variable for the thickness of a line; you know one that the user can have control over. In other words have line thickness as a text box and you put a number in for its thickness (1 would default to 1 pixel width).
I will have to play around with it some more to be of anymore help :P but I'm too tired right now ;)

Those that like Silent Running (1972)(imdb) might also like Moon (2009)(imdb)(youtube.com/watch?v=twuScTcDP_Q[/youtube]]Trailer).

A tip: Think big.  Bite off more than you can chew, and chew like crazy!
UNLESS ITS A COMMERCIAL PROJECT!
     Then do the opposite, the very exact opposite!

It's an GTX 760 OC edition with a twin frozr cooling system by msi.

Though I'm thinking of upgrading to a 960/970 and selling this one to a friend.
If I go insane enough I might even try and SLI config this time around.

Microsoft wants OpenGL to die and for everyone to switch to Direct3D so they haven't updated their OpenGL code in more that 15 years.

Ewww, direct3d!
I do know Mesa3D has a software version of opengl that supports 2.0 (possibly 3.0 now). But I don't know if you have to link to it during compile or you can just replace opengl's run-time library (.dll) by copying the mesa3D opengl32 to the same folder as the exe just like with the windows version.

EDIT: there are also a few other alternatives to software rendering with opengl just so you know

That looks great!  Do video cards really have that big sort of heat sink on them? And what about that blue area... Am not quite sure I should be tearing into my PCs to see for myself...
Mines bigger ;)

Well that's not what I meant. I meant that is was confusing to have an alpha setting in the diffuse options, and then have even more alpha settings in the trans map options (which is essentially an alpha map).
So you have an Alpha channel for your diffuse, but then you have your alpha for your transparency.
It the having of options that are essentially the same by definition by different by result/technique that I think is the confusing part.
And I was just wondering if there was a way of redoing the GUI for your texture options and your different types of textures to fix this.

I'd also like to note at this point that I think anim8or could benefit with having a less limited material editor. I like the use of layered effects and properties like in that of Carrara.

This way you could choose what you want, and what you want to be a priority in the texturing process (you can have multiple textures on the same material).

General Anim8or Forum / Re: anim8or compatability with TheSims4?
« on: October 25, 2014, 10:05:21 pm »
Well usually as games go, assets usually have their own format created for that particular game or game engine. And those assets formats are usually compressed data containing models, textures and even sometimes more stuff like their associated animations (and even more complex stuff such as scripts!).
In order to create something for The Sims 4 you would have to figure that stuff out. You would have to figure out not only how to make the assets, but how to convert them to something that the game can read.
Rarely now a days you find a game that runs with ready to edit formats like png, jpeg, .obj, etc; although I have seen a couple independent games not too long ago doing just that.

So I don't think any of us here are going to be much help. However we can defiantly give you tips on how to make the assets themselves (like modeling, animation etc.).
However you take this information I wish you good luck in modding. It's something I never had very much patients for myself, as I just rather program my own engine (like I am doing right now ;) ).
