Anim8or Community

hmm, I thought that IK was already there sort of. Isn't it the process that we envoke whenever we use painted weights? How the skin moves around the joint and so on? I understand that it also allows for other things greater than that but is that not one of the basic functions of IK?
Just wondering cause that wiki isn't exactly clear on it, and most IK sites that I have read are rather wordy and confusing as well.

"since anim8or is free so should the book".

French is a free language, but there are thousands of books out there that teach you how to read it and how to speak it.
HTML is a free programming language, requires nothing more than a computer, and there are extensive tutorials online, yet, every year hundreds of new books on the subject come out.
Blender is also a free program, yet has books.

If you want to write a book, and teach people how to use anim8or, and someone wants to buy it, what's the problem?
As a matter of fact, I first heard about anim8or in a book about game programming, and it had an extensive explination of how to use anim8or to create your objects.

If someone goes through the trouble of writing a book (A good book mind you), on using anim8or, why should they not get paid for their work?

A little bit more information is needed here.
Are you using the default "scan line" render, or are you using OpenGL. You get this kind of stuff with OpenGL, which, I suspect is why Steve wrote his scanline one.

This same problem also happens when you add a light and make it cast shadows, but you don't change it to "ray" type of shadows. The volume shadows aren't yet completed so they are buggy.
