Hey, thanks, thtat helps a lot.

But one more thing:

In scenes, when you put a sequence on a figure, then another sequence a few frames later, the animation is screwed up in the same was as before, but this time on Scene mode.

Again, if you get what I mean.

Well, that has never happened to me...

(...) then another sequence a few frames later (...)

Just for sure: the sequences shouldn't overlap; "few frames later" should be at least as many frames as the sequence length...

Ok, now I understand...
See "A circle has 720 degrees" chapter of the manual - I think it's exactly what you need, it will help you to make your bones rotate in the right direction...
Good luck

I would try reopenning (reloading) the textures in anim8or;
Open the material settings window for the material with missing textures, open the textures window and delete-load again all the textures that need it...
You can also edit the an8 file in text editor - you can fix the paths of the texture files... Just don't forget to make a copy of your project before edting the an8 file directly...

When replying, expand "Additional options" menu and then attach the file...
I would try "Help" section on the forum (menu on the top of the page...)

EDIT: Wow, Rudy replied at the same moment, just a few seconds earlier... I'll try to be faster next time

I guess you mean something like merging two edges into one... There's no such tool in Anim8or, but you can go around it.
you can move the point you want to remove close to one of the edge endpoints and then use Edit>Merge Points command (first select the points that should be merged)... or you can just delete the point and then add new edge (that's not probably what you want to do...)

Wow.... I'd never thought of doing it that way, seems too complicated for me... I thought RudySchneider sent you a file with the lathed mesh in the other thread (??)

Anyway, if you can't/don't want to lathe the mesh, I can't help you, I don't know any other way...

If you want some material examples, look at http://www.anim8ormaterials.cjb.net/

Ok, it seems we have a different problem... Meshes and splines are something very different and it's not possible to use "Convert to mesh" and "Convert to spline" tool. I guess you used some mesh, deleted most of it's points so you had only a few edges left and tried to lathe this; it doesn't work because what you have is still a mesh and it's not possible to cenvert it to spline.
Here it goes step by step what you should do:

1. You must select the "Curved path" tool in Object mode and draw the spline; look at this part of the manual - it gives a full explanation on how to make/edit splines

2. When drawing the spline, remember that the new mesh will be created by rotating the spline around one axis; therefore some points of the spline should be placed directly on the axis. Click here to display "Lathing" chapter in the manual

Hope this helps... Good luck
