Oh, I see! Well, shall look forward to it! :-)

@Steve

I've found another couple of bugs...

1) Can now only move one point of a knot's control handle, not both.

2) When moving a shape/mesh/path via the arrow keys in only one direction, after a short time, the other positions (shown at the bottom-center of the screen), start incrementing, when only one
position should be incrementing.

I've come across another problem, this time with the Knife tool.

Because of the picking distance, when I try to slice straight down from a point, the cut is all over the place, and not going straight down, below the center of the point.

Also, I don't know what's happening with this, but when I slice through the edges of the attached .an8 file, they won't undo. If I join solids and then cut through it, I can undo the first cut, but any new cuts won't undo.

Edit: It seems there's a problem when trying to undo cuts in edges, when those edges don't have faces. (I just removed two faces from a cube, made a few cuts in the edge that remained, then when I pressed Ctrl+Z once to undo my last cut, all the points in that edge went (not the end ones), and one of the faces came back)

PS. Undo buffer was set to 100mb

That was enabled, so I unchecked it and tried again. Still crashed.

Well, I haven't had any problems with Anim8or until this! 

Well, the Auto-Sandbox thing in Comodo Firewall is disabled, and I just turned off the Netbook for a short while and tried it again, and it still crashed. (Anim8or was only using up 27mb at that moment)

When I tested the tool with a new mesh (a cylinder), it didn't crash, so I'm assuming that mesh is causing Anim8or to crash for some reason.

I thought it could have been it's size too, but when I reduced it, it still crashed Anim8or. O_o

UV mapping isn't something I can explain to you in five minutes. In fact, it's the hardest part of modelling.

It's rare I go on Youtube but I suspect that there's something about UV mapping in Anim8or or you can have a good look around these forums.

You'll want to flip the texture and map it with the texture the right way, or rotate the top of the model 180 degrees and UV map it again. Actually, you'll want to rotate it backwards 45 degrees first before doing anything, being as it's slanted.

Thank you very much for the Control Handle update! It's really useful!

I just easily made a bone-shaped path to test it!
