Old anim8or versions?
« on: February 13, 2010, 07:28:27 am »

Anyone have any old versions of anim8or kicking around?

I found a version of 0.4 on a diskette in my basement. It brings back memories of my firs foray into the world of 3D.

Cool! I'd love to see that...

The first version I have used was 0.81, but I don't have it any more... Anim8or has done a really huge step forward since then - there was no raytracer, no morph targets, no ASL, no skinning weights... And I was so excited when I made my first stick figure ;D

even way back at version 0.4, it was still quite a well made program.

I hope Steve doesn't mind me uploading it.

To Steve:
I'm wondering if you have any copies of version 0.1 kicking around. I've always wanted to try it out.

It looks like you actually uploaded v0.9 (at least that's what the title screen says)

hmm... well that's strange. It seems like the file on the disk must have gotten mis-named.

here's an actual v0.6 that I tracked down. this is the real deal.

Haha I'm loving that version 6 .. quite a small selection of tools, no shadows etc. Anim8or really has come a long way since then..

I don't remember with which version i started.. probably somewhere around hihosilver, version .8.

i'm wondering if there's a version 0.1 floating around somewhere. I haven't had any luck locating one though...

I started around v.8 or so

And if I remember correctly, someone made a topic just like this on the old forum and someone replied with a link to a directory with every anim8or version on it.

I started searching for that directory a few months back but have had no luck thus far.

Ha wow!  It's amazing what's been done since that version.  No subdivision objects even!
I think I may have started a little after you Simon, maybe around 0.9 or so?  Perhaps 0.8, but I don't go as far back as 0.6 that's for sure!

Woah. Man, 6 is like, no offense, a toy compared to now. So few tools, (besides those four gray ones that I've never seen), and bad renderings, no subdivision... On and on.

Does the old interface still look the same as now?

Some of the same stuff, yet some differences. Just some missing icons, some added icons.
