I would like just two things...
« on: April 12, 2010, 09:45:35 am »

I would love a ruler tool. This would be great for realistic modeling, especially if one could specify custom measurements. An ASL would be nice, but it would be useful in all the modes, not just object.

"Locked Mesh"... the ability to lock all (or some) of the points in a mesh (and back again) which would also be useful in realistic models.

Otherwise (and anyways) GREAT job on Anim8or Steve!

I agree heartily, a 3D ruler in Meters would be awesome when making things to scale.

Yeah, I'd like it to work like the "New Line tool". Kinda like Google SketchUp has.

I'd like support for PNG and animated GIF textures.

I told Steve some time ago. Some avi support would be gold :) (as background and texture mode, without using extern plug-ins)

Another 2 things, show where some of the rays go from the camera and the lights when reflected, and have a front and back toggle in figure mode like in object mode for the purpose of skinning... Both would help immensly when doing complex projects.
