Heyy

My name's Aaron

I have been using Anim8or for a quite some time, since i was 13. Im now 16, yet i have had a period of about a year where i havent used it at all. I recently downloaded v.95 and for some strange reason the smooth round effect that can be applied to the model just for viewing purposes still has a load of lines going around it :S also, the textures dont appear once ive applied to the model and only appear in the rendered image, animation.

1. click File>ConfigureGUI and uncheck the "Smooth Outline" checkbox

2. Go to View>Preferences and check the "Textures" checkbox in the upper part of the window...

That's all

Thanks

im sure on the last version i used to use had the texture set automatically, and for some reason i have to use the FLAT tool in order to soo the model smooth? :S shouldnt the smooth icon do this - like it used to do?

also, when i select the model it doesnt show up in a yellow box - or doesnt show indication that ive selected it at all :S

yeah that's happened to me before as well, but it passed

Ok... Open that dialog box once more (File>ConfigureGUI) and check "Bounding Boxes" checkbox...

[DressedForSucess]

Yeah - hopefully. How long did it take ?

anyway, at least i solved the last problem. Hopefully now i can start developing the graphics for my game ...

another question ... because i havent used Anim8or since v9 was released, im curious as to what the difference is between the two Renderers SCANLINE and Art Ray Tracer??

[spicy]

I'm not sure though I compared SCANLINE and Art Ray Tracer and that Art Ray Tracer was alot better renderer! It's new in the 0.97 Preview I think. DressedForSucess I can't wait to help you on your game!

[Kubajzz]

ART renderer can do ray-tracing - things like mirror reflections, lens refraction and more ray-based effects; scanline can't do this...

Read about the new features here: http://www.anim8or.com/download/preview/art_raytracer.html

Thanks

i had problems today using v9. For some reason the renderer wasnt picking up the textures

also, in v97, i use a number of lights - spotlights, mostly - but only a limited number seemed to work!  I had quite a few ... is there a limited amount to use in Anim8or? I cant see why there should be 

can anyone help?
