But when I do that, it doesn't show any light! We'll take this to another thread so we don't clog this one up.

object ..emissive material, white, set to 1
add object to scene then add a light/lamp  at the object location.
you need both and are different things.

attempted to do something similar a while ago.
not quite succeeded

But when I do that, it doesn't show any light! We'll take this to another thread so we don't clog this one up.

I would think that some things have to be rendered to see things like lighting. I use Caligari Truespace and to actually see some efects like shadows won't appear until they're actually rendered to screen or file.

I'm pretty sure this has been requested before, but it would be nice to have animation support added for a third party model export format of curret usage such as 3DS or some other common interchange format. This is the primary reason why I don't use Anim8or for many modeling projects. I've studied the layout of the native Anim8or model format and can't help wonder why the animation information can't somehow be translated in to a binary or text based format. Will this issue ever be doable? Thanks, Leroy.

[ClassicTyler]

Yes yes, I know it needs to be rendered! lol

I'll make a thread in the help section.

[ClassicTyler]

Well I think I got it figured out!
It just took a little placing and I finally got the idea to add the texture I wanted to the object. DUH TYLER.


The waves are supposed to be transparent, but the shadowing is so harsh it makes it look like a bottomless pit when rendered. But if I recall there's a script to make transparent items render shadows much lighter than regular objects? I'll look around.

Fairly minor, but I'd like to be able to change colours of lines and such in the GUI. The contrast between the rotate screen tool (as opposed to object rotation) is such on my screen that half the time I forget it's even on until I try to affect something on screen. Another case where this would be useful is when the reference image has poor contrast with the line colours.

Along with my other requests, I have to ask...

Has there been a request for a water simulator? Something in the program that can make detailed looking water effects?

Late to the party...

+1 for transparent PNG support. Or better yet AVI (per frame) textures with transparency support.

Thanks.

[Steve]

You're never too late :-) Thanks for the suggestion.

Steve, I have no feature request at the moment (except maybe, as ridiculous as it'll sound, a Mac release far down the road if at all possible), but I've got to say your dedication to this software and the community around which it revolves is fabulous. Keep it up!

+1 Rendering Speed.

[RudySchneider]

+1 Rendering Speed.

Right now, YOU actually have more control over that than Steve, since it's solely dependent on CPU speed.  There are some renderers, however, that can harness the blazing speed of graphics processors, but Anim8or ain't one of 'em, I'm afraid.

[MvGulik]

If possible, a bit more basic texture handling options.

Figure it would, for example, make it more easy to get around a general 'Texture Repeat' side/edge effect.

[ClassicTyler]

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but is it possible to look into compatibility with transparent images? Say for vegetation and such.
