Hey anim8or is just being upgraded amazingly. Thanks and congrats Steve.

You realise that for us casual lurkers that we will need a new manual with all the wonderful improvements ?

Can I ask a stupid question? Do we have an easy to use soft select at the moment?

[Raxx]

Do we have an easy to use soft select at the moment?

Indeed. Take your pillow or cat, place it on top of your mouse, and voila

[headwax]

Heh heh, very funny. I am allergic to cats so it will have to be soft pillow select then

Cheers, hope you are all well ! I haven't done any modelling for ages as I just morph commercial characters if necessary, or do something simple like wheel barrows if I cant find one in my props dept! Talk about lazy bugger eh? It's just wonderous how anim8or is leaping ahead.

ronaldefarmer: I understand the issue with the interpenetrating faces with Extrude Connected. It's a lot harder to do that it seems.

I didn't mean to say that I thought it was easy. I'm very impressed with your recent improvements.

I like the way you can now, (1163), select a point, press shift-F, and bring that point to middle of that view.
 But i also like the way, in 1162, that frameing a point also zoomed in to it.
 Is there a way to keep both options?.

 Re file extension warning. i don't get that happening on XP, but do on Win7.
 In fact, few, if any, problems on xp. I think windows 7 has a few flaws of its own, and a lot related to 'security/User account control'.

[Raxx]

Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, I don't get any file extension warnings. My account is administrator, however, and I have UAC turned off.

Btw, Headwax, soft select is in the feature request thread, Tier 1 - Object Editor, called Proportional Editing.

Running as administrator has fixed the file extension thing on Windows 7 home basic and win 7 home premium.
 I've also turned off UAC now, and no longer get those annoying popups that ask if you really want to allow this program to run. (have been considering doing that for a while, took the leap after hearing that raxx has his uac turned off).

 Probably shouldn't do that on my xp laptop tho, it's my internet connection.

 Funny thing. My internet laptop is windows xp, service pack 3, and now that xp support has been discontinued, i don't have much of a problem at all with viruses and malware.
 Just using windows firewall, and occasional scans with Malwarebytes and commodo.
 .... XP livs on....

I don`t know if its just me, but weight painting has some serious issues with me.

 I click on a bone to start the painting process but the paint tool starts painting other areas of the mesh and not where i want it to paint, so am still reverting to 0.98 stable version, is anybody else having this problem in Builds 1162 and 1163.

[Steve]

In build 1151 I changed the code to always associate the ".an8" extension with the current Anim8or .exe file.  Previously it only tried to do that when there was no association.  I can change it back with no trouble but then if you keep several versions of Anim8or around you'll have to set the association manually when you want to change it.  I can see advantages in doing it either way.

[ronaldefarmer]

Has anyone noticed a problem with the twist modifier in build 1163?

[captaindrewi]

Yeah it flattens things at the top.
so that be a bug.

[Steve]

Yes, it's a bug.  Happened in build 1125.  I'll fix it, thanks!

Fixed for next update: #098-063 - Twist modifier is broken.

[Trevor]

ok, Something broke in 1163... If a 4bit bmp is in the texture list and an8 tries to load on startup an8 will crash with an illegal opperation in glu32.dll.

So, while being able to import while running, if you close and re-open it will crash again like before and what others have posted.

Please see the following post for more info on bmp.
