heres a wip of the great german battleship, bismark:

[spicy]

Good start for a newb! I like it. I like the guns at the back of the ship. By the way, when you rendered the image did you turn antlaised? That get's rid of bad edges when rendering the image and gives it a more better look. Menu>Render>Turn on Antlaised. Looks cool though. How long have you been using anim8or?

[thehalflifedude]

um... for like 2 years now....

EDIT: heres a annoying bug that makes it hard for me to enjoy making bismark: know what could be causing this?

look on the left, ignore the reference image i am using for the bismark

[spicy]

What bug? All I can see is that you must be using a reference image? I also see that all the buttons are selected, is that the bug you was on about? Sorry, can you explain your self a bit more. Welcome to the forum by the way

[thehalflifedude]

I also see that all the buttons are selected, is that the bug you was on about?

yeah, it's really hard for me to know what button i was last using, so i end up hitting random buttons and screwing up my model, then all of a sudden the buttons are all back to normal.

I believe I've had that bug before, I'm not sure exactly what the problem was.  What version are you using though?  More recent versions haven't given me any of those troubles.

[spicy]

Yeah that has happened to me a few times. I don't know what it is or what causes it. All I do is click on drag select button, drag select and it goes back to normal. It happens quite a few times for me. Don't know why though. How may times does it happen to you?

0.9.5.0 is what it says when i use the right click menu
(right click, properties, version:

it happens often. i don't know how many times, but it probably won't go away.

I am using v97 preview version and it still happens to me. Not very often though, only a few times a day

[thehalflifedude]

I am using v97 preview version

me too, mabye it might have to do with our video cards or somthing? i have a onboard video card which runs really slow if using opengl, so making bismark has a really low fps, if i increase the fps in settings, it actually runs slower.

[spicy]

I don't think it's video card, anim8or's graphics come from the CPU not the video cards (I am sure it does, that is what I was told). I don't think the bug is from the video card, I am unsure. Maybe Steve knows?

[thehalflifedude]

well let's just push all that aside, after all, i can just make a new topic about the 2 annoyances. now back to the bismark.

EDIT: new image:

[spicy]

Back to the Bismark indeed! Are you going to add some textures to it once it is completed?

[thehalflifedude]

if i can FIND some textures. it's really hard to find textures for a legendery battleship that was sunk to the bottom and not many people would take pictures of it in time on the internet

[spicy]

Okayyyy! Well why don't you surf the internet for other battleship textures. It will all look the same, just make sure the textures look simular
