Sorry, I've been away.
Pincho, thanks for your answer but what do you mean with "copy/paste one object ONTO the next". I followed the bird tutorial but I still can't see the other objects while I'm making a new object. What I'm looking for is a visual clue so I can see how my new object looks (size, proportion, etc) respect the other alreay-made objects.
Isn't it possible in Anim8or?
Thanks

are those english or portugeesse/spanish phonems. For example, in spanish the vowel 'i' always sounds like [eeh] as in 'asiento' but in english can be [ah-eeh] (as in 'like') or [eeh] as in 'figure'

General Anim8or Forum / can't see previous objects while adding objects/bones
« on: January 29, 2010, 11:00:05 am »
Hi guys, I began using anim8or just a week ago. Nice program.
I started by making a guy-model (non-realistic, rather a puppet). I have several questions, of course:
I made a very simple shape for the head with a spline and lathe (it looks like an egg, funny) Then I tried to make another object for the nose, by Object->New, but then the head is hidden. I need to see it to locate the nose propperly and make it in proportion to the head.
1) How can I see previous objects while I'm creating a new object?
Anyway, I decided to make all the body parts in the same object (naming the parts propperly: head, eye_ball_right, nose, forearm_left, foot_right, etc) Ok, I did my first model! Then I went to Figure mode. The manual says you make & link the bones, you add the objects later. Again, I can't see the objects while building the skeleton, I need that for proportions, bone positions, etc.
2) How can I see the objects while adding bones? (Yes, I know there are those two buttons to show bones+objects, but you can't see objects until adding them to the bones. What I mean is to see the object before creating the bone. Is it possible?)
Well, I did my skeleton anyway, but when I try to add the objects to the bones, there's only one object to add, of course! (the full body of the guy)
3) How can I add every body part to the individual bones?
That's all so far. Thanks in advance. Sorry for my english, I speak spanish.
PS. An idea, maybe there's some script out there to turn the body parts (messhes) into objects. It would be easier than making the body parts again.
