Anim8or Community

ok... i figured it out. The lines that separate the various viewports and the axis lines are identical, so it LOOKS like i have four view ports when I am viewing one, except when I view perspective which does not have axes.

why does the perspective view not have axes?  who cares.

I have to start looking for spline modeling stuff here. so far, mostly i just see poly/box stuff and it is the spline/patch stuff that makes this lil app so valuable. there are lots of great box modelers around (I particularly love Wings).

thanks you all for your ready response. be assured... i will have LOTS of questions.

I have been using a variety of apps and have recently started with anim8or as it promises to provide simple spline modeling which improves the 'organic' look of many things.

I visited a cuppla tutes and found that they do not necessarily match the facts... at least not of the version i am using. F'r an instance, one advises "Use the View->Top command to switch to the top view so that it fills the screen".

dunt DO that. in fact, selecting the Perspective and clicking allows for '1 view' but none of the others will. Is it me or does anim8or not allow for full screen viewports except for Perspective? Are there any detailed and recent docs anywhere?

it looks a keen app. if i can get my fingers in far enough to get going.
