Anim8or Community

I've just posted a very simple tutorial for building a house, hope you find it useful.

My advice is use anim8or until you feel you need things which aren't available.  I first tried blender, didn't have a clue, used anim8or for a while until I needed hair and cloth with my models so switched to blender.  The background anim8or gave me was invaluable, a great stepping stone.  If you want to try blender first I'd recommend the Essential  Blender book.  Hope that helps.

What version of Anim8or are you using?  You need version 0.96 to be able to load .obj .mtl files.

Makehuman uses .obj files with a .mtl materials file.  You need the 0.96 version of Anim8or to view the materials.  Hope this helps

Thank you for a wonderful program, I wanted to try my hand at modelling and looked at several programs but Anim8or is certainly my favourite.  I've made a few simple models so now want to try some animation.  I'm a bit unclear about frame rates, is it just a question of higher is better quality/slower render or are there other things to take into account?  I think I remember reading somewhere that film animation is 24 fps, is that the best to use?  Any help would be appreciated.
