It's times like these that I really wish I could draw decent, lol.  Nice looking swords, both of you!

Finished Works and Works in Progress / Catapult
« on: October 01, 2008, 08:13:47 pm »
Yep, due to my inability to stay on one project for a long period of time, I've switched now to working on a catapult (but I do plan on going back to work on my other projects eventually, I like to have several small projects going at the same time to switch between, lol).

It still has some work that needs to be done (such as a rope to hold it down, and many embellishments),  but here it is thus far.  The texture is a bit meh, but oh well.  :P

Thanks...Yeah, I was feeling lazy, so I made black balls to serve as targets...I forgot to make them transparent though before I rendered lol.  Thanks a lot for the advice on fixing it...The speed had looked a lot better in animator (especially near the end, it looked quite a bit smoother).

Meh...basically this is what I've been working on lately.  It's not done yet (there's still quite a bit I need to do on it) but here is what I've got together thus far.  The concept is that the little magic symbols rise up in the air, spin around, and go back down again.

I also made the mistake of animating it out thinking that it would render out as fast as it played in anim8or. >.<

Any feedback you guys can give is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot...the guide is a ton of help, and I think I understand textures a lot better now.  ;D

What do you mean 'transparent', could you show us some screenshots?

I think your texture might have been applied to the transparent channel or the percentage might have been set to a low value.

Oh, yeah, my bad.  When putting on the texture, I used it in all of the boxes...
Are there any ones I shouldn't use it in besides transparency?  I'll post a screenshot if changing it doesn't work.  Thanks a lot!


edit: I think I ended up finding the problem...
Here it is now (I think I may want to go with a darker metal texture, because here it just looks somewhat white)

I just used the image in a texture map..Is this going to cause any problems later on in the process, or did I do the right thing?  Thanks for your help.  Enclosing a screenshot this time  :D

Okay, thanks a lot.  One problem though..when I apply the textures, they look transparent in the render...are there any good tutorials for applying normal textures?

Meh...I'm new here, and a beginner at anim8or.   Here is a model of a knight/suit of armor I'm working on. I'll be able to animate it and what not once I finish all the parts (I've already attached everything to a skeleton). Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks a lot! :)
