Well I downloaded Anim80r the other day, as did my boyfriend, and after spending while trying to figure it out I came to the conclusion that it needed to be stomped on and burned and it's just plain evil like all the other 3d modeling software I've looked at and tried to understand. My Boyfriend gave it a bit more of a go and even tried to follow the tut's for it, he still couldn't get it to do a thing. I mean we couldn't even make anything. So my 14 year old (wildchild) asks what we are talking about. I tell him, he downloads the software and the little butthead is now making things!!!! Not great things, but heck he's got something on the screen and even colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm posting the object he made last night, like I said it's not much but for a kid in his first hour of playing with it I'm impressed

I guess now he will have to tutor my bf and I on how to do it...geesh I hate giving that kid a swelled head!  

You're becoming a little ancient GP !

It looks like we'll have a new 3d artist ! I see for him a lightful future, a lot of models sold, a lot of money earned (and finally GTA 4 -Vice City in the cdrom drive...)

Well done... proud mum

I've tried to persevere with anim8or for a while, but can't find the time to learn it to any useful degree. It's a great little package.

Nice work, Wildchild

Here's my first one...

Den you just want me to come to Canada and kick your butt don't ya? Well now we have to make a vacation out of this, as we also are going to Italy to kick tormies butt too  
Ozy your safe so far, other than I need an excuse to visit Australlia

 

... And here is my very first work with anim8or, just a poor imitation of Den's ship  

Well you guys just crushed my son, he says you people are "cheap" (must be a teenage word lol) How cruel you guys are to an innocent little kid, sheesh next your going to tell him there's no santa clause  

Tell wild child...Welcome to the 3D world
There really are people out there who like to do this to noobs and beginners

I was kidding...
This was my first "BIG", detailed model.  Actually, my first Anim8or model
was the "How To Make A Hand" Tutorial, back in May 2002.  After that I made small, simple props.  The steam engine was made in November, 2002.

Tormentor never made that in Anim8or.  He's full of it, right up to his brown eyes.    

If this was made in Anim8or and rendered in Poser, I know what types
of problems you would get.  You must have another piece of software to overcome what Anim8or cannot do and what the Poser rendering engine does
to 3D objects other than human forms.

OK Tormentor, how many polygons does that ship have and in what format was it saved in ?

I just made this desktop  
I'm sure there is some sort of copywrite infringment    but I looked all over the internet for one and I just couldn't find one like it......

Oh well    

   Dear Den, I simply didn't want to [color=#ff0024:6d6cf427d5]humiliate[/color:6d6cf427d5] you too much   .
It is in .pp2 format and actually I can't count how many polys it has. I have not installed anim8or (and all other programs like 3d studio and lightwave, I'm an expert) anymore because of my well known virus problems but I can assure you that they are [color=#0012ff:6d6cf427d5]a lot [/color:6d6cf427d5], and that tonight I will reinstall all things. As I said it was only my half-forbidden very first anim8or work, actually I'm working on a more complex project (I called it "the matrix"), leaving this easy works for little kids   .

Here you can see the same model, obviously rendered in Poser (Posy is on it saluting you). I can assure you that if you practice a little more with this piece of software the problems you noticed (  :? ) will disappear.

Actually I've not so much time to play with anim8or because I'm finishing a little program for calculating the orbit of the planet travelling around pulsar PSR 0329+54. I think to go to Stockholm this winter to take the right prize for this work.


(    I suppose that now Dennis Tracy is eating his mouse full of envy    and foaming with rage       )

Okay I don't know how deep it's getting in here or if I should even bother to put on my thigh high boots and attemtp to wade in, but if you both did these pictures in Anim8or then I'm duely impressed!! Wildchild now has inspriation to try and do better as well

   

Tormentor:

I'm talking about Anim8or, not 3D Studio Max, Maya, Rhino or AutoCad or anything else.

I know that you make models in 3D Studio Max and my stuff is crap compared to what 3DSMax can do.

Why would you think that you would humiliate me ?
I only make cartoon type models.

Hey Den!

It was all a joke, I never made a model with a 3d program   .

I just want to see how much time is needed to make you really incazzato (hulk)

Do you (all) have really believed I was able to make such a ship ?

I think the only one here believeing anything, is Tormentor hoping we would fall for such an obvious hoax  :
