hi i am new in this forum and havent learned all of dim3 so now to the question
:
can someone tell me how i use the animator to make a player,stuff(guns,ammoyea you know) and vehicles/mounts and flying vehicles/mounts(if its posible).
well that was all for now thanks for all helpful answers!
Animator is NOT a modler, it ONLY imports and animates
You'll want to download a modler,
http://www.wings3d.com, for instance (its free
)
I use blender,
http://www.blender.com, it's also free, but harder to learn
.
Then you'll have to make a texture as well (colors, ect) if you don't have photoshop, try
http://www.gimp.org (also free) to avoid paying $600 or so for photoshop
.
[EDIT]THEN learn to animate
.
Oh, and you have to import in obj format.
Lets say you have an arm, You want to rig it, (Rigging is adding bones to the mesh) So you select the vertices of the shoulder and go to bone and click "Create Bone" then you have to name it and give it a number thing. thats how you make a bone.
Now! to effect another bone by adjusting another you do this.
You have "Shoulder" bone and "Elbow" bone, go to the bones panel and double click on that bone. Then select he bones "Parent" as the shoulder bone, that makes it so when you angle the shoulder bone then the elbow bends with it.
Make sure you make the bone have a parent.
nice information but wings3d and blender dont works so i think i need another one
maybe becose i use OSX 10.3.9
Wings didn't work for me - a bug. try re-downloading it.
hmm..here the problem was that i try to use it and it yust quit
Make sure you download the one for your system
. Then tell us what happens (also make sure its the latest STABLE release).
And whats wrong with blender?
Did you read the quickstart guide (I didn't and was extremely confused at first :P)
same fucked problem again
have you heard about some other that is maded for 10,3,9
Wait, do you use commas where you come from that way or was it a typo?
Ya, meshwork.... 30 dollars though and I don't like it much. Google it it, I forget the site :|.
Also, could you try using the shift key?? And . , ! and ??
