The free version is in the downloads section - and you get what you pay for in my opinion.

You'd be surprised what you can achieve with Anim8or if you practice.

This error happens when you have faces without coordinates.
To correct you need to select the face without coordinates and click in the uv button (in Anim8or). I don't know if there is simpler way to correct this. :p


I made something like a tutorial but I still need the name of the guys that made the programs to object conversion. :sweat:
I think that most of them were made by Nameless Voice.

You can download the programs (http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/andogl/proobj.zip) here

______________________________________________________________
To transform an object from .ani

1-Open your object in anim8or
2-Click object > export...
3-Save your object in .3ds

4-Open "3ds to bin"
5-Open you 3ds object
6-Click "Go!"
DONE!

____________________________________________________________

To see your object in dromed:

1-Create one commom object
2-Click properties
3-Add >shape > model name > (your object file' name)

______________________________________________________________

To transform from .bin to .3ds:

1-Open "3ds to bin"
2-Click Open
3-Chose the .bin file
4-Click Open and "3ds to bin" will load the file
5-Click Save (Save it as .3ds)
Done! Now Anim8or can import it!

_______________________________________________________________

About "3ds to bin":

It is a program made to use small dos programs for object. They were made by many Thief masters [ I lost the names :-( ].
I placed "3ds to bin" and all the little programs that it need in a file called "proobj.zip".
I am not sure if all the little programs are there, sorry :-P.

1-Open proobj.zip
2-Unzip all the programs in your Thief 2 folder

*If it doesn't work or if "3ds to bin" need another program please tell me.

_______________________________________________________________

Tips about "3ds to bin" (You can find more in "3ds to bin.txt"):


Shader: Phong= Make the texture looks smoth (I don't know if this is the right word) :sweat:
Gouraud= It isn't working :-P
Phong Gouraud= It isn't working :-P

Trans= Make the object transparent (%)

2-sided= Sometimes when you delete a face in Anim8or it will look in game "ok at one side but
trasparent at the other side". If you check "2-sided" it will correct the problem.
But it will render 2x more polygons in that texture :-P.

_____________________________________________________________________________

About .e files:

You can edit them useing notepad.
They are usefull when you just want to change the name of the textures or something this way.

____________________________________________________________________________________

About textures:

You can only use textures are 2x. Like: 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 64x128, 32x256, 256x256,...
I am not sure, but I think that 256x256 is the max.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

About scale in Anim8or:

1 unit in Anim8or = 1 unit in dromed

Normally my objects in Anim8or are too big in dromed. So I need to return to Anim8or and use the scale tool
to make them smaller.
