the grills are boxes, i extruded the faces out a bit, then pinched it in, extrude, pinched, extruded, pinched to make them simplier, they seem to be a vast improvement on the old grills. i'm working on a model now, it has a bunch of points and i can see polys, its all extruded from a single sphere which i think is pretty impressive. how can i get a handle on its complexity?
in another note, how do i get the texture to apply in something more complicated. it only is applying to the head part, not the body parts that i made from the same original sphere as the head, i would like to be able to make a texture wrap this thing easily but anim8or doesn't want to do it for me.

Anim8or will do it for ye no problem. You just haven't got the knack of texturing just yet. It took me a while to suss it out. That picture light i made recently, that too was made from a single mesh, a cylinder. It's bloody amazing what you can make from a single mesh! :D Best of all, i didn't even have to break it up for texturing. That object was not perfect, as i had changed the design half-way through and the final object still had some extra poly's inside it from the original design. I shall make another version of it later. Keep it up Otto.
BTW, are you addicted to Anim8or yet? I am! :laff:

anim8or is pure visual crack

how to make an object with a front/back texture? i know the donuts in ominous bequest were done that way, but anim8or won't do it for me, if i could define the front and back sides it would be simple to texture.

The graphical 3ds > bin program from Nameless Voice's site has a 'Two Sided' option for each texture on the object.

It's not surprising this thread's doing so well. Object creation is a part of FM making and there's nowhere else at TTLG to ask for help in creating objects. This thread has got a few people interested in making their own objects, and i'm really pleased with that. Anim8or is a nice program and easy enough to use.
I'm sure this thread will go on for alot longer as taffers' start learning the program and posting screenies of their new objects and asking for help. It's a great thread and i'm glad i started it but most of all, i'm glad i started learning Anim8or.
There will be a new version of the program soon with more features. I'm looking forward to that. :D

i always thought objects were hard to make, and now i know better. this type of discussion should become a large feature of game modding as that newer games are using more complicated ojbects, and many more objects.
just finished an object, my girlfriend said she would play thief is she got to steal "cute" things.
