Hello thar!

Alright, brief introduction and life story.
I tried to edit GRP files one time.
Now I'm scarred for life.
But I'm going to try again.

-

Alright, here's my problem. (See attached picture.)

I have a model that I created using Anim8tor. But now, I'm trying to render it (properly, or so I think; I believe I have to set my camera views to orthogonal) so that I have 17 frames for StarCraft. Unfortunately, because I'm a freaking idiot, I can only render one picture (in the attachment). So now I have a model in Anim8tor that I have no idea how to render properly.

My question is; can you teach me how to render models (specifically, models created in Anim8tor)?

-

(Later, before posting this, but only soon after I failed.)

Oh f*cking Hell. I tried using GMax to set some camera angles and etc., but then I had to freaking get this stupid GMax Rendering Suite or something, and now I have no idea what the f*ck I'm doing. Stupid, stupid... *Swears incoherently.*

ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO

Attach the model on an useable format (not anim8tor format) and I could find time and make the frames for you.
Use export function or something :P



fuck you all

(Was the "Use export function or something" a suggestion? Thanks if it is. Thanks anyways for the first line though.)

Download the Trial version of 3ds max and follow my tutorial on it.



If anything cool is ever going on Skype me up under the name "blarghle"

Aww, what am I going to do with a 30-day trial version?

Damn, I wish it were more like 720-hour trial version...

Sure, I'll do that, if it means I can get GMax off of my hard drive.

Well, Debardus deleted my post, so I'll say this instead:

Get it from someone who has multiple installation permission. These people can usually be found online -- 100% legally.

To Hydrolisk,
if I remember aright about Anim8or has got rendering features as possible to get images for SC grp
but i cant remember in the concrete where is there
i just can say for your work, if your model is just a static model then just rotate model or camera of scene
but if your model has serveral animations you need to do something complex work a little bit

for last advice, you dont have to use 3dsmax or maya such charged modellers
i think when start a modelling and making 3d, Anim8or is pretty enough to use for your work

if you have question about using the 3d modellers you can touch me by MSN or PM



None.

Ultraviolet -- let's fucking go on a madmen rage bruh

Vrael -- Alright fucks its time for cake and violence

Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I suppose there's something to that

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless
[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]
Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value
[2024-5-06. : 5:01 am]
Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Ultraviolet -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort
[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- definitely EUD

Vrael -- that is insane
