Okay, first of all, lets get this clear. I do NOT use 3DS max and don't know if I ever will. But if you don't want to use 3DS Max either and you just want to simply vertex hack, here is a video tutorial I made to show everyone the gist of the way I do it. And even though I'm editing a stage in the video doesn't mean that the same methods don't apply to character, because they do. Everything in this video will show you how to vertex hack with just Anim8tor! So here it is, sorry for the low audio. And sorry for the length(23 mins!)
Go HERE (http://www.vimeo.com/13069149) to watch the video. I suggest that you let it load before watching it. And I hope it helps some future vertexers out there!
And HERE (http://www.mediafire.com/?emycif7aautuanw) is the DasDonkey Vertex Box that works with Anim8tor, which is also included in there.
Yo, nice guide, it helped me alot but do you know of any way to fix the problem that makes the vertices pan out endlessly?
Yea, that means that you have the wrong version of DasDonkey vertex box, there are two different versions, one that works with 3DS max and one that works with animator, I was supposed to post the link to the one that works with animator, but i guess I didn't by accident, I will post it at the end of my first post soon. And thanks for the feed-back!
EDIT: I put the link in my first post just read the last sentence.
I was tearing my brains out at this for quite awhile, thanks, this gives me ALOT of possibilities. TO THE BRAWL BOX!!
lol =) Your welcome, I hope that you can make some cool vertexes.
finally, vertexing without 3ds(never saw this guide)...going to watch vid....
Yay! I'm not the only person that doesn't use 3DS Max now! Haha I hope you can understand it and I hope it helps you learn. ;D
what do you do if anim8or that it stopped woking when you try to open it?
Ummm... I'm not quite sure, seeing as its never happened to me before, but just download THIS (http://www.anim8or.com/download/animv095c.zip) . It's the newest version of Anim8or straight from their website. See if that works.
