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.

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

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.

RIVE -- Still annoyed there was never a trigger to stop or pause wavs.

Oh_Man -- tthen u come to SCBW and it's like - upload WAV, play WAV.... sigh why cant it be that easy
[2026-7-23. : 1:40 am]
Oh_Man -- and no consistent easy to use way to then play the audio either
[2026-7-23. : 1:39 am]
Oh_Man -- where they use third party audioprogram called WWISE which basically makes adding audio extremely difficult
[2026-7-23. : 1:39 am]
Oh_Man -- i appreciate SCBW's ability to just let us upload and play WAVs so much compared to nightmare that is total war warhammer 3
