Modeling in Anim8or

Oh definitely! More, please.

I do have a couple of questions about when you're drawing and sometimes you get the little green squares:

How do you get your red square back from that point?

What are they for? Obviously dragging the line around some but you have to be really careful with them or you just might as well start over. Are these for once you've finished drawing your spline and you want to manipulate it?

You would be correct! The center green point is the master point that you will drag to change it's position while the two others connected to it are guides so that you can remember the original position of your splines should you change your mind.

You can continue creating splines by going to the end spline "red spline" and keep drawing. It is always better to avoid moving points until you have your basic design because sometimes picking back up where you left off can be tricky.

Lol...yes, I noticed that...the 'tricky' part. Thanks dRaCX :)

I noticed something last night whilst playing in Anim8tor that I hadn't before. It was an "Aha! There you are!" moment.

I was always wishing that when you moused over a tool, it would say what it was. Well, it DOES! It's down at the bottom left corner of the screen along with the hotkey for it.

Uh...I knew that was there...Really I did!
