Drawing with Splines with Martin Hash's Animation Master

Basic Tips, Tutorials on Modelling in Splines

 

Although this page has a new logo and front page, this page is much as it was before, just typos corrected,
and the Coil tutorial is a new version of the older one. There is a new downloadable Texture actions, for Photoshop Users.

9/9/98 'Tree' tutorial added.

Animation Master has gone through many versions, (most of these tutorials were created with v4, v5 )
But these tips should work on current versions of AM98,
as the modeller is basically the same, just the interface has changed through each upgrade.
A basic knowledge of the manual is essential. ie attatching splines, grouping etc.
