Ok, I am trying to learn Blender, and I downloaded the newest version straight from the Blender.org website, and I can make the models and render everything fine, but when I go to replay the animation (Render>Replay Animation), it comes up with an error something along the lines of "Blender 2.63 doesn't replay animations"

GAH!

I REALLY want to learn how to do 3D animation with Blender, as I keep hearing all this GREAT stuff about it, but I can't if I can't watch my animations!

Please help!

Try this:

1. open Blender's preferences window (Ctrl+Alt+U)
2. go to tab "File"
3. set field's "Animation Player" value to "MPlayer"

Ok, tried that, but this comes up with this:

Couldn't run external animation player with command 'SOMETHING ABOUT C:/TEMP -SILENT'



I tried showing Blender where Windows Media Player is on Windows 7, but Media Player won't play it

ok, changed it to custom then pointed it to the Windows Media Player again, but it just shows the first image in the set for 4 seconds, then ends. No movement at all

it does play back you just have to make sure that you rendered it as some sort of video file like an AVI.

Ah ha! I thought that might of been the problem. Thanks!
