1-It would be good if rotation interpolation type (Euler/Quat) were selectable for all objects, not just bones. 1 (also) It would be great to have something like A:M where you can have internal representation/interpolation as Quats, and still edit the curves as Euler in the IPO editor. We also reall...

hehe, yes there's that too- however I recommend the essentials book first, unless you already know the basics.

sounds like you're trying to do too much in the NLA; the NLA is for mixing several actions; each action can have multiple poses, so I would animate all the poses of one action in the action editor, not the NLA; then , if you want (for instance) to repeat that action, you would go to the NLA. there a...

yes- you have to animate the energy of the light (press "I" in the light buttons), or look in the IPO curve editor for the lamp. You can get faster responces to this type of question at www.blenderartists.org; it is a user oriented forum , whereas this is more oriented towards coding/developing blen...

well, I can answer one question at least: the mouth open/closed issue. the reason is that blender < 2.44 had a bug with action constraints- you sometimes had to enter the wrong values to make them work. Old rigs had wrong values in the constraints to workaround the bug. When you go to the new blende...

you can work around linear vs. bezier by using bezier interpolation and vector handles for "linear" keys, and auto handles for 'bezier" keys. Of course, there is no way to simulate constant keys with bezier handles- if you need to mix both types and you're lucky, you can use parenting with two diffe...

you know you can already change that in the user preferences, right?

Hi, to get sound in dapper working (albeit with a different setup) check this bug report in dapper
might do the trick.

aqsis and pixie are both inferior to the internal renderer. I'm sorry to sound so 'combative' in reality I'm not. Both are reyes renderers, with capabilities to do micropoly displacement which blender doesn't have. But aqsis doesn't do raytracing, and doesn't have as many or as flexible shadow optio...

you have no idea how good a donut sounds right now.

they are hotkeys to change the layer... only problem there is for laptop users who have emulate numpad on- they lose this ability.
It may be that the intersection of the set of users with emulate numpad on and the set of users who switch layers during edit mode is empty, though.

Oooh ideasman awesome! or, I should say, awefull! I was going to avoid UV mapping my buildings, now you leave me no choice
thanks, great idea/enhancement.

in addition to the (as yet unreleased) manipulators, I hope you are aware of middle mouse clicking during a transform to constrain to x,y,z axis?

It's not a reasonable request. Why the hell shouldn't the devs "advertise" in the app? they should be rightfully proud of their baby, and want to promote it. For a free app this is even more important; people may come across an app in their distro or installed on a pc, and want to know where it came...

perhaps instead of the blender logo, it should say "Luxorosity 3D suite"
