Thank you for the tutorial, I am trying to save an animation which has a background (world) with a shade, I am unable to capture the colors of the world in my quicktime movie, why is that?

[hamsterhill]

@pisceanza is it comming out black and white? you probably changed the setting without realiseing... under where you changed the setting from jpeg too quicktime there are 3 buttons at the bottom that say BW,RBG and RGBA your's will be on bw =black and white... so change it too RGB ... rgba is if you want too have an invisible background but i don't think that works for quick times...

every time i save something in blender it overwrites everything else so when i open a different file the model pops up please can suggest why

[hamsterhill]

you mean when you press I to save a keyframe? you need to press side or up to move forward some more frames... if your problem is that your animations are saveing over eachother then once they are rendered move them to another folder and/ or change there name. you can give it a name before you render when you select what folder you render too.

thanks very much.I made my animation by your tutorial' s help.Now I have a question,If I save my animation to be a named" 1.avi",But how can I use it to my game engine in blender.I mean how can I open or show a movie?

[hamsterhill]

hmm... i'm not sure exaclty how to get it into the game engine.... your best bet wouldbe to research how to do animated textures in the game engine and see if there are any tutorials or anything out there

and like on 5:58, how do you move the screen so you can see it all? I left click and it kind of like draws a line and either rotates it or moves it...the cube, not the dotted screen.

[nera789]

is it like on the keyboard bc I don't see it...and is there a way to get to that window playback spot w/o numpad0 or something?

[nera789]

I know this is kinda a stupid question...but...

where is numpad0?

[BenPersonIsCool]

Do you know how to save it within blender? Like have 5 different animations IN blender so I can bind them with a key, like a reload animation, and then a running animation. Etc.
