one thing i typically do to render an animation is pick an encoder along with your movie format. for example advanced render/format/avi movie, then click “options” and under “compressor” tab i get a list of encoders my system has and i pick my “divx” encoder. that’s all it should be. as long as you’ve picked a format,encoder, and the amount of frames to render, and a place to render it, you should not have a problem. hope this helps.

thank you thank you, i will try and if it doesn’t look the way i want i can use your example model instead (just kidding i’m not that damn lazy). you’re the only serious response i’ve had. i take it you traced with splines around image then extrude, then put under hypernurbs and turn to polygon object?. or maybe not, you have a cube that you just extruded and shaped?, i’m not sure how you have a cube and did not have to trace around the image. and how else would you round up the part where your hand grips a little more. not to bother you, i’m just really picky in wanting to learn everything about modeling polygons. i’ve only got a year or so not full time into the software. most of my time is welding and machining but i love software too.

i will send you an example of a rifle i am modeling minus the textures, so ignore texture errors but you can use the example. on one part of the scope i used spline wrap to get the numbers on the power adjust. it’s a plenty good example and works. it’s under “scope/text for power knob, in the hierarchy . to tell the “mograph spline wrap” which circle to use just drag the circle from the objects manager into the “spline” under the spline wrap object.then its just a matter of rotating the axis of the extrude nurbs and the spline wrap, using the scale tool to get the circle spline to get your diameter, and changing the “offset” and “from” in the spline wrap object to get the look you want. just look at the cd4 file it’s easier to explain.
