Title: Creating ani's frame-by-frame
Post by: QXMX on April 22, 2001, 05:14:00 pm

Is there a program(besides TS)that allows you to arrange ships and move them according to a predesigned flight plan(to create ani's)

Not to create ANIs, which are Volition's proprietary (sp?) format. AVI, maybe.

But you can create .ani's from any rendered file sequence  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Try Hypercam. It should be able to do continuous screen capture for you.

Forgot the link, but Google should find it for you.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I make my ANI files with good ole Paint Shop Pro 5, AC ANI (or Ani Builder), and Modelview.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Sometimes I take actual screenshots from the game and make an ANI (you'll definately need Ani builder if you want to do that).
