Title: Need someone to make ANIs! Please ;)
Post by: aldo_14 on September 04, 2001, 03:53:00 pm
For my campaign.... I want to have ~10 uniques ones (prob more - not too sure yet) for the command briefings (possibly an intro MVE - def 2/3 end MVEs', depndign on size).

The problem is that I know almost nothing about animating in TS, and i still have 6/8 ships needed for the second Episode.

I still have to make a definitve list of what is needed, but even if someone is willing to help doing 1/2 odd projects, I'd be really grateful.

I'd just need some basic stuff, flybys, and ani's like the ones updating on the NTF war (i.e. schematic node maps, etc).

As far as I know, MVE's can't be made outside of  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/v.gif), as they are some sort of unique format...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

ANI files are made out of PCXs

MVE files you can send off to volition and they'll "compress" it for you (why they can't use divx or something...*sighs*)

Usually, I'd volunteer (or somebody else would volunteer me  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) ) but this time I have to decline.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) I'm a bit busy with my own campaign these days.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

There is always a way. Here is something that might help:

Descent Network makes the tools to extract the animations and convert it to avis though you can also extract the files to a bunch of bitmaps. So then you can compile the bitmaps the way you want them set out and then e-mail a dude at Volition or VolitionWatch and they should know how to reintegrate the bitmaps into a proper file.

I would try and make them myself, but TS5 just confuses the hell out of me, and i don't really have the time at the moment.... plus I want good looking ones, so I would really appreciate the help of someone who has a clue what they're doing with this sort of thing, even if only for 1/2 of the CB anims.

To HLP people: I think this kind of info should be stored on a modding page, that would be useful coz we wouldn't have to search back in the forums to find it.
