Title: Made a little animation :)
Post by: DragonClaw on January 29, 2002, 06:13:00 am: Decided to try and make an animated beam, so this is what I got... I'll be making the beam color more defined though, don't know why the green part isn't very noticable.

I hope you like it

P1mper =P

Yea, sorry about that tho, forgot (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)
Any future renders will probably be done using KMN's background, it fits my needs and all (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
I'll probably be using that until I make my own that is (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

I just have the option for which codec to use when I choose how to save the anim...

And sandwich I'll think about it, I'll have to ask around for how to do 3d meltings and explosions

Yeah, the beam charges up a little too fast I think, but looks great.

the animation is short yet excellent; all you need is the beam sound fx and it'll be even cooler. Hey you could even have a short animation of your corp name.

Keep it up (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Post by: Stryke 9 on February 01, 2002, 09:39:00 pm: Love those files I can't decompress!

There are reasons why animations are rare here, and only one of them has to do with the difficulty of making them...
