Title: ani makeing stuff
Post by: Bobboau on March 23, 2002, 06:38:59 am

I've been making a few animations lately, and I've been useing some tools I don't know if everyone is aware of, the most important of wich is a color reduction tool called bright made by the same people that brought you unreal, I made a simple batch file that calls it with the proper comand line with a variable for the name of the ani, and then it calls AC to convert it, basicly these tools and the bat mean I start the render walk away for a few days, come back start the batch walk away for a few hours, come back and a beutiful ANI is waiting for me, before this I had to convert each frame individualy in psp, and in 300 frame ANIs this is quite tireing,
well I hope this is usefull

oh and I put the three things in a zip
right about here (http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/blackwater/animaker.zip)

Uh... I think you really need to use punctuation here Bobboau.

I can't understand one thing you are saying. I'll try going through this again.

Oh.... I see. This is great. Thx.

I've been up for twenty hours, you're luck I'm makeing as much sence as I am

basicly its a color reducer\file converter + AC (V's ani maker) + a batch file to run them seemlessly, one bug of bright is that for some reason it likes to flip it's output sometimes (like when called from a batch file) I need to find a program that will autoflip the PCXs for it to be a complete system,
but the important thing in there is bright, it's a damn fine tool

and just to make sure this was made perfictly clear, I didn't make that program (bright), Epic did, they are profesionals< just made a batch file to help automate the procese
