NEED TO KNOW FPS RATE!!!
Message #77892
< I have made 1/4 screen versions of my animations (using the half size function under the effects menu of Animator Pro; however, I still think that that is a 640×480 flic)> You are right. I am starting a new thread, "Tips on Half Size," with more information. Hope it…
You can easily do it with WinCim.
Tips on Half Size
Message #77890
Some information regarding half size. Running half-size MUCH faster: Set your screen size to 320×200 first. The increase in speed can be dramatic. I just timed how long it took to "half-size" a 1024×768 FLC at screen sizes of 1024×768 and at 320×200. It was 5 TIMES faster at 320×200…
– CLIP the CEL – Save the CEL – Load the CEL as FLC – Save it as a FLC. Ed
Boy, you are posting them fast! In SILVER.ZIP, could you change the KEYWORD KELLERMA to KELLERMAN Thanks.
It may not be possible to achieve exactly what you want. Some things to try: – put your picture in a CEL and PASTE it on the background using glass ink – or put the background in a CEL and PASTE it on the picture using glass ink I have…
Thanks.
I have observed the smaller size only when getting the CEL by CLIPPING. In my case, the clipped CEL has always been smaller (at least 2.5K). I would say I've seen it about 100 times. It might be related to the hardware I'm using, the types of FLCs I do,…
Thanks, nice evalustion! ——————————————————————————- — For Steve Worley ( in case he monitors this forum) I got your book about IMAGINE 2.0 about a year ago. I would like to exchange the diskette that came with the book from the Amiga version to the PC version. Please send to: Ed…
< in an Anim Cel, you need to know the x,y position of the cel for pasting purposes.> Well, that adds to the mistery, since then, the cel require more disk space. Yesterday, I cheched a 1024×768 FLC that required over one meg of disk space. The clipped CEL required…
#File size
Message #76215
I have noticed that it takes about 3K less to store a CEL, than to store the equivalent FLC. That is, a CEL created by clipping FROM ALL the frames of a FLC, is smaller than the FLC. The CEL appears to be usable as a FLC. Does anyone know…
#Imagine vs 3D Studio
Message #72192
Hi. How does Imagine for the PC compare with 3D Studio?
Corel4 upgrade
Message #76116
Thanks! You are right. I never gave it a second thought, just followed the masses. (Apparently, Corel Customer Service is handling it this way, there are dozens of requests like mine, that's how I determined what to do.) |

No room in libraries
Message #73827
I have signed on twice, last night (4am) and today, to upload a FLC, and was told by the server that there was no room in the libraries. Just in case you didn't know ,
Where do students purchase 3D Studio and what are the requirements (must they be taking a 3D Studio course at the time?). Is this same discount price available to Multimedia Instructors?
I'd be very interested in seeing your article, I haven't seen "PC Home" in the local bookstores. How could I get a copy?
Be glad to help.
Some time ago I created a 4 frame FLC, with Animator, of lava flowing down a hill. It's available in "What's New" as LAVA68.ZIP. If it's in the ballpark of what you need I wouldn't mind trying to do bubbly stuff. What's your deadline?
Could you clarify what you mean by a tileable map?
Excuse for jumping in, but you seem to be refering to something useful (menu.flc?) Is it? Where is it?
How does this stuff compare with WINCIM.

#Gorbachev and me
Message #71080
For so me time, I've wanted to share with you the story of my affair with Animator. I first learned about Animator several years ago, when I read that it had been selected as one of the best products of the year. That's when I bought my first copy. You've…
Autodesk will send you manuals. Probably, as soon as they see your message. If you are interested, I do POCO programming for a reasonable fee.
Wishlist
Message #70058
I saw in a message in lib 6 that the deadline for the Wishlist for 3DS is April 94. What is the deadline for the Wishlist for the next release of Animator?
Thanks! Let me know how it works out.
#Screen Savers with FLC
Message #69739
I just downloaded your screen saver. Setup (under desktop) does not do anything Should there be an EXE file included? A couple of points: The file in "What's New" is called SSFLIC, not SSFLIC10. Under READ.ME you might want to add that it is necessary to re-start WINDOWS, before FLIC…
#Fractal Island 2
Message #69731
************************************************************************** Warning: Do not leave ELEMENT set to CEL in the OPTICS menu when done. Otherwise, if you later try to use the OPTICS menu, at a time that you do not have a CEL, AniPro will ABEND (it has happened to me on PS/2s, a ZEOS and a DELL)…
#Possible Add On?
Message #69691
When are the wishlist items for the next AniPro release due?
#Deskjet Driver
Message #67548
Does anyone know where I can find a Deskjet driver for FLIPAPER?
I have been looking for a way to profit from my FLCs. I am very interested. You can locate samples of my work in library 9 (What's New) using the keyword KELLERMAN.

CLIP in POCO
Message #64258
How do I CLIP (an animated cel) using POCO? That is, when "T" is on, how do I prevent the program stopping and displaying the "FRAMES" screen.
AniPro/3D Studio
Message #56540
Is AniPro used much on its merits in the real world (where $s trade hands|), or is it mainly used to complement 3D-Studio? I am only familiar only with Animator, and would like to understand what features it provides to 3D-Studio users. Thanks!
POCO syntax?
Message #56539
I am in trying to learn POCO (and C), and would appreciate some help (Martin Foster, you around?). I tried the example for TweenGetStart on pg 23 of the Addendum to the Ref manual. To make it work I had to use: int ptcount, *x, *y; instead of: int *ptcount,…
#Animator Pro Doesnt Work
Message #56021
Mark: No problem. DBLSPACE.BIN is loaded by DOS before the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT are executed. You can also bypass execution of AUTOEXEC and CONFIG if you press F5 right after DOS starts (within 2 seconds) .
What happens if you boot up without an AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS? (temporarily rename them)
Judy >>I did a map in 320×200. I then loaded it into a 1024×768 screen size. But when I try to do an Exapand X2, the marque box only covers one corner of the map image. I though that it should scale the entire image. If you just switch to…
>>I have drawn an image of a man and wish to animate him by rotating the arms and legs, leaning the body forward, etc. I want to be able to rotate at the hips and knees/shoulders and elbows. How do I take this cel and produce other cels that will…
>> Your program would definetly need to have a loop Martin: OK. I guess I can loop a frame at a time in the case of "paste." I don't see what can be done for clipping an animated cel in POCO though. I expected there to be a command equivalent…
PS/2 graphic drivers
Message #55036
Any other ideas. there must be a bunch of PS/2 users out there!
>> make sure the "next cel" button is in on the render dialog box. This will increment to the next frame of the animated cel Martin: It don't work for me. Below is my entire program: // "Smoothing" over time (frame to frame) – // Ed Kellerman 93-08 main() {…
#Missing Contribution
Message #55018
My 2 recent contributions: "Backhoe Transmogrifications #1" and #2 where submitted as different examples of the same animation technique. I didn't mean to make it appear as if one was supposed to replace the other one. Sorry for the confussion. Should I re-submit the one that is missing?
>> Just post a message to sysop in the wishlist section … Done. Next POCO question. When PASTing an animated cell, how does one do RENDER ("T" is on)?
POCO: Stretch
Message #54850
Wuold like to see "Stretch" available in PO|CO.
#Stretch Ink
Message #54808
>>> Is there a POCO statement for "stretching" a cel? >>I'm curious. What are you trying to do? I've written some POCO programs and maybe I can help. Martin, thanks for the offer. I needed a macro that streched a cel a fixed percentage prior to pasting it. I wasn't…
