>>3DS calling Fractint… Tim, Last night, I tried the basics of Nik's technique for color-cycling a GIF with AniPro. I started by bringing an existing color Fracting GIF, squeezing the palette and selecting the cluster as Nik suggested, then converted to grey-scale by building a grey ramp to replace the color cluster. The rest of Nik's technique (adding frames, T, no FIT, Arrange/Cycle) did the trick. I didn't like the hard-edge effect of a black-white palette when the flic repeated, so I then modified the cluster to add little reversed greyscale ramp at the end of the cluster (ramping back down to black) and rebuilt the flic – looked much better. However, for the "bubbling" effect I think you want (which I want too, now that you thought of it!), I may try creating a series of shorter cycles, forwards and backwards, and try to make them look somewhat random. J K J PS: I just saw Jack's message on the same subject – more things to try!
