Here's an idea that I mentioned a while back. Why not have a background and foreground script from which the foregrounds and backgrounds could be controlled on a frame by frame basis, ie., image one is for 10 frames then image two for 5 frames, etc. It would also be possible to do simple transitions from one image to another such as dissolves by implementing dual background "buffers". I'm pretty sure that an Arexx master could get this to happen now with something like Imagemaster. Just exit the port when one frame is rendered, IM would manipulate the file and save it to the same name and Lightwave would behave as if nothing had happened. Actually I gues the frame would have to be saved as the next in the sequence. I really feel that from the standpoint of graphic design, an inflexible 30 fps sequence is too much trouble for too little good. Hey, is there a utility that could be used to take one object, analyze it, then make the necessary changes to a second object so that it could morph successfully? I bet that would be a pain. Maybe someone could come up with a set of 'Morphabet' fonts with the same number and order of points and polys in each character. Hey, I got a million of them! Jim Roof
