Kevin, 'is it possible to morph IFF color maps in Imagine?'. I don't
think so, not if you're thinking what I think you're thinking.
If you mean, can I assign MAP.1 (image) to an object in frame 1, and MAP.2
to an object in frame 10, and have Imagine automatically slowly change the
first image into the second over 10 frames, then the answer is NO. There's
no program (with limited exception of DPaintIV) that can morph bitmapped
images one to another (that I know of). Imagine certainly cannot.
If you mean, can I have 10 images (MAP.1, MAP.2, MAP.3,…,MAP.10) and have
them shown one after the other, then the answer is MAYBE. You *cannot* do
it for an object (ie. have the image wrap for an object change over ten
frames), but you can do it for the background image of the render (set in
the globals requestor). So you could have different images BEHIND each of
your 10 rendered objects. There are rules for how you have to name and
access those images, so check the manual.
I think above is accurate.
