#Help with MakeAnim
8 messages in this thread
HELP! I am just beginning to play with some animation and run up
against a wall to start with. Using MakeAnim (latest version in the
libs here) and lo res HAM frames. the first frame comes out find but
every frame after the first is garbled real bad, with what looks like
black and white snow. All the frames load into dpaint fine but
makeanim screws them up. Any hints or ideas what I am doing wrong?
ya might be running outta chip ram is all I can figger,how much memory ya
have?Both Chip and FASt
Peter,
I do not think that is it..I have 4 megs, 1 chip, 2 16 bit fas and 1 32
bit fast, this has happened on 3 different anims I have been working with,
all have been 15-20 frames lo res ham. I finally got he horsepower to play
wih this kinda stuff (GVP 030) and want to see if it is worth sinking some
money into for software but I can't even get started!
Thanx for your prompt reply. ..Steve
Very Bizarre Must be Large Delta differences I guess I sometimes have that
problem as well when making Anims that are VERY different from one frame to
the next.Try getting a newer version of Makeanim tho to tell the truth I
usually use Animbuild and have had little trouble and I only have a measly
512k of Chip Ram(8.5 k of Fastram)
Peter,
Again thanx for the quick reply. Is animbuild here in the libs? I seem
to remember mention of a GUI type of animation maker, but can't rember the
name of it… I have catologed the entire animation library and don't see
any references to anything other than makeanim for making animations. I am
starting o get real interested in this but can' ge off of ground zero 🙁 .
Thanx

steve,
I think you'll find animbuild in lib 12 of amigaarts, keyword
"animbuild", its a collection of four utilities for working with
anims. It's a very convienient program to use, more of a "point
and click" type of application, makes generating file lists easy.

David,
I found it right after I posted my last note to you, have been harried
for time the last few days and hacve not had a chance to play with but
briefly and run ito a snag with it too (it is rendering more than one
usable frame though) so I guess I got to read the docs. Again thanx for
taking the time to respond….CI$ is a great place to meet people just glad
for whap!. Thanx again,
