Using PC ANIMATE PLUS for windows I wanted to do an animation of an aiplane, which I had done with 3D WORKSHOP, flying through an evening sky. When loading the sky into the frames in PCA as a background and then importing the plane *.ani the colors of the plane are changing. Also when loading the plane first into the animation, which works fine, and then importing the sky picture, the sky turns out to be in weird colors. I know it has to do with the palette colors, nut I cant't figure out how to import a new object in its real colors even the background or other objects don't change their colors. Please who can help ?? Georg

BTW I also counted the colors of the two objects with another programm : The rendered plane *.ani from 3D WORKSHOP has about 49 colors and the sky background I wanted to use for this PC ANIMATE PLUS animation has 132 colors. So this must in the resolution of 265 colors ? I tried to copie different palettes into another (with copy, paste cut etc) or into the different frames, I also combined these two object with a paint program into one image and loaded it to get the palette of both, but this didn't work too. I tried to do it also with CURTAIN CALL but there is also the same problem. So please can you tell me, how do I combine two seperate images or animations with two different colors palettes into one animation film. In this case a plane (rendered with 3D Workship) flying over a background of an evening sky ( a *.gif file) Georg Henrich
