Gary,
I need to bring an image into the Keyframer as a background and animate
over it. Is there any provision being made for this function? Most, if not all,
cell animation is done using a color image as a background reference for
positioning. I'm wondering why the 3DS world is without this extremely
essential tool. I'm assuming you know that Alis, Soft Image, etc. can import a
.pix image into their animation window, but not 3DS. Can't the greyscale image
function in the shaper be put into the keyframer?
This brings up the match perspective feature. In Crystal Topas's match
perspective you can bring in any color image and match that perspective with
points in a simple wireframe. Then the software shifts the viewpoint and
perspective to match. The color picture stays there for reference. You can
bring in a sequence and match a move perfectly. Will 3DS R4 have this
capability?
Hopefully, Sanford
