#Creating A Screen Saver
3 messages in this thread
Anyone,
I have been working with Autodesk products creating animations and I have found
a need for 3D animation screen savers. My problem is that I am not a programer
therefore compiling a animation that has a FLC or FLI extension into a SCR to
be compatible in windows and be selected in the control panel is unknown at
this time. My question? Is there a simple program that will compile these file
to do what I want. Or what program language could I accomplish this task.
If I posted this message in the wrong forum please repost in the correct forum
and/or advise. I have asked around in the Autodesk forums and I havn't got any
healthy response. Also if there is a software vendor forum I should try once
again please advise.
Thank you much for your time…

hi paul…i've got autodesk pro as well and find myself in the same position as
you outlined in your august request here. did you ever find a lead? i have
done some work with screencraze (screen saver generation program) BUT one is
forced to have bought the screencraze program for EACH installation of the
screen saver! obviously what you (and i) are looking for is a stand alone
conversion/generation program that makes/takes an animated file (hopefully with
import for .FLI, FLC) and lets us create an animated screen saver that's
'exportable' by itself or with a freeware utility that allows the windows
screen saver configuration to address it.
lemme know if you've gone a step further…thanks

There are several such engines around. We have developed several here at GRAFX.
In fact, we have one that allows multiple FLC, AVI, BMP and EXE files to be
chained together. Unfortunately, ours are custom and that is the business we
are in, so I can't release them. The point of my comment is that it is easy to
do and there are several share-ware versions on CIS. (Not FREEWARE!). Try
FXsave. It is one of my favorites and the author offers a commercial license
for just a few hundred bucks…
