Is it possible to let rayman render a sequence of images from a .3ds file? If there's a way, I can't seem to find it.

RayMan release 1.0 can`t render animation. You could try the following: – generate a sequence of 3DS files (for e.g. SCENE000.3DS, SCENE001.3DS and so on…) – make a rnder-batch file like: RAYMAN SCENE000.3DS MYINI.INI RAYMAN SCENE001.3DS MYINI.INI … This is just an idea. I don`t know whether it works or not. You might have a little different anti-aliasing from image to image but I`m not sure. Try it out and tell me what happend… Michael

Hi Michael, I had thought of doing the sequence-of-.3ds files for animation. but I was hoping that there might be another way. I'll give it a try though (it'll take a while) thanks -Kyle

Hi Kyle, much luck. I`m looking forward to see the resulting .FLC. BTW: I wanted to write a script to automate the saving of the sequenced .3DS files but I haven`t enough time. Maybe anyone out there can write such a script… Michael

Michael, << I`m looking forward to see the resulting .FLC.>> so am i 🙂 Actually, It's going to be even more complicated than I thought – I'm animating with bones. – individual meshes for each deformation instance. yummy! -Kyle

Uuups. That sounds complicated! But try a basic scene with a glas and a ball that rolls slowly behind the glas. Very very interesting effect. After you did it look for a job that wants exact this animation <bg>.

Michael, <<look for a job that wants exact this animation>> (g) Maybe I should do three spheres – one red, onre green, one blue – all moving around on a checkerboard floor, with a teapot in the background, with a mancelbrot image for the sky. talk about a CG cumpolsory image (g). -Kyle
