Need Help Making Shell Animations
Sunday, August 24, 2008 by Xiandi | Discussion: Skinning
I want to make shell animations for a blind I'm working on.
I've looked through the forums, and all the references to making .avi files are for outdated skinstudios or for programs I can't afford.
Is there a free program to make .avi files? Can I make them as .png files and convert them somehow? Help!!

No it dosent and rle8 compression looks like crap for anything remotely advanced...
But there is a significant size difference.. from megs to kb's
Blackruby uses RLE8 with dither looks ok but not perfect..
Blackbird dont use RLE8 but... i made some crappy animatons on that one
but thats not the point look at the sizes of the blinds ^^ 4mb vs 10mb

You should check out the animations in 3D Metal WB it took me forever just to render but RLE8 never messed with the quality much but the 256 color pallette for the .gif now that has caused havok several times.
