- To make the script easier to understand I have commented it with
- text in brackets. It is not required. Commands must be on a line
- by themselves without comments.
- If you want to leave a command but deactivate it, you can do this:
- A_CT1NAME the word is now changed and not a command
- A good way to learn how to use scripts is to alter the examples.
-
- Steps used to make the 3D GRAPH appearing in the picture:
- 1) Loaded c:\anipaint\objects\3Dgraph.pnt into a window
- 2) Used Color Replacer eraser and made back of graph a different color
- but left lines. (R color white, L color black)
- 3) Did the same for bottom of graph but increased color from
- dark green to light. (L color black, R color green +2)
- 4) Selected a start Right Color for gradient.
- 5) Used the 3D bars Icon option and entered : width 30,
- height assorted, depth assorted, gradient: yes
- 6) Put bars on graph.
- 7) Entered text, cut & pasted into position
- 8) Loaded PCX picture into a window then "cut poly" a sky scene.
- 9) Used Bluescreen Icon and pasted clip onto back of graph
- (replaced only the color white on the back board and numbers).
- 10) Added Title, Bullets, and Text.
-
- Whole Process took approx 30 minutes. Would be much shorter the
- second time. Save often, and use those clips.
-
- I have not included any ACT2 animation in this script. Act2 animation
- is 320x200 and the filesize is over 60,000 bytes per frame. I am
- limiting the size of this release in order to allow it to be
- transferred by modem in a reasonable period of time.
-
- You can create your own ACT2 animation and add it to this script
- or create a new one. See the AniPaint Documentation.
