- Anim Method (Anim Menu)
-
- There are two methods that DPaint uses in creating animations:
-
- COMPRESSED Allows many more frames in memory at once. This method saves
- only the differences between frames.
-
- ADVANTAGES: allows for more frames
-
- DISADVANTAGES: slower while animpainting, loading and saving and more
- likely to run out of memory due to memory fragmentation
-
-
- COMPRESSED METHOD IS THE DEFAULT
-
-
- EXPANDED Allocates memory to hold complete information for each and
- every frame.
-
- ADVANTAGES: animpainting is very smooth. memory will less likely run
- out as elements are added to the animation within the
- allocated frames.
-
- DISADVANTAGES: requires more memory than compressed method.
