- Program information
- -------------------
-
- Take ONE is a universal graphics and animation program that supports a
- variety of image and animation formats and offers you a range of powerful
- tools to modify both the frames and the animation settings. Unlike most other
- image editing and processing software Take ONE's image editor has been
- desinged particularly for creating and editing image sequences as used for
- animation. Since its philosophy is not to modify large, true color
- photographic images it also allows manipulation of single pixels much more
- accurately than most other programs.
-
- Take ONE also provides a powerful animation editor for creating interactive
- cast based animations. Animations can be played stand alone in a window, or
- as screensavers. For playing back animations Take ONE provides a runtime
- module with which animations can be distributed and installed directly under
- Windows.
-
- a) Image file formats supported:
- - Windows Bitmap (.BMP, .DIB, .RLE)
- - Take ONE Frame Sequences (.BMX)
- - Z-Soft Paintbrush Bitmap (.PCX)
- - CompuServe Graphic-Interchange-Format (.GIF)
- - Tagged Image File Format (.TIF)
- - Resource Bitmaps (Images stored in .EXE, .DLL and .SCR Files)
- - Icons and Cursors (.ICO,.CUR)
-
- b) Animation formats supported:
- - Take ONE Animations (.ANS)
- - Video for Windows (.AVI)
- - Animated Cursors (.ANI)
- - Animated GIFs (.GIF)
-
- Take ONE lets you easily create frame sequences that e.g. show a thing or an
- animal in motion. A frame sequence consists of a number of (up to 256) frames
- of the same size and color depth that have only little changes between them
- which can be put into motion when played quickly one after another.
-
- Take ONE animations use such frame sequences to create up to 30 animated
- objects per animation which can all move simultaneously and independently.
- It is also possible to let an object interact with the user i.e. react on
- mouse or keyboard input. There are three different ways of defining the
- animation behaviour of an object. The sequence animation type is the easiest
- to define and suitable for simple objects. Use the path animation for
- objects with a complex movement or the cycle definition to add interactively
- to your animation.
