- No problem, just use LightWave!!.........No I don't mean for rendering.
- Go into LightWave and load your IFFs as an Image Sequence (just give
- the file name prefix). They will have to be named something like:
- pic001, pic002, pic003, etc. Then in the Background window/menu, select
- that sequence as your background image. Next set camera resolution to
- medium resolution and overscan on. Now in the Scene window, enter the
- appropriate start and end frame numbers. Finally, in the Record window,
- you can either use Save Frames or have it record the frames to the MII
- unit on the fly. Kick it all off by hitting Render in automatic mode.
-
- The other option is to use the supplied ARexx scripts to control Toaster
- Paint in a batch fashion. However, you may not be as lucky getting those to
- work correctly.
