- its very easy. All you need are couple of programs, like
- DTA*.* (dave's Targa Animator), PLAY79*.* (trilobyte fli player)
- and a program that makes you a big batch file for the animation,
- for example CAMPATH*.*; just a small correcture in the
- CAMPATH Basic Source Code needed, it should be "declare" instead
- of "DECLARE" because POV 1.0 only takes lower case
- I think there is a swich for using lower+upper case, but I'm not shure.
-
- You can make the animation yourself, just take a POV Data File,
- change the location <x y z> (thats a simple y-up coordinate system)
- make lots of pictures with continuous coordinates, let pov calculate
- the pictures and Name them ANIM001.TGA to ANIM099.TGA
- then take DTA anim*.TGA /FFthefli.fli /W
- that makes a Animation with given resolution and a 640x480 style FLI
-
- Take the PLAY thefli.fli -m2
- That way t the Animation on the Screen with VESA Mode 640x480x256
-
- you can find all this Programs in the You Can Call Me Ray BBS
- (708) 358-5611 HST and (708)358-8721 USR DS, I'm sorry I dont know
- ftp places. you can find lots of POV utils and dat files there.
