- Good ol' DPaint bites again :)
- Go look for a group of anim-oriented tools commonly uploaded under
- the name "CryoUtils". One of the tools in the archive should be
- AnimBuild. Nice interface, just feed it a target .anim file name
- and then click on the files you want to add to an .anim file in the
- order you want them to appear. The only downside of AnimBuild is
- that its interface vanishes as soon as you tell it the name of
- your last IFF file and that it should start building. Thus you
- have to watch your drive lights, or constantly LIST the directory
- it's building the anim in to know when it has finished the task.
- Other than that, an excellent little proggie :)
-
- If your .anim needs are vast, you may wish to consider Cryo's
- commercial package AnimWorkshop, marketed by Axiom, the dudes who
- also created Pixel 3D (Pro). Lots and lots of .anim oriented features
- and it will even converse directly with ASDG's ADPro for scaling
- and such.
