Hey all,
If you have the pre-release of LW4.0 for the PC then you know that
if you do not have a PAR or SFC then you are pretty much out of luck
if you want to see all those great TGA files you have created with LW
as an animation. NOT! I found a program that will compile those TGA files
into FLIs that can be played back on your PC. (with the AutoDesk(R) Animation
Player or some other FLI player).
It's called DTA (Dave's Targa Animator) it does a whole bunch of stuff!
I've been using it for a while and found it works great!
I've uploaded it to the Tomahawk site, it should show up in the LW/utils
section in a couple of days.
Here's a brief discription:
DTA (Dave's .TGA Animation Program)
Rel 2.1PB
Copyright (c) 1991
1992
1993
1994 by David K. Mason
DTA is a command-line utility for creating Autodesk Animator .FLI
and .FLC animation files from:
o .TGA files as created by the POV-Ray and POLYRAY & LightWave ray-tracers.
o .IMG files as created by the Vivid ray-tracer.
o .PCX files.
o .DIB or .BMP files
o .GIF files.
o Other .FLI or .FLC files.
o VistaPro .VAN animation files
o Presidio .ANI animation files
DTA can also perform a wide range of post-processing functions
on image files including:
o Creating a single optimal 256-color palette from a series of
truecolor pictures
and then creating an Autodesk Animator .FLI
file out of them.
o Saving the palette as a .MAP (PICLAB
FRACTINT) or .COL
(Autodesk Animator) palete file.
o Convert pictures to .GIF
.TGA
.PCX
.BMP graycale .TIF
still image files.
o Reading in a palette file in either .COL or .MAP format
and animating a bunch of pictures using that palette.
o Arbitrary rotation.
o Scaling.
o Multi-layer compositing. <-----!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
o Averaging images together for a variety of effects
including
simulated motion blur and red/blue 3D.
o And more.
Enjoy!
P.S. This program only runs on a PC compatible (not sure about WIN-NT)
