Animations

[PVC Arsenal 17]

I always wanted to make a diagram of a gun and animate it. Like a piston valve working.

What program is good for doing this and is free or at least cheap?
And once I've created one, how do I get it uploaded?

let me know if this works:




Fuck... how I get to be a pic that's animated and not a link to a video??

it works, looks like a GIF type animation.

now how do I post it so that the pic shows up here and animates?

I made another one by the way: http://s142.photobucket.com/albums/r106 ... image2.flv

I use macromedia fireworks for my gif images.

Those were done in Zoner 5 or something like that. You use MS Paint to edit the frames.

Why did the piston one come out so fast?? It was perfect when I made it... photbucket sped it up or something.

Making animations using POV-ray is pretty simple - either automated or manual - although you'll need a seperate software package to consolidate them into a animation.

Yea it worked for me, just took a few minutes to load. I have a dail up connection. Thats pretty cool.
