Hello everybody,
I’m busy with an animation in a 3d environment in Acad2002. I made a few lisps for the motion and I render the result into bmp files.
Now I want to use the result to show it to co-workers who have no Acad. I did this before in PowerPoint, but it runs slow. I record an 8 frames a sec and PowerPoint takes longer to bring up the dia.
So the question is, does anybody have an idea what program to use for the presentation of bmps in real-time?
Thanks in Advance

Paint Shop Pro.. it comes with a free animator program ~ you could even output the bitmaps to avi if you want

Ditto what Hendie said, it's a great little proggy.
If you zip up the images so no zip file exceeds 10mb, rename the zip files to piz (e.g. file1.zip.piz) and send them to cadlabs at gmail dot com I'll try to put something together for you tonight.

Thanks, Michael,
but i'm not there yet. I just need to make sure i can make little picture show of it before i invest to much time in the lisp for the animation.

It must be in BMP format? I would try to convert the images in GIF format and to create an animated gif

Well,
bmp is what render does. How would you generate an animated gif?

Bmps are fine Amsterdammed (as long as you zip em up per my previous message). I can convert to / from just about any common graphics format, including gifs.

You might want to try Bink or Smacker

I find that they are much faster than Paint Shop Pro. -David

IRFANVIEW is free for personal use and it will convert images between any formats.
For animated gif images I use a very old program called Microsoft gif animator. You should try a google search for newer tools -for sure you will find dozens of options.

I did one a while back using windows movie maker.
It is free and comes with Win XP

David,
Bink is great. Thanks for the tip and sorry for the late reply, i was out of the game for a while.

By way of suggestion,
I would suggest using the "Fast Movie Processor" for compiling the individual frames into an "avi" movie. It's freeware and readily available across the web.
Alternatively you could try my freeware "Ani-Mate" lisp routine, it creates and displays animation sequences from within Acad. I'm half way through updating the code for release 2, unfortunately a change of job and subsequent relocation has put this on hold for a few months.
