Rendering an animation as a GIF in 3dsm
I'm trying to render an animation as a gif in max,I only know how to do it as a video. I would convert the video to a gif, but that always comes out looking like crap. -
Re: Rendering an animation as a GIF in 3dsm
You really should avoid gif animations of that many frames. Is it a turn around? also with imageready: http://www.edharriss.com/tutorials/tutorial_xsi_and_3d_animated_gif/animated_gif_tutorial.htm if you have photoshop you have imageready (unless they've changed that) and that tutorial applies to any app really. just place… -

graphics gale... the best gif animator you'll ever get for 20 bucks... load an image sequence as an animation, basic layer support, can even save as avi. -

Yea, I have CS3 and that was an automated option (very slow lol), but I still had to hide all frames and manually create a frame, hide that frame and unhide the next...100 times. That is easier than making the frames into layers my self, but still tedious, I felt like a robot the whole time.
