Folks !

I recreated my texture/sprite animation programm (formerly PCXANIM) and it is nearly a final version now. I would like to know if there is still somebody intersted in this program, I would look for some webspace then and make it available for download.

What is PCXANIM ?

While shaders do an excellent job for water and and other materials today, PCXANIM does create oldskool animated sprites or textures quickly with a few mouseclicks. Two formats can be created: the standard animated sprite "filmstrip" bmp as well as exported bmp sequences for animated textures like +0lava to +9lava (see Gamestudio manual) ready to be imported in wed. PCXANIM may also be handy to add FX for MDL skins.

Beside standard load and save functions (with overlay) there is quick clipaord exchange possible for single bmp and bmp animations (hor. filmstrip), so you can use your favourite paintprogram for additional FX via filters. Then you can send it back through the clipboard to PCXANIM and see the animation instantly.

PCXANIM can create seamless (for tiling) animations with several options.

Main effects are:

Choose color
Colorfill all - Fills the filmstrip with the choosen color
Ring - creates ring animations.
RecurFX - Creates seamless animations (start/end/border) for flow or plasma like fx
Pulsate - let the contents of the filmstrip pulsate in luminance
Trace - creates traces from animations
Grey - Converts the color animation into grey colors
Flicker - creates some flickering
Shift vertical - scrolls the animation vertical
Shift horizontal - scrolls the animation horizantal
Reverse - lets the animation run backwards
Blur - blurs the animation
Black/White - transforms the color animation into black and white
Rustle - creates "white noise"
Darken - darkens the animation
Lighten - lightens the animation
Fade - fades out an animation
Faadeinout - blends/fade an animation in and out
Quake - Earthquake fx
Rotate - Rotates the animation
RotateHor - Pseudorotates an animation horizontal
ShrinkX - Shrinks an animation horizontal
ShrinkY - Shrinks an animation vertical
Zoomin - Zooms in the animation

Some effects have options for customising the animation effect

Two or three more effects will be added and are not yet mentioned above.

With a little training of combining the effects you can create nice animations including
water fx and many many more. A demo level will be included in the download.

So if you are intersted in PCXANIM, please let me know.
(PCXANIM will be freeware smile )

Best wishes !

Hmmm...

I see that there is hardly any interst in PCXANIM and therefore I will not publish it.

3RUN: I will contact you when the first reliable version is ready. That may be in two or three weeks. I then can send you a copy of PCXANIM if you want.

Ok,

I added the folling FX to PCXANIM:

SwingHor - Swings an animation from right to left and back
Zoominout - Zooms in and out an Animation, giving a nice Eyecatching FX.
Upndown - The anim jumps up and down. Maybe for Water FX of a waterfall.
4FieldBlur - True seamless bluring FX for Plasma and flow FX

Ring FX improved (more 3D looking rings if needed)

Overlay loading from Clipboard or disk now works fine (single bmp or anim)

-----------

I also started the Demo level "Mistery Island" (Shuhuu!) to demonstrate what PCXANIM is really able to do.

Still some more FX to be added. Planned so much.

I think, I will release the first Beta version and the Demo Level around XMAS.

Can send you a copy then.

Greets and peace for you all !

Sorry folks, PCXanim is not yet ready to be released. Need one more week or so, I think. There were some strange bugs I had to remove. I also want to add a good quality wed demo level with much PCXanim FX as possible, which I am working on as well.

Some more FX were added to PCXanim:

Laser
Pixelfire
Noise

RecurFX:
Colums/Rows
Move RND

Rotate:
Foreward/backward
