Re: Animated GIFs
Hi Guys,
Have been working away at this for some time now and haven't managed to get far - have followed Fletch's instructions to the Nth degree but the best I can get is a different frame of the GIF to the JPEG that is displayed in SU being rendered over and over for every frame of the animation.
Have tried four different kinds of GIFs of varying file size etc but no dice.
Have attached an example file with jpeg and gif.
Any help would be much appreciated as this will allow a new world of rendering abilities for TWR2
I thought I would ensure that I could do the GIF thing before buying so I haven't licensed the full version yet - could that be what is causing issues?

Re: Animated GIFs
Ok, so the functionality doesn't work on evaluation - I let the moths out of my wallet and it worked straight away
Looking forward to experimenting with this - am surprised I haven't seen any examples of this yet

Re: Animated GIFs
Anyone know what causes these random pink flare ups?

Re: Animated GIFs
Strange - please post the scene so we can test. It's likely to do with a bug where it's not registering correctly the type of GIF used.

The fix is already made, and will be released in the next Twilight V2 update.Chris wrote:Fletch just pointed out that there appears to be a bug with animated GIFs in the latest release of Twilight Render V2. We'll get it sorted out; until then, your animated gif animations may not render correctly. It depends on the format of the animated GIF. Certain formats, how they were created, aren't rendering correctly.
Sorry about that. We'll try to get it fixed as soon as possible.

Re: Animated GIFs
I wondered if it had something to do with this: http://twilightrender.com/phpBB3/viewto ... ror#p23507
About every fifth frame appears like that

Re: Animated GIFs
I had thought of using a gif to animate water spraying on a truck in an animation but its not really working out. Transparency doesn't seem to work too well.

Re: Animated GIFs
On the same animation, I'm trying to render up some scenes but I keep getting this blasted flicker using Low+ Object Animation.
Can anyone explain this? I have read through this: http://twilightrender.com/phpBB3/viewto ... ker#p28878
and adhered to it but I have animated objects so I can't re-use the lighting cache.
How do I get rid of this accursed flicker across my frames?

Re: Animated GIFs
you will have to use higher quality setting... it's called "low" for a reason.

Re: Animated GIFs
In case anyone faces the pink edges issue mentioned above - as far as I can tell it is from displaying transparent .PNG files too large in SU. If you're going to display a .PNG with transparency over a certain size it needs to be a large enough resolution.
