I have no idea what applications are available for a quick preview of an
animation. In stead of searching for one I just put on together myself. It's
win95/98 and plays a sequence of bitmaps (.BMP) without having to convert them
first. If you like you can download it at the url below.

Hi Remco,
Sounds like a great tool. Any chance of adding .tga support or would that
entail more work than you would like to put into it. The only reason I ask
is because most of the animation tools that I have convert from .tga to
whatever the animation format is and few take .bmp's. Just a thought anyway.
I'll add a new link to this utility and I'm sure some people out there will
be interested in it.

I was assuuuming BMP would be the default file-type for most Win-users and since
it's a Win-program that that would be in order. The only other conversion tool I
seriously looked at is FMP which uses BMPs as well. Which is not to say that I
have any objections to adding TGA-support. I'll see if I can find a way to load
TGA's (I have no idea, never tried...).

Thank you, but it's no longer necessary. I found a great DLL which does the
trick, so I revised the program and it now not only supports TGA, but JPG, GIF
and PCX as well!
The new version is available at:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~remcodek/pov.html
(the other URL is still valid but this seemed more appropriate)

Great work!!!
Now, if you can just add PNG, you'll have most the bases covered.

Thanks for the link but I couldn't find anything there that would help me
implement this in a simple way. I did some searching on the net but I could only
find commercial stuff to add PNG-support.

WoW that was fast ! It is nice to see someone taking my suggestions seriously
from time to time and in the process increasing the usefulness of a utility
that benefits all.
Thanks,

Wow that's a handy little program. Thanks, that'll be going in my
tools menu.
I tried one of my animation shorts in all formats and it looks like
.tga isn't working. The first frame displays, and it flickers like
it's going through the animation but never displays anything but
the first frame. I usually save in .tga too.
I have a request if your up for it. Would it be difficult to add
a fps(frames per second)selector? So when I'm working on an animation
I can get a feel for the speed of my moving objects.

Uh-oh.
I tested it with TGA and it worked. What could be the problem here?
Could you perhaps send me some (3 or 4) of your frames to see what's up?
The fps-selector is a good suggestion. I'll work on that.
I have to pass on the PNG for now, it seems to be too much work, sorry Jon.

Never mind sending the images, I already solved the problem. It was a stupid
mistake (that's me!).
I added the FPS-selector so now there's a new version again.
Sorry.
