Yesterday I sent an animation to p.b.a. I agree that the size of the
file was very large for what the animation represents. I think this has
to do with the method I use for preparing the animated giffile. The few
animations I sent earlier fortunately where much smaller.
Using the animation possibilities of Povray I obtain a number of png
files. Those png files are converted to giffiles using Irfanview. Using
Movgear an animated giffile is constructed. Such an animated giffile can
be optimized and in most cases the gain is very extensive.
But yesterday this wasn't the case. I pointed out that this has to do
with the use of AA 0.3. and the conversion from png to giffiles. Parts
of two successive images that have a large part in common aren't
transformed in the same way. This results in a flickering in the
animated giffile and of course the gain obtained by optimizing is very
small, because there are to many differences between two following
images.
Is there a possibility to avoid these kinds of problems? I'm using
Windows 98.
Thanks.
