Well, shouldn't be too hard to code something in c as long as the images
are all in uncompressed tga. Don't have time right this sec though....
Actually, pretty darn easy to do that..... hmm.

Maybe I'll add that feature to my targa averager in the next version...
some day... :)

I did try your targa averager - but I just couldn't get it to work
correctly. And by the way, thanks for adding the feature I asked for about
3 months ago.

I found what I need. Its ImageMagick found below
http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/
I can use a TrueType font in windows and place the text anywhere in the
image.
I did not try it on a series of images yet, but it appears I'll be able to
since it runs at the command line prompt.

I was the one who helped Lewis out on his project; the code I use
presumes a constant angle, but can easily be adjusted for a changing
angle (simply alter the z-value of the text offset). "Sky" usually
does not change during an animation (it is either constantly y or z),
but up and right do; they are determined by vector maths based on the
location, look_at, and sky values. In any event, the code I use
calculates all of these vectors before they are fed to the
transformation matrix.
I have an animation of an approach to a rotating space ship; the
camera goes from being oriented straight up to following the rotation
of the ship (so that the stars appear to spin); the timer in the lower
corner of the view is placed with this code, and is rock-steady for the
whole animation. The fades I used in my IRTC entry are done with
polygons placed before the camera; I didn't have to fiddle with their
placement, because I could just place them relative to the camera, and
use the matrix to put them where they needed to be. The subtitle in
the animation uses the same technique, as does the lettering in the
poster.

John

Based on John VanSickle's code I made another code
which supports angle and sky and direction and which I
think is easy to use. Just #declare the following:
// These #declarings are optional:
#declare camera_location = <0,3,6>;
#declare camera_direction = <0,0,1>;
#declare camera_right = 4/3*x;
#declare camera_up = y;
#declare camera_sky = <1,7,0>;
#declare camera_angle = 50;
#declare camera_look_at = <0,1,0>;
// This #declaring is required:
#declare autotext_object =
text {
ttf "crystal.ttf", "Copyright 1998 YourName", 0.001, 0
pigment {color rgb 1}
finish {ambient 1 diffuse 0}
translate 0.2 // little distance from origin to text.
scale 0.07 // this value controls the size of the text.
translate <-4/6,-1/2,0> // place at the lower left corner.
}
Then paste or include this:
#ifndef (camera_location) #declare camera_location = <0,0,0>; #end
#ifndef (camera_right) #declare camera_right = 4/3*x; #end
#ifndef (camera_up) #declare camera_up = y; #end
#ifndef (camera_direction) #declare camera_direction = z; #end
#ifndef (camera_sky) #declare camera_sky = y; #end
#ifndef (camera_angle) #declare camera_angle =
degrees(atan2(vlength(camera_right)/2/vlength(camera_direction),1))*2; #end
#ifndef (camera_look_at) #declare camera_look_at = z; #end
#declare autotext_t = camera_location;
#declare autotext_z = vnormalize(camera_look_at-camera_location)/2
*vlength(camera_right)/tan(radians(camera_angle/2));
#declare autotext_x = vnormalize(vcross(camera_sky,autotext_z));
#declare autotext_y = vnormalize(vcross(autotext_z,autotext_x));
object {
object {autotext_object}
no_shadow
translate z
scale 0.001
matrix <
autotext_x.x,autotext_x.y,autotext_x.z,
autotext_y.x,autotext_y.y,autotext_y.z,
autotext_z.x,autotext_z.y,autotext_z.z,
autotext_t.x,autotext_t.y,autotext_t.z
>
}
camera {
location camera_location
right camera_right
up camera_up
direction camera_direction
sky camera_sky
angle camera_angle
look_at camera_look_at
}
The autotext_object can be any objects.
They should be placed within the range of
the up and right vectors. (<0,0,0> is the
center of the image.)

Well, I don't see what you're using... but if you have access to a
Macintosh, GraphicConverter can batch-stick an image in any corner you
want on a group of frames, and it'll be able to handle just about any
frame type you throw at it.

Hi
There is a Solution to your Problem, and thats called
DTA ( Daves Targa Animator ) with this Programm you can
put many Images together to an Animation, and it also features
compositing technics, so that you can create an Image with your
Text, and set the rest transparent ( even Alpha-Channel is supported )
then you compose it with all the Frames, which functions with Wildcards.
I don't know the Webaddress right now, but maybe someone else here knows it
cause it is/was the Basic Program for creating Animations out of single
Images.
greetings Lars Wolter

Of course, my favorite way to add a signature is to paint it on some object
in
the scene. It looks much better that way, I think.
