Title: animation help
Post by: Valence on June 15, 2004, 10:52:41 pm

I want to create a screen saver for my cab and need help in getting started.  End product would be of a spinning galaxy with a few things in text at a few different points.

What would be my best choice for software. I don't mind putting in some time learning a program but I also don't need state of the art stuff either.

But I would rather it end up being more of a movie than a coded
program.

Just an idea - Macromedia Flash ? Relatively easy to learn, tons of examples and tutorials around, useful for creating many types of animations and even mini GUI applications. It is pretty costly though (there is a 30 days trial on their website).

Haven't checked but I am pretty sure there should be utilities out there that can run flash movies as screen saver.
