combining animations
A recent topic had me giving advice on using UGA to combine two different animated files into one. I decided to try it out myself, and found my very old copy of Ulead Cool 3D. So I made a simple 3d text animation with it, then exported it as a transparent animated gif file (it had no options for exporting a series of transparent png's which would have been great for anti-aliased layers, unfortunately...) Anyway, I anti-aliased the objects in PI, then saved the file as a .ufo file then opened it with UGA. Added another emblem-like object on the background (which I saved in my custom objects pallette, among other things. Very convenient for storing re-usable graphic elements, like arrows or watermarks) and animated that as well, using UGA's tweening function. Then added a transition effect to finish it off. Had to resize it very small, though, for posting it here.
What I'm saying here is :it can be done. It just needs time and a little patience...
