Animating images

[k9cachers]

Just downloaded the trial version of Xara3D. Can anyone tell me if I can use my images to make animated gifs? I can't find anything about this.
Thanks

Hello k9cachers,

Xara3D is designed to create 3D text and extruded shapes from vector objects. It can export them as still images or as animations (.gif, .swf, and .avi).

If you are wanting to take some images you have created in other programs and try to create gif animations, you may need another type of program.

What specifically are you wanting to do? Your question is rather vague and difficult to give a detailed answer.

Thanks for the answer. Basically, I want to take a few pictures I have of my dogs and make it into an animation. For example, maybe making them look like they are jumping or something.

If you have a series of pictures of your dogs jumping at different times during the jump like drawn images used to animation a cartoon, each image could be put together in a gif animation program so they would be shown as animation.

If you do not have sequences if images showing your dogs in various positions through a jump you would need to do a lot of work with a drawing program to either draw the missing frames of the animation. Or a morphing application that could be used to hand create the each missing frame to create an animation.

Neither scenario is something Xara3D is designed to create.

Xara3D is more for creating the animation shown in the attachment below.
