3D to 2D Animations Needed

[braintrain]

Greetings!

 

I run a small specialized psychological software company.

 

I was very impressed with AM at a trade show.

 

I need 3D looking animations of "characters" made into sequential "cells"

that I can use as animated bmp files.

 

If you are interested in contract work to make such characters, then

please contact me at jas@braintrain.com, website: www.braintrain.com

or call 804-320-0105

Do you mean animated 'gif' files? I have not heard of animated bmp files... or are the bmp files needed for your psychological software?

[braintrain]

We use bmp files like animated gifs.

 

So each animation is a sequential series of images that are in bmp format and then displayed at a frame rate of 15fps max.

 

It works the same as gifs, but has the advantage of more colors and you can compress bmp files, too. Plus bmp files are a Windows standard and the program only runs on Windows.

 

What we need is a 3D look and cells that can be played as animation for various movements that we want the characters to make.

 

I hope this helps clarify our needs. We can convert though from any format

to bmps.

 

More details about this project follow:

 

I need frame cells captured from a moving character.

 

We use a type of bmp animation with DirectX.

Examples of what I will eventually need are below:

 

The character (dog man, cat man, elephant man, duck man) needs to bend down and pick up

reach up

turn left

turn right

reach out to right

reach out to left at chest level

walk right

walk left

smile

jump up and down

hop left

hop right

 

I would like to start with this:

 

A frog that does many of these things

and uses his tongue to catch things

smiles

talks

eats things

turns right

turns left

turns backward

 

I need the frame by frame movement in 16bit color bmp 200x200 pixels
