Making a Flash Movie with Model Anims Created 16 years ago2007-07-10 23:03:23 UTC by StoneFrog

Recently I came upon this beauty and am intending to do something similar in Flash 8.

I can tell that he recorded model animations that were viewed in the Half-Life Model Viewer. I have Fraps and can do that no problem.

But here are my two problems:

1) Does anybody know how I can edit the .avi file to cut out the background behind the model playing its animation? If I need a program, tell me of one (preferably one that is freeware/has a trial).

2) Is there a way, if at all, to view attatchments (on the model) in the model viewer? If so, how?

There's a thing for 3D Studio Max that lets you make a model do an animation, then it exports it to a flash file as an animated thingy.

That's my only guess. Good luck finding the plugin.

1) Does anybody know how I can edit the .avi file to cut out the background behind the model playing its animation? If I need a program, tell me of one (preferably one that is freeware/has a trial).

You can do it frame-by-frame in Adobe Photoshop ImageReady (or just Photoshop if using CS3 since it doesn't have ImageReady, it's built in >.<)

I was considering the frame by frame idea, though unless I make some major cutbacks in terms of framerate, it will take forever.
