Animation images rendered by GIG's 3D-GO Advanced are stored using the
Tiff file format in the subdirectory production of the current
project. The images are stored with the saved animation name followed
by four digits. These digits are in general in incremental
order. Animations can be rendered in a flipbook format selected from
the page size menu from the main menu. With GIG's Graphical user
interface tool Flipbook, the user can preview his or her animation
sequences.
GIG's Flipbook tool can be selected from the
tools menu by double clicking on Flipbook or started up from a UNIX
shell with the command `startFlipbook'.
Usage
When selected the selected animation will be loaded. As soon as it is
loaded the controlwindow will change and the flipbook controls
appear. The flipbook will only start when proper name and start and
end frames are selected.
Note A minimum of 5 animation files should be selected before
the animation can be loaded and displayed.
Usage
When selected any selected frame or series of frames from the
production directory or stills from the picture directory can be
viewed frame by frame.
Usage
When selected the Flipbook session is ended and the user is returned to
GIG when the session was started from the Tools menu or returned to
the UNIX window when the session was started with the startFlipbook
command.
