General Software Discussion / Animation Software
« on: January 09, 2007, 03:58 AM »
I need a free animation program that can take a few 5-10 frame looping animations and mask each one with a moving vector or hand drawn raster (either one, or just erasure even, but preferably vector masks) and layer them. Any OS, preferably Windows XP. Any ideas?
Basically, I need something for weather forecasts for our student-run TV station; I figure I can make a layer of looping cloud animation, a layer of looping rain, a layer of snowflakes, etc. all at 50% opacity or so with some gaps between particles over a base image and then just animate a mask on them or animate an outline for them.

Assuming that the code you posted is what you need to type, just make this batch file (type it in a text editor, save it as "mv.bat" and put it in your system path):
xxcopy %1 %2 /rsy/pd0/s/h/r/q1

I responded to a post asking for something like this on the VMWare forums earlier today. 
Here's the general idea:
Make your VM using VMWare Server or Workstation [or manually editing config]
Use a *changable* linux boot-disk OS or BartPE (be these on usb key or cdrom or whathaveyou), adding VMWare Player and your VM, create a batch file or shell script to launch VMWare player with your VM, and make it run on startup completion. 
Burn changes to disc or copy to disk and make bootable.  You can also include the version of vmware player for windows preinstalled in a directory on the disk if you use linux, enabling you to just launch the player if you have a windows box and don't want to reboot it. 

Q.E.D.

Many collectable card game manufacturers (Wizards of the Coast, UpperDeck Entertainment, etc.) create programs that do this for the running of their sanctioned tournaments, maybe you could use one of these (most of them ask for a membership number of some sort for the players, but most will also work with a dummy number, like 0 or simple number sequences)?
