I have a Model in Strata3D That i want to make Ship Sprites out of. How do I make it in the neat little 6 by 6 that EVO and EV Plugins Requires? Could you just help me out this once????????

Well you can turn it into a movie where you spin the ship 10 degrees each frame for 36 frames and then use m2s to make that into sprites. Only problem is that I've never been able to get m2s to work. It just says it can't due to an error -180. Any one know how to fix this? Incidentally you could find this info in the FAQ.

I've never used m2s, but once you have the 36 frames via the method spl_cadet mentioned, it's a simple matter of creating a new image in GraphicConverter with the proper dimensions (multiply the frame dimensions by 6) and carefully pasting the frames into it in the correct order. You've got to position the edges of each frame perfectly, but it's the method I use, and it's easy with even a minimum of practice.

I use it. All you do is drag the .mov file to it...
And, whoa, this is the first time that I've hit flood control in a while.

Erm you cant do animation in Strata 3D 3.5 base so you would either have to downgrage to 3.0.2 free (search at (url="http://"http://www.download.com)")www.download.com)(/url) and export your file as an older version of Strata (3.0.2 or earlier) from base (use the save as commend), then use (url="http://"http://www.ewanc.f2s.com/tutorial/tutorial.html")my tutorial(/url) to make the animation.
Or render 36 individual frames, rotating the ship 10 degrees each time using the object properties window and the rotate settings in there and compiling them using a graphics program.
Or save the file as an older version (3.0.2 or earlier) and send it to me and I will spin it for you.
Email me at ewanc@mac.com if you need any help.

**No problem. You should post your ship on the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=56&SUBMIT;=Go")EV Image Gallery(/url) so that we can all see it. It also allows for feedback so that people can give you advice on what and what not to do in the future. Keep up the good work.
