I would like to know if there is some program that would rotate the pictures for me so that making an rleD wont take a billion years.

What are you using for a computer? I would think that computer speed and memory would factor into your issue. Then again how about not making the animation too complicated.

-Render your sprites as an animation (probably 36 frames), then use m2s to convert to a pict.
-Do the same for masks.
-Get the sprite/mask picts into a ResEdit file, along with an appropriate shan.
-Run EnRLEDeRLE on the ResEdit file.

You're done.

Of course, that's assuming you're on a Mac. If you're on Windows, I think EVNew does some of the grunt work----but I don't know the specifics on that.

All you need is the sprite grid in pict, bmp, jpg, png, tga, or tiff format. EVNEV will import as a sprite base, but you'll also need a mask, or it will take away the dark areas of the ship as part of the mask and make it partially transparent.
