      First attempt. Just animation 101, nothing fancy.

      Converted with GIMP. Lots of compression artifacts due to too much detail. I probably need to rethink “simpler”. Jerky due to low frame rate (to fit in CGC file size) – needs to be optimized.

      But at least the basic concept works, and the pipeline steps work.

        looks nice,  smart move testing out the pipe line.

          Tweaked to 100 frames @ 20 FPS. Also turned off PNG compression, since GIF will compress again.

          Slightly rough, but I think I will call it done on this one.

          Final file size is 6 MB, greater than CGC “attached file” limit of 5 MB, but apparently OK for an image (?).

            Toyed with a radically different concept. Still needs a lot of refinement… It was a fun exercise whether it gets used or not.

              I like this a lot!

              Its a very good idea for a Gif.

              Anything over 5MB may give you an error when trying to post it.

              The next part of this challenge, new year celebration, I tried posting a Gif that was 8MB I think, and it rejected it.

              So I needed to do some optimizing.

              But I have seen still renders that have a high file size, and load very slowly.

              I would think when CGCookie migrates to Mavenseed in the near future this maybe improved.

                I like this too.

                A fun idea.
