Animation
Re: Animation
A while back Aho recommended animeasy (http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=188713) for Linux only users. I recommend it since it's all that we have at the moment. You can also use swftools and manually export each frame. It's a pain in the rear but that's better than nothing too.

Re: Animation
recently i got impressed with swftools swfc converter, and how it can be useful for inkscape animation, since i think the swfc format can be very similar to an animated .svg
for showing how simple the swfc format is, it's one example about one with 10000 frames generated from a sdlBasic script: http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=z10000apw1.swf
(a note: Macromedia/Adobe Flash used to crash when importing more than 1000 .ai drawing sequence - there is where Inkscape can set a huge goal as well)
maybe a python plugin could be enough to make a svg export, just like used to import/export .ai files?

Re: Animation
So you can use SVG file with swftools now?

Re: Animation
not yet, this animation were done only with a simple code like this, no svg there yet - just for showing how swfc and svg animated formats can have similar information to be converted between both:
(basic and python coders may uderstand what this code can do...)
and the result for swfc can look like: (a small result with few frames, which i think can be converted to .swf from swfc)
for making a conversion, i'm looking for svg animated examples could provide ideas about how a simple converter (coded in python for example?) could do this...
Code: Select all
#! /usr/bin/sdlbrt
fout$="z.swfc":amnt=100000:xed=320:yed=240:setdisplay(512,48,32,1):paper(8^8-1):ink(0):pen(0):cls
open fout$ for output as #1
print #1,".flash bbox="+str$(xed)+"x"+str$(yed)+" version=3 fps=25 name=\"z.swf\" compress":print #1,".frame 1"
for i=2 to amnt+1
print #1,".outline ht_outline"+str$(i)+":"
print #1,"M "+str$(rnd(xed))+" "+str$(rnd(yed))+" L "+str$(rnd(xed))+" "+str$(rnd(yed))+" L "+str$(rnd(xed))+" "+str$(rnd(yed))+" L "+str$(rnd(xed))+" "+str$(rnd(yed))
print #1,".end":print #1,".filled ht"+str$(i)+" outline=ht_outline"+str$(i)+" fill=#eeddcc color=#eeddcc"
print #1,".put ht"+str$(i):print #1,".frame "+str$(i):print #1,".del ht"+str$(i)
next:print #1,".end":close #1
(basic and python coders may uderstand what this code can do...)
and the result for swfc can look like: (a small result with few frames, which i think can be converted to .swf from swfc)
Code: Select all
.flash background="#2468ac" bbox=320x240 version=3 fps=25 name="z_10000a.swf" compress
.frame 1
.outline ht_outline2:
M 135 214 L 98 84 L 313 160 L 207 7
.end
.filled ht2 outline=ht_outline2 fill=#eeddcc color=#eeddcc
.put ht2
.frame 2
.del ht2
.outline ht_outline3:
M 38 206 L 245 15 L 11 204 L 104 2
.end
.filled ht3 outline=ht_outline3 fill=#eeddcc color=#eeddcc
