How to make the Animated Gif
twirling thingy

In the "bell and whistle" department, my latest toy is Gif Construction Set from Alchemy Mindworks which converts a flipbook series of .gif files into an animation like this one the one at the top of this page. It was actually created in Asymetrix 3D/FX, saved as an .AVI file, brought into Videdit and saved into a series of .DIBs. I then, brought the .DIB files into Paint Shop Pro and batch converted them into .GIF files (with PSP's new .GIF transparency option.) At this point, the .GIF sequence was brought into GifCon for using the .GIF89a Control Block coding to combine all the individual .GIFS into one single file which is what you see twirling at the top of the page.
