Jayenkai	Merry Christmas!! This year's Xmas Xard was created with just a few simple bits and pieces. .. But I certainly won't be using this technique again, next year. .. Well, ok, maybe. But I'll need to get things easier when designing. Downloadable Blitz3D code The design is mainly a 2D one, but with multiple "layers" to create the 3D-ness. "drawn.bmp" is loaded, and processed, as 64x64 frames, with frame 1 being at the front, and frame 100 being at the back. Atop that, a bunch of snow plains are placed at certain intervals, as well as a bunch of mostly transparent spikes (DISLIKE!) and a whole bunch of trees. Once everything's placed into the world, the camera is movable with cursors, WASD and the number-pad, to allow for a whole bunch of different camera angles. With that in place, it's a simple case of finding a good camera angle, then hitting Escape to quit, and finding the finished out.bmp in the folder. Nice and easy! Drawing the multi-layered artwork was SUCH a pain in the arse, though. I definitely need to organise that better, next time I try this. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Oh yeah, incase anyone's wondering... the middle bit is from here. https://socoder.net/?Newsletter=85 -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	It may have been a hassle, but the end result was well worth it. Merry Christmas. Everyone.
