 | | Animation: Space ship taking off —Fredrik Glöckner
|
| | | I've made a short animation. It features a space ship taking off. It's 160 frames, 128x96 pixels per frame and approx 5 seconds. (24 frames per second.) I've used the MPEG1 compression standard, which achieves a nice total size of 100KB. You can (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad)
