Splash Animation

by Howard Dortch · in Torque Game Engine · 06/22/2004 (10:06 am) · 7 replies

I would like to make the splash screen a bit more dramatic than a fadein fadeout. I tried to do an mpeg or avi in a contained area to no avail. So what mechanism in the engine allows me to move a 2d Sprite around (sprite with RHW component) ? If one does not exist then what does the engine understand as a set of verts with RHW ? I guess I'll try to write a sprite animator...

Yes, I too would like to know about this.

I was planning to get a 3D animation completed in AVI format and use that.

It's probably an MPEG in action, search the resources for AVI or MPEG fix.

The avi fix in the resources in for the windows platform only, some discussion was made in other forums to create a crossplatform video resource using something like xvid

I would settle for some 2d sprites and texture animation at this point just anything besides a fade.
Best I came up with is switching in 3 or 4 screens to look like a cheap noob animation.

AVI or MPG on a quad would be great but I can't get that to work

You can always write your own animation...

Which leads us back to the origional post.
What mechanism in the engine allows for 2d (RHW) sprites, quads? Vertex formats etc.
