[comp.sys.amiga] joining anims in SA4D

blech@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Michael Blechner) (11/30/89)

   I need to do one of two things to complete a wire frame test of a SA4D
animation, can anyone help?

   1. Is there a way to join two separate SA4D animations into one.  Both are
compiled and running individually but I want to run them back to back.  I have
tried the AmigaDos join command but it ends up only playing the first of the two anims
joined.  Any ideas?

   2. If this doesn't work I want to change all the image names from one take
to match the other, then create a new take with the same name large enough
for all the images.  When RENDER ALL is chosen all of these images will be used
and compressed into one large anim.  The problem is how do I change the names
of 200+ files to a new name without doing it image by image?

   example: I have 200 images TEST1.1.IMAGE through TEST1.200.IMAGE and
                   200 images TEST2.1.IMAGE through TEST2.200.IMAGE.
    I want to change TEST2 images to TEST1.201.IMAGE through TEST1.400.IMAGE.

Any ideas?  Thanx for the help.
