is it hard to create animations of those with, say, animation shop? How many screens do they count? If you have the screens, I/you can easily put them together...

I'd love to help out, but I never bought The Apprentice! :cry:

It's very labour intensive. Fingers crossed i'm hopeful CD-i Emulator will one day add some options so it's possible to freeze step emulation making it childs play to capture every frame of animation. Then it's simply a matter of cleaning up the image and using a program like animation shop like you suggest.

The single-frame step function has already been added, with an additional feature geared to grabbing animations. It's just been very slooooow (as in glacial) getting to you out there...

I DO think it would be more useful with a "save state" function, wouldn't you?

And then there's keyboard support and MPEG support and ...

Yeah "Saves States" would be excellent! :D

That along with "Step Frame" and "Keyboard" support tops my wish list for CD-i Emulator at the moment.

I'll have to get animation shop sometime and tinker around with movies of the Fatality scene!

Why not instead just record the animation in dvd quality (most any decent cap card can do that), then use a program like VirtualDub to spit out the frames you want in BMP format. you can then edit the BMPs into your animation frames. Easy enough.

Oh, what the heck, I had a second. This is a quick and dirty version, just so you get the idea. Done from a mid quality MPEG.

Lovely! :roll:

I need to do a cleaned up version at some point using Kao's techniques.

Well, you might combine the two to save yourself ALOT of time screen grabbing images from the emu. But hey, its up to you. :)

Gir, can you also make one of the other scenes (fatality, beastality, nudality)?

This GIF looks great, thanks!

It's 'Animality'! Beastality is a sexual act with other members of the animal kingdom outside of the Human race Bas :roll:

...and I might add something that doesn't feature in The Apprentice

haha, I've no idea then how I came up with that term :D

Animality it is!
