what does it matter? it's up to the coder to split them up into animation
frames anyways, right?
this is the reason why i don't bother with putting all the frames into one
image. I consider that optimization, something to be done when the rest
of your game is finished.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the sprites in solarwolf are
assembled the wrong way. Each .png is a horizontally large image, when it
should be a vertical strip, to improve memory coherence.
What am I missing?

I suppose I could also space them appropriately in the 3D model and render all of the frames at once into my "sprite strip" file. Maybe that's the ticket.use Paint Shop to do that it's really ugly! :) Using Blender I create the animation in form of N files like you, and then I use a little Python script to join them in a single sequence file!At one time there was a freeware utility floating around called Dave's Targa Animator that could assemble individual frames into one long strip. You may be able to find it on old archives somewhere. Alan---- Sent from geeky.net
