Adding 3D Messages

Popims Animator enables adding 3D texts to any Popims animation.

Advanced version only
Open the "Combining Window"
This function also enables you to combine images and animations into new animations.
  • The small window on the top left gives you the list of all combined animations. You can add some images or existing animations ("pim" files or image files) with the "Add file" button, move them with the mouse, and change their sizes with their angle anchors. You can delete any animation with the "Remove selected" button.
  • Double-clicking on the title of an animation, or clicking on the "Properties" button when this animation is active, opens the Animation Properties window which proposes the following options.
     
  • The "Transparent color key" case enables you to change the transparent color, or to create a new transparent color.
  •  
  • The "Stretch time to fit active animation" option adapts the lenght of the animation to the length of the main animation.
  •  
  • The "Moving animation" box allows to bring the selected animation in front of the screen or behind it and to choose the depth with the "speed of the movement" parameter. A movement from left to right makes the animation closer to the spectator, while a contrary movement puts it on the rear of the scene. The value of 3 is most of the time to be considered as a maximum.
  • Clicking with the right button of your mouse on the title of an animation enables aligning the animation with any border of the screen, and also changing the order or animations - this is also possible with the arrow buttons that are on the right of the composition list.
  • The "add text" button enables adding text, and not only to choose its font, is size and colors, but also its movement which will lead to a 3d feeling - it works like the "Moving animation" function explained above.
  • The "Auto Place" button creates a chesswork with all animations.

  •  
    Visualise the result
    This player enables viewing your animation non-stop.
     
    Print your animation
    The image which will be printed is to be displayed under the Popims Screen you have selected. It will be printed on your office printer.
     
    Save your animation
    The "pim" file enables saving your work for a later printing or editing of the project.
    It is also an easy way to send it to a friend through Internet. Another saving method is creating an animated gif that you will be able to drag and drop later into the combiner window.
