I'm really really enjoying farting about with the animation feature now I have a grown up computer!  grin

My question is:

If I have a simple sequence with a starting parameter and an ending parameter and 4000 frames auto-generated in between, and I see an exported image which I really like, but which has occurred in between the start and end parameters, is there a way I can obtain a parameter (or M3i?) for it?  If there is not, can we have the option to export M3i and image for the sequence?

I tried a search and I looked at the interface but I couldn't see an obvious answer.

Thank you

Thanks Taurus.  I had a read and a play.

I tried pausing the animation and trying to save the current parameter as an M3i.  I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but although the shape and camera info are saved, the colour info is not.

I would still like the option of exporting each rendered frame in an animation as an M3i, despite the fact that it will add to the render time.  I would find this a really useful option but I don't know how achievable this is.

Hi and welcome.

I suspect that if you're doing "4000 frames auto-generated in between," (sounds like me), then you're probably trying one of the techniques I wrote/asked about some months ago,
i.e mixing and mangling parameters from different formulas?

If this is so, as you rightly suggest, you find something along the way  that you like but something is not right when you come to save it - even if it's only the colours. There are some ways around this; for example, make sure you do a save of the colours and you can usually load them in on top of the M3i file that creates the wrong colours. This only works sometimes though.

It gets very convoluted, so, to save typing, I can only point you to the rather lengthy ramble I did to try to understand this -

...and, better still,  its contributed update with newer knowledge - to offer some assistance - if indeed you are using thi technique.

Hi Kam and many thanks for your welcome.

I had read your first link and had a quick go at some of the things there.  Thanks.

I think your second link covers my predicament, although I won't have the chance to test it for a while (I bookmarked the webpage).

I'm not at all concerned about having to bodge it a bit, as the program is such an amazing piece of work; we can't expect to have everything (at least not straight away!).

Hi,

glad to be of some use.

That method is certainly not easy on helping beginners to understand.
'Bodge' away. Be careful in there; you might lose a limb - or your mind.
