Thread: adding an animation

I want to add a small animation to my site that is a picture of a small black box with 5 small lights along the top, which light up, one after the other, consecutively and in a continuous loop. I made 5 identical pictures in Google SketchUp with a different consecutive light red in each of the pictures and then made a slide show with FastStone Image Viewer. I don't have web hosting yet, but expect to soon. Is that the way to make the animation or are there other free and easy ways to do it.
Thanks.

Hi,

To make animation you need an animation software.
It has to be saved in .Gif or Png only.

Do a Search at the top of this page and type in 3D animation.

You have to search the archives to a link to a free animation software
which was posted by one of our members. I cant remember when.

thanks for the lead.

Thanks. I changed the file extensions to .gif, then used a free program called UnFREEz, loaded the pictures into that program, inserted it into BV as an image, previewed it and it blinks!! Thanks.

Thanks for the help
