360 Image GIF

I am building a game that needs a 360 rotating gif. I have the image that I want to rotate. I need a program that will take the image and make a gif out of it so it turns 1 degree at a time and saves it into 1 gif or 360 gifs. What program is the easiest way? I know I could just rotate it one degree at a time then save it as 001.gif and ect for 360 times, but that would be crazy! Any help?

Use Flash. You can download a free 30 day trial from macromedia.com

You would be cazy to rotate them 1 degree at a time. Why the **** you want a gif with 360 frames? A gif with 10 frames would be plenty.

When making a game you need 360 rotation with a lot of images to make it look good!

Flash is probably an easy way to go. It should output an animated .gif, and you can use keyframes and tweening to make your life easier.

You probably don't need 360 frames, though, and if you do it with flash (and let the program generate the animation) you probably won't get that many, either.

The important thing to consider is how fast you want the image to rotate. The human eye needs at least 15 frames/per/second to be fooled into seeing continous motion, so you need at least that much. Feature films (in the US) are shot at 24 fps, and US TV is shot at 30 fps, so that gives you an idea of what to aim for. Take your animation length (say 2 seconds for a rotation), multiply it by your frame rate (say 24 fps) and you'll get the total number of frame (48). Any more than that and you're just wasting file space and processing power to display something that no one is going to see anyway.

Other tools you might try are PaintShopPro ( http://www.jasc.com ). It has a free trial and (used to at least) come with a .gif animation studio that was integrated with the product. You can also look at http://www.ulead.com. They make a lot of image creation/manipulating tools.

It seems in GAMEMAKER, the program I was useing, had this option in it! So here is the result:

i have same problem but different i made a casino roller and made it in 60 frames and 80 fps using Macromeida Flash but i need it in gif format if anyone have any advises please...help me

hey e1000m...
80fps in flash?!
dude, dats crazy! =OO
u can drop that by half and u'd still get great quality!

anywayz... answering your question, Flash exports animated gif!! =)
Just look for it in publish settings for example or in export movie too... =)
