I was just wondering, is there a simple way to export an animation from 3DS max 7 as an animated .gif.

If not, is there a program that will combine numbered .bmp's into one .gif?


Would save me a lot of time.

Some graphics programs do have the ability to make short animations. Not sure about Adobe Photoshop but I know the JASC programs come with an animation-shop built in. The problem is that gifs animate in a more cartoony way than most "video" files, so a straight convertion may be a problem. If in doubt, check something like download.com for an avi-gif converter, preferably without spyware attached.

Fireworks MX/2004 can do it frame by frame which would be pretty simple with max except youd have to render and export each frame one at a time and then do the same into fireworks.

Yea, I already do it frame-by-frame with Adobe Imageready CS2.
