Complete game of snooker/pool animation
Community Forums/Graphic Chat/Complete game of snooker/pool animation
| ||
| I'm writing an application for a friend of mine (in C#) for a snooker club he owns. It basically tracks membership and time/costs for in-use tables. I'd like to have a top-down view of a complete game of snooker (and pool) animating (rendered ideally) to indicate a table is in use. Does anyone know of anywhere I'll find such animations? I've tried the usual googling without luck. [edit]I tried to add a "REQ:" to my topic heading to make it clear I'm asking for help, but I couldn't edit it[/edit] |

| First hit in google images could be polished up to work. http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=snooker+table&hl=en |

| They're not animating though unfortunately. I spent ages looking through those gifs. Ideally, I'd like something similar to this (but without the panel at the top and the aim guide), animating a complete game:  I realise I'm unlikely to find it, but I wouldn't know where to start to create one myself. |

| What about find a freeware copy of a snooker game, and capture the screen output in Fraps or the like? |
| ||
| Couldn't you edit that picture? |
| ||
Ta da! |

| Look good - Ta. Manually animating a full game might take some time though ;) |
| ||
| What kind of animation does it need to be? Just a simple break? |
| ||
| And what dimensions? pixel wise. |

Here's what i got so far: |

| If you want a full game, then i could probably work something out for a small price :o) If you just want something similar to that, then feel free to grab that :o) I'll change anything if you want. |
| ||
| I'm impressed at how quickly you animated that static image! Do you do that all by hand? We'd like to have a full game animating. If I can squeeze some money out of my friend, I'll get back to you. Cheers |

| Well, it's a vector based program. You set each objects position, then copy the frame, then move the objects, then copy... etc etc. I edited the orginal picture, so i was left with an empty table, and drew in the balls myself. No worries :o) |
