Re: Playing an image sequence in reverse

[James W. <jfc...@ya...>]

Yes, this was only a test for general animation. The actual applied use is to make it loop, even when the ending and beginning do not match. E.g., I'd start the animation going forward, then backwards, and so on. Handy for things you don't have much control over when animating. So I just slapped together a test project, using renders form another project I'm involved in, Ages of Ilathid.
 
Thanks again,

Good.

By the way, if you activate the animation like that, then you have to 
make sure that it is not activated twice. Try clicking multiple times at 
the image to see what happens. If my guess is correct, the sequence will 
run twice as fast (if your computer can keep up with the pace) after you 
click on it the second time.
In other words: You have to make sure that the animation can not be 
activated again while it is already running.

However, if I remember correctly, the animation in linking books in Myst 
starts immediately after opening the book. In other words, the animation 
is activated automatically and not by the user. If the same is true for 
your linking books, you don't have the problem I described above.

And anyway, don't hesitate to ask more questions. We are happy to answer 
them.

Greetings
