I did use the Swift3D plugin. If you need some help rendering the files, let me know.

The example you linked to only has 35 different frames. Each picture is rotated 10 degrees from the previous one. (35x10=350,1 and last frame are the same.)

You just have to set the camera to "orthographic".

Take a look at this. It was done with 3DMax and Illustrate. Would probably work with the Swift plugin, too.

Check the value of the multiplier field in the lights properties and make sure it is positive. If the value in the multiplier field is negative, you get a "negative" light, which means everything it...

Don't know what you were looking for. The continents haven't been optimized, so it might get down around 15k with some tweeking.

I can write out how to do it if you want to change the way it...

I would almost guarantee that it was rendered with Illustrate ( http://www.davidgould.com ) from looking at the edges of the cyclinder that it's rotating on.

As to whether it was made in Max or...

The host for my site has been having problems lately. Anyway, just worked for me. Just right click the link for the MAX file and "save As...". Should work.

Hope it helps...

After downloading your file, I found a couple of problems.

3D Studio MAX. It imports everything that AutoCAD exports, since they're both from the same company. I use Mechanical Desktop regularly to create models for Max.

Just a note: When exporting...

Sounds like you have two options, both of which are free. You could try and do it with math. Or you could do a search on isometric drawing. Both of these are going to be labor intensive, but if...

You can render to .png's with a transparent background. Then you can set up a batch conversion to get them to .gif (or anything else...)

Not really sure what you are talking about. I'm going to guess you might be talking about a site like this:

So how did they do it? In my opinion, which is wrong just...

Let's see if I remember them all---

Strata- Sounds decent, plus it's FREE (can't beat that). Exports to .3DS format for use with Swift3D.

Swift3D- Alright, not sure on the price, new version...

Check and see if this is what your talking about-

If so, I can explain.
