}     Hi ,
}     
}     Did anyone tried to use the programs dilbm,pilbm and movie that
}     exist on Fred Fish disk #116 to create an animation ??
}
}     [stuff deleted]
} 
}     the HAM pictures,dilbm does'nt work .
}     It give me a "color maps difference" then a lot of lines with
}     Pen 01 .........(numbers here...)
}     
}     How can you create 2 pictures using Sculpt-3d (sorry I don't have
}     animate 3-d yet..) that have the same color map ??

I experienced the same problem a while back and posted roughly the same
question.  Here is the response that I got:

}Yes, you can control the color table... but you have to have Sculpt version
}1.1 or higher and you need to know some hidden features first!  In the 
}interactive mode, select the "DOWN" window and type "CNTRL-D".  A requesterfor the magic number will appear!  Type "123".
}Now you can trace your first image and then activate these two new menu items:
}OBSERVER-MODE-COLOR LOCK and OBSERVER-EXPOSURE-LOCK.  Now you can
}generate your remaining images.  You must also regenerate your first image
}so that the color lock will be constant throughout the animation.  For more
}info, get the latest version of Sculpt-Anim1_w-sound disk!
}
}?

Can you believe it? A #%@$# magic number?
It does work, though.

Good luck
