animated gifs and gbpvr

[reven]

anyone know how to get animated gifs to be animated in gbpvr? the only way i can think of is to manually get each frame from a gif as a single image, then to manually (with a ticker or something) iterate through the images and force a repaint of gbpvr with the next image. is there an easier way? the webcam plugin apparently supports animated gifs, is this how it was achieved? if not, then how? if so, how do you get each frame from an animated gif?

Yes, thats pretty much what you'd need to do.

if so, how do you get each frame from an animated gif?

I dont know, but I'm sure there would be library out there somewhere for extracting the number of frames and the bitmap for each.

thanks sub, anyone know of a free library? im sure i can find one but if someone finds one before me, it would save some time.

well ill be a monkeys uncle, .net has this built in. .net usually has nothing built in (well nothing real fancy) well animated gifs are done, that was easy.
