Rotating Sections???

Post by feygan »

Just throwing this one out there on an off chance. I realise that we are just dealing with 2D images, but does anyone know if its possible to make some sections of a ship/base "spin"?

I cant see it working ATM.
Creatures are set up for animation and ships simply are not.
AFAIK They are handled in a completely different way to each other.

If the developers would add support for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG then it would probably work...
