Hi : http://www.xnview.com is an excellent freeware image manipulation program of course (Pro version avail for $) but yet another great reason to use it (beside all the dozens I've already mentioned in past years [such as command line input]) is it's awesome ability to play your anim/movie files as well.
... by simply using XnViews toolbar's arrow keys you can play the next animation in that folder or the pre- vious one (as well as your .jpeg/.tga/.bmp's/etc the same way) , by just toggling the toolbar arrow keys . Makes browsing folders containing multi-media content a breeze (like the folders containing movies/stills originating from your new digital camera ! ) Previous versions of Xnview had speed controls for slowing down/speeding up anims too (circa V1.5x) . Also has a built in slide show tool . XnView supports Photoshop plugins now as well , and the author seems to be a big Raytracing fan and also offers a free raytracer on his site (although it is obviously no longer his main focus) . http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierre.g/ray/index.html Available in many languages & platforms . This is the one that should Plug into RS3D , if you ask me . Check it out !!! studio
