Hi,

I recently designed a looping animated black-transparent gif for my web
design page. It's a 3D text logo with an inverted "watery" reflection.
It animates perfectly in all versions of Netscape (Including 4.0),
however, in MSIE 3.02, 1 of the 5 frames seems to be shifted 1 pixel to
the right, and another seems to be vertically compressed by 1 pixel. In
all of my other animation programs it works fine. I am not sure if this
problem occurs in MSIE 4 (Could someone please test?) I am wondering if
it has something to do with the large palette (99 colours) or the frame
translations that I coded in Gif Construction Set.

I rendered each of the frames in POVRAY before shrinking them in
Paintshop 4, assembling them in Gif Construction Set 32, and saving them
in Animagic 32 (to lose that annoying GifCon text field.)

The gif in question is at Fluid Web Designs: http://Fast.to/Fluid
(http://members.tripod.com/~fluidweb/fluid.gif). I appreciate any
criticism on the image or my site in general, whether constructive or
not!

Thanks in advance,
Pete Jacobsen

Hi Pete.
It looks good in NN4.  The fluid kinda gets distorted, is hard to read as
it fads back.  Otherwise the water effect looks great!
