Importing a Multi-Frame Bitmap

When you use animated controls like knobs or switches, the original creation tool is often a 3-D program that generates video files or a series of single frames of the final control animation. However, HALion requires single-frame bitmaps. Once you have generated all the required frames, they must be combined into a single image, where all frames are pasted vertically from top to bottom.

1. In the Resources Tree, open the context menu and select Multi-Frame Bitmap.
2. Navigate to the folder where the animation frame bitmaps are located.
3. Select all the required bitmap files and click Open.
4. Navigate to the folder where you want to save the bitmap and click Save.

   A .png file that contains all the selected frames is created and the frame count is set to the corresponding value.
