Image format

Is there any image format that support animation and RGBA (So you can get half transparent pixel). Or do I have to make it by myself ??
(you can find me on IRC : #opengl on undernet)

The problem here is the word animation. It''s not that there aren''t file formats that support it, obviously, but OpenGL doesn''t really support it, you''d have to load each frame in as different texture and animate it by hand. There is a modification on the png format that supports animation (http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng/) which might also support RGBA like png.

Anyway, an animation is just a lot of images showing one after one.

I just have to change the texture of an object looking at the timer, that''s not a problem. ...
A bigger problem is that a 10 frame animation is 10 time bigger than a single frame one :o) Argh, that eats memory
