Re: How-to: Cube Edits/mods/creation
For the iCube I used Gimp and skewed each frame individually. I took the static image of each side, skewed it to a certain degree, then pasted the next slides side, also skewed, into the image. It was a long, tedious process and was imperfect in its implementation.
For MacFlo I used Macromedia Flash 5 to create the animations, and it was much easier, especially since there were so many elements moving at the same time. Flash has an option to export each frame as a bmp, so as soon as I had the animation correct I had all the frames perfectly placed and spaced.
I hope this is what you were asking. I know that Polen used Photoshop to achieve the rotation effect, and even shared his process files. I think they are on the first Vista Cube thread.
