frame-translation-generator is a simple command line tool written in Rust. It generates MoreMcmeta animations by translating a window across an image to generate an animation. This is useful for generating "sliding" animations like the Minecraft enchantment glint.
Run the tool with the --help flag to view a list of the tool's options.
input- path to image to use as inputoutput- path where new file will be written. Any existing file at this location will be overwritten.frame-width- width of the window and each frame in the resulting animation. This is not the width of the entire image.frame-height- height of the window and each frame in the resulting animation. This is not the height of the entire image.x-start- initial x-coordinate of the top-left corner of the window. x=0 refers to the left side of the image.y-start- initial y-coordinate of the top-left corner of the window. y=0 refers to the top of the image.dx- horizontal pixels by which to translate the window each framedy- horizontal pixels by which to translate the window each framemax-frames- maximum number of frames to generate
For example,
$ ./frame-translation-generator --input=myimage.png --frame-width=64 --frame-height=64 --dx=1 --dy="-3" --x-start=0 --y-start=4032 --max-frames=1024 --output=output.png`will read myimage.png, put the first 64x64 frame at (0, 4032), and then generate frames by moving the window right 1
1 pixel and up 3 pixels until the image boundary is reached or until 1024 frames are generated. The frames will be
written to output.png.
Install Rust. Then run cargo build or cargo build --release (for an
optimized build) from the command line.
