How the forget do you use CAD to make .GIFs?
CAD stands for "Computer Aided Design" My dad uses it for drafting (architect)
This is what Wikipedia says modern CAD systems do.
The capabilities of modern CAD systems include:
Tribrid modeling
Wireframe geometry creation
3D parametric feature based modeling, Solid modelling
Freeform surface modeling
Automated design of assemblies, which are collections of parts and/or other assemblies
Create engineering drawings from the solid models
Reuse of design components
Ease of modification of design of model and the production of multiple versions
Automatic generation of standard components of the design
Validation/verification of designs against specifications and design rules
Simulation of designs without building a physical prototype
Output of engineering documentation, such as manufacturing drawings, and Bills of Materials to reflect the BOM required to build the product
Import/Export routines to exchange data with other software packages
Output of design data directly to manufacturing facilities
Output directly to a Rapid Prototyping or Rapid Manufacture Machine for industrial prototypes
maintain libraries of parts and assemblies
calculate mass properties of parts and assemblies
aid visualization with shading, rotating, hidden line removal, etc.
Bi-directional parametric association (modification of any feature is reflected in all information relying on that feature; drawings, mass properties, assemblies, etc.)
kinematics, interference and clearance checking of assemblies
sheet metal
hose/cable routing
electrical component packaging
inclusion of programming code in a model to control and relate desired attributes of the model
Programmable design studies and optimization
Sophisticated visual brown townysis routines, for draft, curvature, curvature continuity.
What?!?
So basically, this thread tells me that you somehow figured out how to use a 3D drafting and modeling program that costs over $2000 to animate .GIFs, but you can't figure out how do export Photoshop layers into ImageReady, and somehow lack the ability to use google?
My head hurts...
