Abstract: A method for producing an animation of an object includes displaying an object on a display of a computer system. A perspective system that has a predefined relationship with the object is created on the display. The perspective system defines different planes, and different portions of the object are associated with the different planes. Each of these different portions is stored as a different image file. The perspective system is rotated about the object to establish different frames of the animation. For each frame, the different portions of the object are manipulated to orient the object to establish the predefined relationship with the rotated perspective system. For each frame, script is created describing the manipulation of the different portions of the object.
