This set of cursors was built in 3D using the open source program Blender. Each cursor was then animated in Blender and rendered afterwards. The rendered animations were outputted as a series of still PNG images. (Each frame was a separate image.) With an incredibly handy script that Vlasta so kindly made on request, I stitched the PNG stills together into long PNG strips. I then opened the PNG strips in the RealWorld Cursor Editor with the "Create cursor from image" option. RWCE automatically separated the PNG strip into the appropriate number of frames and I was then able to adjust the hotspots and frame rates for the cursors.

I am very pleased with the set. There are a few minor design flaws, but none of them are really noticable. They are mostly lighting issues from when I rendered. In a 32x32 image...you're not really going to notice that. But since I made them- I did.

I hope you like them, and there may be more Blender/RW work to come in the future.

Don't forget to comment and rate!

Enjoy! :-)

Great set. The animations are insanely detailed ;-).

I think the "clicking" link is good.

I should probably improve the image to cursor wizard to accept multiple files...

I clicked on the properties of the PSPrecision and watch this wonderful calming film for 5 minutes. Bravo! Excellent animation.

Beautiful work JDDellGuy! They look amazing. The only thing I might try and do differently is smooth out the animations on the working and busy. All of the others look really smooth but those two for some reason look a little choppy to me. Is it just a matter of frame timing? Not a big deal, but if it's an easy fix it would improve it. Still 5/5 though. Fantastic work!

Thanks Daniel!
Actually, the problem lies in that the texture that I applied to the 3D model is not symmetrical. The animations only show 180 degrees rotation to save on frames. So at the start of each animation the texture is reset to the first frame resulting in a choppy look. I am still learning some things about Blender...
