Anyone curious about how it was made :

 

If you do a sequence of screenshots in Skyrim one immediately after the other, you will be limited by the games ability to grab and save .. Giving a nice little pause between shots.

Which as it happens is just right for anim frames ( if you use gif, 40ms per frame was good for this one )

 

I used Irfanviews batch abilities to chop the Eye of Magnus out of the 250 odd screenshots, then chose the final 60 of those for the anim ( 60 has a full revolution ( well, a couple of revolutions to catch the different glowing text on the eye ), minus one frame so that the next frame shown is the first of the whole loop giving a perfect spin )

 

Then also used Irfanviews batch abilities to reduce each image to 90x95 pixels for each frame.

 

( More on IrfanView in this post )

 

Used GIMP to put them all together as a GIF anim. Adding ALTERNITY in a daedric font.

 

Random insignificant project, but I liked the idea
