If I were to program a stop motion program, that would probably take a LONG time to develop, I would most certainly want to be paid, not volunteer. It is difficult work. I created a webcam program, and had it save the pictures to my hard drive, but that was just 'the basics'. Even if we did try, how would it compare to all of the already free programs? Those are perfectly fine to use, and I don't see what's wrong with them.

If BiM has the same number of contributors and programmers that open-source software like Blender does, then it can be done.

Well, I've heard of it, and I've seen good things done with it, but the only prob is that I don't have a webcam, as it wont open up without one. But thanks for suggesting. (Speaking of webcams, which Logitech one is the cheapest, anyway?):)

I totally support the idea... I only wish there was someone or some company out there who made a hi-spec, fully Mac-compatible and non biased *death stares at Logitech* webcam.

I like the idea, and if we get some programmers to help us, this may work well.
I am not a programmer myself, though, but I know what the program would need.

I think you're getting way ahead of yourself. You're asking for a lot, and there is not even an official group for this. Yes, asking for a group to get together and build a program is easy, but actually programming is a nightmare. With so little programmers actually on BiM (a brickfilming website, not developing), the time spent on this would take forever. Without pay, there is no definite guarantee that that everyone is either going to stay or even do their work. Plus, there are many different programming languages out there, so the chance of finding a group that all know the same language is even harder.

Oooh...that burned! Just kiddin.:P  I understand what programming takes, and know that there are thousands of programming languages and codes. The best one would probably be C++ or Javascript.:|
I'm learning Javascript myself and it is complicated. And the teamwork; some people might not want to volunteer their skill. But how do the people who create freeware; if they can accomplish a feat, so could we. I mean, that's the spirit of brickfilming; we're freelancers! (Who might not get paid...)

Thanks for the tip; I'll see if there are any developers on sourceforge...:)

If anyone even uses this thread anymore, I support this and know some basic java (still learning) and would be willing to put some effort into this. I don't know anything about how to connect to webcams though. I thought about this myself and drew out a design, never actually tried making it though. If we can get some more help even if its just small things, then I say WHY NOT?
