Retreiving Animation:
~ You can Right Click the animation and Click Save As. You can then save the animation gif to whichever folder or driver you like in your computer. Also, remember the name of the animation you gave the file.

Uploading and using Animation:
~After, go into your Viewing Profile screen then into your Avatar Options. Upload the animation by clicking on the Browse Button, then search for your designated folder, and that should be the folder where you last saved your animation. Click on the Animation file and Click the Open Button. Then Click the Update Avatar Button--et Voila!



Boy wasn't that a detailed instruction
---------------------

Okay, so it's Anakim next with his Avatar


Then Byuu64, with

i have my bear, and this is my 1st animation using GIF animator, so it might suck...

here it is

Actually I'll leave Anakim to the more experienced ones, Thebarman and UniversalAbsurdity (UA). I'm stumped on what to do with Anakim's. However, I have a perfect one for Byuu64

Here's my try!

I know, it blows.

whoa, that's pretty.. ummm... freaky....

real pictures are a challenge compared to cartoon stuff...

good job

Nice one Odin's girl, you put in a lot of graphics by the looks of it.

Okay Byuu64, this is what I've got for you.

Hmm, I was also thinking of having Byuu64's sword reflect light as he holds it near is head. I might have to edit that later on.

That is one EVIL bear!!

For Anakim, my idea was to animate the background somehow, but that didn't really do anything for the character.

Good job on the subtlety (however you spell it)

Hi UA and The barman,

I know you are both really busy,but I was wondering if you could give mine a go.

Its no rush for it,just when you are less busy please.

Cheers Freddy xx

Wow, that'll be a tough one.

No problem freddy


I can take out the first frame, if you dont like it, other than that i think its pretty good

Welcome back Barman! DotnM told me you were away... now burn baby burn!

Wow UA... you had a LOT of color lost in that freddy image..



to

that white dot on mine was buggin the hell outta me.... here it is fixed.. i think

Um.....thanks Blue-Scorpion, well I'm surprised for sure.
I'v emanaged to do a couple of my own, but I can't make them work. It says they're the wrong file type, but they're GIFs.

No problemo.

I tried doing the same thing by using the URL into the U-M digital code for images, from my own uploaded file from my website, and yet it doesn't work. One way to solve this is to upload it directly to your post, if it's less than 50Kb.

Otherwise, try using another website, that enables you to upload and organize image files. Like brinkster.com or photobucket.com

i SAW U USE THE SIMPLE APROACH ON ANOTHER AVATAR AND WAS HOPING U WOULD DO THE SAME FOR MINE THANX ! DO U THINK U CAN MAKE HIS HAIR MOVE TO?

ooh! ooh! ooh!!! Do me next! Pppllleeaasse. If you can come up with anything. I will love you forever.

how do you like this, i did it sorta fast, and i guess if any of the other animators make something, then you can choose....

here ya go

No offense drummer.. but that animation make that girl go from hot to eek..

the movement is far from natural.

lol, i know, but i'm new to this.... i can try again... i'm just not in the mood right now

i did this one just for the fun of it

I see why ThisFallenDrummer's animation seems unnatural.



Her bottom eye lid moves a tad bit more than it should...who thinks so?
Anyways, I would have done the same sort of animation as you did, but maybe add some movement of the hair.

yes, the bottom part of the eye movd to much.. but the eyebrow moves to far into her face.. not up from the eye, as it should

besides, when someone winks, the entire facial muscles move.. just looks like she's blinking.. one eye, and looks rather gay as is IMHO.

yes yes, i know, but all i have to work with is MS Paint and GIF animator, and i just started 2 days ago....

i tried the hair thing, and it looked pretty crappy....

oh well, i think we would all like to see your animations too blue and hunter

I got one for you MoonBaby. The blinking looks a bit more natural

Well I have no time to make animations this weekend. Maybe later on, next week. Summer School sure sucks the fun out of summer.

it's suppose to drive you insane.. so that you do well the following year, and actually pass..

so i've heard

Could you do something with mine? Maybe like a lightning flash or two in the background, if its not too much trouble.

I think this thread should be pinned, so that our new members could profit from UA's and the Barmans hard work.

Good call Phantom!

Yes UA, thank you very much, looks wicked, gonna try it on my avatar right now!

can't wait to see how that looks as an avatar. thats one sweet animation.

It works great, thank you very much UA.

awesooome!!

Thank you , thank you, for the wonderful comments

I just started looking all the way through the 'Writer's and Artist's Hangout' forum for this thread!

I thought it had been deleted or something and then I realised it had been pinned! Quality, nice one Phantom

A quick note, I'm on my home computer today which has no animation stuff on it, I do it all at work but I'm off sick

Hopefully I'll be back in action soon

The winner of the teddy bear animation was ThisFallenDrummer, I did some touch ups for the person asking for it. Here it is.

That one you did for me UA looks cool,thanks.

Maybe a stupid question but how do I get it as my avatar please.

Cheers Freddy xx

You right click on the image, then clock on properties and copy and paste the URL. I'll do it for you:

http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum...-1089640021.gif

Now copy and paste that URL into your Avatar settings link box. That should do the job.

thanks UA, I WON!!!!! the blinking looks cooler than the winking too

anywho, i made this a few days ago, and i wanted to make it my avatar, but i can't get the file size down without havin to do a whole buncha crap to it.... oh well

Thank you's people! Now I can be cool and fit in too!!!! Not really, but you guys did do a good job. And leave DrummerBoy alone. He tried, damnit, and that's what matters. Even if it did look like scary plastic come to life.

[EDIT]

i cant get used to this logging in and out thing
-UA

I took it upon myself to animate my wife's avatar, i hope she dosent mind

that looks like the art from tool's cd lateralus... possibly the ame artist?

awesome awesome artist if it's the same guy, a little messed up in the head tho, he does his shows naked and all sorts of odd stuff...
