Thanks for that.

ur welcome

Could anyone teach me how to do this? I've been reading the instructional in the beginning but am having trouble isolating the image I want to move in Photoshop 7.0. I'm trying to make the hair in this pic- http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a192/Kod...om/P1020532.jpg move. I'm not that great with computer graphics but am trying to learn. Thanks alot in advance.

without a few film frames for that pic, this is all I can think of to do with it.......I'm sure there are lots of folks here that could do better, but thats all I can think of with one pic and paint..........sorry
I know you've asked about it a few times now

That's NP I know you guys are busy and you do great work. I was feeling like a pest so I thought I should try to learn on my own so I don't keep bothering you. Thanks so much for doing that. So you say MS Paint is better to start with than photoshop?

I just use paint, and this free MS gif animator,

and this free optimizer after my animation is finished:

thats the best place to start I think

Fixed, with the hand facing the Right way

Venledar if your up for a challenge or whatever (i know you are)

can you make smoke come from his cig?

how bout this?

I like it

thanks

sayntbrigid!

Looks like good stuff there but if I could make a few pointers...

It's not the speed of the animation that makes it a little psychadellic, it's the amount of frames. Do you have another program that can rotate more than just 90 degrees at a time such as Microsoft Picture Editor?

That way you can have more than 8 frames but keep the same speed, making it appear slower and smoother.

Also, you may have noticed Microsoft Gif Animator loses some quality when it makes Gifs, which is the main reason I don't use it anymore, if you'd like a better program just PM me and ask

Thanx Barman


PM on the way

Hey all,
When you got time I was wondering if anyone could just give the wisp of smoke on the left a bit of subtle movement.

[attachmentid=19542]

No rush though. Put me on the bottom of the priority list

Good stuff, I agree. I'd love to see the new results

I started the animated avatar workshop on my forum because I have learnt how to make them. But would someone like to give me a hand.

Oi!

Stop stealing animators!





......(kidding)

I thought you were being serious then. It's not the sam at all I would just like a bit of a hand. I was actually asking you.

It's ok I just have a sick sense of humor.

I guess it depends on how you want help, I'm an animator here on UM, and nowhere else. If you post here asking for help i will help you, if you want hints I can give them and there are the tutorials in the first post if you'd like to follow them.

However I can't come and animate on your forum, if that's what your asking. Purely because I have enough trouble finding time to animate on UM without working on another forum too

Hope that helps

I mean.....

Can I come here if there is an avatar I can't do.

I actually had a good laugh when I saw the only joking part. Just scary bwhen I first saw the red face.

Yes by all means, so long as you credit the artist that does it as "(animator) from unexplained-mysteries.com" then I can't see a problem.

As far as I can tell if people come here from other websites to get avatars thats a compliment not an insult

Barman, do you have a link for Microsoft Picture Editor......I dont think the right program is coming up in my search........thanx you for your time if you have a link, I only have paint... I will get whatever editor you would recommend.

good news and bad news for nick fury

Good News: The Bottom of our Priority List is also the Top! lol

Bad News: I cant animate smoke, (never found a tut on how)

Thanx Daughters of the nine moons I have my extra rotations made, now I have to repaint the backgrounds, working on that now........hope this comes out nice....I'm learning thanks to Barman

Thats ok Johnny

I tried to make one .

It didn't turn out very well.

Ok these are with 8 frames, rotated 45 degrees and repainted backgrounds:

sort of like this?

I dont know how to do wafting smoke.......I need to learn

if anyone has time could someone do something to my avatar? mabey make the flames move....

Hi different

My eyeballs are fuzzy and I cant quite tell which are the flames, is the lighter red part the flames? It gets to fuzzy for me to tell when I zoom, but if you could tell me which color is the flames, then I could think of something or if you have a larger pic

Could someone do a little photoshopping for me?

I would like this head put on the guy standing next to walt disney in this picture.... so it looks like he is standing with Walt.
Not sure if you will have to make the head a little larger for the proportions to look good or if you can use it the way it is?




thanks in advance!!

I dont have photoshop, but since you mentioned it, I need to look into that....I'm sure there are some people here who have it though, but thats not in my department.....yet , just dont want you to think I'm ignoring you

MWHAHAHA

thats prett y good StalingradK...u have some amazing skills

MWHAHAHA



awesome!!!!,,, stalingradk!! thank you!!!

thank, but I gotta getta work on your siggy frogfish...

sayntbrigid, this is pretty good. How much trouble would it be to define yin & yang (just the circle) in black as well as frame the avatar in black?

sayntbrigid if you need help doing that just ask

That's great but, if I may be so bold, could you possibly slow it down a bit and, after the smoke has moved from right to left disappear then rise again rather than detracting?

Big thankies

I uploaded a picture i just made but i can't find it! where is it?

can you be more specific?

once you have left the uploading site, it can be a bit hard to find your pic again. try uploading it again and see if that works.

also, can you tell me what the picture was and on what site was it on? perhaps i could do a bit of scrounging around for you.

i uploaded it from my computer

no...i mean, what SITE did you try to post it on?

this one in the image gallery, in the misc. section i think

what was it a picture of? *heads off to dig*

my avatar but animated

i think i've found your problem. here's a quote from the images page:




it's probably in one of the mod's mailboxes right now.

so it does not happen immediately?

no- it would be reviewed by a mod, and THEN posted. Let me PM SaRuMaN to ask.

The site image gallery is not actually intended for hosting forum avatars, it's for posting paranormal related photographs.

You'll need to find some web space to host your avatar on, such as imageshack, and then remotely link to it from there.

thanks !
