Cobblers Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 How can I make an animated avatar with photoshop, along the same lines as the one Dan did me. (See left.) I ask, as I managed to make the following sig using an online tutorial. I got it from HERE? I thought I'd try and make an animated avatar to go with it, possibly spelling his name out.

Crimson Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Lots of different layers, then move your file over to ImageReady. Is that what you're asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squad_e Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 thats easy i have done loads of em, you need adobe image ready. Then you need to open a move file.. clicking file and open... The movie must be a quicktime movie or a mpeg movie only.. Sorry no others will work ..... When you see the movie in the options screenyou can play the movie.. Make sure you select the selected region only then you can drag the mouse on the time line.. I cant figure out how to put em on a sig yet... I will show some avatars soon..

Dan Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 What mpegs? Movies what? Your out of your mind boy!! Cobbs. Your using PS yeees? Well at the bottom of the tool box there is a big button with the PS logo on it. CLick it, and it will pen your image in Adobe Image Ready. It will show u frames, and what layers look like in each one. Go from there. You have my MSN, let me know if u need some more......one on one help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobblers Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 Cheers Dan, I'll need it I'm sure. And yes, I'm using Photoshop. Superb program, it's hard to get used to at the beginning, but getting the more I'm using it the better I'm becoming. Some people might think this is natural, but I'm normally crap at this type of thing, so I'm pleasently surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movies can be imported if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOG-ZEBRA Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Does this sound right to you guys, after jumping to Photoshop after image ready i simply save my layers as a .gif, but i only have the CompuServe GIF (*.GIF) offered in my pull down menu. i assume its the same thing since i know there is some kind of weird copyright/license thing surrounding the .gif format. Here’s the thing... my gif wont animate! I get I weird error message in image ready constantly, stating an unnamed error has occurred, but all seems to work fine. Any suggestions?

Dan Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 i dont know how to di it properly actually, all i do is open a preview in browser (button on the tool box, usually internet explorer "e") Then right click and save that image. Not pretty, but it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannik Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Here's a series of animation tutorials. It's very hard to explain how to create one, but it's easy to actually create it, once you know the technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 @dan, i'm not sure i know what your talking about dude. ← Ok so we are using imageready. In the main tool box, where all the brushes and selction tools are etc is a button that is usually the Internet Explorer 'e'. Click that, and it opens IE and displayus the gif, running, with info about it. File size, dimensions and some HTML gobbledigook. If you right click on your gif in this IE window, as if it was a pic u found on the web, you can save it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
