Epic fail.

 

Please rate and tell me what you think.

Made using paint -.- der has to be faster way of making gifs then endlessly closing and opening paint and saving and resaving -.-

 

if anyone knows good gif animation proggy that eliminates this a thousand thank you's to you.

 

Rep Plz :D

 

 

 

- i ask because mt previous one had over 200+ frames ***burnout***

 

Also not mine but I hope I get this good one day

 

if by proggy you mean program, then flash is that proggy. its custom made i guess for animation. it has a timeline, its own code, and tons of other features. making that in flash would take me like 5 minutes maybe shorter for creation/upload. get flash :D

That has 6 frames, how is that even remotely tedious?

My thoughts exactly.

I chuckled, so don't feel bad :P

If you make over 200 Frames in Paint then you are stupid.

 

I've heard GIMP can do stuff like that, but I don't use it so I wouldn't know. Wait for Shiny or Pat, or someone else to back me up.

I'm sure GIMP has some open source way of animation. You can do it in Illustrator as well, but that is with photoshop and either costs money or needs to be pirated.

Photoshop isn't anything I'd suggest for animations. From personal experience, flash is better..

And mine.

 

 

 

I'd also recommend looking into Flash if you're seriously interested in animating, Gimp and Photoshop have some decent options for animations, but they won't get you terribly far. I'm sure you could find some open source/completely free alternatives to Flash too though.

hmmm ty ..... time to learn how to do sprites and flash animations

Try GraphicsGale maybe? I think It's easy to animate with, haven't used it for that though.

A little late , but yeah you do it in layers and can set it to animate the layers.

I think I could throw together a tut tommorow.

To make animated GIFS you should try Graphics Gale, its free. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

EDIT: Woops, sorry. Didn't see that.

 

 

 

for some advice, can some one point me in the right direction to make animated gifs from sprite sheets ?

That has already been suggested :x Although I do support what you are saying, it is a great free program.

I use a really simple program called Jasc Animation shop 3 for making animated GIFs, it's not good at all good for actually making the frames (about the same as paint, but it supports transparency), but it's as easy as copy -> paste as new frame to animate something made using a different program. And its file compression is really customizable. I don't think I kept the URL for the safe torrent I used but I'll see if I can find it.

 

 

 

Edit: I've got the address, but I'm not sure of Tip.it's stance on this, could someone clarify?

I don't think it's allowed, better ask a mod. But can you pm that link to me please?

 

 

 

Edit: Whoops, didn't know... Don't pm me then :

Jasc is a programme you pay for, right? Then it's illegal to download it for free via torrents, please do not post the link nor pm people with it.

There is a program called PhotoScape that has a GIF animator, but it's just a pretty basic put-pics-in-a-timeline-and-choose-interval software. I tried it a couple times, but then I got Photoshop.

 

 

 

Forgot the link though.
