avatar test

[Felix]

tell me what you think
I know, I know, I have 0 skills at making avatars, but I tried.

[DarkCloud]

It's a bit too fast if you ask me. try slowing it down or adding more frames to increase the time "~world" is on it.

[luck777jojo]

yeah easiest way would be to cut down the "#of frames per second" or just add more frames (adding more frames might make it bigger ;))

[Felix]

Note: this is my first time ever doing this, give me some ideas :p
im not using ps though, so I might not be able to do things that it can.

[luck777jojo]

it's better.... maybe adding a bit of text formating to the words ;)

[Felix]

Hrmm, such as?

[DarkCloud]

It's looking better how about putting a picture in the background. I think it would look a whole lot better.

[Felix]

Yea, if only I knew what type of pic I could put in it :p

[Malicious]

Yeah needs something else man... A little flasheier i guess..

[Felix]

Well hey, I am using Paint for the graphics..so....

[DarkCloud]

ms paint for your avatar?

[luck777jojo]

I meant text formating such as adding a bit of colour to it or maybe using a wierd font of some kind ;)

my current one, no. but the words and such in the animated one, yes.

[DarkCloud]

oh what are you using to make it?

[Felix]

some freeware i downloaded. CoffeeCup GIF Animator 6.2

[DarkCloud]

Oh that'll make it much easier for me to make GIF's

hmmm... Try using the same font and color as the one in your avatar right now

[Felix]

Yet another test, this time with a MPC banner in it.

[bigtimestuff]

Cool. the D could be a little more d like though.

[Sno]

you should get adobe photoshop *cough*kazaa or mirc*cough*
er uh ya um it has image ready in it its really good for this crap try it

[luck777jojo]

yeah well he has 56k.... machiko actually offered him an oldr version o photoshop that she no longer usuee but bought so.... yeah but... 56k isn't gonna help his search :(

[Felix]

Well I have cable. But it is slow occasionally. And Sno, I am a cheap mofo. I like freeware stuff, KaZaA is spyware and ****ed up my computer last time I had it :(

[Malicious]

thats why there is kazaalite ;)

[DarkCloud]

How bad did it screw up your computer?

[bigtimestuff]

Does anybody kno exacty what kind of spyware kazza puts on your computer and waht its used for?

[luck777jojo]

it's used for displaying popup ads, logging your activities, searches, etc. I'm not sure exactly where and what is installed though :p

[bigtimestuff]

Hmm World i think i might have an idea for it. can u import images into your coffee cup animator thingy?

[Felix]

I don't know excately what it did, but I had to buy a new computer thanks to it. I don't trust any download source like that anymore.
It made it impossible for me to boot the comp up, and when it did boot up, it would take about 20 minutes and would crash after I opened anything.

And yes I can bigtimestuff. I can upload images, but thats about it. The images have to be premade. For example, I can't make an image in it, I have to make it somewhere else.

[bigtimestuff]

Ah i got antsy and just did it myself. I wanted to learn more about image ready anyways. Sno is right it has a TON of options i reccomend it also. So heres an Idea that switches the messages on the same sign. :p

[Felix]

So..which one do you like more?

My current or this:

[luck777jojo]

no offence but..... personally I liked the one that bigtimestuff made the most.

[Felix]

Im using that one on SXH. I am trying to create my own for use on MPC.

Anyway, my current one shows the one that wooolF did to all of us on April Fools. I liked it, so I am trying to imitate it.

Just get Animation Shop 3 (http://www.jasc.com), the free trial lasts like 60 days, if you can't make something you like, commence deleting your C drive.

:chinese:

[Felix]

It has some nice features.

[Felix]

I can't add an attachment to that for some reason, so sorry for the double post. Hows this? :p

[Unreal OwnZ U]

Too.. whats the word.. basic!

Get Animation Shop and add some advanced shit, its easy too, just add two images and then a transition.

:D

[bigtimestuff]

Oh so my designs not good enough for mpc huh? :p lol j/k
well that is kindof basic try some filters or something i dont know exactly waht your trying to accomplish but if your just trying to make it llok cool try some artisitc or stylized filters can do the trick. ;)

[Felix]

I did get animation shop. It is alright, but whatever. Mine know pwnz. Felix the cat is awesome.

And bigtimes, if you go onto SXH, you'll see yours is being used nicely, thanks. :p

[bigtimestuff]

Hehe he looks worried about something. Funny animation I like it.

[Felix]

He is worried about someone trying to kill him. i dunno what he is doing :D

[luck777jojo]

hehe felix the cat..... that was the best comic book/ cartoon show ever ;) :p

[Felix]

hell yea!

[bigtimestuff]

hehe that was a funny comic but i dont rember seeing the cartoon. when was that on? He reminds me of scratchy;)

[Felix]

It was a great show, I forget when it was on though. I got my mom a Felix clock for her birthday, the eyes and tail move each second. Its sweet :p

[luck777jojo]

hehehe I remember those clocks.... the were awesome.

BTW the cartoon was on about 4 or 5 years ago ;)

[Felix]

Well, I am not looking for a new avatar. Felix stays. I have an interesting project though. Anyone want to make a animated gif of the little yellow AOL guy running? Like in the commercial on tv for AOL Broadband. I've always wanted to do this, but I have no skills.

[Machiko]

I could make a 3D model of him running, shooting ut2k3 guns if I wanted, and so could you. Download GMAX since you probably won't want to buy 3dsmax. Get a tutorial ...many out there and just make him. Then send to me, I'll animate it in char studio. It's very simple to make world, especially with the aol guys simplicity. Give it a try.

[Felix]

I attempted to do it, found some tutorials, but its beyond my skill with design things. Its a cool program though. Is that what is used to make 3d objects and such?

[bigtimestuff]

Yah thats like the ghetto poor mans version of 3D studio max which is the best one at 3d design imho.

[Z[o]Fre><]

I've used GMax and 3ds (rich friend's) and I found GMax a little buggy, but maybe it was just XP. Fine for making stuff tho, I don't think the AOL dude warrants 3d programmage.

[bigtimestuff]

i was thinking of the one from the tv comercial where hes 3d and running around grabbing things... wait maybe that was the pillbury doughboy nm.

[H4ze]

LOL. Adobe image ready 3.0 is very nice for gif animations.
