[AzSvFeZ]

lol! well I just got back guys...

 

[AlmightyJeebus]

Hey fezzy! Did you just get back?

 

[Roller]

Jeebus, stop with the trolling.

 

[AlmightyJeebus]

Fine I'm done. for now

lol jk jk but in all seriousness, new animation, I messed up on the sonic blade (too fast) and the bg (too red) but here it is

 

[Conker315]

hey thats pretty good
hearless sora is freaking crazy

 

[AlmightyJeebus]

Ima put that in my examples

 

[Roller]

nice job. Like you said, Sonicblade was too fast. Other than that, pretty good.

 

[AzSvFeZ]

Edit:gimme a sec it messed up

And theres my animation that Jeebus and Roller corrected!
(Mostly roller)

 

[AlmightyJeebus]

Fezzy, the animation is good, but I realize now that it's on a black bg, you didn't render inside the rings as well as outside, you forgot some of the flames too.

IMHO, good animation, sloppy rendering

 

[pikapwr980]

Hey guys. nice work u got goin at this shop here.

U may knw me from totally pwning DH_Ninja

The real animations are here man.

I am a hopeful recruit of the allstar shop o' sigs. Watch out for when I post my stuff

[Roller]

Gimp. That's where it's at. =)

Pikapwr, glad to see another pikamainer interested in joining.

 

[Conker315]

[AlmightyJeebus]

you can use each layer as a frame then when you save as .gif and click save as animation, them frames ull muve right quick

 

[Roller]

Conker. Find some tutorials. There are a few beginners tutorials on youtube that can help you to grasp the basics. I suggest you watch them. After you get the basics down I would be happy to give you the benefit of my experience and help you with some more advanced stuff and how to hone your skill with the basics.

 

[Conker315]

lol. Glad to see you're taking the steps to start animations. I actually started with animations. So I know exactly how you feel working with Gimp for the first time and being confused, trust me, after a little while it gets easier.


I promise. =)

 

[AlmightyJeebus]

he's not lying, after about my 4th failure, everything started coming second nature

 

[Conker315]

and hiii pikapowa!!!!!!


EDIT:sorry for the size and for the white bg
but this is actually my first good 1

 

[Roller]

interesting.


Increase the framerate a lot. To do that go to

Save as.
save it as.....w/e it was
replace
save as animation
then a bunch of options should come up. in the frame rate one change it to a lower number, if it was 100 (the default) make it 80.


Hey Pikapwr!

 

[Conker315]

oo i see
i have a question
how can u make the bg transperant?

 

[AlmightyJeebus]

layers>transparency>delete layer should do it

 

[Conker315]

oo alright thanks
heres my second one

 

[AlmightyJeebus]

Increase the framerate bigtime, like go there and click the down arrow 3 times

 

[Conker315]

roller told me to put it in 80 so i did
let me try again then
and btw whats the difference?

 

[Kirby_Is_Da_Man]

kk, guys ill make it less taller, but don get hard on me. it was my very 1st sig u kno, but still i need all da help i can get, XD

 

[Roller]

your animation is moving WAY too slow and is WAY too choppy. You should really pick sprites with less movement between frames, like they only change a tiny bit each time.

Increasing framerate makes the animation faster, and by doing so a little smoother.

 

[AlmightyJeebus]

makes it go faster and in turn reduce choppiness

speakin of reduced choppiness, here's my latest animation

 

[Kirby_Is_Da_Man]

at Kid M, try making your sigs somewhere close to 375x115. Open the render file, click new, then set it to those settings I said, then copy paste the render onto the new one

i kno how 2 da that, lol. but i need lik a simple idea n fez, u never sent me da link

 

[Roller]

i kno how 2 da that, lol. but i need lik a simple idea n fez, u never sent me da link

Kingdom hearts. Lol, anything with kingdom hearts.

 

[Conker315]

hmm well ill practice more tomorow
i havent done a sig today so im making 1 =]

 

[Roller]

I'm gonna work on the intro for the first episode of my animated mini series now.

 

[Kirby_Is_Da_Man]

ok, then kingdom hearts it is. ill try my best, but ill c when i can do it. i got a busy day 2morrow

 

[Conker315]

I'm gonna work on the intro for the first episode of my animated mini series now.

ooo cant wait
sounds interesting
and i wana seeeeeeeee!!

 

[MojoMan]

see you guys for a month anyone wanna chat for 5 minites before I leave

 

[AlmightyJeebus]

I'll chat, so what did you think of my ani up there

 

[Roller]

ooo cant wait
sounds interesting
and i wana seeeeeeeee!!

You'll all see soon enough. =)

Just a few little factoids for those of you interested in the scale of this project and the time that has been put in to this, little over a minute long animation.

The animation is CURRENTLY (and this doesn't include the intro) 479 layers. It's file size is over 24 MEGABYTES, and I've spent hours and hours on it. I hope you guys enjoy it.

One little bit of info for you, there are no battles for your viewing pleasure in episode one. But expect them VERY soon.

After maybe 5 episodes I will put them together and make it a video and place it on youtube. (Maybe adding sound effects for the intro)

The series is as you know a Kingdom Hearts series, however does not follow the game storyline. It is kinda like back to the future (great movie) mentality. In that it is a seperate timeline from the games. It takes place some time after the first game...

Hope that wet your appetite a bit. I will have something to sink your teeth into soon.

Untill then, keep working hard on sigs/animations guys. A lot of you made a lot of progress just in the last day or so.

EDIT: Bye Mojo, I bid you a very fond farewell. And there will be a joyous celebration upon your return. Will you be able to log on occasionally during this month?
