How to make animated signatures?

[PEONMASTER]

Hye everybody. How can I make an animated signature? I've tryed with Flash MX and stuff like that...but what format does my signature picture have to be?

Any help appreciated,
PEONMASTER

 

[Pepper]

yo, bitch. it gotta be a .gif if you intend to make a signature over a forum.

 

[PEONMASTER]

A .gif? But how do I make a .gif have an animation?

 

[Pepper]

you make the animation, then optimize/export it so its a .gif

 

[PEONMASTER]

yes...I think I might have gotten it.



lol...that's really lame...I'll make something better (and hopfully a little smaller) for my signature.

 

[Pepper]

what about peon porn? i think some people enjoys viewing long minute of dancing polygons, especially half-conscious africans rotting under the sun that are the home of many intestinal worms.

 

[PEONMASTER]

hmmmm

 

[Pepper]

hmmmm

maybe you could worship me, you know, betwen two mens, nothing too homoerotic though..

 

[olofmoleman]

Pepper, you are just a rally sad person... I almost pitty you, almost

 

[Xeridanus]

I agree with Olof, what the smeg do you hope to gain from agrovating all of us?

 

[Capcy]

i dont remember wormskull but...

 

[Pepper]

i am maybe sad, but im euphorical and i enjoy my life, but isn't that too off topic?
well, uh..i hope you inhale many cat hairs and suffocate as they fill your lungs, i was just trying to help.

 

[PEONMASTER]

Hmmmmm...need to figure out how to speed it up a little...other than that it's sort of how I wanted it.

 

[ben_xuereb]

your on the right track, and yeah i agree with olof your a real sad minded person, pepper

 

[Kimbo]

seriously W.S give up, your sprung..
Mr. Pepper...muahaha..
um yeah your gettin on the right trac, but try a more..um..effect that isnt so repeative and well maybe make him blink or somethin.

 

[ben_xuereb]

yeah lol good idea also what if some footys are attacking and peon kicks em away xD lol

 

[Pepper]

you could consider giving him a face that contains more than 6 polygons, roflmao it looks like a natural crystal formation har har har ( geek joke )

 

[PEONMASTER]

6 polygons??? I thought it was 8!!!

I agree...it could be much better...I've never made one of these before though, so...maybe I'll get better.

 

[Pepper]

no no, the animation is ok, even tho around the pickaxe there is yellowish stuff.

you could try lyke going in wc3viewer, print screen your peon then remove the grey around him and cnp him into a scene so maybe it could be easier eh?

im just giving you a macro vision of it, but it is really more complicated than what i shouted.

and remember: long live space race, long live romania ah..ah.. :?:

 

[PEONMASTER]

Can't use WC3V cuz...I have a mac...I can use Virtual PC but...it's a pain in the butt. I'll get something to work.

 

[Pepper]

eh? oh wah yes k suure u r certain? cos ive heerd mac is like lower in size in some certain, maybe beceause of the librairies but its certainly a mystery, to,, ad, don't orget whatefver yu dot yhertrs the dsilouette man thin liek a sword but black lyke #00000 and geven more trhan that lowllll

no, nv, ,an not rallt lewlz5. u shuld mayve make a seperate layer for the peon arm and then maybe youd havce less trouvle considiring tou probablgyt have some. its just some suggrstrion man dont return the favor i dont mind its reallt a therapy, but quiter an useless one, the kind of one whwere you certainly loose your time and it stills ends up considered as sp«m?!

maybewwww u ahouls fer animation sbghobp, yo and ehat program do you use for animations exactly«?

shiit afdi dont knwo ghow itgs posbiel for somrtone to type so much witbhout rly geetbing an d hear tattack

 

[PEONMASTER]

...I'm working on another one...bunch of footies run after the peon and peon kicks them away...

 

[Pepper]

[PEONMASTER]

This has got to be the worst one so far...and BTW, I didn't understand ANYTHING that you just said.

 

[ben_xuereb]

sorry i gotta say this, PEON PWNAGE LOL
oh btw what program are you using? lawl you inspiried me to make somthing funny just like n00bystance and ragingspeedhorn

 

[olofmoleman]

This has got to be the worst one so far...and BTW, I didn't understand ANYTHING that you just said.

Never make aniamted gifs that big, they become insane large files.

 

[Kimbo]

yeah..totally insane..i just fitted my avatar in and i had to reduce the dimensions and the quality..the quality was on 2/5

 

[N00byStance]

lawl you inspiried me to make somthing funny just like n00bystance and ragingspeedhorn

I didn't make that insane gif, just found it somewhere

 

[Pepper]

This has got to be the worst one so far...and BTW, I didn't understand ANYTHING that you just said.

i hope you dont call that kicking, otherwisely my two femurs wouldve disconnected from my ankles

 

[PEONMASTER]

Well...I was sort of calling it kicking, but I DID say that it was the worst one so far. I didn't realize about the alignment problem...

And I know I shouldn't make such big .gifs, I just couldn't help it.

And as far as the programs (and I'm not sure this is the best way), I'm using Fireworks MX to make all the frames, and then importing them into Flash MX.

I'm not sure why the last two had that white border around them; I think it's something that Flash MX did to them, but it didn't do that on the first one. That's why the first one was smaller even though it had 20 frames.

 

[Pepper]

check the size of the flash, then when you export as a gif make sure its not static ( duh ) and check the size

 

[PEONMASTER]

Well each of the frames say static if I hold the mouse over them in Flash...

 

[PEONMASTER]

OK I just cropped the gif and now it's all good...still big, but half the size.




.......(sry for double post mods).......

 

[Pepper]

do you use layers?

 

[PEONMASTER]

In Fireworks or Flash?

 

[Pepper]

i never mentionned fireworks in any of my previous posts o_o

 

[PEONMASTER]

Fireworks = program for editing images.

 

[Pepper]

i know what it is damnit! i was talking about flash, the generic shizzle for animation

 

[PEONMASTER]

me be confused by u...:?

anyhow me is making new one.

EDIT: Here it is!:



EDIT#2: harharhar...I made another...

 

[N00byStance]

lol? :lol: w/e. The first one owns the second.

 

[PEONMASTER]

I know.

Hey...anyone want to share their animations? Maybe I could learn a thing or two from someone elses...


um...footmen suck so:

 

[sfger]

ok ok i need help too whis this ok first thing first how the heck do i change the dam image into gif? and how do i export it couse normly when i do i get like not one pic that works but like 20 that dont work....

 

[PEONMASTER]

I'm on a mac...I just export the movie as an animated .gif...

 

[sfger]

um ok ok um how do i choose what it exports as? like norm when i do it i get like 1 pic per frame and non of em like move when i put them up and p.s. dont ask how i did an animated avater couse i got this from a blizzard site if you want i could tell u the site it has a pic of a peon attacking sort of like my avatar and oh yah if you want to make the thing your slef to go along with the you=peon me=peon master thing you could make a thing that shows like a normal peon and it says you....peon... then it show like a giant peon killing it then it could say like me....peon master! or something just a sojestion p.s. that one where the peon attaks the grunt is kinda cool just change the grunt to a normal peon p.s. i cant wait to post my ninja owning ever thing :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: lol if you tell me the export thing i might be able to email you some frames and stuff of a giant peon owning everthing in site and give you credit for some of it as long as you say i helped

 

[PEONMASTER]

Are you using Flash MX? If you aren't, then I don't have any advice. If you are, the just do export movie and a box will appear and you name it and select the type of file; "Animated gif"...

 

[sfger]

hi man thanks dude so you gonna use my idea with the like peon or what ever ph yah and just ask if you want the site and if you do u can open up the frames and use themv in flash mx and hey wanna be friends? and oh yah im making a map sort of for\ dedecated to you called peonmaster killing spree it ngonna be so cool p.s. no afense but the maps just couse om bored oh well i hope you like it! and oh yah if u ever have anything you need to tell me quikly meesage me(not e-amil) p.s. if you odnt see me on much its becouse what ever time the thing says i posted it at right now my time its like 9:43 am

 

[PEONMASTER]
