Hey Pako if you get any spare time I thought of a cool avatar I would like.

It's three pics of a Viper, like I currently have, then a Viper going across the screen (across the image) and leaving "Stealth Viper" in its path in a smooth font. Get what I mean?

Just if you feel like it. My current one is cool, too.

Send me the pics that you want to be used for it, and I'll see what I can do. :D

I agree with ViperC! I like your current one as well. ;)
 
Can anyone make me a unique avatar of either pictures of a 360 from the 360 Challenge, or pictures of Tom's Castrol Surpra -or- the Denso Sard Supra from the JGTC? I want it to be sort of like Jordan's, in that it's high quality and it shows different levels of zoom and different parts of the car, not just a a bunch of pictures thrown together.

I'll give you some conceptual stuff in regards to animation and gifs. Rember back when you used to (maybe you still do) draw little figures on the corners of a book, changing each page just a little bit each time. When you would flip the pages you would see the movement known as animation. You brought life to the pages.

Most animation programs use this same concept. To give you an example:

Each page in the book would be considered a "Frame". Most of the avatars I create are usally no more than 20 frames tops. Unless you have some Effects Templates, you have to manually edit each frame until you have the completed movie.

To do individual frames, make sure each image has the same Canvas size. Example, for avatars they cannot exceed 64x64 picels. Lets say you want the word "Viper" to move accross the screen from left to right, you would do the following:

Image one might look like this:"Viper"
Image two might look like this:........"Viper"
Image three might look like this:.............."Viper"
Image four might look like this:........................"Viper"

Once you have all your images created, then you can start dropping them into individual frames.

Example:

Image one would go into Frame one.
Image two would go into Frame two.
......so on and so forth.

When your all done - simply export your project as a animated gif image. This will give you the word "Viper" moving accross the screen from left to right. With this basic concept you can do a lot of different things like change the sizing of the words just a little each time.

Example: Starting in the middle of the screen with the word "Viper" with a small font size. With each additional frame, increase the size just a little. Keep doing this and you'll get an effect of zooming in on the word "Viper".

There are a lot of techniques, your only limitation is your patience and imagination.



I hope this helps. You should be able to find additional resources on the "How Too's" in reguard to the program your using in the on-line help that came with the downloaded program.
