Title: Gif animation made by me
Post by: Trevlac on June 18, 2005, 11:43:10 AM
Uh.  I got really really bored for an hour.  So I made this.  I'd like some feedback so I know what to make better.  Obviously I should make the frames stay for only 7/100 miliseconds instead of 25/100.  And inch each frame pixel by pixel instead of chunk by chunk.  I should probably make the fighters move a bit more too.  Yeah, a lot to redo.

You should try making something a little less... er, stupid, rather than than try to improve this one.

It's rather silly but since Chao-Tzu kicks Raditz's butt, I think it's cool, haha.

It really pains me to look at anything Toriyama, but this gif was okay.

Well, Allen enjoyed it. ^_^

Post by: Trevlac on June 18, 2005, 04:39:32 PM
Yay for Allen!  He always supports me ^.^

Here is my new one (in my sig too:)

Okay, I did things more "frame-by-frame" but the dialogue is still kinda swift.

Looks a lot better than the first one.

*laughs* Wonderful.
Allen likes this one even more. Keep it up. ^_^

Post by: Trevlac on June 18, 2005, 04:59:48 PM
Yay, I improved my .gif anim skills to the 3rd power!  lol.  GIF^3 (Gif cubed)  Honsetly the first one could have been like that one.  And that one need a lot of improvements too.  Like slower dialogue and I need to modify the Kamehameha pose because it is too switchy.  I only made these within a few hours of each other.

Expect another one soon.  NEXT: Cloud and Sephy.

YAY! Cloud and seph.

The second one makes Moose happy.

Post by: VulcanRaven336 on June 18, 2005, 06:23:15 PM
Those are pretty cool.
What program did you use to do GIF. Animations?


PS: It's weird how people talk using they're own name such as allen. I really hope that doesn't become a fad.

The first one's a little too slow, and in the second one, the only problem was the Kamehameha Wave could have flowed smoother.

Plus, Buu didn't talk like that in that form.
Title:
Post by: Trevlac on June 19, 2005, 03:09:46 AM
Actually, that's why I made him talk that way.  I needed a way to show incredible fighting candy (which was only Vegito)  and Vegito only fought Super Buu (Gohan absorbed).  I wanted him to retain fat Buu's personality.  For comical sake.  I agree about the kamehameha wave but the problem was the frames ratio...the animation would have appeared to slow down if I added more frames for less chunky energy movement.  This one I'm definetly remaking because I got so much feedback on it.   But after Cloud v.s. Sephy.  Time to go get some inspiration.

The program I used is (believe it or not) Macromedia Fireworks.  Once I figured out how to do an animation and easily add frames, it was easy as pie.  Mmmm. Pie.

Sorry for this double post but it is required.  As some of you can see, I finished CLOUD V.S. SEPHIROTH.




Notice sephy makes the clouds go dark and summons Masamune, then Cloud flips his buster blade out and Seph uses his sword as a lightning rod to make it electric.  Cloud takes a jump-swing and Seph blocks with the conducting sword, but wait, Cloud knocks his sword down just as it loses charge!  Sephiroth gets pissed and creates a harmful barrier to blow his blood brother away and while Cloud is dazed, Sephy casts Fire 3 followed by Bolt 3 and finally, Meteo.

Sephiroth wins.

Cloud's attack wasn't too good. Plus, you could have made it wait a few seconds after the fight was over to make it flow more smoothly.
Title:
Post by: Trevlac on June 19, 2005, 06:45:27 AM
Yes, and Seph's a bit jumpy.  Especially at the part where he creates the barrier and shoots fire.  The part where Cloud gets hit by the barrier, there is kind of a pause, and he flies streight.  He should arc.

Yeah...so just a few things to fix this time.

EDT: Alright, fixed Cloud's no-arc, most of Seph's jumpyness, and I put a pause at the end.

wow, anything raised to the 10 and then to the 100 (googolplex) raised to the 82738927398274927382734827283678242342523 would be a number so large our universe could not contain it in any form.

Unless you put it in standard form...  _sweat_

Anyways, good work. Wish I could animate, but I'm sick of everything being trial version and I don't have an animation program.

I thought fireworks was like flash... so how does that work? I'd just do it with animation shop. But now I feel like making my own.

Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 19, 2005, 03:07:54 PM
 I'm stuck using ImageReady...
Nice animations by the way.
Title:
Post by: drenrin2120 on June 19, 2005, 03:13:09 PM
I liked the animations. But maybe the little ka-me-ha beam should have some more animation to it. but eitherway, it's a hell of a lot better than i could've hoped to have done! lol  (J)

Post by: Osmose on June 19, 2005, 03:32:07 PM
Flash is for making, well, flash movies. Fireworks edits images. They're hella different.

Also, using Flash to make pictures, as you say you do Asa, isn't really that smart. Only time when it would be sensible is if you're drawing something in flash. Even then, I'd still import it into Fireworks so you can set the filetype easier.
Title:
Post by: Trevlac on June 20, 2005, 12:58:43 AM
Agreed, Osmose.  And yes, Fireworks is way different than Flash.  In my opinion, it's better than Adobe Photoshop too.  Just 'cause I hate Adobe for having such a high learning curve and locking my comp.

Nice animations Davis *Thumbs Up^Reain*

Fireworks ... Flash .... PSP7 ... all those programs i can not use and suck, they all may be flashy coastly programs but in the end I always dragg my images back to good old MSpaint because Anything can be made in paint!!!

for animations I use MSpaint to make every frame and I use UnFreeze (which is legal and free ^_^) to animate every frame!!
Title:
Post by: Trevlac on June 21, 2005, 02:10:37 AM
bah, that would take ages.  Fireworks let me do it in less than 1.5 hours.

Smooth animations can't be made in MSPaint. Fast.
