How to make ur own avatar?

Does any1 know how u make ur own animated gif?. u know the ones w/ people's names in them?. I would really like to know.

Thanks in advance ;-D

 

You need a program like Animation Shop 3 from Corel -- it's available here as a 30 days TRIAL :- http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3/Products/Display

There you make one frame at a time then click a button and complete the animation ! Very simple !

 

Sweet, thank you soo much. I'll give the trial a go!.

 

Question is, do you want to spend a few hours of your time to learn how to make professional ones? If so "buy" Photoshop or Fireworks, IMHO they are the best, and a great site for photoshop tuorials would be www.good-tutorials.com or www.pixel2life.com

@Jeanc1
On a scale of 1 to 10 where would you rate Animation Shops usefulness in terms of drawing, e.g Saturation, Color Balance, Fade etc etc?

 

Who am I to judge a piece of software -- !! I would not dare !

You see software is very subjective , it all depends on the needs of the person using it ; spell your needs first then look for software that does meet those needs -- then if it exceds them, think if its worth the extra cash to you.

Animation 3 is a basic piece of software that does not cost one quarter of the cost of Photoshop -- so one should not compare and consider before investing hard earned money in something that may well be too much to make avatars !

 

to be honest im not much of a software kind a guy

if it does what i want it too i dont question it.

i have never bought a piece of software (although i have acouple by other means *cough*)

i like freeware

i think everything should be free.

but there again i wish we lived in a perfect world

anyone know a prog for creating images (for psp really) that look good. i have some artistic flare

but all the progs i have tried are either complicated or well sh**

 

No I wouldnt spend any money for animation software. I would prefer just a trial or freeware. I have never really used a program like corels animation shop but it seems difficult, but its fun to figure it out.

Thanks.

 

i agree with raven,i think everything should be free,and i think that scroungers like the stupid websites that charge you $20 to download somethin and it turns out you could've gone to a different site and got it for free!!!
