Eric Roberts must be turning in his grave... wait a minute...

...blah blah...I know Mono is probably doing most of the sigs,...

 

What, I do all the attention whoring and Mono get's the credit. Everybody hates me. I'm leaving this forum.

What is the current avatar image size, did it change recently, was it limited by pixels or filesize? I haven't done one in a while:lol:

 

And how do you make the animation? Is it similar to animated textures?

[RedHawke]

I believe Avatars are a max of 120 X 120 Pixels and or 40 kb.

[REDJOHNNYMIKE]

Thanks:)

Now how do I animate it?

 

edit: I forgot to ask, does the forum support alpha channel transparency?

[Xbx_Inthusiast]

I'm thinking of making my own little sig shop. But seeing as there is a sticky, it won't be worth much because it'd probably get locked or deleted. Anyway, I have about 20 sigs that I made myself, and the one below I made a couple days ago. I have more brushes and I know how to animate now.. so

 

@REDJOHNNYMIKE

If you have Adobe Photoshop, make a sig then go to 'ADOBE IMAGEREADY' and use that to make animations. You can find some tutorials at the graphics section of 'www.se7ensins.com' though, you have to make an account to view it. I also posted all my made signatures there under the name of 'merios'. So if any of you make a name at the site, check out the graphics showoff area.

 

If you do specifically want me to create you one, PM me with the details. 'Name, motto, basic design, render link (optional)' and i'll get to it. I probably won't be checking on this thread very often.

Thanks:)

Now how do I animate it?

If you mean a transparent .gif, look at my avy. hehe

Its just 2 layers set on a 10sec delay. (not really an animation, but the same principle.)

 

EDIT: Xbx_Inthusiast beat me to it. Better explanation too.

[REDJOHNNYMIKE]

Photoshap trial ran out, back to GIMP, anybody know how to animate with that program?

 

I'll get the main design finished as soon as I coax my PC back from limbo:xp:

Ditto for me. GIMP isn't exactly the greatest for making sig/avvies.

[RC-1162]

if you re-download the Photoshop trial, would it help? cuz even my trial period is over

You can't. You only get one thirty-day trial period.

[Xbx_Inthusiast]

You guys should go to se7ensins.com's forums. Just look around, you might just find what you need for photoshop...

[RaV™]

How do I make my signature have a picture/ banner on it? Yeah might be wrong area to post this, but I'm just returning from a long hiatus so bare with me..

[RaV™]

Thank you.

[DarthLinde]

your welcome do you need a picture or do you have one?

[RaV™]

I have one on my comp, but I can't find the url for it on the internet.

[DarthLinde]

Have you uploaded it?

[RaV™]

I can upload the picture without the url? O.O

[DarthLinde]

You have to upload the image on to the internet then you get a url, I was asking if you did that

[RaV™]

Where could I upload it? XD

[DarthLinde]

http://www.photobucket.com if you want to sign up i'll find some free ones one second

 

http://www.pictiger.com is also good and you don't have to sign up

[RaV™]

It says bmp files aren't supported -_-

[DarthLinde]

convert it but it may screw up the colors

 

jpg's best for not screwing up pixels

[RaV™]

Thanks with your help I figured it out I appreciate it.
