jfields 0 #1 February 12, 2003 Hey graphics gurus, I'm looking for a little bit of help with a small graphics project. I have software to take a bunch of images and make them into a GIF animation. The problem is that I'm sucking at figuring out the proper sequence of images to make something vaguely looking like realistic motion. I've attached a picture that shows all the images, with corresponding letters. I'd like to get a nice sequence of about 14-18 figures that I can link up to make an animation. They can be a little jerky, but I'd like the motions to be nice. The last image does *not* have to loop to the first, so it doesn't matter where the sequence begins and ends, just that it look as nice as possible through it. I'm not looking for anyone to actually make the animation, just help me by giving me a string of letters that represent a good order for the figures. Thanks!

jfields 0 #3 February 12, 2003 Unless I'm missing something, that looks like a static image. What I'm looking for is the sequence. I actually have colored and differently sized versions of the figures that I'll link up with some other stuff into the animation. However, the ones I will be using are in the same body positions, so the cheat-sheet I posted showing them is accurate. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DTOXX 0 #4 February 12, 2003 Are you allowing your browser to load the animated gif? Or are you downloading the file and using some other view application? If I load this in an image viewer that does not recognise animated images I get the first image only. I have loaded this on two computers and it views fine. Of course I may have something else going on here???? Can someone else simply doubleclick on the image to load it in the browser please... ------- D.T.

jfields 0 #6 February 12, 2003 I tried viewing it in IE (with animated gifs enabled), and downloading and opening in animated gif creation software. It shows a single frame inside the gif. Upload the wrong one, perhaps? It is only 329 bytes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DTOXX 0 #7 February 12, 2003 I just downloaded the gif and have Size on Disc: 12.0 KB (12,288 bytes) ??? ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #10 February 12, 2003 PM'ed. Still no go on the download for some reason. I've done it repeatedly, and keep getting a 329 bytle image. Freaky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #12 February 12, 2003 Whoah. Way more effort than I wanted you to put in. Sorry I wasn't clear. I'm not looking for the animation itself, which I'll do. Just a smooth sequence. If possible, the arm & leg positions moving as gradually as possible in a normal transition. For example, Images b f g y u i h b s a d e c v z Or something like that. From there, I'll put my similar (but not exact) images into an animation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salamander 0 #14 February 12, 2003 If you are looking for a smooth transition from pic to pic you may want to learn how to use flash (tweening function). Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, graphics a-z are lined up fine, don't worry about figuring out the proper sequence- maybe between O and P, or S and T more motion so will be a tad jerky......or if running from Z back to A. Have fun!...play/experiment... Flash program does give you a vector image rather than jerky .gif/ also you can tween motion between your keyframes... example: http://members.shaw.ca/idgraphics/freedance.html Smiles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
