ok i seen at least 3 people with 'i need a decent avatar' avatars.

so if anyone places an order for style and content, I will animate you a 20 second avatar for free.

i need some inspiration, music is driving me mad, i need some different creative output so i really dont mind.


smallprint: on the condition i own your soul for enternity as tribute.

well, my avatar is okay by me. Even if I was to change it, you would have to dicker with Saurdauker for my soul. Sold it to him a long time ago. (was full of holes anyway).

Um........................... .....come again? :huh

Post by: RTR on September 13, 2005, 07:34:24 PM
I guess some explanation is in order. Maybe Saurdauker ain't here anymore.

Saurdauker went looking for athiests. Wanted to take their souls, seeing as how they weren't using them. Originally, he offered $5.00 for each. I just gave him mine. I mean wtf,  it weren't doing anything for me, and I'm sure if it existed it had a few holes in it.

No big deal. It's not like I lost weight or anything. Don't hardly miss it at all.

So you see Meatwad, I ain't looking for male companionship, have my hands full at the moment. However, if you interested I could set you up with a hetrmaphrodite (my old workplace has one).  

J/K please Meatwad, no offence.

yeah, no joke. LOL

Search the forums for souls.

Was fun. (and to Saurdaukers benefit, it was all in fun for him too).

Mechanic

My CO has a cool avatar of a running dog that transforms into a P51.

I always wanted one of a ghost that morphs into a yak or la.

Option 2 would be a Hawk that does the same.

If your interested that is.

On the whole souls thing. If your going to sell it, at least sell it to the devil like Wilbuz did. I mean get SOMETHING for it.  :)

Bat if i email u a small avi, could you avatardize it for me?  It just needs to be cut down to 20 frames and resized, but i dont have the software.
Title: The Avatar Factory
Post by: Simaril on September 14, 2005, 07:55:17 AM
Would it be possible to take the prop behind the pirate skull, and make it spin up and then slow back down?


BTW, you have any websites references that tell have to do this? The whole avi thing is like dark magic to me...
Title: The Avatar Factory
Post by: mechanic on September 14, 2005, 08:30:24 AM
ghosth, thats a cool idea, i will have to spend a while on it as it will be frame by frame animation.



Geary, yeah go for it mate,   dj-fink@hotmail.co.uk

hows this?

(http://www.freeroleentertainment.com/simaril-avatar.GIF)



edit: hmmm, doesnt spin as fast as it did in the construction stage, maybe the net doesnt like 50 frames/second animations :)
Title: The Avatar Factory
Post by: Simaril on September 14, 2005, 10:26:47 AM
Prop looks great, but the skull movement......I dunno, looks vaguely obscene somehow.....:lol



Maybe, could you leave the skull still, and spin up the prop to a blur? Could just stop cold instead of the gradual slowdown thing...

Post by: parker00 on September 14, 2005, 10:49:17 AM
Hey if you could do one with something to do with the 68th it would be great, thanks!!!!





68Parker
Title: The Avatar Factory
Post by: mechanic on September 14, 2005, 11:20:19 AM
yeah i know what you mean about the movement :)

its very hard to place a skull cut out over 120 frames in exactly the same place, os i figured a moving one would be better, but i agree its not.

will sort that by some kind of overlay thing.




Anyone who has requested an avatar so far (including you 68parker) will have one posted from them by this sunday. everyone else has to wait till next week.

was not expecting much interest, swaped already
:confused:


if only my real life business had so many quotes out i would be rich.






ALSO: do a search for Gif contruction set pro  if you fancy trying your own hand at it. its freeware and fully fuctional and even a mook lik eme figured it out in a few minutes.

Post by: Pooface on September 14, 2005, 11:45:45 AM
wow bat, those look great. could you possibly do me one? or a squad logo for us?

i was thinking of an eagle swooping down through a picture while turning into a spit?

thatd be awesome if you could do. or if thats too hard, just go nuts, maybe something like steffs with the swirling eagle squadron crest.

infact yeah, could you do the ES crest, with just the writing, and then the eagle swoops in and completes the logo. thatd be sweet!:D

Hey Mustaine, you fancy helping out with this ?? :eek:
you sound like you know what your doing



Anyone who can animate and has the will to help someone here for a few minutes can feel free to take the requests.

then the thread can just be used as what it is, an avatar factory :)


I have to go see my old man off from Liverpool this weeked, he is sailing round the world in the Clipper 2005 race, be off for 13 months so I wont be back till sunday night but i will promise to get onto these requests one by one untill no one need wear an avatar they dont like.

and hopefully others will help people out also, and also people post up avatars without owners like our helpfull friends Edbert and mipoikel. always community first with these guys, amazing.

The only thing I could do with it, was shrink it, so it would even display (something about too many colors or some such). Maybe you could work the colors so it could be animated or something to make it a lil bigger!

sweet work chimp,



try....  playing with a few pixles on the edges of his clothes and in the back ground to give the impression of wind and movement even though stnading still. would make it look awesome.


maybe a few lazer beams firing back at them, yellow ones, and the odd bit of debry floating by.


should be able to do it all in under 90 frames then loop it.

it would tough, but not impossible.

best way would be a suscession of screen shots at 1/4 second intervals made into a slide show.

i seem to remember Urchin had a good quality avatar that looked like ah film.

I think i'm gunna need ideas posted if you need your avatar done.


post an image or whatever and i will avatarise it for you. Or failing that i will use your squad nose art or an existing un-animated avatar.

my apologies, far too much work i took on.
i will post something soon i assure you.

patience please folks, avatars are more popular than first expected.


I finally figured out how to upload my noseart as an avatar. I tried to pm ya' but your mail box is full ... lol Guess you got a crazy amount of requests. If you need me to try to get it done on my own let me know .... or if you need my help in any way tellme what to do.

I think this is where I can ask this. Can I have an avatar made for me please.

Something along the lines of this.


A picture of an arm going into a flex then a shot of a P-51 then the words "Pure Muscle" at the end.

That would be awsome but if no go then no worries. Just thought this might be the place to ask. Thanks in advance.

If you guys dont realize it, this is not an official get-an-avatar thread.

A couple guys volunteered to help if people needed it, but the response was more than they expected and life suddenly got busier.  Avatars may happen, they may not, but dont get frustrated if you dont see anything posted.


If you look through the thread, you'll see some advice on how to get the software to make your own...in case that would owrk for you.

You can also make non-animated avatars by using the Paint program in windows -- load any picture you like, adn resize it!

thanks simaril, im sorry guys, there were just too many requests.

what you need to do is get what ever material and images you want and post them to me in a PM or by email  dj-fink@hotmail.co.uk

then i can maybe get round to putting it together for you.

or better yet ----->

I found a handy lil tool called the GIMP http://www.gimp.org/ (http://www.gimp.org) and best of all it's FREE.

It's got a lil bit of a learning curve to use it, but it works good!

I did a lil tweakin to mine and and Holly's, nothing really fancy or anything, but a lil bit better than they were!

BTW, Furby did the bulk of the work on Holly's, I just tweaked it a lil bit.  :aok

thats the understantement of the year!

I feel terrible that i made alot of people belive i would make them an avatar.  I swear that i had good intention from the start but when over 25 requests came in under 2 days, i got scared and hid under my bed for a few days, then i came out and admited my foolishness. lol


there are alot of you i still owe personal appologies for ceasing to communicate or not responding at all to. i hope this thread may have helped in some way where i failed so miserable.

brilliant to see how many of us took the step to make your own. thats the best thing to do with anything your want that is possible to make by yourself.

self productivity and success is they key aspect in self respect, and self respect is the key aspect to a happy life imo.

This free little program is a jewel when your playing with lots of images.

Opens & saves to every graphic file type known to man, yes even windows icon.
Grab a corner  to crop/cut with a single mouse click &  drag.

Extremely full featured and capable this program is amazingly small and well written. The only thing it does not do is create from scratch. You need paint, pspro, etc for that.

So small & well written it can be run from a CD without being installed at all.
Ohh yes & best of all, its free, totally free. No ads, no shareware, no nothing.

(no offence) but what Skychimp made get's pretty old and mechanic made a brilliant one, but it just doesn't fit. And since I'm not in the mood to sport shooting clones can I get:

An eye. Should be simple; a big almond shaped brown eye, not hazel, not cat-like, not blue or green. It should be an almond-shaped brown one.

Then, I want a sort of reflection on the eye, indicating someone approaching, then, when it gets near, the eye pupil just looks/moves downward and to the side, kinda like it's ignoring/rejecting the thing that's approaching. Maybe the eyelid could droop a little when it looks away. Understand?

I'm extremely dense with all this animating stuff so I have a better chance at killing a 262 in a p-40, than making one for myself.

Please? :)   I CAN REWARD!!!

I'll let whoever makes it kill me ten times in the MA :D
