Maria Holic Animated Gifs

Er, I got slowed down on blogging episode two because of the cool OP… I’ll be updating this post as I finish .gif files. I used this tutorial to make the animated .gif files in Adobe CS3. If you want to use them, please don’t hotlink the images; download them and then upload the pictures to your own space.

    Nice! maybe you can have Maria continuously strumming the Matsuriko guitar instead of playing one note and then pausing.

    This is pretty cool for a first try (er, i think its ur first… :love: ), but I also agree with TJ, MOAR CONTINUATION! I’ve only tried animation with Corel Painter X, but now that I illegally have CS3, I say why not? :3

    btw, is it possible to use gifs on your gravatar account? If so, I’m definitely gonna start animating again :cool:

    Pretty cool, looks nice. I agree with the rest, continuous strumming would be even nicer :grin: . I imagine the toughest part of creating ani-GIFS is getting screenshots quick enough to keep the animation from looking jerky? Or is there a program that’ll do that part for you?

    This was a tough .gif to do because the motion is naturally jerky in the source video. You’d probably have to cut some frames to make it continuous, or go backwards for a portion.

    I’m about to upload the second set, which will look much smoother.

    Would have made great avatars if I still had that plugin ):
