LHammonds Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Lookin Nice. The end-result was a file that is 37kb. A bit much so it might be better to not fade-to-absolute-black or cut the amount of frames in half to do it (and maybe double the length of time for each frame if you want to keep the same flow)http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o223/Purple_Eiries/Avatars/sbfin.gif How about this idea which would yield even fewer frames and have an even more unique look: The image would have the full-on look that the above image has...but the black fade effect would be a sweep effect in the shape of an eye lid and the transition would be very quick (hence the smaller animation size). It would be mostly still but have an occasional "blink." Maybe even another bit thrown in such as the brightest spot in the middle moving slightly to one side as if looking to the right (at the page content) and then straight back at the user. However, that might be a bit too much. Usually, the more simple the animation, the better it is (when you don't want it to be overly distracting or too large to download...which is the case of the most-commonly-seen poster on these forums!

baduk Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Ha! I was just wanting to show off my new toy robot is all.btw. moving the bones around worked a lot and now the balls are in all of the sockets like they are supposed to be. Anyway. U must look at the mod troubleshooting section a lot cause thats mostly the only place i post at. I do think the blinky red eyeball looking thing looks cool and all but i always imagined sitebot being more of a friendly r2d2 type of image. I would like to see more ideas from people cause we're supposed to have a lot of creativity around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
