A little present 4 u:
Jiggle deformer test . The "pikachu" jiggles when impacting the ground, all secondary animation
Sweep nurb animation test for "ribbons"
Ugly banding near the top. I wanted to keep the filesize lower with less dithering, but the other reason is the color pallette is "stretched" with yellows and reds. If the colors are primarily 1 tone, it's easier to represent with 256 colors - that's how you can optimize gifs by design

dollyzoom , with more depth / objects in the background demonstrates the effect better

Tracer test / light streaks effect

Dang, you've got some nice s/w there PDR. Very impressive showing indeed.
Got my retirement plans all set. Looks like I only have to work another 5 years after I die........ -
Hahahaha . This is for nobody in particular ...
-
That's nice. Is that "Ultimate Super 3D Maker Professional 1.0"?
P.S. There's banding in your gradient, hahaha. -
I know I know. Damn banding.... stupid gifs . You can't use more than a few shades without stretching the palette too thin. I should have used green letters or red troll
Blowing stuff up and shattering is so lame, but I'm out of ideas for troll gifs
So how's the recruitment drive coming along ? I think we need a new VP of Marketing...hahaha

Hahaha, nobody wants to join the SiC because it's too elite. Bunch of poussiere's
Did you catch my other joke?
Look up the song "You can eat my poussiere". A good old Zydeco song. Do they have Google Play Music up there? You prolly tap your toes for a while on that one.
AFA SiC, I will always be a proud member. To see over the heads of the unwashed masses is the only requirement for membership. But alas, so few are able to do it.
I know several members that qualify, but to formally invite them would be gauche. So it's a Catch-22.
Maybe we could issue badges and shitt? And uniforms. Hey, we can have clip on Photo SiC Membership ID cards. And wear those fake "Bubba" teeth.Last edited by budwzr; 24th Jul 2015 at 23:38.

Nope, must have missed it. (I was too busy crying over the banding that you pointed out ...hahaha )Originally Posted by budwzr
I found it on youtube. Not my cup of tea, but the name is rather suggestiveLook up the song "You can eat my poussiere". A good old Zydeco song.

Thx . I have no idea where "forum troll" came from . I wonder what the history behind it is ? -

Loneliness, feelings of no worth, low self esteem, sociopathic, etc. We just need to go through the posts and see who fits that profile.Originally Posted by poisondeathray

Well, whoever wants to get jumped in to SiC has to at least be able to do 3D animation.

Looks like newpball stepped on too many toes and got himself banned. We need a gif for "Another one bites the dust"

Newpballs got whacked? I noticed the other day that Sanlyn got whacked too. Jeez-o-peets, I better keep a low profile.Originally Posted by poisondeathray

Would the "current prez" look more realistic? You even have that little "shimmy" to release it.

How do you create a GIF to have the same resolution as the original images? I tried to do it on Photoshop but just got nowhere.
-
Are you using the word "resolution" in the strict sense ? ie. dimensions eg. 1920x1080 ? GIF supports almost any resolutionOriginally Posted by Master Tape
Or were you referring to some other characteristic ?
It's not possible to have the same "quality" because GIF only supports 256 colors. 8bit RGB video supports 16.7M colors. There is a format called APNG (animated PNG) that can do lossless RGB similar to GIF, but only certain browsers support it -
Yeah, resolution as in the dimensions.Originally Posted by poisondeathray
It's just for a picture i created in MS paint, so it isn't exactly high quality, but should there be no notable quality loss for this sort of material? -

Yes, you can do it in photoshop or almost any image editor
Whether or not you can "see" the quality loss depends on the number of colors used in the original and what manipulations you did in paint. If the original only used a few colors, you might not notice a difference. But 256 vs. 16,700,000 is a big difference . That' s why techniques such as dither are used to improve the subjective quality -
The image only has about 7 colours so i don't think it'll be an issue. I tried uploading it onto an online GIF maker, but it came out looking too compressed with loss of detail.Originally Posted by poisondeathray
I tried following tutorials on Youtube on how to do it on Photoshop, but i was just getting nowhere, with either error messages or it not working. -
You say "the image" which implies 1 - How many frames is it ? (Is this an animation ?) . Have you loaded the image(s) as layers into photoshop ?
What version of photoshop are you using ? It's changed in CC - you have to export to legacy formats to access the GIF options -
Well it is only two frames, but basically the same picture with a minor difference (ie, a finger flipping!) So the GIF would loop these frames to make the character do it repeatedly. Basically just a test GIF animation, then i can do longer ones in future.
-
It helps to start with the correct workspace. Set it to "motion" (or it might be called "animation" in older versions) . This will give you a timeline to work with. This is more important when you get into more complex GIF animations and variable timing (each frame can be delayed by different values)
When you have longer sequences, Photoshop can actually load videos (AVI and MOV) and automatically sequence them as layers . I personally find it easier to load them this way when making GIF's . File=> Import => Video Frames to Layers . To access GIF options, it's File => Export => Save for Web (legacy)
To load an image sequence (file=>open) , in the open dialog box, make sure you checkmark the image sequence box . This will automatically load sequentially numbered sequences, instead of a single file eg.
img000.png
img001.png
img002.png
img003.png
.
.
Otherwise it's the same steps: File => Export => Save for Web (legacy)
There are many options to optimize the gif, but set lossy to zero if you want the highest quality. For 7 colors, you don't need dithering, and reduce the palette size to something smaller like 16 to keep the filesize down -
Oh apologies, forgot to mention i use CS5Originally Posted by poisondeathray

Did you try this ?
http://www.briandalessandro.com/blog/create-an-animated-gif-in-photoshop-cs5/
In all versions of photoshop back to CS3 , you need to load the images as layers - maybe that's where you are stuck ?
Where are you stuck, or what is the specific problem/ error message ? -
After clicking on 'Load Files into Stack...' i keep getting this error message.
