Anyone know how to make a custom avatar? Like Sporto's action ava. I just want to make my own with animation or something.

I'm not too sure on how to do it. I think you have make it animated yourself, unless you download one that's pre-made. But, I am an idiot and can be mistaken from time to time.

Snake If you have photoshop you should have ImageReady. It is a half decent program for making .gifs. Takes some time to get used to thou.

Yeah I downloaded that and cant get it to do crap. How do they make those smooth animated ones like Steve-o's or Sporto's?

Photoshop seems to have a way to animate, ......but I can't figure out how to save it as an animated gif yet. :rolleyes:

Snake-

I guess it depends on if its a still picture that is animating or a film... For stills.. animator fills in the blanks in between the 3-4 pics.. motion.. not sure

Yay!! , I finally figured it out and as you can tell by my ava that I animated it. sorta (decent for my first try tho!)

Here's my second attempt at animation. Photoshop works pretty good after you get the hang of it.

That's some nice animation. One question not concerning avitars. How do you change the little white writing under your avitar?

Thats really cool Snake. I can only imagine how much time that took.

Animation question to anyone: I downloaded about 10 animated icons. I can't get them to work when I go to change icon. For example, when I right click on kazaa lite, then go to properties, then change icon, the a folder with all my icons that I've downloaded, the animated ones are listed but there is no image above the file name and extension info.

Thanks, Smoke. I used Photoshop to do those, its expensive stuff if you get it the legal way ;) . If you're interested, someone can probably "hook u up" or you can download it with Bearshare or Kazaa or IMESH.
