# luck I guess
and no, I'm not a fan of Photoshop, never used Image ready either. I stick with an old copy of Paint Shop Pro X and Animation Shop. (about £15 off Amazon instead of £500 for Adobe Wankbucket)

# pfft, I've always used wankbucket because its free from work.
I think I will look into 'buying' animation shop then

# it's an old package that came free with Paint Shop Pro 5-9 I think
you have to buy it seperately now, but it can't cost more than a few quid, it's ridiculously basic

Paint Shop Pro to bust up the initial image, seperating it in to usable layers of head and jaw.
Then go in to 3DS MAX (a snip at £3000, cheaper free 3d packages like blender are available and just as capable of doing this)
Create a couple of planes, apply the images to both, then start chopping up the planes so that there are enough subdivisions to handle the deformation.
The next step is down to personal preference, you can either skin the geometry to a few bones or dummy objects and animate them or simply apply an FFD cage that you can animate the control points on. Either way animate the geometry to create the motion you want.
Put that in a pre-heated oven at Regulo 4 and then render it. Take that render, load it up in Animation Shop, strip out unnecessary frames, alter the frame rate, add your logo, crush it down to a decent number of colours and file size and save it out as a gif.

that answer your question?


apologies if you thought I didn't put any work in to these ;)

# But I've only ever used animation shop!
And all my crappy animations are fecking huge!
And when I optimise they look shite!
And I apologise for starting sentences with 'and'

# lot of mine look shite
so I make them 140 pixels wide and then double them up in html (type width="280" in the bit) That way you get 256 colours still

Weep because couldn't work 3DSMAX even after spending £500 quid on books. I did do a really good asteroid floating through space with added stock starfield effect.

Your animations are great.
