Thanks psmerf.

How you making out up there?


Not bad.
Thanks for asking

I am lucky enough to be at the edge of it............Literally a few miles away they have 4 feet of snow and expect another 2 to 3 feet in the next 24 hours.
 
I made a pretty cool Art Mann tribute .gif. It combines his animated avatar with his handle, with the green button on, and with his final stats and awards at the bottom.

There's a copy posted in his RIP thread, and one in the 'fat chicks' threads, currently on page 1: https://www.hubgfe.com/community/sh...erweight-and-she-doesn-t-take-care-of-herself, with a detailed explanation of how I did it, using ingenuity and 90's technology.

That is incredible how it hits specific regions with such intensity. Is it the same area that gets hits with the lake effect every winter?

Yes, we're all very proud of you.
Next time,
Save the static image, save the gif.
Open the static image, add alpha channel.
Use rectangle select to remove a window.
Open gif as layers, position in window
done.

Gots to get me a decoder ring.

...and
buy some social skills.
Stop using Art as your medium to "look at me".
The first picture was, while awkwardly timed, could be viewed as a nice tribute to a recently departed dear friend. But even in that post it was about you, how you needed "hours", to make the gif.
Then you posted the gif, and again it became about you.
Then you posted it again.
...and a link ito it yet again in here, once again saying how skillful you were, and letting everyone know you are willing to share your magic.

When it should be about Art. No one cares how you did it.

I tried to save the static images, but the option wasn't available in ULead Gif Animator. I don't know how to do any of that other stuff. I don't plan to make another one like that. I generally make my .gifs from my own .pngs.

I once tried to make a .gif that was an hour, six minutes, and some-odd seconds long. It worked like a slot machine. Vertically, the letters b i t o came down one letter at a time, at two frames per second, in five possible colours. If all of the colours were different, b i t o would flash once, in the colour that didn't appear. If any one colour was used two or three times, there was a brief pause, and then a new b i t o sequence would start. If all four letters were the same colour, there was a jackpot, of flashing b i t o, lasting about 4 seconds. I used every possible letter/ colour permutation, and someone would have to watch the .gif for over an hour, to see the five jackpots, totaling 20 seconds.

I was hoping that college students would use it for a Pavlovian beer drinking game. I found out that my .gif animator can't handle 3,400 + frames, so I had to scrap it. It was about 8,000 frames, when I originally had six colours, but it didn't serve its purpose with less than five, nor without all of the permutations. It was just wasted life, but you literally could not stop watching.

This is what it was going to be like, for over an hour:



It has some flaws I can't sort out, like the 'white frames' I don't know where those come from. It's supposed to be 'seamless', like in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

I think I screwed up this animation because I deleted the frames after importing them, and this is probably only the last batch. This one probably repeats after 16 seconds; it was supposed to be about three minutes, with the pink jackpot.
 
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have some breakfast and get down to Buffalo with a shovel.

You can not ALT <edit> <delete> this much snow

I made that .gif for Sarah, not as a tribute to Art Mann, (ie; for him). I hardly knew him

...I had to shut my IM chat bar off for now cause every time I look at it I'm reminded that I'll never see his little green dot light up again...

I didn't know how to do it, but I figured out a way, inefficient though it might have been. I thought she would be interested in how I did it.

I have no idea why you thought this had anything to do with you.
