I tried making what we all see....but it didn't come out all that great. I captured it with my digi camera and tried to convert it to gif but I had to take out too many frames. Someone else wanna give it a try? I have it as my avatar on other boards.

aaaaaaaaah these are all slowing down my computer, but the goodness of "gtinmation" seems so awesome
 
Very nice work drifterxl
I am using it for my wallpaper
it looks really cool 👍
 
yea i originally wanted it to be wallpaper sized except the adobe document was around 193mb with all the layers
image ready has a limit of 40mb file size, so i had to resize
im working on a smaller version that hopefully will be small enough for imageshack
 
very nice animation guys ... why don't you guys make some animation with stationary camera (or try to make it look stationary), I think it will look better

drifterxl > I like the bullet time thing ... too bad one of the angle zoomed in too much
should have set up all the cameras first with the same distance away from the car
then just take photos for each cameras at the end ... BTW ... doing a 360 would be cool

ZAGGIN > very fast action ... I like that

Can you make avatar size for GTP?

will try my best, this was my first attempt, and im not entirely happy with it. i plan to improve it asap. when i do, i will gladly let you call it your own (if you want to).

franz > thanks for you comments, its good to get positive feedback from a pro! 👍
ps. how do i get my gif to look as good as everyone elses? i think it looks too grainy, and not up to the standard of the other entries.

if anyone is interested in getting the animation smooth like mine, i will let you into a secret - DRIVE SLOW! my first animation was too jerky, because the gap between frames was too big, so i slowed it down a little, i was only in 2nd gear (~90mph) going around that corner.

i have a cool idea for my next one...
 
franz: thanks for the critique. with the one frame where i was eating the nose of the wrx, i couldnt zoom out any further, because it simply wouldnt allow me
maybe i will consider doing a 360 in the future, but i try to keep the file size down, so the number of frames also has to be lower
file size is directly proportional to frame number

ZAGGIN: i tried leaving a car in 2nd gear and driving around like that. it does make life so much easier, but i found that the cameras change with regard to the speed you take into the corners
 
Ok I have a small 24KB movie now, BMW M5@Nurenburgring, but it's .mov file, where should I upload these kind of movies? I mean, I CAN try to upload it at yousendit.com, but well, obviously you dont do that...

If I cant upload the way you do because it's a .mov file....what file SHOULD it be?
 
looks good dirfterxl ... very good looking drift imo

Zaggin > I have no idea how you get it so grainy
try different setting when you save and see which setting works best for ya
btw ... I still haven't done any animation yet, so I am not a pro :sly:
 
[did someone pm me about these animations. i got an alert, but something went wrong and now cant view the message. if it was you could you please send another. if no one did, then please disregard this post and i will book an appointment with my therapist
;)]
 
1. I like the Drifting SVT it's my favorite to drift right with the S2000.

2. Dude awesome anies I'm just waiting until I reach 100 posts to make one for my avatar.

3. How man pictures on average did u have to take
 
all depends on how smooth/long you want the animation to go for
the silvia one above took 30 pictures
my m3 one was around 45 pictures
and the gtr one here is a resized version:

was around 65 frames
 
I'm trying to make a custom avatar. This is what came out when I tested the program.
I'll have to make the filesize smaller I noticed :)

This is the same picture resized to 20 kb. I think it's to small.

I think I'm going to make a animated gif that has a few frames, nothing special.
I'll make an bigger animation later today, but I'm going to make a movie off it, not a gif
 
sorry; I have imageready on an other computer, and it's hard when you have to explain something when you can't see it
