How to create a userbar / animation

btw can i have your msn/ym ?

You wold do the tutorial... but the backround_00001.xcf would have a layer with nothing on it...
uhm...you would have 2 highlights, but instead of highlights it would be the revised thingy and the gfx thingy.
then add point, move the gfx, add point, move, add point, move, add point, move... or somthing like that...
then, i dont know what to do.. since its 2 elements.... i guess you could try to select the revised thong on the drop down menu in gap and just do what you normaly would, but... im not sure if that would make them synced... and what it would take to delay the gfx while the revised design thing jumps up and down...

and no you can not have my msn, since my msn contains my real name... also i do not use msn.. cause... well... it doesnt work on my pc

but i dont really know right now how to do this... and i think i gotta go shopping later -.-
yeay............................................................................................................................

I guess this animation shouldnt be that hard? Cuz the 2 objects arent moving at the same time.. should be possible?

[laklaker]

The problem for me is how to make one stop while the other is going...
for the tut i guess it auto calculates how far to move the element per layer... but i guess to make 2 elements move you would have to:

1. set the "to frame" thing to half
2. then do the add point thing to one element

3. set the "from frame thing to half + 1 (so if in step 1. you have the to frame value to 40, you want this to 41)
4. select the other element from drop down
5. do the add point thingy...

will maybe test l8t0r... my gimp is acting all funny
I like that smily

1. set the "to frame" thing to half (so if a total of 80 frames, set to 40)
2. then do the add point thing to one element

3. set the "from frame thing to half + 1 (so if in step 1. you have the to frame value to 40, you want this to 41)
4. select the other element from drop down
5. do the add point thingy...

The to-from frame would work!
idk how to do it in 1 go... but if you do 1-2 first and then ok, and then do it again with 3-5 and click ok...
then when "compiling" selects aaaaall the frames again, it should work!

i feel confuse

[Maffe811]

okay... do what you normaly do... okay?
but set the GAP option "To frame" to half of the number of frames you have!
So if you have 100 frames, set the "To frame" to 50.
Then add point, and move the pice around, add point... etc... etc... you know the drill!

Then you go to the other thing on the drop down menu
Then set the "To frame" to max, and the "From frame" to half + 1
So if you have 100 frames, set the "From frame" to 51.
Then do the add point and stuff again aaaaand... i think thats it...

(Il make a image to show some of it)

[laklaker]

ok thanks

[Maffe811]

Thats the settings and then do the add point thing

If you need to click ok between the steps, idk.


Again, do the add point thing! As the original tut shows you!


(Tomt) = (Empty)
Cause i didnt use any elements!
