Avatars

[Tywais]

Since there are some really great animated avatars on TV I'm curious as to what software you use to make them. In my case I used "Particle Illusion", same sofware used in a lot of movie and TV special effects.

I just found a program called "Avatar Lab" I downloaded, so if my Avatar starts taking on a life of it's own it's just me experimenting.

Paintshop Pro has a very easy to use animation shop bundled into it. You can grab a 30day trial at download.com or jasc.com

Or an unlimited 100 baht trial from you-know-where.....

Seriously, though - tywais - could you provide a link to the "Avatar Lab" download site?

I'm not sure if this will be a problem for a mod but guess he will remove it if it is.

Hmmm - seems like I have to download software just to download the program - sceptical........

Maybe I am just having one of those days, but it says "Download client: In order to download the content of this torrent file, you need a BitTorrent client like BitLord (?)" - No idea what a bittorrent client is, and therefore a bit weary of going ahead with it.

also "Alternative download: The file Avatar Lab 1 0 up b vertigo173 might also be available on usenet. Click here to download the UseNeXT client." Again, have no idea what UseNeXt client does.

Call me a chicken, but I tend to thread very carefully around new software.....

Ahh, you are referring to the 2nd link (the one I wasn't sure the mod would allow). This is a bittorrent link to allow downloading a pira...... copy. Just disregard if you don't use bittorrent.

Disregard the "Avatar Lab" I mentioned. Installed it and it is a bit fun to play with but requires special plugins to view the results in a web page as such not useful for avatars on TV.

Trying to workout how to add text in that package...? OK with the other parts just text? Maybe a silly question, looked at some tutorials to no avail.

Any Ideas tywais...

Actually I only installed and started playing with it about an hour ago so need a little more time to play.

Hows my new avatar? Is it good? Any comments on it?

Doing ok. Got robbed during my last foray in LOS and lost my media server in the process but I'm gonna start building a new one soon. On the good side my connection has gone from 2.5mbs to 7.0mbs so there's good with the bad
