How Can I Animate My Avatar?

[Beachcomber]

Hi

Just out of curiosity is it a simple thing to animate an avatar?

I’m not an expert but know my way around basic computer stuff. I see several posters have created their own animated avatars so maybe it ain’t that difficult.

Any help and advice or even step by step instructions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Creating an avatar from scratch can be time consuming but here are a few links.

Essentially it's a series of still images saved as 1 animated GIF file.

Google is often your best friend - this one steps you though using Adobe ImageReady - principles are consistent..

Here is a sample gif to play with. It meets the TV requirements for size.

Will follow the links and try my hand at creativity. Watch this space but please don’t hold your breath.

Spog – I’m sure with creative stimulation of the young ladies I could get very animated – will play with your imageready, but don’t tell Ms Beach.
