I wish we could upload bigger gifs, but you get the general idea. So, Merry Christmas to all!

UPDATE: Here is a bigger version of the blinking tree. Hope it looks OK. Thanks, Lea, for that marvelous demonstration!

UPDATE 2: I also have a transparent background gif of this. Is anyone interested?



Tree made in Apophysis 7X.Final and postwork (stars, lightstrings, signature) done in Photoshop CS and animation done in Image Ready.

wolfepaw In reply to spoofdecator [2010-05-06 19:23:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much, Tera!! Animation is not too difficult, if you understand the concept of layers. You can create the layers in Photoshop and then the animation is accomplished in Image Ready. It's easy, if you just want basic animation by changing the layers that are visible in each frame. Then you adjust the timing, and Bingo! you have an animation.

oh ok...you are speaking of "looping"? after it is made then how do you load it here..? I have only loaded jpeg.

wolfepaw In reply to spoofdecator [2010-05-07 17:29:10 +0000 UTC]

You can upload it the regular way, but if it's too big (bigger than 150x150 px), you will need to upload a jpg as a Preview Image. Did you optimize you animation for GIF and then save it as a gif file? If you don't optimize it as a gif, it may not run correctly. In order for the animation to run, it has to be a gif file.

Let me know if this doesn't make sense and I'll try to make it clearer.

Oh, I think this is perfect. Not to many lights or anything. Such gorgeous colors too. Very Christmassy, (not a word I know but effective). Did you make this from different flames and put them all together?

wolfepaw In reply to Leanndra51 [2009-12-10 19:29:59 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, Lea!! I'm so glad you like it. I was hoping this would be an appropriate image to use to wish all my very good dA friends a wonderful holiday season.

No, the tree is a single flame. I created several off these params. I even made some green ones! If you'd like like the params, I'd be happy to share them with you.

Take care, sweetie, and keep warm.

I think they're in a flame pack at home. I'll send it to you in the next couple of days. Please send me an email over the weekend to remind me.
