Gigi's in retirement for the time being
It's a good thing I don't live close to her, because Candice's smile is so good she could probably command me like a robot with it.
I don't really put many of my own sigs on this thread, but I'm having problems deciding on my next signature. I created a normal signature and one with animation for my signature of Shadow from Final Fantasy 6. This is my first attempt at an animated signature, although I doubt I will create a lot of them as it's not my thing.
In the animated one I just used multiple layers that were moved around and then saved as a separate layer. I did that a couple of times where I slightly moved the layers around and eventually made into a short motion sequence. It wasn't easy and I couldn't find a way to make the layers move only a certain amount of pixels so I just tried my best to move them by hand. It was also hard because the smoke effects were opaque and cluttered making seeing where each one was not to easy. That's why I think it's a little choppy. I keep the image quality down on it somewhat otherwise it would have ended up as a huge file. Overall not bad for my first time, and for that reason I might put it up next.
On the other hand the still image richness blows the animated one away. It's vibrancy is way better than the animated sig. Looking at them side by side makes it even more obvious. I wish I could get that quality on the animated sig but either it wasn't possible without blowing the sig up to megabytes in size or I'm just not that good. I also like the placement and size of Shadow in the non-animated signature.
I just wanted to know what others though. After looking them over I think I will go with the non-animated signature, but I don't know.
Does anybody knows of any good programs to create animation for signatures? I don't know if piecing together an animated one in a photo editor was ideal.

I have absolutely no idea what you just said. Quite honestly I don't know how anyone finds the time to do so much anymore. :hatsoff:
Hope this helps. It came free when I bought from Kaspersky. I think You Might need to pay, though, or you could use mine. I mean, it is just sitting there because I have no idea where to start, and no time to find out.

The thing with smoke is that you shouldn't use the same layer.
you should create 3-4 different layers of smoke then the effect will look more realistic, then they should fade in to each other

That's what I did. I think I got four separate layers of smoke in it with alternating layers moving in the opposite direction from the layer above it. It's just that between not moving each of them very smoothly, the fact I didn't want to add more like in the non-animated sig because keeping track of each separate layer I had to move and then save at that spot was already getting cumbersome, and the lower quality image it didn't turn out as well as it could have.
Maybe it's something I will go back to one of these days to see if I can do it better.
