okay to make a moving signature in the model veiwer is simple if you know how

1. load up model veiwer.....this is a no brainer
2.get a background then go into photoshop and add desired text somewhere where it wont get blocked out by your chosen model
3.in the model veiwer go to the veiw tab at the top and select load background
4.find you background picture and load it
5.choose the character or creature you want to be on your signature
6.resize the screen for the model to signature size and position the model in a creatuve way on the screen and adjust the poses and animations till you find one you like
7.once everything is in place go to the file tab at the top and select "Animated GIF"
8. choose a name for the file and where you will save it then click OK
9.a screen will pop up with framerate information just click OK on this as it automatically sets it to optimum frame time
10.find the file on your system once its done and upload it to your usual image host and you can now use your new moving signature on the forums

This is a great guide, I hope to be doing one soon, I was always curious as I've seen such things before but never thought on how to do it. Heh. Thanks again.

Interesting, interesting. I don't have the things to do it, but nonetheless it's good to know.

Awesome, just made myself one.

Thanks for the tips. I went ahead and made one myself.. only thing that sucks is that it messes up the quality of the orginal Background lol


Original BG before being all.. yweaked --->

Yes, I also noticed the unfortunate quality loss. It happened on mine too. Since you're manually resizing the Model Viewer window you can't get it *exactly* the same size, so it's up to your best guesstimate. It's a shame you can't have a preset size window or something, but oh well. They still turn out pretty cool, I love yours Serotonin.

Took me two days to completely figure it out, but it's worth it.

Great find here! Now I'm addicted to model viewer and the animated whatevers...

How many sigs are we allowed to have again?

We might have to double-check with Mania concerning these animated signatures.

I really love the look of them, but it's been brought up that some people with slower connections have a lot of problems with the size of them to load, plus the cost for the forum bandwidth.

I retired mine for now, so just keep that in mind when making them.

i blame the economy for everything......and if thats not a good enough excuse i blame peter griffon

I might try making just a tiny animated picture of my Devilsaur to accompany my non-moving signature. A small one should pose no size problems. =)

*nod* Unfortunately, I may have to impose some limits on the total file size of signatures. I'm poking around to see what our options are for that.

In the meantime, go ahead and play -- I'm not going to ban you or anything.

yea im gonna keep on using mine but for others please remember what has just been said about that

bandwidth=more $ blown and greator complications even crashing forums with too much

so if you make one i reccomend not using it here.......go to some other hunter forums and exceed theirs (then they have to come here)
