Animation Shop 3

[pattont]

I can't remember who was telling me that "cowboy from hell" was very good at this program.. I just downloaded it at like 3am last night so i haven't had time 2 look at it.. Of course i don't have a manual cause i didn't buy it, so is there anyone out that might be able 2 send me some crap 2 look at like tips, tutorials, or even like samples.. It might be a really easy program, i don't know anything about paint shop 8 or whatever ur supposed 2 use with it, im a photoshop 7 guy.. Any tips would be greatly appreciated..

Well.....You can use photoshop to build your static pics. Just save them are jpegs or gif images. The program comes with a "help" feature but I did most of my stuff by trial and error. If you're looking at making an avatar I would suggest using a image size that is equal to 200. ex: 100x100, 150x50, 125x75. Set the frame rate at around 15 but not higher then 20. Higher frame rates=larger files and we have a 500k cap for uploads. Try to keep your transitions and effects to around 2 seconds. Any lower plays realy fast and any higher makes the file size bigger. Those are some basic tips to get you started. Just play around with it till you get comfortable with it. As far as examples you can see my avatar, Trackers, CS Widow, -FA- Hoody (and half of FA), on and on. If you right click and save any animated avatar and open it with Animation Shop it will break it down frame by frame so you can see who it works....GOOD LUCK!!
