I love upvotes!

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 18 points19 points ago

That would make an awesome banner!

[–]Pinkie_Pi 15 points16 points ago

Someone should make that into Karma jumping

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 10 points11 points ago

I completely agree. Sadly, my gif making skills only go so far.

And I still don't know flash...

[–]Pinkie_Pi 8 points9 points ago

I have no gif making skills. I have vectoring skills, but unless I want to vector animate this (I don't even know how long that would take, days at least I would think), I can't do it.

[–]Myrandall 17 points18 points ago

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 7 points8 points ago

Congrats!

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 4 points5 points ago

Vectoring is one of my specialties as well (well I've done two and they came out really well, so I know I have what it takes... but it takes a really long time).

If you're thinking of animating it strait from vectoring, it'd be so freaking impossible, holy shit. Vectoring is essential to making flash - you're basically making every piece and body part of the pony, constructing the body and moving each part, frame by frame.

[–]lankira 1 point2 points ago

making every piece and body part of the pony, constructing the body and moving each part, frame by frame.

This is only partly true. You can do a frame, then jump, say, one second ahead, and do another frame. These are called keyframes. And then, between two, you have it "tween", that is, have it figure out how it would move between the two frames (Here's some wikipedia info on it). If I had flash, I'd totally be animating the crap out of things.

It's much easier to animate things in Flash than it is to do true 3D or traditional animation. A few weeks and a good book or tutorial site is all someone with some digital art background really needs to be able to learn it.

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 0 points1 point ago

Oh, I actually remember tweening. But it's been forever since I last saw that tutorial, so I didn't mention it then.

[–]lankira 1 point2 points ago

It's okay. You're still awesome. :D

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 0 points1 point ago

Aww, thanks.

[–]masterjedi89 4 points5 points ago

repost to main page and request that it should be done. there are plenty of other bronies with amazing animating talents

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 5 points6 points ago

Or go to r/MLPTalentExchange!

I'm pretty sure they're open to requests.

[–]masterjedi89 4 points5 points ago

we need moar subreddits!!!

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 5 points6 points ago

[–]masterjedi89 7 points8 points ago

I even knew that one existed. Can we make another one of these?

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 9 points10 points ago

[–]Niciiman 1 point2 points ago

[–]alltwo147 3 points4 points ago

Someone call ULJared!

[–]AcerRubrum 15 points16 points ago

[–]Lankygit 13 points14 points ago

Funnily enough, that is my exact response to this post.

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 6 points7 points ago*

Orly now? Ha ha, just kidding.

Thanks for the support man.

[–]High_On_Cortexiphan 11 points12 points ago

Buy some upvotes!

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 6 points7 points ago

Actually, the original is something like 38 frames.

Mine's only 16. Wait, why should I be proud of that?

[–]Wingboner 7 points8 points ago

Maybe come back and talk to us when you find the other 22 frames, hmm?

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 3 points4 points ago

They just... ran away! Yeah, that's it!

They jumped off the screen and ran away!

[–]Wingboner 3 points4 points ago

I won't have you creating imperceptible differences to quarter file sizes and make the internet a better place. Not on my watch.

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 3 points4 points ago

B-... but it's just a gif!

Y-you can't hurt me...! Not on the internet!!

[–]Wingboner 3 points4 points ago

Maybe not, but this book details a dozen different kinds of hugs.

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 2 points3 points ago

Hugs like...

ZOMBIE HUGS?!

[–]DontStopNowBaby 2 points3 points ago

pony hug of death. still never been hugged

[–]KTGuy 4 points5 points ago

Achieves the effect with half the file size? It's basically magic.

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 1 point2 points ago

Oh yeah. Totally meant that.

[–]supermatt314 2 points3 points ago

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 1 point2 points ago

This the best fucking gif ever.

Did you make it?

[–]supermatt314 1 point2 points ago

That I did.

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 1 point2 points ago

Post it.

Now.

I command you.

[–]supermatt314 1 point2 points ago

Well... I made it a while ago and already posted it.

It's my number 2 most upvoted submission ever, second only to another silly gif I made.

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 1 point2 points ago

I love you so much.

Turns out I already upvoted the "Somebody say ponies?"

[–]supermatt314 1 point2 points ago

Well, uh, thanks, that's very forward of you.

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 1 point2 points ago

You're just really good man!

I'm still in the beginning stages... You saw my kontan gifs, yes?

[–]supermatt314 1 point2 points ago

I'm not that good. The quality of the gif's are pretty shit, all pixelated and artifact-y. Now this guy, he is a master.

kontan gifs...

Are those the ones where he's dancing around and then it explodes? I love those!

[–]Moral_Gutpunch 7 points8 points ago

Cute.

But don't upvote me, I post crap and I haven't drawn any ponies yet.

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 0 points1 point ago

I upvoted you.

Now draw, Human mortal karyotic being.

[–]Moral_Gutpunch 1 point2 points ago

I can try.

[–]iiRockpuppy[S] 0 points1 point ago

[–]DrZicter 5 points6 points ago

I'm not giving him upvotes; I'M ASSAULTING HIM WITH UPVOTES!

[–]Wr3nch 4 points5 points ago

They're in mah hair! get 'em out! get 'em out! get 'em out!

[–]Rappguy 2 points3 points ago

[–]Bigbobo558 0 points1 point ago

[–]nicque 1 point2 points ago

Wish I could give multiple.
