Please check out this neat animation I just finished. Sorry about the load time (55 frames). It only plays once so you will need to refresh to see it again. Enjoy

hmm, i cant see it haha, but why didnt you make it continously? looks nice though, to bad i cant see it though >.<

I've changed it to loop continuously. I didn't originally because, frankly, I find continuously looping animations to be annoying. this is a greeting with a definite end to the animation. I figure if anyone wanted to see it again they could refresh and play it again.

It's subtle but I hope came out smooth enough that the work put into it is apparent.

It looks beautiful! I love it!

Thank you angele803. Aligning each snowflake for each frame along the bezier curves took no small amount of concentration.

This stuff is truly addicting

man.. i still cant see it!!!

do you mean you can't see it at all or you don't see the animation (just the background)?

Did you make this just for fun, or is it for a project? I have been thinking about making some things like this to give out for free on my website, but it seems like a lot of work to do for nothing!

Maybe it's just taking a long time to load for you (it is very big). I have it in AVI too but that's much too large to load

Angele, it was just for fun. I know of a couple of xmas contests and I also do an xmas card to send out to my friends each year and haven't decided if I want to use this for any of them yet. I just got an idea in my head to try doing the snow blowing in the wind thing like you see on cartoons.

The amazing thing was that it came out perfectly the first time I put it together. The process was actually a lot easier than you might think. It took me about 3 hours to do this from start to finish.

That's a good idea. I might think about making my own xmas card to email out to my family and friends.

Also, I am impressed that it came out so great the first time and that you did it in 3 hours! It looks so professional, it looks like you have been making these kinds of cards for a long time! You are pretty new to design aren't you? I thought I read in a post somewhere that you were fairly new. If that is true, you are no doubt a natural!

Thanks.

I got psp7 about 2.5 years ago but the only thing I did with it other than edit photos was my store logo. I started getting serious with it about a year ago and only started doing vector stuff in the past month or so.

If I had to do rely on pencil and paper I would never be able to create anything but computers help put the ideas floating around in my head on to paper.

haha, thats because you can always edit, there's any color there for you, you can use pen tool, creating points which doesnt involve any hand or wrist skills in drawing. but im an artist by hand, so drawing on the computer comes easier especially with all these tools.

Awesome, simple and detailed one!

i like that snow flake! here's an animation i did too; i don't mean to be a thread robber, but i'd really love to see everyone post these up !

Borzoid very nice animation, I like it a lot.
Happy Holidays

Thanks luvlyn, 3rdshift, and DLZ. I'm thinking about doing a tutorial with it.

3rd shift, I tried to load yours, but unfortunately I'm on dialup and it never came up.

I feel you pain, we lived on farm in the country were it was either 28.8 at best. Now living near town we finally have Cable access..

Best thing since PBJ when we were younger..

borzoid - you should definitely make a tutorial! I would love to see how you did this! Please please please!
