Ryong Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Ehm, sorry if this isn't the most proper forum to post this but I figured that most people who browse this section will know the answer to my question. My recent project is to make hand drawn Sonic sprite (Well, technically not Sonic. The sheet has project name called "Image of the Hero") totally from scratch and I already got some sheets done. Now I'd like to get a free and simple .gif animator so I could maybe show my work (And some other random concept art for a Sonic fangame I'd love to make but lack the skill to make it happen) So if you know any good ones please reply. Heck, even though I suck at fangame programming. If improve myself as a spriter, maybe some people who can do better engines than I do might be interested in my work. ._.

LarkSS Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I don't know of any free .gif animators... Maybe you could try WinGraphic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsmarty Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 From personal experience, I'd say the free ones suck, but if you're willing to buy/warez (it's not that expensive, $16 or so, £10) GraphicsGale I'd recommend it. People also seem to like unFREEz, and Microsoft Gif Animator. But I don't. (BTW those two are free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryong Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I don't really want to pay for this kind of program since it's just an alternate way to show my simple sprites. (I doubt people wanna download tgf files just to see looping pixels. :F) I'll try those programs and see if I can do somewhat same what I can with TGF.

UltimateSonic Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Try UnFREEz, its free. All you have to do is drop all the frames in it and it will animate it in a *.gif! Visit its site here: http://www.whitsoftdev.com/unfreez/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDoo Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Animation Shop by Jasc is a good one. Well, i have used it, and it imports Paint Shop Pro files for the frames which makes for easy editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streak Thunderstorm Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 If you're willing to warez anything, get Photoshop. It comes bundled with Adobe imageready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsmarty Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Try UnFREEz, its free. All you have to do is drop all the frames in it and it will animate it in a *.gif!Visit its site here: http://www.whitsoftdev.com/unfreez/ I really hate unFREEz just because you have to save all the files as individual gifs beforehand. Just unnecessary hassle. Animation Shop by Jasc is a good one. Well, i have used it, and it imports Paint Shop Pro files for the frames which makes for easy editing. Yeh Animation Shop rocked. I can't find where to download it anymore though Jasc merged with Corel, and they don't seem to do Animation Shop anymore But it wasn't free ;o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I tried animation shop and I had trouble finding out how to move the image around the frame. I'm switching to Photoshop's Image Ready now and yes, it's unfree. *cougheasytotorrentcough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Animation Shop came with Paint Shop Pro 7 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Yes, but Paint Shop Pro 7 costs money am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Yeah. I'm just answering whoever's question it was that asked about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsmarty Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Yeah. I'm just answering whoever's question it was that asked about it. If you mean me, then I know Just that since Jasc and Corel merged or whatever, getting Animation Shop isn't really easy, since Animation Shop isn't provided with PSPX. And I can't find a PSP7 download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I found a PSP8 download, but it didn't come with animation shop. My PSP6 version did though. The only reason I still have it is since I use PSP6 and 8 since 6 loads quicker and 8 has more functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 unFREEZ is definitely my pick. It's a great little program (it's only something like 68kb). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
