bubblegummy
12-21-2003, 02:46 PM
Same here. So I'm not making a graphic! But I need to know how to pronounce the person's name before I can do it. And obviously I can't ask that person. D'oh :P

WOW Marianne, thank you so much! That was so entertaining :D:D *hugs*

My Secret Santa was Alcy :D I made her a sound recording (http://caroline.deadlyasparagus.com/alcy.wav) but I felt so guilty in case I pronouned her name wrong, that I made her a little graphic too (http://caroline.deadlyasparagus.com/alcy2.jpg)

And for the voice recording, hopefully that'll put any former doubt to rest after the old issue of whether I sounded like Emma Watson or not. :p

I didn't want to keep my person waiting, so I got right to work when I saw all the nice gifts other people got. I felt bad because I wasn't going to do it until tomorrow.

Ahh... that's so cool! Haha, that's the first time I've heard "Alcy" spoken before - don't worry, you got it right though. Thanks so much :D

I can't remember what Emma Watson sounds like, lol. I've only seen the first HP movie.


Well, my ss was Marianne. Is that a coincidence? ;)

It's too big to be an avatar, but oh well ^_^
http://www.lusciousness.org/images/xmas.gif

I'm not very good at animating, but when I finished, I thought, 'gee, what if the letters blinked?'

Marianne
12-22-2003, 07:37 AM
awwww, that's so nice :D
Is it really too big to be used as an avatar?
It's so cute!
I love everyone's presents, it was fun looking at them all. This really was a great idea, I'm getting in the X-mas mood just looking at everything.
Not sure if that's a good idea, for I wanted to spend most of today studying, and when I feel christmassy I will want to decorate the house or something...;)

Marianne
12-22-2003, 07:43 AM
sorry for the double post, but it took me more than 5 mins to reduce it in size enough to use it as an avatar. It's not animated now, but I still think it's cute enough to be my avatar for a while :D

We're getting tiling done on the kitchen floor, which is where the computer with the SS gift is, and I'm not allowed to walk on that particular area yet...so I'll put my gift up as soon as I can access my computer(I'm using my sister's computer)

I can't use the avs because they're too many bytes :( And I was playing around with it but I messed it up. Can anyone make it 3000 bytes or less by any chance? (I love them other than that! :D)

They're in .png format. Try saving them in .jpg. If that doesn't work, try .gif, but that will mess up the quality. I was having the same problem when I made gifts for my person.

PSP? can I download that off the internet? I porobably will not be able to buy it... if I do have to buy it how much does it normally cost?

Valkyrie
12-27-2003, 01:15 AM
You can download the trial version for PSP 8 and Animation Shop.
I think the actually program costs about $90 or something.
But try the trial version first, to see if you like it.

sorry, I wasn't here, I didn't see this post. Do you still want me to look into it?
If you have time on your hands, yes. I would really appreciate it. Thankyou in advance.

I got the anniversary edition of PSP 7 (which is just as good) for a VERY nice price on amazon.com. It was only about $70 US to buy it (and it got free shipping, heh) plus there was a $30 rebate. I would look into that, I think it was inexpensive because it was the anniversary edition, but I'm not sure.

No, you use Animation shop to make the blinkies animated, but animation shop comes with PSP. If you get PSP, you get animation shop at no added cost.
