 My new avatar started out with only a few frames but playing with gif files is so addicting by the time I had it to this point I'm over 100 frames.  Maybe I'll give cartooning a shot using Gimp.

I was going to comment on your avatar earlier when I first saw it. Looking good, Dad.

So, this is all done in the Gimp?

    Everything but tux walking.  Tux waving was done in gimp along with background and snow.

Awesome!!!!   Very good avatar, Dadster!!!    Have a cookie..

I need to try another animation one of these days..... my first wasn't particularly good, but I figured out how to do them, which was what I wanted to do...... one of these days I'll start in again. You're right.... it is very addictive!

Maybe just a basic tut of how the gif's work and how you put together a simple one.... then the 'student' could add to their project as they wanted to.... the basics are the same, whether it's 30 layers or 200, right?

Yes, just a start or 2 or 3.  I have done some movement things in Gimp...but just moving from picture to picture.  Then I made or tried to make this smiley in Paintshop.  Grin

So not really asking for much of a tutorial...just something (easy) to try.  Cheesy
