This is the dedicated thread for posting your Animated GIFs from Source Filmmaker.
As Source Filmmaker GIFs are very seldom seen I do not expect this thread to get a lot of posts, or be the most popular, but I hope we can get some people interested in making GIFs!
General Ground Rules:
1. Link your GIF if the GIF is more then 15MB.
2. Don't post more then 2 created gifs per post. This will limit the load of each page.
3. [noparse][url][/url][/noparse] NSFW, If you're into that.
Note: Lets create icon gifs for people to use in forums, or even create gif macros!
If you do not know how to create GIFs, and want to, then programs you need include [B]Jasc Animation Shop Pro[/B]. Its an awesome animation program and it does alot. The program itself does not look like its being commercially available by Jasc anymore so you will need to find other methods of getting it.

Im in the process of making the scout in a bedroom in front of a webcam, doing numerous things so people can use the scout as a fake webcam source. Like him waving, smiling, sleeping, typing, looking around, exc, exc.
couldn't you use Virtualdub to make gifs?
[QUOTE=Doc ock rokc;38534812]couldn't you use Virtualdub to make gifs?[/QUOTE]
Well I am not about to use Virtualdub when I have my awesome Animation Shop Pro, but if its confirmed to make avi or other video formats into GIFs reply back and ill add it to the OP.
Photoshop (at least CS5 and later afaik) is also pretty good for making gifs. It's a bit of a process and I'd rather let a [URL="http://www.wikihow.com/Make-an-Animated-GIF-from-a-Video-in-Photoshop-CS5"]tutorial[/URL] do the talking but that's what I use because I can't be bothered to download another program and it also offers very granular levels of customization.
Can Photoshop open AVIs?

I could technically make the room for you . Hell ive made one for a friend of mine before too
[QUOTE=Uglehs;38541170]Can Photoshop open AVIs?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, as far as I know it can open any video file save for the super obscure ones.

Do you need any custom mocap for that? I just got a Kinect for mocap and I've been trying to come up with ideas.

Before SFM I was a map maker, so I can handle it. thanks though.

I think I got it. But you can do stuff like standing around for mocap ideas. You always need some unique and not the same-old standing. Look at the OP's scout for an example. Not the banner, but the one on the bottom of the OP.
This is an icon I made for like forums or such.

Were did you get that cigar model?
[QUOTE=Whitefox08;38576954]Were did you get that cigar model?[/QUOTE]
Its the one thats in-game, soldiers stogie
These GIFs look interesting.
Okay !
First attempt on animation... the camera's move is awful, but the loop on gif is not too bad I hope.
First time I try to make a gif, it was fun to learn the technique :)

Damn, the loop on the gif is not good...

Have the last frame fade into the first frame. With Jasc you would cut the first frame, put it last, and then have the second last frame do a "FADE" Image Transition with the one next to it. Make it short, like 4-5 frames long. This will make it more smooth. You may also want to edit the frames per second with only those new frames.

I just did it for you. Its a bit better, shows a little less snap at the end. I also culled the animation which made the file size smaller, but also made the fps look smaller.
[img]http://thisfile.me/ss/aftermath_by_sethlebatard-d5n0gq0.gif[/img]
Okay I understand, thanks for the tip !
Do you know if it is possible to achieve something like your fading technique with photoshop ? I guess there is a technique for that but I would say... something "quick and dirty" ? :)
Edit : I think I found a way, changing exposure manually in Ps in the last frames :)

Made this for myself only to find out that only Gold Members can upload animated avatars. :suicide:
Anyways, here's the non-resized version. (Pssst Valve please improve his texture)
It's not the best, but some random guy on the interwebz made 2 GIFs from my Source Filmmaker video on youtube.
Going to post it here first and then make my own GIFs and re-upload hopefully.

I didn't port/release the model or anything, Donte's AO and eyes are fucked. That's mainly why his eyes are closed.
