Just a thought - if people would prefer a winter scene versus a holiday scene just let the sig makers know

I've got an idea for owlhawk that I'll work on but it might take me a bit. Here's the list with links to the requestors post!

Twenty Four posted:

In all my years posting in byob I never have had a winter sig, I guess because I feel guilty that our winters are so mild here, and also because I guess it would basically be my AV in sig form and maybe not changed much, since I really like the "seasonal take" vanisher and manifisto have done on my other seasonal sigs (see below if you have sigs on).

So I would love something of the same theme as those (the road winding and the sign), in a regular winter theme, with just winter byob (not the year) in it? I guess it wouldn't take much. If I had any visual art skills at all or knowledge on how to use computer graphics programs i suppose I could do it myself, but it always feels so much more special and makes me really happy when someone makes me something like that. Especially since I am incompetent at that stuff so it seems like a gift from a wizzard!

I know it’s completely out of order but I’d love to work on yours

e: oops jk lol sk you got this

Dearest OwlHawk911,

I'm working through the last few things. In lieu of some crazy dizzying flying camera animation stuff I think a more simple static scene like this one would probably be better (with some minor animations like winking, fire moving, snow, etc). There are still a couple things to add, and I need to clean up lighting and materials a little.



Respectfully,

Let me know what you think al. This can be scaled/sped up/slowed down/scrapped.

Glutes Are Great posted:

Oh my god this is everything I ever dreamed of lmao
Thank you I love it!!

looks great and thanks friend it was a fun one to make.

(One tip for these webm/mpeg sigs, imgur doesn't respect the sig designer's intended dimensions and will scale the thing larger for you as an automatic horrible feature. If you upload to gfycat it will stop this. To make sure these work on mobile make sure you link the webm version not the mpeg version. click this: and select "HD" which does not do that but changes it to a webm. Then right click and copy the link).


Prof. Crocodile posted:

I would be delighted for your help! Is this something you could teach me? I have a feeling this won't be the last huge cumbersome sig that I create.

I have updated my post with the final (albeit bulky) version.

I was going to work up this crazy long probably impossible to follow post about taking a gif file in GIMP and creating individual PNGs out of every frame, then moving those to blender so you can export the catastrophe as an mpeg. Or worrying about the frame replacement method and number of colors in your GIF. Then I realized that gfycat will actually take a gif and convert it to a webm for you. I literally dragged and dropped the gif into gfycat and it spit this file out:

https://giant.gfycat.com/GloriousDemandingKoodoo.webm
code:
[url]https://giant.gfycat.com/GloriousDemandingKoodoo.webm[/url]
It's only 300kb, a pretty huge filesize savings.

gfycat really is the place to host sigs now.



Sig images courtesy of the talented Luvcow, Dumb Sex-Parrot, & Death Sext

vanisher

One little caveat - if the gif has any transparency then you are up a creek and have to work out how to make the gif smaller using only the skills god gave you. Webm files can't have transparency, unless i'm an idiot which is possible.

This site is neat for many things other than making gif file sizes smaller.
https://ezgif.com/optimize

It can reverse a gif, combine a gif with another gif, add sparkles to your gif probably, all while working conveniently from your home.

even a very small amount of "lossy" compression (not sure what that word means or what its doing, but it makes it grainier on a scale of 0-200) will shave a bit off a file size and allow it to be small enough for an avatar, etc. If you dial it way up it looks awful imo, unless that's what you are going for in which case I love you.

I've used it many times to make a gif loop a little (reverse it, remove some of the duplicate end frames, etc)
