Heh, whenever people see an animated neopets fun image on a graphic, most of them are like "Woah how did you do that"? Well you'll find out in this tutorial. Remember that this is meant for PSP8 and Animation Shop but may work with other programs that support scripts and any other similar animation program ;).
Okay, first open your PSP. I'm assuming that you have the graphic you want to have a fun image on ready :D.
Now go HERE and choose a fun image for your graphic,
preferably one that fits the theme of your graphic. Right click on the fun image and click "Save Picture As...".
Save it into your folder. Next go to that folder and find your fun image :D. Then right click on it and then select
"Open With... >>> Choose program..." and double click on your animation program. Now you can see all the frames
of your fun image! Coolio ._.
Okay, now right click on the first frame and copy. Go back to PSP. Don't paste just yet. You have to record a script.
Look up at the top bar. You should see this:
^^ If it's not there, go to view >> toolbars >> script. Click the blue circle button. That's the record
script button. Whatever you do is now being recorded (pressure xD!). Now go to edit >> paste >> paste as new layer.
Get rid of the white space around the fun image (look at the tutorial if confused). Move it where your fun image
to be on your graphics :-P. Click the last button shown on the screenshot above ^^. That's the save button.
Name the script something you'll remember, such as funimages :P (remember to save it as .PSPscript :D). Save
your graphic as something like GRAPHIC1.filename (of course, replacing "GRAPHIC" with your own name and filename with .png, .gif, or .jpg). Now delete
the fun image by clicking on the fun image with the mover tool (this will select teh layer) and pressing "delete"
on your keyboard. Repeat those steps in order starting from "Okay, now right click the first frame and copy".
Except, instead of right clicking and copying the first frame, do the second one and then the third etc and when, and when your saving click save >> as or you'll get pretty angry. Oh, and also when your saving,
save as GRAPHIC2, GRAPHIC3 etc.
By now you should be done with all of the frames :P. It's time for the animating! Go to your animation program.
Put all your files into different frames (in order). Here's how to do it in animation shop: open the folder your first file is in, then drag your first file into your
animation shop, then enlarge the frames window. Drag the rest of the frames into the other different windows (in order).
Now we're out of the animation shop explanation lol. Oh, and set the frame property for each frame to 10. After you've put all your files into different frames,
save. Your done! You can see your animation now wherever you saved it ;).
Did it work? If so, congrats? If not, you know the ritual :D. Remember that if you chose a fun image with a lot of
frames to start, it would take longer.
