Don't ask how the picture fits with the tutorial. I just made it because pretty. I like pretty.


Looping particles in a GIF can be difficult as you can't keyframe them to transition smoothly.  Some people have asked how I go about it, so have a tutorial on how.


This will probably be above some peoples head or software capability, but it isn't as much about this being the "only way".  It is about showing you the basic idea behind how you can and you seeing what is available to do similar.  I know After Effects could be used to do the same and export as an image sequence.  Other programs could offer similar.


I can try to help if there are people confused, but please, if you are going to ask a question, go into enough detail of the problem so that I can actually help.

Although SFM is too hard for me, I guess this will be very useful for many other users. Good work on the poster though.

Nah, just re-purposed this picture .  Wanted something with a lot of effects.  Also, I like having eye-catching thumbnails.

You have the tendency to make all your stuff eye catching
