smeighan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 A user contacted me with a problem he was having trying to layer a gif with the fire effect.Long story short1) Animated gifs annot be used in layers, you should be using pictures2) Oops, i hadnt finished the Pictures effect class. It is now done3) I enhanced this effect so you can pick gif,png or jpg files4) Each picture can be moved up,down,left,right,none. None means your picture will be stationary5) New option for changing speed. I will retrofit most effects with speed. Speed=1 means each frame animation moves one pixel.speed=.5, animation is twice as slow, speed=3, 3 times faster. Start with 1.0 and then playSo how does it work? Select the pictures class. Upload some images and then create effects.So, first i will show that i solved the original problem. I must give credit to user phar for coming up with the idea to use the pirate image to overlay the fire.Here is a fire effect on a matrix targetHere is a static gif (direction=none). NOTE: gifs in the picture class are different than animated gifs in the gif class. Gifs are ok here as long as they are not animatedand here is the layer between the two. Use the Skull and bones as a mask against the firewhat about the speed and direction options?i will use this fractal for these tests:first testdirection = left, speed=1second testdirection=down, speed=1third testdirection=down, speed=2enjoy pictures!sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
