Here's mine:http://media1.youshare.com/uploads/K...513bb41d42.gif
Btw, i followed a different tutorial that's like yours:)
And I did the color thing different.
I just have 1 question though. When you put the text in like an avatar, how do you make it so that the words stay there instead of disappearing and appearing?
This is what happened to me:(http://media1.youshare.com/uploads/K...14a80ee826.jpg And I tried putting the text in first before animating, but it only let me animate 1 word:(
Thanks for the tutorial!:)

Sora You see how your letters like O's there is no middle. You cand to fill it in when your a filling in ur outline color instead of leaving it transparent.

BuzzBoy133 12-30-2008 09:05 PM

Hmm... good, but those pics look confusing. I'm glad you made this. Now I don't have to PM people the link to the tutorial I used!

Kairi_Sora 12-30-2008 09:42 PM

Is this how it's supposed to be?:)
http://media1.youshare.com/uploads/K...gif?1210546022
I did every single thing and followed your tutorial:)

BuzzBoy133 12-30-2008 09:45 PM

Pinkglitter 12-30-2008 10:14 PM

You have to save it frame by Frame. So if the text is 20 letter you would have to make 20 sep. and then use an animation program to animate it. At lease that is what i think.

How come you have to have that font?
I messed something up so I can't download fonts anymore :[
I was able to download one, Walt Disney Script.

Pinkglitter 12-31-2008 04:08 AM

Idk. I learned from a Tut on another site and thats what they told me.

taylorswiftfan13 12-31-2008 04:10 AM

I'l try it with a different font and see how it works xD

daizyduke 12-31-2008 04:21 AM
