Attack of the heads!

how do you guys make those gif's?

Debug mode + console + Wiki knowledge = Possibility to change proportions of body parts.

I meant how you make any gif that only shows 2 seconds of lugaru. What do use to record and convert to gif?

Take a series of screenshots, open the files in PS, place the screens on top of one another as layers, save as a GIF with animation selected. G2G.

Or just download GIFfun and use it on a folder with the images in it, in alphabetical order (Numerical works best for me when making things like Thing, just be sure to use zeros on frames less than so many digits wide if it contains more than so many frames, like 01, 02, etc if it has more more than 9 frames but less than 100.)

I think it's Mac only though

Yeah. I knocked out a skull too.

Well, don't leave 'em lying around anymore. Don't ya know animals can get their head stuck in stuff like that?



But I knock a few out too: sometimes on the fly...



and sometimes when they're havin' a lie down.



Other times I just reach in and pull it out.



The interesting thing is some bunnies can live without one.



They prolly didn't use it that much anyway. Or what was inside it, either.

How do you manage such amazingly high framerate for those GIFs?

Same thing happened to me, Rudel.
I refreshed and it disappeared.

I can usually fit a max of 20 or so frames or layers into a GIF. If I want it to move fast, I use a delay of 0.0 seconds, which makes it flow smoothly and just about "normal" speed. If I want it to move faster, I use 0.03, and it really zips along.

It's a trick. I actually stabbed him in the head, started the screens after the knife disappeared into the skull, and popped it just as the knife was about to reappear.

... Sweet <.<

Should've put that caption on this one as well

Looks somewhat cartoonish, don't he?

GIFfun won't let me use a delay less than 10, unfortunately.

But 10 does work pretty damn good.

GIFFun won't work at all, or make gifs with extremely bad quality.
I've tried Photoshop, GraphicConverter and like 3 other apps,
and everything has some problem.

I think I'm going to make all my wannabe-gifs into one video instead if they look acceptable when animated (framerate), since QuickTime lets me do that at least.
