how do you place animation in your dx themes. do you use script or just animation strip as image? or is it something different. your themes always seem smooth just curious

Hi Buddy, I don't use scripts, (I think!) I make animation strips. I suspect the smoothness comes from small movements and lots of images, or just choosing carefully what to animate.
If you point out one animation in particular in any of my themes, I will send you the graphic file to look at, and then you can see what I do to achieve it, though I guarantee that it's nothing special!

Thanks for responding,Machine 410 DX is as good an example as any. My email is connected to my account you know when you click some ones name .
also if you could state what you typicaly use to assemble you strips it would help thanks again

BoXXi, you're much too modest about your talents! The quality of the animations (I'm thinking of the moving gears) is absolutely impeccable- it really takes a good eye to put something like that together!

Thank you, but I think you're much too kind about my talents! Those animations are fun to do if it all goes smoothly, but can be a pain if you don't get it right.

You've got that right BoXXi. I have noticed that when I cannot get something just right the only thing to do is walk away from the computer and think it through. Usually then when I come back I have it figured out.

Keila: I think it's all about patience when it comes to animations. I have to be in the mood to make them, and if you prepare properly, it will go smoothly later on.

Snarph: I hope you garnered a little knowledge studying that animation, and I hope to see some from you soon!
Good luck.........
