I made a tutorial, to tell people step by step how to make an animated avatar/.gif.

Programs used: VirtualDubMod and Photoshop ImageReady 7.0
and a small FAQ at the bottom.

Here is the avatar that turned out during this process.

If you find I have goofed up, like spelling, wording, info, etc, let me know. Thank you.

I really need a way to make the background move to one side behind an animated character without it looking crappy. I got the character going, but i don´t know how to make the background move smoothly. Can you help me, please, oh please?
:iconhieikurama27:
Does the background do something similar to this?

Sometimes it can't be helped, others it can. If the character does this movement continually in the same scene sometimes the background changes, and you can use that one. Otherwise, you can subtly try to edit the background of each frame with some of the tools in PS to make it look smoother.

I couldn't do anything to the one I posted here because I wanted to preserve the art of the sky.

Could you give me a link to your current one so I can take a look?

Actually, i´ve just begun animating. I made a couple of animations of a head turning and a woman smiling, although they´re not meant for a moving background. I tried uploading them, but i don´t know how cuz i don´t get along with computers. I just wanted to know how to make the background move as if the characters were walking. Yes, something similar to yours, only to one side. Can´t it be animated independently to the character? ^^
:iconhieikurama27:
Ok, but I dont get your question. What is 'only to one side' and 'independently to the character'?
