How to Animate

You will need:

A Sprite Sheet

Some gif maker (I prefer Beneton)

(and for some high-quality artwork I prefer using) GIMP

Beneton Download

Sprite Sheets

GIMP Download

Now you're going to take your sprite sheet (this ones pretty big)

And pull out a series of sprites that make a scene (In this case ill use his stance {first 5 sprites on sheet}) so it looks like this: (save as PNG or GIF)


You'll want to change his background to a color that isnt on him (so his eyes, skin, etc. arent see-though)

split them into diferent sprites: (This is where GIMP comes in)
If you used GIMP, you can make the size of all the sprites the same (In this case, i chose 50x50)






Now open Beneton and put the sprites in by clicking the Add Frames from a File button (to the right of the blank page with a plus, you can only add one sprite at a time)

Edit the Delays to make it how you want it, (start by trying 10, go up to make it slower, down to make it faster)

Here's my final product:

how does GIMP change the quality?

u hav alot more options that make ur gif alot easier to make.

U can make all the pics the same size
easier angling
easier scaling
u can undo more than 3 things, etc.

i have yet to find that first function, the make all the same size function

when u make a new image, u hav the option of choosing the size of the pic.

would that like cut and pasting into it or opening the file into GIMP?

if uve ever used gimp, ull kno that when u use a new image, a screen will pop up asking the size of ur pic.
