haloed Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 With the announcement of using GIF images to allow custom promotion backgrounds for a worker with a GIF image, how does one go about making a a clean looking GIF of the render? What I did was render the image as a png... http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r231/haloed114/test_zpsoqmvwtsj.png And than used GIMP to convert the file to a GIF... http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r231/haloed114/test_zps6umiolfu.gif But than you get those ugly edges. Is there a way to get a cleaner image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to get a cleaner image? I'm still trying to figure that out too. Gifs don't support partial transparency, so hair especially gets really messy looking around the edges. You can add a 1 pixel border around the image before you convert it, which gives you this... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii145/jtlant/Random/Testgds.gif Instead of this... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii145/jtlant/Random/Testgds2.gif But the border has to match the background it sits on, otherwise you get this... http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii145/jtlant/Random/Testgds.gif which kind of kills the whole point of having a transparent background, since it doesn't look great on a background that doesn't match with the border. Not that any of that really helps, but that's where I've gotten so far Edit: Idolized beat me to the punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
