How to make the sig

I've had a question literally for about a yr, but i've seen a couple of sigs on other car forums where they have like the front, side, and rear cartoon type pic of there cars some will have the lights blinking or doing what not... i see it mostly on the 240sx forums and one guy on the nycnissans forum, what program does somebody uses for that???

Personally, I like the ones I see on a lot of Civic and Accord forums that have the front and side-profile pics of the user's cars in the same style. I was never quite sure where they got them, though...

When I bought my 2003 back in, well, 2002... Nissan's website had that rotating quicktime thing going on. I took a screenshot of each angle, reduced the images and stitched them together as a rotating animation. Funny thing is, the tail end looks 5th gen, not 5.5. I always thought that was odd.

It would look better bordered, I think, unless you're using a white background.




Should ever I pony up the org donation for a paid membership, I was thinking of using it in my left-side sig. Although, I think I read something about sigs and animations. That, and it's gray, instead of silver.

Nice. Thanks.

Oh wow... I just went looking for the originals, and I still have them! 36 separate frames in all. Yeah, it's definitely 5.5 gen. Man, that seems so long ago now. Best $27 grand I ever spent!

Left-side sig is an Avatar...your only allowed to upload a 150x150 pic and it has to be less then 39.6kb....thats why most no one has animated avatars...


Also animated sigs are prohibited on this forum.

Sorry

"Avatar". Got it.

Hmm... currently at 150x56 and 52k, I bet I could redesign it under 39k with a little effort. Thanks for looking up the requirements!

Cartoon Cars... I think Hustler wants something like this, but of his maxima:

they are *.gif files

Microsoft has a free animator for it.

Jasc Software has the best IMO


As far as animated sigs go, I see people with them, depends on the Mod or Admin...I had mine removed and so have some others, its in the rules somewhere, but its again up to a single person to decide.
