New Avatar fad! Seizure avatars! [Archive]

Seizure-inducing avatars are now a fad, it's 100% official.

I thought I'd start off the new amazing and popular craze by doing avatars for a few forum buddies.

I decided it would be funny to write a PHP script to spaz up images. :p

http://www.lukewallin.co.uk/gifspaz/

For some reason getting working gifs by saving the output only seems to work from Opera. I have absolutely no clue why. Huge file size atm, and it's not as good as what melon does.

Melon

28 Nov 2007, 22:57

Shockdude - They should rename this from a Game and Win to a Game and WiSDXSDBHFUIHVUH
http://www.kieranmillar.com/t17avashockseizure.gif

Haha. Nice script Bunsy. If you're interested, here's exactly what I do, in case you wanted to make them exactly the same:
All frames last 50 milliseconds.
Frame 1 : Normal picture.
Frame 2: Scaled up 10% and then rotated 5 degrees clockwise.
Frame 3: Normal picture inverted.
Frame 4: Frame 2 inverted.
Finally, I drop it to 30 colours by indexing it. This usually gets it below 10k unless it's HK's avatar, which I had to drop all the way to a rather poor 13 colours.

Shockdude

28 Nov 2007, 22:57

...
well, actually, the gifspaz does work in firefox
but yeah, melon's seizure avatars are better

edit: melon posted while i was typing
the av didn't turn out as good as i thought it would be, but that's probably because my av doesn't have very many colors

I'll try it again sometime. YAY FOR SMALL ATTENTION SPAN! it helped me out in this. I was daydreaming the whole time, yet I know how to tell if I blinked or not.

I'm one of the few people with a regular avatar now..... NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I like the seizure avatars better, yeah the other fads okay, but this one is the best of both of them.
