That really is tough Loyd. It's a lot of work setting up a new system. Win10 works fairly well for me. Microsoft keeps plugging a free upgrade to Win11 but I think "Rather the devil you know than the devil you don't" You are just going to have to bite the bullet. May the gods be with you. |

Re: Challenge 970: The bear gallery
Anna I'm going to risk a question here. 
Is this an animated clip you have found and adapted? In which case it is impeccably done. Is this entirely your own animation? In which case it is just stunning! Probably the best I have ever seen from you. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Anna, the difference between you and me is that I'm an amateur while you're a professional--need I say more. |

Re: Challenge 970: The bear gallery
Biting the bullet is all I can do for now... I found an animator program on the internet and decided to give it a try, but my antivirus/malware provider denied the download with a statement to the effect that it was malicious software. Is it is, or is it ain't...? Who do you trust...?  |

Re: Challenge 970: The bear gallery
Thank you all for your comments. I have access to Videoblocks and I found the bear clip on there, already animated. I just changed the colour and added a glow. _________________ Dorothy: Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore |

Re: Challenge 970: The bear gallery
First to animate the bear this week was Frank, with a clearly AI-generated bear. The light rays work really well here, and that’s a good cast of onlookers. I like the lighting on the two at the front especially. A wireframe bear from DavidMac, in glowing green lighting. The best thing here is the way the children interact with the table, really bringing it to life: I can’t imagine how you found such appropriate poses. I enjoyed the Robot Showtime version, but you lose points for the Fred Asbaire pun. Glad you’re finding those photos of people from behind useful! A 3D bear from dwindt, hovering above the table in a column of light. Darkening the room around it would have helped focus attention on the hologram, but it’s a good projection. A dancing bear from lwc, with added swinging spotlights. Not enough to draw a crowd of onlookers, then? Sorry to hear about your computer problems. If you’re back to making GIFs in Photoshop, you might want to check out my latest YouTube video. I like GKB's toy bear, encapsulated in its plume of light. A superb animated version, showing it to be a Star Trek-style transporter, with a great soundtrack. Beam me up, Scotsman. Excellent work from michael sinclair, with a pair of dancing bears. I see you’ve been at the Puppet Warp, and to great effect: really good movement, and a good choice of subjects. And it’s even bang on topic! Good stuff. A projection from tooquilos, with added bears in the background. I like how Ursa Major is represented in a couple of places, although to be pedantic it should really only face one way. Great lighting, but that square frame needs its edges feathering. The animated version is glorious, with its several La Rochelle locations. Fantastic bear movement, a great soundtrack. Splendid! A complete rebuild from Mariner, with a marble table and some very cute teddy bears. There are unanswered questions here: why are the walls such a drab grey? What sort of room opens directly onto a cornfield, with no path outside and no door? Your imagination is a curious place, Michael. |

Thanks, Steve. Yes, my imagination is a very curious place. Sometimes a bit too curious. |

Re: Challenge 970: The bear gallery
Thanks Steve. This one was fun. Finding the kids was a challenge but I was surprised at what you can find with a little ingenuity. I didn't have to warp or reposition anything. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

… but I like that kind of imagination; it leads us down all sorts of paths to wonderful images. Spike Milligan’s imagination has led me to lots of surreal places. _________________ If at first you don't succeed then skydiving is not for you. |
