Moving icons.


Question Posted Wednesday May 30 2007, 2:12 am

What program(s) do I need to make icons that move such as the one below? I need a program that's easy to use, free (or at least has a free tutorial), and can make icons like this.

(that icon isn't made by me, by the way)

I would really appreciate it! Thank you so much!

As far as I know, you can't get a program like that for free. I have ImageReady, which comes with Photoshop, that makes animations (moving icons), but Photoshop/ImageReady is about $500 if you buy it new. I got it off eBay for $50 and they have it cheaper, but you'd have to do a search.

I know what I've said so far doesn't really help, but I just wanted you to know that most of those animations are done by VERY experienced people. You can't just get a program and make awesome icons. It takes practice, not to mention you'd have to LEARN how to make them before you actually do it.

Animations take time, patience, and LOTS of practice to make decent ones.
