On my free time I was thinking about making model then animating it to a gif or something.

TIF, TARGA and JPEG formats all render to seperate image files. I'm sure photoshop has some way of putting together some image sequence like this into animation, but its probably not to automated.

I was hoping there is some format or plugin allowing gif animation rendering. So, I can make some animated avatars.

Photoshop comes with Image Ready. Open Photoshop then in the tool bar right at the bottom, click on Edit in Image Ready. If you have all your images in one folder you can import them all into Image Ready as frames (click on File - Import - folders as frames). Once finished you can saved as animated GIF.

ImageReady is gone in CS3... how do you do this now? With Fireworks?

Has it really? Sorry I don't have CS3 so I don't know how it would be done. I would think you could do it in Fireworks also, unless that's changed beyond recognition?

Didn't they incorporate Image Ready into Photoshop in the CS3 version? If you have CS3 the method is probably similar to be done right in Photoshop. I may be wrong.

No, what you do is render it as an AVI....then File > Video Frames to Layers.....for CS3 ;)

if you have CS3 Extended you can actually open name001.tga and then check the sequence check box. It will automatically get the rest of the image sequence and set it up in a timeline for you.

Hope that helps someone....

According to one book I read, ImageReady has been discontinued, and some of its functions are in Photoshop. For rollovers and image maps you need to install Fireworks.

CS3 does have the "Animation" (timeline) palette from ImageReady as part of the program so could still do the GIF anim within PS. i use it for quick "avitar" type icon stuff...
