I cant make any good avatars.
Even with stevobi's guide.
Can someone tell me how to remove the background of the original picture and add a new one.

Here you go, I finally did a cut out tutorial.

After you have your cutout saved:
1. Open your background image
2. Select the LAYERS menu
3. Select IMPORT NEW LAYER FROM FILE
4. Pick the cutout you want in the file dialog box
5. Profit

This and a lot more info found here Be sure to check the links in that thread, there are more tutorials in there.

Are those possibly from my SI vectors? It's fine if they are I'm just curious since you were asking for a link to my vectors ;-).

  • 10.18.2008 8:34 AM PDT

ya, That's why i asked for them. I meant to mention your name, better fix that...

I'd love to do one, does any one know about file size limitations? If I want to do an animated .gif avatar, I suppose I shouldn't make 500 frames and then go, "crap, too many!"

Here is my avatar based on ObiWan's tutorial. I did it a bit differently though.

Thought I'd throw one together for a minute, here it is:
Rotating Globe

See, all I did was lose the blue sphere, and it gives it a completley different look. :) Will make some... better ones soon.

Nicely done, but the guy holding the sword looks too washed out. I know that is what you were going for, but make him just a tad more defined.

That's pretty good. But, where are Gnop, Minotaur, Operation Desert Storm, Oni, Myth 1, and Myth 2?

Oh, and when are we going to ever get the new avatars and user skins? I thought we were told we would get them by the new Bungie.net update, or the Halo 3 update. Are they being held back until a new update, or something?
