@TheEvilshopkeeper I suggest you check the following video for an alternative method to make similar animations, but in a much SIMPLER way.

[TheEvilshopkeeper]

you're using vista and am using windows 7 its not the same so please

[AnimeThemeSidebar]

@TheEvilshopkeeper The procedures to use ImageMagick on both Vista and 7 should be the same. What's the problem?

[TheEvilshopkeeper]

can you make i video on how to set image magick configuration

[batci11]

whats the title of the first song you used? LOL. its kinda cute :)

[KantoriX]

do u mind telling me the name of those 2 gadgets u got to the right side? mine are too big compared to urs :X

[doorOfSouls]

hey , i figured out everything and the system animator and player thing and thnx for replying :D , but i was wondering after i saw this video , how did you overlayed the anime player with effects of Media Player?

[AnimeThemeSidebar]

@doorOfSouls Well, when you set the gadget opacity to anything less than 100%, you can overlay it over anything on the desktop, including WMP (Windows Media Player) in this case. However, most of my recent animations already have the WMP effects integrated, so there is no need to do it in this clumsy way.

[bluekitties517]

I just want the little singing Miku... can you help me?? I downloaded the System Animator but idk what to do next

[AnimeThemeSidebar]

@bluekitties517 Go to the "System Animator => Extra Downloads" section and download the Vocaloids animation pack.

[NGUYENDUSTIN00]

oh u make a bunch of the sidebar things. okay subbed

[2Musicloversz]

[OrigamiExpertbackup]

@BeachPuppy702 oh thanks! =]

[Cabalen03]

hey mine said that

ERROR: The folder path of ImageMagick you specified is INVALID.

so what do i do here?

do i need to download the imagemagick program for it to work?

[AnimeThemeSidebar]

@Cabalen03 Yeah, you need to download ImageMagick in order to use "System Animator EQP Generator".

The latest 4.0.0 version of System Animator provides an alternative way to make similar animations, which requires NO extra program. ALL you need is ONE image. Check out this video for demo.

/watch?v=DUobxbBFcGc

[azn3339]

when i click the system animator eqp generator i says ERROr:it must contain the file bg.png

[AnimeThemeSidebar]

Just as the error message said, the animation folder you specified needs to contain the file "bg.png". Either there is really no "bg.png" in your animation folder, or the animation folder path specified in the script is incorrect.

[GutierrezDeVelasco]

ohhh so it runs with javascript? becouse ive been tryn to program a desktop pet but dont know how

[AnimeThemeSidebar]

Yeah it's basically JavaScript, enough for a desktop gadget like this.

[GutierrezDeVelasco]

does some one know how to do that on c saving it as a exe file?

if u do please pass me the code

[AnimeThemeSidebar]

This is a Windows gadget which is basically a mini application running on the IE browser engine (i.e. HTML+JavaScript). There is no .exe form.

[Hypermobilemind]

I have a feeling this takes up a lot of system resources. Also scripts are evil, if you make this in C and code it so it's architecture independent then that would be impressive.

[AnimeThemeSidebar]

I understand that the usual programming approach is better performance-wise, but as a "gadget" application for fun, I think using Windows Gadget as a platform is quite enough (and it doesn't really take up a lot of system resources, depending on how powerful your CPU is), and scripting is more flexible because anyone can modify it for his/her own goods with a simple text editor.

[Hypermobilemind]

Open source, man! Then anyone can still modify it. I was just making a point that if I wanted this on linux it would not work because the script is architecture specific, and the environment only works in windows.

I just like languages like C better, because while they are harder and take longer to code with, they are much more powerful, flexible, and most importantly, architecture independent (if you code them the right way).

[sasukerukia]

i SRSLY thought that you were gonna tell us how to animate a picture and the results would come out like how miku is in the beginning. and when i thought that, i wuz like "WHOA, WTF?" tho, thnx a lot

[pulaubetong]

friends can u teach me how to download animeside.....pleszzz put video how to download it?

[qwaffleboy135q2]

were do you get the miku midget? id be greatful if you told me lol

[AnimeThemeSidebar]

The one at the beginning? It's part of the Vocaloids animation set, under the "System Animator => Extra Downloads => Normal Animations" section of the System Animator homepage.

[qwaffleboy135q2]

lol thanks i got it to work !! :)

[NeighborsGirl]

you know the squares that "blink" when you use a static image as a music visualizer, i would like to know how make a static picture like the ones in some of you videos like:

【ANIMATED Desktop】初音ミク - Incarnation

and

【ANIMATED Desktop】東方 - Remilia the Sexy Vampire

[AnimeThemeSidebar]

That's something I wanted to introduce at the beginning, but unfortunately it's not an easy task. To make those animations, you have to load the picture in PhotoShop or something like that and actually make some modifications and extractions. This can be complicated sometimes, depending on the content of the image and how you want it to be animated.

Maybe I will try to make a tutorial video in the future, but in the mean time, this generator tool gives to a simple and AUTOMATIC alternative.

[NeighborsGirl]

could you make a video where you show how to get "blinks" fit to the picture, so its not just squares??? like in some of your other videos with the new system animator??? please :D

[AnimeThemeSidebar]

"blinks"? Can you make it more specific? Maybe giving me an example of which animation you are referring to...?

[RockMetalz]

freaking awesome!

thanks!
