READ: Okay first of I just hit remix and share this I did not edit anything. The reason I did that is because this is just so cool, and if theirs two copys of it more people can see it! My current profile pic I designed with this project! You have to check it out! Post a link below what you create, and share this anywhere you want! Feel free to do what I did and 'Remix this' so more people can see it! :) Directions below: How to make a static user icon? 1. Play around with the sliders and look what you get from it by pressing the go!-button. 2. Having found your preferred rosette open Microsoft’s Snipping Tool (alternative for Mac: Command-Shift-4) and take a screenshot from the rosette (see also https://www.capture-screenshot.org/). The blue square might help you to get a suitable size. 3. Save the picture as a JPG- or GIF-file on your computer. 4. Upload your picture: Go to your profile on the Scratch website: Click on your user icon. Navigate to the picture file on your computer. Click “open”. That's it. Congratulations to your new user icon! How to make an animated user icon? 1. Change the tool parameters and check the result by pressing the go!-button. 2. Have you found your preferred rosette, it's time to start a suitable image editor (I prefer and describe the procedure with GIMP -> https://www.gimp.org/). 3. Create a new image (300 x 300 px). 4. Come back to this website and set the “stop at”-slider at 0.1 and press “go!”. 5. Additionally open now Microsoft’s Snipping Tool (alternative for Mac: Command-Shift-4) and take the first “photo” from the nearly empty blue framed square. 6. Put the taken screenshot from your clipboard as an additional layer in the image editor (How to handle “floating selections” look at: http://www.dreevoo.com/content.php?id=664) 7. Set the ”stop at”-slider at 0.3, then press “go” again and get the next screenshot. Put it as a further layer in your image editor. Go on until you reach the final time 5.4 (As you notice, little by little you can make bigger time leaps). 8. Having imported all your taken pictures in GIMP crop the remaining blue borders with the crop tool (You can crop all the layers at once). 9. Export now your work: Click “File”, then “Export”. Give your work a name and write “.gif” on the end. Click “Export” again. 10. Mark in the pop up window the options: “As animation” and “Loop forever”, then set the “Delay between frames” on 200 milliseconds. Click “Export” a last time. 11. Upload your GIF: Go to your profile on the Scratch website: Click on your user icon. Navigate to the GIF-file on your computer. Click “open”. Congratulations to your piece of hard work!
It was all done by @KICK_THE_HABIT . It's just so cool, and read the top if you want to see why I just remixed.
