JazakiAllahu khairan dear sister mabsoota - I have tried this before and it is excellent mashaAllah.
Inshaallah I will download it again

As Salamu Alaikum

I agree it is a lovely program

I will try this Inshallah

UmmBahirah

Asalam Alaykum, I am downloading it now, thanks.

is there something different between the one where you can paint stuff and this one you are talking about you can make graphics etc because i have the one that you can paint like in art rage etc

or is it exactly the same thing lol

Yes nadia, it's like art rage. I used to use this alot although I've now fallen in love with Adobe Illustrator, but you can get some really nice effects with this programe. You can make unique backgrounds and add flowers to them, and borders etc.

I get the image I need then copy it into Jasc Animtion Pro to animated it.

Here is where you can download Jasc Animation Pro for free mashaAllah > http://ftp.jasc.com/pub/en/ani311en.exe

Once you've downloaded it let me know and I'll see if I can give you a quick tutorial inshaAllah.

ok i have jasc animation shop 3 now,so inshallah can you give me a quick tutorial

Okay nadia, I see you online, are you ready for a quick tutorial?

First open both Twisted Brush & Jasc Ani Pro.

In T Brush, open a new page. Next to File and Edit, there is the button 'Page', click it and a menu drops down, click Set page size. Click the 'Units' box, and a menu will drop down and show 'pixels' 'inches' millimetres', you click Pixels.
To your left you'll see two places where you type in the width and height of the page size. Type in 150 in both boxes. Press 'ok'. You will see the blank page infront of you. This is what you'll be working on. If you scroll down with your mouse you'll notice it will magnify, to help you with detail inshaAllah.

Tell me when you've done this.

sorry sis i had left it on..

but anyway ive done those steps. what next :D

Okay good, now click on art sets and then 'Select Brush'. You'll see to the left a list of different brushes, pencils, stamps to use. Lets go down to Art Tools -Gouache, then click one of the different stlye of gouache, let's try Gouache Wash. Once you click on it you'll be back on the blank page. First check what size your brush is set at by clicking on the last icon in the list above, it has 3 different sized diamonds and a brush next to it. Click on it then right click and keep the mouse pressed and move the mouse back and forth, you'll notice the circle gets bigger and smaller as you do this. You need a size that won't dominate the blank page. Now you can use it, but first chose a colour on the colour pallet to your left hand side. I've chosen pink. Now paint your blank space with it. Once it's covered, you can go over it again and get an interesting effect with it, it shouldn't cover the whole page. Now, can you see those tiny rectangular boxes with a dot in each one to your left? Well these are layers and the last one should be highlighted, that's the one you've painted just now, okay so now click on the one above it. Here is where you will place some flowers. Also, if you make a mistake on this new layer, it won't interfere with the layer below inshaAllah. Keeps them nice a seperate until we reach the end. Also nadia, something to note, if you make a mistake, this can easily be sorted out by clicking ctrl z.

So now you are on the 2nd layer. Double Click on one of the art brushes listed on the left above the colour pallet. It'll take you to your menu of brushes. Find Collections - Flowers and Flakes. Chose a flower and place a flower into each corner of the page. Adjust the size of the flower if need be.

Once that's done, save it and we'll continue tomorrow inshaAllah.

sorry but i cant find art tools, maybe its not in the free edition, i think there is only a few brushes like basic oil, airbrush etc

inshallah you havent wrote the tutorial for nothing and its only me going..weird

I will have a look in my Twisted brush programme tomorrow inshaAllah. I don't think that we can ever have too many tutorials mashaAllah.
BarakAllahu feeki sis Mabsoota

Sorry nadia, I've got the full version and can't remember what you get with the free one. What I do remember is having a fair bit to choose from though. Okay so try any of the brushes you have that can give you a nice background, it doesn't have to be a smooth background or one that goes completely to the edge of the page. Why not try the airbushes out, first start off with pink, then change colours as you go along, a rainbow effect. Do you have the flowers collection in the free edition? If not then have a look for any other interesting image you can put in the corners inshaAllah.

And don't worry sis, the tutorial will be of help to someone, if not today then another day inshaAllah.

As Salamu Alaikum

Wow, I'm tempted to try Twistedbrush again. I remember it has some cool features.

for the tutorial

this is what ive done so far



i dont think there is anything like that on this edition but it doesnt matter if its simple :D

Ahh wow mashaAllah nadia, that's a great background. You can open it in Jasc Ani Pro now.

In Jasc Ani Pro, go to File and Open, you should be able to track your background down. It should appear as one frame. Now go to the colour box to your right and choose the colour you'd like your text to be. Click on it then go to the 'A' icon, this is for your type. Click on to your background and a box will appear and in it your can write anything you like, but for now lets just do your name 'nadia'. You can choose a font of your liking from the list above and chose a good size too, see if you want the type bold, italic or regular. Once you've got what you want, click ok. Now you'll be able to place your text where you want, remember if you make a mistake 'ctrl z' . Okay, once that's done we need to duplicate the frame by the number of letters you have in your name. So frame 1 will be for 'n', frame 2 for the letter 'a' etc. To do this, start off by stretching the box by dragging it to your right. You'll see other blank frames next to each other. Make sure you have clicked the arrow icon above, then right click on your mouse, go up to 'copy' then right click again and click 'paste' you'll see options for that, chose the one that says 'after current frame'. Do this 4 times. So you will have 5 frames altogether.

After that go over to the colour box and chose the white colour. Click the icon above which is in between the 'A' icon and the 'eraser' icon. Now go to the 1st frame and carefully click the 'N' of your name, it should turn white, now go to the next frame and click the 'a', continue this way until the last frame. highlighting each letter but in the seperate frames in order. Now, go to 'view' and click 'Animation'. Your animated avatar with your name should appear inshaAllah. If you want to slow the animation down, you just duplicate the frames by copying and pasting into the correct places. You'll get what I mean once you get the hang of it. You should play around with this program Nadia, don't be afraid to try out stuff by yourself and we the team will always be on hand to help you with any queries inshaAllah. Hope you manage to complete this tutorial. Finally 'save as' and upload it and show it to us. I want to see!!!

i didnt think the background was that good lol

ok ill follow your instructions now... :)

i did the text bit properly the bit i never get is how to copy and paste it and how to actually seperate the letters?
