^ Undershirt over the uniform? huh? Confused.

yes, she stood over tactical of the Enterprise-E.

 

[Brian]

But the red shirt is worn under the black and grey uniform. You want it on the outside?

no

 

[Brian]

Ah. Therein lies ITL's confusion. Because you said:

no, she is wearing a red undershirt over the duty uniform.

(emphasis mine)

 

[JamesSmith]

Sandy Cheeks is standing over tactical of the Enterprise, ITL

 

[ITL]

OK, is this the uniform you want to use?

 

[JamesSmith]

no this, http://www.st-spike.org/images/uniforms/2373-2394/uniforms_27.gif

she is wearing a normal duty Starfleet uniform.

 

[ITL]

So is that the exact thing you're after? The only red visible is the neck of the undershirt.

 

[JamesSmith]

yes, that's right

 

[ITL]

OK, here's one with helmet: [click] and one without helmet: [click]

[Jetfire]

I had to do a double-take when I saw that pic, Neal McDonough (Lt. Hawk) then looks a lot like Chris Pine today, thought you had thrown in a bonus 'shop there for a moment.

^ No bonus 'shop, just uncannyossity at work!

Thought I'd try out some new software on an old 'shop of mine:

Neat effect. You could have some fun with that, methinks. What software did you use?

I used Popims Animator - very cool, and free! I cleaned things up a bit in Photoshop after I generated the anim, as it does tend to add a bit of blurryness at times.

 

[M'Sharak]

^ Yeah, I noticed some loss of sharpness, compared to the original. Is that an unavoidable by-product?

 

[ITL]

^ Seems to be, yes. A little tweaking of parameters can give better results, as can taking a lot of care with the grayscale masking image that's used for calculating depth.

Also, I compromised on the GIF parameters to bring the filesize down on that animation.

 

[M'Sharak]

What was the filesize before?
