Description
"I mean, it's just so weird! Nearly everypony who tinkers seems to like cramped, dark rooms."
"Yes, a lot of grays and shadows..."
"Yeah! Why would you do that? Don't you want to see all those beautiful cogs and levers as they spin and whirl?"
Created for Mimiero . Features her colorful engineer, Precious Metal , and her pet, Gadget .
Now on tumblr !
TechnicalStill image created with inkscape .
The animations were made and exported with aniGen .
Exported with Adasek's SVGRender . Since new Firefox seems to disagree with it, I'm using an old version 11.0.
Nice and colorful commission to start off with after the hiatus.
You too can make animations with AniGen !

Silence is golden, though. Fits the whole "moving picture" thing more. Plus, I don't have to deal with looping video.

I see you have much experience with gifs, it should not be so difficult for you. First, you need to perform with vector-art, particularly understand well the structure of SVG format; After reading a lot about SMIL ; Then you can play with aniGen, personally the file which helped me to understand this way was this: fav.me/d5as2vv . Good Luck!

Well, I don't think there are any, sorry. I'd love to make some, but it's all pretty obvious stuff.

I'm just a plain old MS Paint artist so it's not all that clear to me yet, but I'm willing to learn! I'll just google some tutorials or look on youtube. :3

The level of complexity that you reach is amazing.
I have many problems with SVGRender (it's a pity that for firefox has not more support anymore), I never could render to frames.
Oh, the kitten have horn, so cute!

Thank you.
Well, I had problems too - with new Firefox, it seems, the necessary tools just aren't there any more for some reason. I should work on fixing the aniGen export system, as that's broken now too... but I'm just not sure where to start.
But you can use SVGRender with older version of Firefox. Of course, this would mean uninstalling your normal Firefox, if you use it. However, there IS a workaround - if you use Firefox Portable , you can have two independent versions of the browser on your system. Furthermore, Portable doesn't update (I think) on its own and is, well, portable - no rewriting your data, no messing up your system etc.

Thanks, I use linux, so I'll try to compile the version that you recommend me at a separate partition.
A couple of weeks ago, the export to gif of aniGen work well for me (with more fat files I imagine that must saturate the graphic server).
You are the aniGen's developer; Oh gods, I just realize!
Your web application really does the work so much easier, thank you. I do not have much abilities, but in the future I would like to contribute to the MLP Database Files or the translation/s of the manual.

Well, I haven't actually "developed" it in a while now. But I should really look into these issues. In any case, there are other problems with the exporting which I'm not sure how to fix.

Yes, it's hard. I had seen in github projects, some scripts which promised to do that, but so far none work me or it were outdated. I will continue looking for about having to find any alternative solution or something that can be useful for you. If so, I will send you a note.

Well, I actually figured it out. It was just a minor issue with the zip library I've been using. I'll update the editor soon.
Still, some things just don't render correctly, and I'm not sure why.
