Animated Showroom BG (1 Viewer)

[BlueZephyr]

I was looking at a background I often use and thought of an interesting idea. The bg is basically a small room with 3 viewing windows where there's people watching. I was wondering if someone could put animated porn murals in the windows instead of people watching. Sorta like those bgs with an animation on a tv, except a taller animation that fills, or nearly fills, the windows.

Something went wrong when linking a picture so here's a link to my Google Photos album of the bg I'm requesting a change to.

No real urgency for the mod, only if anyone has some spare time to entertain my idea. The animated porn could be pretty much anything, preferably hentai oral stuff. Also, I hate censorship so please no mosaic in the animations.

If you want to have a chance to see your request fullfilled, you'd better find the GIF loops you want to see in these windows.
I can tell by experience that it is very difficult to find an animation that will have the right size and lenght (it should be 10-20 frames), and that is a real loop.
Also, keep in mind that if GIFs can be zoomed in, it will be ugly if the pixels are too big.

You can use online GIF editors like Animated GIF editor and GIF maker, or download Gif Movie Gear that is very easy to use.

Good luck.

Your request gave me inspiration to give something a try, and I came up with the attached. It isn't animated, but I was capable of putting some images in the windows. Basically, in this interpretation, the "chamber" is where the android SDT models (in the background), after months of rigorous testing, reach final "synthesis" and receive their skin, hair, eyes, etc. colorization in the "life like chamber". If you're interested, I could probably find time to create a few static BGs for you that could contain just about anything you like. It's not exactly what you're looking for but …...

The big question that goes through my head now is if I were to record an SDT session and create a gif from it, would those prove suitable to have in the windows as animations. I do not have the software to create animated swfs. , so I'm pretty much locked in on "static" BGs. I can however, generate at the very least MPEG loops that I presume someone could convert to swf and create the BGs as animated.


What are your thoughts Syntax?

Nunya : so basically, it would be one layer with the foreground and windows, one (or several) layers with animations and one background layer.

The problem is to make animated GIFs with a transparent backgound.
As there is no automated way to do it (as far as I know), it means extracting all the images of the GIFs and changing the background to 100% alpha (transparent).
This could be done with a white SDT background, a raster graphics editor (eg. Paint.net) and its "magic wand" tool.
It is important that the GIFs make a perfect loop, ie. the last image have to be very close to the first one, so the animation flows smoothly and doesn't have a "cut". This is very hard to find (I searched animated GIFs for literally hours, scouring entire websites, and could find only a few that could be used) and making one is certainly quite difficult.

Another issue is to find foreground and background images and get a realistic perspective, with the same style as the GIFs.

I feel that all this is a lot of work for a potentially mediocre result.
Also, it's not because I'm giving some technical advice here that I propose to do he work. As I don't believe that I could make something good out of it, I won't do the job (users' requests or positive feedbacks are important to me, but this is not what's going to make me decide to make a mod).

O.K. So, I got curious today to see if I could pull off one of these transparent gifs. All of this is quite literally new to me for the most part, and I am learning as I go. So, anyway, I DID IT! (I think). I am attaching here mostly to get your feedback on how I did. I'm curious to know if you feel the quality is even close to others that you have seen. I believe I could make it even cleaner and get rid of the "bump" in it, as I didn't spend an enormous amount of time "cleaning" the edges, so I think the result could be even better if I got real meticulous about it. Anyway, have a look and let me know what you think.

Nunya : that's a good start if you've never done this before.
To avoid the "bump" at the end, you can make a "ping-pong" animation, ie. copying in reverse order half of the frames, but the first and last one.
GIF Movie Gear allows to do this in one click:

There is still a little issue with her eyes shutting, but it can be fixed easily with a raster graphics editor.

The black edges may or may not be a problem. Your animation looks OK on a dark background, but not on a brighter one.

If my animated backgrounds look good, it is because I avoid cutting out raster graphics images, because of this particular issue (and because of the work involved).
I made only a few like this: Hitō Nami, Hedyeh, Yamanaka Sawako. The last one looks horrible to me, but I spent too much time on the cutting out not to release it. People seem to like it, but I'm not happy with my job on this one.
All the others are regular GIFs (eg. Immoral Sisters 1) or decompiled SWFs added on a PNG background (eg. Mio). These methods are somewhat easier, but also have problems (regular GIFs usually have a bad resolution with a low number of colours, there's nothing one can do about it as GIFs are compressed 256 colours images, and it is difficult to find the right background for a SWF character, in style, lighting, colours, etc., sometimes, the parts of the character touching the ground seem to slide on it, like for Mio, and it is difficult to find good quality animations with realistic loops).

It may be possible to "record" movements of SDT and make an SWF animation out of it (with all the symbols and shapes kept, maybe sby knows how to do).
This would be the easiest solution here: no cut-out needed and vector graphics, scalable at will.
But keep in mind that you need a competent modder to compile the SWF anyway, and I won't be this one. As I said before, I'm giving technical advice, but I'm not interested by this particular job.

I had thought about recording some animations in SDT also, but I didn't want to use any of my characters due to repetition. I also don't have very good means of actually recording and editing an animation from the game.

The feel I was wanting to get from the bg is the animations in the windows are to advertise what the girl could do for the customer and to get him more excited. It's kinda like going to a love hotel and there's porn on the tv and various sex toys and stuff in the rooms. Not that I've ever been to one, lol. Just going by the stories I've heard.

I do have some gifs in my personal collection that have a nice loop, but they're not suitable for the tall windows.
