I was going to making GIF from the beginning!

I looked up several Youtube videos to study how they sparkle...

Actually, I haven't had much knowledge of jewelry.

Jewelry to me... I rarely see it in my real life, because I am a type of person do not wear watch, rings, necklaces or something. 

Sometime I find jewels in the game, I sell it to a store. 🤑

But it's not means that I'm not interested about them. 

I like basically beautiful stones.

When I see a nice stone, I want to bring them for put in my fishtank..

The fact that it is part of the Earth is romantic.

So this time I had a chance to study various kinds of jewel stones.

I found many interesting facts,

For example, I heard a rock called Fluorite for the first time, and it is famous for healing stone. Some people when they study, they study with crystal in their hands. In the East, Jade is famous for giving good energy.

Also ancient ancestors tend to think of turtles as sacred animals because they live long. 

Turtle paintings are symbols of longevity and good luck. 

I hope this GIFs brings you good luck and smile😁

Animating guide

It's a checklist of what to animate. It is almost the same as the first conti.

• Turtle Movement - Swimming, Hide, etc.
• Diamond prism
• Light
• Color change of Alexandrite (This jewel is famous for color-changing.)

The GIF was planed with 24 frames.

Sometimes the turtle moves overlap.. it gets a little complicated.

So it would have been better if we made it 36 or 48 frames. 

It's not that hard to add more frames but, Why I just use 24 frames?

• -Loading of social media, capacity limits
• If the number of frames is increased, the quality of the images will deteriorate.

And It's simple loop animation, so... :D

WIP -  GIF part

Glossy white light. Use 3 frames.

Add many color of light for white opal turtle, Use 12 frames

Rough swimming animation

Same effect for Black opal (12 frames)

Add prism ! (24 frames)

Alexandrite's color (24frames)

White light, Pink light

Fire breath

Smile of turtle

Rough of hiding turtle

Neck stretch

This animation took the most time out of all the GIFs I made so far.

There's no very complicated animation, but there's a lot of frame for the light effect
