charge energy pose

Shadonking · February 14, 2009, 05:31:26 pm

Okay i need a charge animation with energy coming of him but i want it to be coming off a person as if they are just standing still. (not arms out)

im using the defualt Fighter04 character and its for blizz abs charge animation.

thanks

Landith · February 14, 2009, 10:28:47 pm

Details please?
I don't get what your asking...

Calintz · February 14, 2009, 10:34:59 pm

The 1st and 3rd pose in every charaset is of that particular character facing down, right, left, up, but while standing in place. No steps, no jumps, no runs, no animation at all...

Copy and paste that frame into all 4slots, removing the characters beneath(run, jump, step, whatever).
**Then, add the animation of the power up going across frame by frame.

Landith · February 14, 2009, 10:37:15 pm

That's all he is asking?
Hold on...

Is This what you want?: Show

Calintz · February 14, 2009, 10:39:49 pm

I do believe so.

Calintz · February 14, 2009, 10:43:17 pm

Yup, yup.. .. ..

Shadonking · February 15, 2009, 07:14:43 am

i had problems with my internet cennection so i had to type the first post a few times and i fogot to put the main detial in.

edit corrected first post, sorry for the trouble

G_G · February 15, 2009, 10:18:41 am

like an aura surrounding him?

Shadonking · February 15, 2009, 11:51:44 am

yeah. thats what i meen

again sorry for the mixup.

Landith · February 15, 2009, 12:37:18 pm

Alright, so you want an aura sorrounding him?
Do you want it to flow up and continue to flow in the animation?
Slightly transparent?
What color?
For all frames?

Once you answer these I could start to work on it.

Shadonking · February 15, 2009, 12:51:59 pm

yes, yes and yes please to the first three questions and for the color a redish color would be cool.

about the last question does bliss abs animation use all the frames if yes that would be great.

Landith · February 15, 2009, 01:01:58 pm

Yeah I think it uses all frames, or it should...

Spoiler: Show

Tell me if that's not what you want...

Don't use that, it's just an outline...

Calintz · February 15, 2009, 01:10:22 pm

It should use all 4frames...for each direction...
Landith, Lmao, I said he wanted the animation...

What color should the charge be??

Landith · February 15, 2009, 01:14:06 pm

I know lol I was just waiting on him to tell me what kind of power animation he needed, like some people prefer flames, auras, or even bubbles flying up

Calintz · February 15, 2009, 01:22:23 pm

HAHA bubbles!!
That would some serious shit!!

I am trying to help get you some information. He never even specified what color he wanted the charge.

Landith · February 15, 2009, 01:33:37 pm

Alright, I think I fixed all the bugs I saw in the image.

If you don't like it, tell me and I'll redo it.

Shadonking · February 15, 2009, 01:34:37 pm

an aura would be great.

Landith · February 15, 2009, 01:37:47 pm

Damnit... I didn't read your post right...
Hold on...

Calintz · February 15, 2009, 01:44:32 pm

Well Landith,
That is actually really nice, but instead of trying to work inside of the fighter's pixel limitations, you should increase the canvas size and utilize all that you can...

The head cuts off, but it doesn't have to.

Landith · February 15, 2009, 02:11:46 pm

True... But since it's going to be an aura and not a flame I don't have to do it for this one

Plus I suck at increasing Canvas Size... I always get the alignment wrong and have to divide by 4 again and make a grid according to that to align it up...

Calintz · February 15, 2009, 02:16:27 pm

What program do you use!?

Landith · February 15, 2009, 02:26:45 pm

For spriting I use Paint.net. Everything else I use photoshop and/or Gimp.

Calintz · February 15, 2009, 02:49:29 pm

Trust me,
Use photo-shop for spriting.

I didn't like using PS at 1st either, until I realized just how much you can do, and how handy PS comes in when you are in a little debacle.

Use the canvas re-size feature and you don't have to worry about your image moving. The utility has arrows that allow you to lock the position.

Landith · February 15, 2009, 02:52:25 pm

I'll probably end up using Photoshop for spriting but for now I use Paint.net because I've been using it for years and is most acquainted with. That and the color mixer is alot easier to use to shade.

Calintz · February 15, 2009, 02:56:01 pm

Have you used the color replacement tool and the select color features of Photoshop??
I'm not preaching, Lol, but I am simply trying to help you realize what PS is capable of. I am sure you are already mostly aware of PS expansiveness, but it really does make things easier when you sprite. Just make sure to hide the grid, or your pixels will snap to it.

Landith · February 15, 2009, 03:01:33 pm

Nope, does the color replacement tool replace all the pixels of that certain color with another color?

@Shadon: Sorry for going off topic...

Spoiler: Show

I didn't do much, just made it not look like flames...
Tell me if you hate it...

Calintz · February 15, 2009, 03:10:37 pm

Yes, simple "uncheck" the "contiguous" utility.

Shadonking · February 15, 2009, 03:45:03 pm

it looks odd with it not going above the head, sorry. also it didnt loop that smoothly on skills that take a while to charge.

but im liking the way its starting to look.

Landith · February 15, 2009, 03:54:46 pm

Alright, didn't think it would look good, I'll completely start over later when I have time...

Shadonking · February 15, 2009, 03:58:27 pm

ok, no rush. and thanks
