Title: Need a bit of help with animation
Post by: Chaos Tayoko on January 01, 2007, 01:43:52 am

I recently started working on a game and I was making a base.

I am having trouble animation him walking, when i make it, it looks like if he is having a heart attack. Also i was told i need a pallet edit, any help would be awesome.

Well, before you start animating, i'd suggest getting all of the perspective issues ironed out.  His eyes are in a place on his head that suggests he is at eye-level with the camera, rather than at an angle (overhead.)

I'd suggest studying some RPG sprites and re-designing the character's position first.

he never said he was doing top-down did he? although the poses he used would indicate he is...

animations- 1 leg forward, opposite arm forward.-> other leg forward, first leg backwards, and each arm is in the opposite of its leg (arm forward, leg backward)

the angle will be face on, unless you can suggest a better one  ;)

Okay, sorry, i guess i should have asked before assuming it was supposed to be in a top-down RPG style.  Is it going to be a platform game, or is the pseudo-perspective style just your choice?
