  • I`m wandering,

    I`m looking at the character i draw yesterdaym thinking how should i split him apart to prepare him for bone movement. And i start wandering did i did him right, did i use enough colours or is the shape good for that? But my question to you is: Is there any specific design rule for sprites that are going to be animated with bone movement?

  • there are no rules, but generally you split up the sprites in such a way so that the seam is very hard to notice, cut up his arm and leave some extra stuff at the back so the sprite wont split.

    theres a thread showing aquaria graphics by david in open topic which should help you, look for it, its not that old.

    I've seen it some time ago.

    My sprite is diferent. i`m a bit a afraid i gave it to much depth.

    For what i've seen by now, sprites that are prepared for bone movement are being simplefy shaped and less depth. Altho i will draw another one which will be prepered for cutting for the animations i`m not shure is the style good for bone anim.

  • Instead of losing detail and shape, why don't you use some slight alpha to blend into each segment.

    What you have there should work fine if you assemble it carefully.

    Hey, that a good idea!

    edit@ have anyone from forum has got expiriance in making sprites for bone movement?

  • You might check a few tuts on adding bones to 3d models, and you might open up some existing animations. I think the hardest part right now is getting creases like in elbows, and knees, but I suppose for that you could simply add another animation.
