Nique's happy fun time thread ~ Super general discussion

[Rester]

I thought about that. My biggest issue is that I really wanna play only one character that I would bother to keep up with. While I love Lalafell my vanity for gear appearance and my love of cats tugs me in the Miqo'te direction.

I could make alts but then I would feel obligated to play each of them equally.

Frame by frame he marches x_x;

Are you offering to make my Lala's walk Sylkis?

As for flash, I don't know how to use it at all. Funnily enough a while back I used to only use Illustrator, I really just liked working in vector. I had a vector pet store and used to sell the animals for gaia gold.
I would sell the eggs, then after a period of time or an amount of exp was earned by the owners, they would grow up into a young, then adult form lol....

Making Sephiroth a kitty before it was cool.
Good lord was that really 2007? >.>

Belldandy is quite cute, and so is Jack Sparrow.... Savvy?


Pretty sure there's a TON of free tutorials on flash character animation. I've never done it myself (although I've coded in Flash extensively), but it was at one point a rather hot topic. Whether it's worth learning though ...

omg omg omg omg

Nique, another way to animate using flash is to illustrate the moving parts onto different layers (Arms, body, head, legs, etc). From there, it's a simple matter of setting keyframes and letting flash do the rest.

this is a classic (read, old) example. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/58184

Flash offers a lot of great tools for animating. It ain't easy, but no animation is. It took me several months to knit together the animated cartoon I used to propose to my wife, primarily cause a lot of the animation system was also driven by code based on audio cue points rather than outright timeline based animation.

Everything in it (except the music) is done by me, including the voice over.

That is one of the most adorable things I've ever seen. And the voice-over is fantastic, it reminds me just a little bit of Stephen Fry doing LBP.

Hey, I'm doin it again next weekend.

I'd like volunteers for a mob of Miqote to accompany us....
