Random Effects that I have Made
 

I'll be posting throughout the night or maybe I'll just update this thread with images or something...but anyways:

Claw attack. Its going to have two, one right after the other, but I got lazy and didn't want to animate all of it.

looks like whatevers clawing it...whatever it is...is just walking through it...maybe speed it up?

It's just to see what it would ultimately look like in game.

it is too slow...like its dragging its claws slowly instead of swiping away

but it is pretty :)

It doesn't look like a swipe because the movement doesn't seem to accelerate, you need to staticlly increase the amount of pixels that the claws move per frame.

All the above about the speed is very true, go speed :D

But also its awesome, what program did you use?

So you're saying that I should increase the amount of pixels that is revealed as it gets closer to the middle and then slow them down again?

Anyways, I used Photoshop (layers <3) and then animated it with UnFreeze. Though I'm kinda looking for a better program to animate (that's free)..any suggestions?

My dad used to get Jasc software free until it got bought out by Corel, so I could get you psp 7-8 maybe pspX

or..you could just use photoshop to animate...
do you have cs2?

Really? And yeah I do.

just switch to image ready there should be a button in photoshop that does it

I thought you had to animate with Image Ready :megaeek:

I did not know that.

I somehow dislike Image Ready. I still use Animation Shop. And I also dislike 9.0 CS2. I like 8.1 CS better :>
