ALMOST LIKE CHARACTER GENERATOR

[Gespenst]

Actualy. I am. My self was trying to make some chars in same way. But overused parts looks strange.
Like make all heads which you will be needing. Later torso.

There is no point arguing about this.

Obviously there is a trade off between making as many unique parts for better quality
and recycling parts as often as possible for less work.
And it's been like that before when basic actions get copy pasted - edited slightly - overlayed with some energy - and voila a special move is born
(many of the original character frames were created this way or even simpler).
For the sake of giving a starting point with the basic actions gad did everything very roughly of course.

You should look at the arms in the rolling frames ... they are made up of many many small arms ...

Also I went rage lazy mode to test this and just pasted two heads on the template (and changed colours).

Trial version though - won't be buying or pirating it.

edit@gad: I think you should not use any adjustment layers on a template that aren't in the lib. If one just replaces all symbols he is still left with some adjustment layers all over the sheet and he will have to search and delete them every time. Instead it should use more new symbols for those adjustment problems.

how to convert into usable spritesheet

may be print screen

[Gad]

If you're using CS6
Right Click on Template symbol in library -> generate sprite sheet
else, you will need to:
Right Click on Template symbol in library -> export PNG sequence
and then merge up all exported pngs with a spritesheet generator, you can use this online one http://draeton.github.io/stitches/
configure it and there you go!

I haven't tried this yet. Is it possible to tear up a single standing sprite into body parts needed for the template and get a spritesheet out of that using this?

dude there is no freaking export png thing ...

hey, I know also way to make quick chars with no flash macromedia.
draw similar amount of parts like in this

and just put every part in a place which you need.
+Saving pc memory.
+no need to download macromedia
+no need to code template.
+its easy to use.
+ you can make fast enough


worth to try


nothing to offend, but thats also good way

Ok, so then tell me, if it works that way:
Export->Movie
Select format PNG sequence
Sorry, I don't have CS5 so I don't see the possibilites ;D.

Sorry for getting upset, but: (Click to View)

Mono, what's your point?
You're trying to pick a hole in this method, without any reason.
Goddamit.
Can't you understand, this is 10 times faster than copying each part every time?
It's a way for ppl who can't sprite well and don't have patience, time to do it. So they can use the template just to replace the character.
You want more C+P and recolours? No problem. But I just made a way for some guys, who can and want to use flash, to create this in couple minutes.
I'm not saying this is perfect way, but this is a METHOD FOR PPL WHO CAN'T SPRITE.

GODDAMIT, IS IT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND?
You're trying to point unfounded defects of this system.

Nobody is trying to convince you to use it.

And this

+no need to code template.

Just what? xD

It is, but not without adjusting the parts.

errr, no offense Gad, but you know, um to make custom char, you still need to draw parts.
I would call fast char maker or something but not for people who cant sprite

[Gad]

This method wasn't created for me.
If you didn't notice, I firstly came up with drawing each part apart.
Somebody asked me if I could use the symbols.

AAAARGH
