Im currently working on an ettin from IWD. Im having a few probs with the tutorial.1: I have made the missing camera angles, in the tutorial it says to have 16 frames per direction. I have done the attack so far but he floats (i'll do the offsets later). Now when the frames go in each direction, this is where my problem arises. Do I put the 16 attack frames for each direction in their corresponding order or do I save each direction as a different file. That might not sound too clear. What I mean is do I put the 16 frame attack for the left down then left up in that order or do I do something different? Thx for helping if u do!

Anyways, here is what you do: save every direction(the important ones like downleft, upleft, upright, downright, down, left, up, right) as seperate gifs, edit their background and whatnot, then make a new animation and combine all the angles together into one animation(make sure they are in the right order too). After you get that done, post back later for anymore help. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

I have done all the angles and put them in order, what i mean is that the full attack is 16 frames so how does that work? Do i put every frame for the first stage of the attack in the right direction order then do the same for the next direction?------------------ There is no I in team, if you want to rob the drops from the party at least kill them off first

The full attack is not 16 frames, are you talking about one angle or all 8 angles. I doubt all 8 angles combined equal only 16 frames. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

I mean per angle so all 8 angles will make 128 frames------------------ There is no I in team, if you want to rob the drops from the party at least kill them off first

Put the animations in this order: downleft, upleft, upright, downright, down, left, up, right. So, all frames for the downleft animation go first, then the upleft animation, etc.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage
