Riviera Spriting Options

[Ethronix]

I'm not sure how many of you know about spriting(probably all...)but for the sake of argument: Spriting is taking images animations and statsheets and "customizing" them.

For example this animation is mine, I made it thanks to LC, and Grim(Neuropod.net for ripping the sheet)



That was made by taking the frames and (with each one) converting to gifs then using unfreez to animate them. Simple, except for aligning the frames so the animation doesn't "bounce" around everywere. (I was working with 70 at the time.).

Anyways does anyone else here sprit?

If so then please post you creations here.

(Any critisim & or praise is welcomed (NO-FLAMING!!)).


EDIT:Sorry I didn't mean to put it in general disscussion, thought I put it in projects....

The thing was suppossed to be transparent...(fixed)
Also, as far ripping the sheets themselves...



That is an example of a Hajimari no Ishi rip.

As for spriting itself, once again I don't type clearly enough:(Sorry I tend to be vauge at times)
Spriting can be any of the described activities such as animations, ripping, statsheets, battle scenes, conversations, mugshots(faces), and I'm sure there are others as well.

Here is an example of an earlier work of mine, a FE statsheet. (I've said this before but my computer can't save as png.)


Sorry for both the misunderstanding and the miss-placed post...

Wrong forum, it's not transparent, and usually spriting refers to the act of ripping the sprites from the game, not animating sprite sheets of other people's labour.

Like Malice.

I tend to do spriting now and then. Just look at my avatar. I'm also working on a sheet with Cierra attacking with her REAL staff! Not "Coral Staff", "Ruby Staff", none of that. If my comic ever comes to life, I'd prefer Cierra and Serene to use their original weapons.

if you can't save it as .png, you can still save as .gif. >__>

And Rai, I only animated some of them, not all. I don't do that anymore either. :/

[Raijinili]

But you do REAL spriting, not just piggybacking on someone else's sheet.

Rai:read the first post again.

secondly if I had the time to rip the sheets myself then I would, but between the AUSKF, school, work and trying to keep up with my games, I just don't have time to do something that someone else already found time to do.

(Off topic: Does anyone know how to get the Riviera Designer's Works book? Does it come with the game if pre-ordered or do I have to import it seperatley?)

Perhaps you should have posted that in a new post instead of editing it in.

It's a preorder bonus. You may or may not get it if you preordered the game.

You're right, sorry bout that.

May or may not?!

I already read the first post. I just thought you shouldn't think that what you do with spritesheets should be compared to REAL spriting.

And you might as well say, hey, I'm a great programmer since I COULD make a good program if I had the time for it.

REAL spriting? well geve a couple of examples.

look here for support of what I said

That was where I learned how to do spriting.

Finally I'm not saying I'm a great programmer.

[Raijinili]

You missed the points.

[Rikane]

I've tried to put together sprite sheets multiple times, all ending in failure usually by the 4th or 5th frame... I'd appreciate any help or tips.

P.S. When I say failure, I mean that my frames aren't in line, I don't know how to do that part well

Thanks again.

I do some spriting form scratch, basically, I draw out my ideas on paper, and try to create into a sprite.
My avatar, wihch is a sprite of the incredibly -good looking me, was created by myself on my own.
and Dr. Sturm is right. you're always right.
