      Thanks! I have recorded most of the animation part as well as some more assets in that style but due to health issues, lack of time, and all those other excuses, I haven't yet finished those videos... but they are still on the list and getting closer to the top :)

      I try my best... It's sometimes out of my control as the progressive neural muscular disease I was born with shows its nasty progressive nature. It takes a while for me to adjust to the new levels of pain, the loss of energy, or motor function. It's a painful fight - but there is way too much fun to be had to give up ;)

      The follow up video is in the pipeline - 1/2 done... but the changes at Unity made me remove the development platform from my machine and I haven't had enough time to practice the character setup and animation in Godot. I might go back to Spine for the skeletal animation.

      You select the shirt shape, make it a clip group and place the content inside that clip group.

    Thank you for the tutorial! I always look forward to each new tutorial you post and find them quite useful
    Would it be okay to use some of these tutorials for parts of Vectober/Inktober (following along with the tutorial and posting my result on Twitter)? I want to use Vectober/Inktober as a way to draw more to get used to Affinity Designer so I think following along to tutorials (at least at the beginning) would be a good way to start

    Hello, how can we convert the drawn characters into sprites? Like run, walk.

    • @2dgameartguru
      @2dgameartguru  2 роки тому +3

      Export to PNG. I would suggest exporting the parts and using a skeleton based animation tool [like spine, spriter, or dragon bones]. It's going to be covered in the next video ;)

    Hey... Looks far better approach than the other videos which all seem to do frame duping in inkscape to produce sprite sheets. For anyone wondering about the animation approach in the meantime, I found this video (ua-cam.com/video/vLDK0eHwsho/v-deo.html) on doing it with unity, though I'm a bit unclear from that why you split it, as unity seems to rejoin it all again when you add the bones (but maybe you don't need the bones if it's reasonably straightforward?). But I'll have a go with it, see if I can figure it out. You have a great style and unique efficient approach. All the best 😊

    • @2dgameartguru
      @2dgameartguru  Рік тому +1

    What colors do you use for background canvas?

    • @2dgameartguru
      @2dgameartguru  2 роки тому +1

      I set the page and the desk colour to 15% L to keep the focus on the art rather than have a very bright white background.
