Title: Ghost Of Sparta!
Post by: Shady on December 27, 2009, 12:35:39 am
I just found out about M.U.G.E.N lately,and I was very interested in making a char.
Since this is going to be my first character I decided it should be someone very special.

So,I am currently working on Kratos (needless to say which game he's from),
but since this is my first character,it's gonna take some time.
The character's going to be really small,cause those were the only sprites I could find.

I wasn't intending to post a WIP,but I thought that it might be useful to leech some ideas from you guys ;)
So if you have any ideas,anything to help with,it's WELCOMED!


What I'm doing right now:
- Getting the sprites DONE [Finished on 26-12-2009]
- Fixing some sprites DONE [Finished on 26-12-2009]
- Adjusting the alignment.

could you put a sprite example or something?

btw, there's already a Kratos coming soon to mugen (SF3 edited sprites)
but a chibi-small version could be cool too

Yes I know that there is a Kratos coming to M.U.G.E.N,but that's three month from now,so it's not that soon.
and yes he is chibi,due to the only sprites out there for him.

could you put a sprite example or something?

about this part,it's actually kind of embarrassing to say this,but I don't know how to make a flash sprite   :-[
Seeing that you have one in your avatar,can you tell me how to do it?

Thanks in advance!

prepare your image in png format, go to imagehost.org, upload your image, grab the direct link url and place it here.
You can use [img] tags around the url that links to a image to show that image.

no,you didn't get what I meant,it's not that I don't know how to upload it or where.
I just don't know how to make a moving image like,I don't know how to show a motion in a sprite  :-[
could anyone please help tell me how to do it so I can post some pictures?

lol,even if you "steal" them(open source sprites),I bet that'd only mean that you really wanna work on this character.
But,anyway,check you inbox,I sent you the sprite sheet :)

okay,while you're at it,do you have any good beginners' tutorials for me?(on this subject of course)
Title: Re: Ghost Of Sparta!
Post by: SlenderMan on December 27, 2009, 09:00:22 pm
I can tell you youtube has some awesome tutorials that helped me out alot....look uo bovery23 tutorials....he explains everything well enough....type in bovery23 tutorials...

this is important....first all sprites of course have to be separated from the sprite sheet...that's why I said it's gonna take me a while...other than that...animations have do be done with perfect(no less than perfect) alignment so the character looks smooth with his movements....look up bovery23...if you run into BC on this forum...BC is bovery23...he made the tutorials...if you have questions about coding,spritework, or therwise...try talking to Cybaster, Stormex,Cyanide,Rajaa,or another of the mugen vets here on mugen guild....they have useful suggestions...and if you actually want their help they'll give feedback once you release this character on bugs,alignment issues or whatever you need to fix...you can talk to me too but I don't know as much as they do..

need work in the alignment, pick a central point maybe his torso, or hip as the center, then work from there, it doesn't have to follow the allignment 100% totally since while running, human body is also not in a constant velocity, so there is an extra push when the leg kicked the soil, and then it stalled a little and then more push again when the other leg kicks the ground again and so on, looked more realistic that way (in my opinion, rather than follow faithfully to the alignment and make it looks like a locomotive than a human running)
while in the coding it has certain constant velocity, animation wise it can be tricked to give more realistic effect by waving the position of the sprite a little bit to the right and left.

Is there a tutorial for that helps your prepare your sprites for the perfect alignment(starting from cutting them from the sprite sheets) and the doing the perfect alignment???

Post by: SlenderMan on December 31, 2009, 05:17:37 pm
just look at how he moves...if the sprites look jittery then just move to find where he looks...wll...not jittery
