Bump please

Thanks for the advice, rep for both of you (don't really know how to give rep).

But why would I make a 2D animation in a 3D program like Blender? I've gone through the Interface and Navigation, Modeling and then Animation tutorials so far, I don't see how I can make a 2D animation.

I finished all the beginner tutorials now. I still don't see how I can render a figure running in 2D, let alone 3D...

Thanks for the great reply. I'll look at some other programs and turorials, but what exactly mean by not doing it frame by frame? Do you mean that I shouldn't be just rotating a leg or hand to animate it?

Also what do you mean by pre-rendering the animations? How can I pre-render a stick man?

Meanwhile I'll download Blender and watch some tutorials.

Is it good for beginners/kids? Because I'm a kid for Christ's sake.

Just tried it. Nope.

This is a program aimed at beginners. Why have they not mentioned anywhere an easy way to make animations? Spriter doesn't work because the image ends up being invisible and why isn't there a button to centre the image into the middle?

Ok and I know I'm being a bit lazy here (not really because I've spent hours trying to animate my stick man and it looks like crap), but can someone please animate the sprite? I have all the body parts separated into a folder, and I converted them all into PNGs if that makes it better.

Here is the .zip file containing the body parts if anyone's interested: (I can't post links on text.)

Also, Spriter for me is really frustrating. When I export something into a PNG, it's all normal, but when I put it on Construct 2 it's just invisible, even though I set it to visible. And when you adjust the size of a body part on Spriter, the resolution of it turns unbelievably low.

I'm using Spriter and it's still so hard to make anything good. Walk cycles are useless because you have to remove the background with Paint.net, then you put them on Construct 2 and every time I turn left the player teleports like two metres.

Animating a character is quite hard task for someone who never done this before.

Erm... that program is really old and when I click the link it says it's not available.

But I'll try Spriter since you can customize the animations.

Thanks I'll try that soon.

"The resource cannot be found" for Spriter

There aren't any tutorials which actually help with how you're supposed to edit the legs and arms to make good animations efficiently. I have no idea how to move the legs and feet (from a basic stickman and definitely not an image)properly.

How do people know how to model the legs and arms?

Thanks. It turned out that it just fell, so I put a platform under and it was fixed.

But also, how do I enlarge the area on the layout that is actually shown on the browser when you play? It seems to be a quarter of the size.

Sorry another question... How can I rotate only part of the player sprite, without just cutting the rest out, then rotating, then drawing them back on again?

*sigh*

It's on Mediafire if that's ok.
