Class 70

Today I decided I would make some more animations, I started off using Gamemakers sprite editor tools, but then quickly switched over to Photoshop. I switched over to PS because Gamemakers sprite editor tools aren't very advanced and only allow a certain degree of photo editing.


One of the biggest perks from doing the animations in Photoshop is the ability to move parts of the pictures rotation individually within layers. The only downfall to using Photoshop is the speed that I can make frames, in Gamemaker I just hit a button and it starts me on my next frame, and shows me a little preview. But in Photoshop each frame is a separate PSD. This can really slow the process of animating, for example I only managed to create two frames today. And to make a preview GIF of the frames I had to manually switch between the two pictures after lining them up. So this is the zombie death animation in its current state, it looks more like a vulgar dance move. But it is a work in progress and is only two frames long. Tomorrow I will definitely continue my work on this animation so it doesn't look like air thrusts anymore.
