Animation is hard. It took me a while to get my body sprites right. I have desided to use a 3d program from now on for my servers body, I sugest you guys try it.

The program is called gmax, It is by the creators of 3d studio max, it is free (forever) and supports a file type used in graal 3d. I have not even gotten through the first tutorial for it so take note it may take you a while to learn to use it, but it is worthwhile.
