Animated Bodies

Rufus · #1 07-10-2009, 05:10 PM

Has anyone got experience in animating Graal bodies? I've made a body that rotates colors, but it is only changing the color once the player moves rather than changing it constantly. I have no idea what the problem could be, and I've seen bodies that animate fine around UN.

Any ideas?

I think it's about the gani. Everytime the gani does a animation it reloads the image. Maybe it depends on how the movement system works?

You can use a GIF Program...

I've noticed something like this on a body with an animated cape, the cape only shows that it's moved after you walk

Hm maybe THATS why graal uses mng files...
Maybe you could try saving it as an mng? One of the adobe programs can use that file type but I can't remember which one.... otherwise I'm stumped on what to use.

I've tried both gif and mng (saving via Animation Shop and gif2mng) to no avail

Yeah, it does have to do with the gani. I bet if you had a custom movement system you could get it to change colors while idling.

Not entirely, like I said in my original post I've seen bodies that animate in the way I'm trying to achieve around UN. Apparently the people who made these graphics don't play anymore however.
