Actually I don't have any experience with creating such myself, but as I'm not too bad with creating graphics, I want to learn it So, my question is: what is the best way to animate a sprite? I know how animated Sprites work in Gamestudio, not aiming for that... But I think I remember a post anywhere on the internet about CSS (or whatever) calculating extra Frames between the key frames, similiar as to Gamestudio. Do such programs exist? Probably for free?

Here is a list of software: https://www.toonboom.com/ http://spritetools.com/index.php/software/item/3-animator http://animata.kibu.hu/ http://dragonbone.codeplex.com/ http://anime.smithmicro.com/

Ive done this, worked pretty well ( with lighting and shaders ). greets Last edited by rayp; 08/11/13 14:56. Acknex umgibt uns...zwischen Dir, mir, dem Stein dort...
