Female musket unit preveiw

[GeneralMatt]

OK, here is a preview of a unit I am doing, a Female musket unit.

I had to quit my last project becasue of technical issues.


I have the default done, and am working on the rest.

I know it is not to good, but It is my first unit.

It is quite good
In SE, the Kilt seems to move too much, you might want to check that.

I know, I ried and tried to fix it, but just coulnd't get it, I will try again.

Thanks for the compliment.

Be systematic.

save every object seperately
save every layer seperately.
make a grid on paper to match the unit animation.
Track the relative positions of each object in your notes.

ie:
Frame1
amazon = x+12 y+6
musket = x+10 y+5
skirt = x+14 y+10
the measurements can be anything, inches, pixels, bumps from the arrow keys.
This will allow you to avoid the bounces and animation anomolies that plague lesser C&P objects.

Thanks Bjornlo, I will try to rember all that....

This time I did it without, here..

50% of the death sequence is done, but I was wondering if someone could explain how to make pedia icons?

 

[Supa]

Pedia icons are PCX files of size 128*128 and 32*32. 256 colors, make sure the last two ones are unused.

Or first two, if you're using Photoshop.

Thanks, I am using gimp.

I got this suggustion from another site, cut'n paste the pedia Icons, as I am doing the unit.
