Hello, I want to create traditional raster animation.
I use Mangastudio (equivelant to Photoshop) to create frames.
I was thinking of testing the animation, how do I do that?
I was thinking of using animestudio to create animation.
Any tips or help how to create traditional animation for games, please help.
Note: When I say traditional animation I mean painting frame by frame.
By traditional, do you mean you're hand-painting/drawing the frames, scanning them into the computer?
Hats off to you if you can make anything worthwhile like that. That's an enormous amount of work.
Tom's suggestion to do a .gif is probably the most straight-forward choice. Alternatively, you can import frames with some film-editing software (like Final Cut, etc) and set the time-delay between frames to something low ( like .1s ). If your only intention for the moment is previewing the animation, the .gif-maker route would probably be the fastest unless if you have a professional-level film editing suite.
If you resolution is low enough, I highly recommend Aesprite. It's geared towards pixel art though.
