The male spriteset with all the animations that are currently needed is finally completed now. Thanks to all the artists who contributed to this fine piece of art. The next big challenge will be the female spriteset.
 
When the players will gain additional posibilities like using spells or skills or when we will implement new ways of moving (like swimming or climbing) we will have to work on the spritesets again.

== Comments ==
* [[User:Bjørn|Bjørn]]: I've made the 6 frame versions by simply deleting all even frames in your animation. In my opinion it's still a fine animation and it's saving quite a bit of work. For the 4 frame version I have created a single neutral stand frame and used the two leg extremes, so it's actually only 3 different images.
 
* [[User:Neko-mon|Neko-mon]]: I made little fixes in the 12 frames image.


* [[User:moltheni|moltheni]]: Can I make some sprites too? If you tell me what is needed (and what others are doing) I can help!<br>p.s.: Aren't the eyes of the sidewalk sprites too much.. ehm... on the bottom (sorry for the english)?<br>and the shadow of the legs of the back-standing-pose-frame is inverted.

* [[User:Bear|Bear]]:If you want to do something in Graphics, contact Rotonen, OR you can ask me about a few things. It might not be my part to lead graphics, but it would be good to get some monsters done. *just a critic* :D
== Mechanics and Layering ==
The Player Sprite is a 3 Channel Dye which is why it looks so weird. The Channels are WRB (Greyscale, Red & Blue). This is to facilitate our the sprite [[Dev:Image_dyeing|Dye system]]. The Male and Female sprites share frame numbering and just about the same xmls for a wide variety of gear. The player sprite is also the Npc base for the humuniod Npcs. Between the Dye channels, clothing and layering equipment it makes something like millions of unique Npc combinations.  


* [[User:ElvenProgrammer|ElvenProgrammer]]: moltheni, you can contact me as well. Feel free to propose improvements to the spriteset by Talaroc, especially on side walking and sit pose.
== Improvements ==
* Death frames need a good animation
* Extra Dye Channels added to "texture" the base player
* Facial Expressions
* Body Modifications (Horns, Spikes, Wings, etc.)
* Large and small size of player sprite.


* [[User:VxD|VxD]]: I like the eyes (proportioned better with the head) of moltheni. (proposed the 26/07)

The Player Sprite is a 3 Channel Dye which is why it looks so weird. The Channels are WRB (Greyscale, Red & Blue). This is to facilitate our the sprite Dye system. The Male and Female sprites share frame numbering and just about the same xmls for a wide variety of gear. The player sprite is also the Npc base for the humuniod Npcs. Between the Dye channels, clothing and layering equipment it makes something like millions of unique Npc combinations.

Improvements

  • Death frames need a good animation
  • Extra Dye Channels added to "texture" the base player
  • Facial Expressions
  • Body Modifications (Horns, Spikes, Wings, etc.)
  • Large and small size of player sprite.
