I could make a game with quick cartoon style animation, especially since ANY drawing I do is going to look all wiggly and cruddy.

Hey, you guys can collaberate on sprites for "Oh, Diana!" or whatever it's called -- |

Ok. I finally got up the courage to do one. http://www.ericswebsite.com/allegroiscool.gif "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

I keep starting, doing like 3 frames, and then giving up.

Yeah. The above was my first try. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

If it's stickmen you want, check out Also I read somewhere an article about a gui using wiggly 'hand-drawn' lines.. Finally for UK folks there's always Roobarb and Custard Pete

Everybody has seen them. They aren't new. Now if only somebody could make that in C/C++, as a reusable engine...mm...possibilities. |

This actually happened to me, three weeks ago. [EDIT] Beware: if you click 'New Animation' (which I tend to do by mistake instead of clicking 'New Frame'), it will lose your work - even if you cancel the dimensions dialogue. This happened when I first tried the program out, and I lost the whole animation. It happened twice today, but this time I was saving frequently; I lost nothing the first time, and I lost one frame the second time. It could have been worse. Oh, and I highly recommend animation if you want to practise getting proportions and perspective right. It forces you to see the errors and fix them. -- |

Nice animation but: Quote: The animation seems to have taken me four hours and 35 minutes

I believe there is a copy button in there, so, why did it take so long? Just copy the background, paste it each time, and draw the character a bit different. Repeat. (That itself would take at least an hour..) |

Pfffffft. James, you keep giving up. Kanzure, your animation doesn't exactly demonstrate any real artistic ability (not to say you couldn't draw well if you put more time - like, four hours or more - into it!). And if the program did layers, I would have been quicker. -- |

Well then Kanzure, I guess you aren't qualified to comment on the amount of time I took, are you. -- |

I have never re-compiled a linux kernel, but I know it does not take 32 hours. Because I haven't, I'm not allowed to make an educated guess? What a cruel world. |

Its not an educated guess if you have no data/experience to back it up with. It might qualify to be a guestimate, maybe. -- |

You can hardly compare art to a technical process that can be timed. Marcello |

I didn't say your animation was bad, or that it took too long, just that I'm amazed you had the patience to finish it. 10 minutes and I'm like: "AAhh!". 20 and I'm like: "Ggrg arrgg feeuuggrr! fuu! grrrr". 4 1/2 hours and all my hair would be torn out and I would be frothing at the mouth...

I dunno -- when I've played around with art programs and it's been going decently (read: using wings3d), I can spend many hours modelling and I won't even notice the time go by. If one is making some progress the whole time, instead of getting something that one likes less with every addition, it can be quite absorbing. Much like coding -- who hasn't done a spree of at least 4.5 hours coding and enjoyed it?
