Hi,
I just tried to make my own sprite sheets for a simple game tutorial. The problem here is, that I am not able to turn my character inside an animation.

I took Ted with an "walk angry" animation that he walks to the left.
Now I want him to walk to the right with the same animation and also walk face to me and face away from me. Everything in 2D.

Can anyone link me some tutorials for this 2D behaviour I want to achive?

It would be very helpfull.

thx
Michael

Assuming you're using a generic walk cycle, and not an imported 3D motion (where direction and X,Y,Z position would matter) it's real simple.

From frame 1 -10 (or however many frames you want, but for the example I'll use 10), using 3D motion editor position Ted in the right direction and play the walk cycle. On Frame 11, using the 3D motion editor, position Ted in the direction you want, and play the walk cycle. Then on Frame 21, using the 3D motion editor turn Ted in the position you want, and play the walk cycle. Are you beginning to detect a pattern here?

Also, you're going to want the walk cycle to play in place, and not letting the character actually move position.

Wich program use you for you sprite making?
and
Which Gameengine use you ?

Hi,
I'm using Unity for making my game. I'm just a beginner.
I use all Tools from this Video ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mFxHQG-p7g

The problem is if I use the 3D Motion the Animation does not look very good because of the different positions in Y-Direction.

greetings

You should only be using the 3D motion editor to initially face the character in the appropriate direction. Then use the 2D walk cycle to do the actual animation, again doing it in place (i.e. walk in place, run in place...)
