heyas; oh that's killer, lee! that's my thatch hair? gee, looks a lot better than i remember! :) right, the sprite-making bit. yes, i've been bugging them at the cdn forums, there. well, what i figure so far is to turn the unused body parts invisible. Then shoot animation frames with the body part in question in the correct position. basically what i did was create a 16 frame animation, and imported the chichi sprite's 16 arm positions as backgrounds (one for each frame), and positioned my arm over it. then rendered the 'movie' to 16 numbered files, and i had that. but that's all i've gotten through so far. i have to figure out how to automate everything a bit more. look at my creature page on bloodsong.warped.com/creature/ and you'll see an outline of my plan..... well... sabrina ain't wearing pants in public in the picture where she's telling the norn to wear pants in public! :)
