How do I create Characters...

Post by Woodsy267 »

Hey,
Could someone please tell me a free way to create characters for AS on a mac. I tried scanning in my own image but it seems to make the whole picture curve and the whole thing seems to fuse together and not move the way I tell it to.
Any help at all would be great because I just want to llearn how to make my own characters in AS

Have a look at the Bones tutorials in the Help manual, particularly tut 3.4, which shows how to use bones so that they only affect the area that you want them to affect.
If your scan is OK as a Bitmap, then you can cut it up in PSP or Photoshop or similar. there are bound to be loads of free bitmaps and vector images on the web anyway. Google it!
