Been having some fun with CSS sprites lately.
Here is on I did based on a doodle: spinning head.
It’s fun coming up with the offset to make the animation work!
The other day, I also played with the glitch developer api to make this goofy thing based off the example code: glitch demo.
If you put in ur player code, you can see ur guy pop in there!
Ok… I actually wrote this a while ago, but after seeing fambros’APC… I realized I needed to incorporate it into the blender UI.
Check it out:
Just drop animatron.py into ${HOME}/.blender/scripts
Then you can open a “Script Window” and select it from Scripts -> Render -> Animatron.
Here are some sample from a project I’m working on now:
Of course this is just 1 direction, the point of the script is to provide 360 carved into a # of directions.
Anyhoo… my python is getting a little less ridiculous.
I think this should be true isometric now… based on stuff from wikipedia and stuff
Here is an initial demo. There are some minor cropping issues in a few actions / directions.
As I started to use the script to render tiles, I realized something was not quite right. The tops aren’t squished properly! I compared the results to Tom Gersic’s efforts and the error is obvious:
So what was the dealio? It has to do with the nutty way spherical coordinates are defined: azimuth v/s inclination. Basically, I needed to subtract theta from 90 degrees. If you think about it, people using 45 degrees don’t have to deal with the issue, since 90 – 45 = 45, but since I used the kooky 35.264 (???) I was off quite a bit. Anyway… it is fixed now. But… I have to re-render all the character animations… 😦
Honey Baked Goodness!
