easy way to make animations?hello would like to know how I could make animations, such as the sea, a sea of animation as the curse of monkey island.z

You could find a video of the sea (real or cartoon), then draw over each frame in your art software. Google "rotoscoping".

I'm interested to see how far along you are with your Monkey Island game?

could you not say that I'm so far ahead, I'm doing the story, I'm looking at what it will cost more as the animation, programming but in reality I'm just starting

If I read you correctly and you want to have animated water (probably a large area), using a couple of backgrounds with slightly different frames is the best way to do that. In AGS you can have up to five room backgrounds, just draw different waves in each of the five frames and you'll get quite good results.

Not a good approach, particularly if you then find that 5 frames isn't enough. A large animated object gives you more flexibility.

Come on, why angry? A background ocean sounds like a perfect use for an animated background. Objects would require extra work so that they don't catch mouse-clicks.

If this *is* what randypanda wants. I agree that for a finer grade of animation/more diverse types of animations objects are better.

through this program is the need for the sea, but I can do for other types of animation: characters, animated objects
