This is a simple tool I made to help with animating. I used a reference image of a character running so I could begin animating my own run cycle. TABLE OF CONTENTS: Controls Changing the reference Animating with this Rules Side Note CONTROLS: Space to change frames Q to run W to stop A to hide the ref S to show the ref CHANGING THE REFERENCE: To change the ref, just delete all the frames, import a gif as costumes, make sure it's in the right order, and change the variables so it will use all the frames. ANIMATING WITH THIS: What I found easiest is to use different colors for different parts in case I need to delete something. There's already a base you can use here if you want, or you can make one yourself to practice. After you make (or use) the base, outline it, delete the extra framework, then color it in and add details! RULES: Please don't use this without my credit, don't recolor the gif, and have lots of fun with this! If you need me to further explain anything I can. SIDE NOTE: I may or may not use this for my big surprise, but we'll just see. If you want you can add music to it so you have something to listen to while you work :)
The reference is Shenzi from The Lion King. I don't own this gif; I found it on Google.
