hello fellow GS'ers...3d animation into 2D

VolontaArts

hey everyone... well str8 to the point

I'm thinking of making 3d character animations to use for GS as 2d characters just for a more flexible look. i just had this thought today and though it was a good idea since i would like to learn 3d modeling.

is this possible to do with GS or with 3D modeling engines?

basically lets say i model a 3d character... and i want to take a front picture of him... then save as png... then turn him around for a rear picture... and save as png... and so on... just to get the different animations.

thanks for any input or knowledge on this

You could ask Mr @BBenk - he's done exactly that.

Yep I've done exactly that with my game "Steam Jack" if you watch the Video in the game thread below you will see my models turning around like 3-D. matter of fact pretty much everything in my game was made in Blender it's actually very easy to do in Gamesalad.

Yes Blender can export animation as .png images.
