Importing from art programs

bainehollman

HI, need confirmation on weather or not i can import a character i created on photoshop into the game im making. Or if theres a different way of making this happen. Please help. On 5 day trial and need to know if this is a viable way to make and publish a great idea for a game. Thank you all!!

@bainehollman, sure you can.

The background of the image should be transparent.
The pixel height and width of the image should ideally be in powers of 2 (32px, 64px, 128px, etc.) for best memory usage.

Use the "Save for Web" option and save as a PNG-24 with Transparency on.

Awesome!! thank you. One more thing...i created a little character messing round on daz3d. Can i use this guy in a game in gamesalad? Using different poses for motion graphics of course..thanx again i wont bug again with this. Unless im stuck.lol

@bainehollman, again sure, import the different animation frames of the different motions/poses and use the "Animate" behavior to play the sequences according to what the character is up to:

If characterState = "Idle" play the Idle animation
If characterState = "Walk" play the walk animation
ect.
