Complete game - Setting the key poses [video]

Here we go... you asked for it... and even if it took some time to convince an old dog to learn new tricks... here is my 1st video tutorial.

Before going into animation it's helpful to create some key poses to give you an idea what the character is supposed to look like when we animate him later. For this game the important parts will be the run, jump, shot, get hit and die poses.

I had fun doing this and it won't be the last video tutorial for sure.

I hope you enjoyed it as well.

Hey Chris, thanks a lot for making this video. It really helped me to watch how you use Inkscape - I picked up a few tips I wasn't aware of, such as the use of pivot points with grouping which is easier to pick up in a video. Length was great, and content very easy to follow and helpful.
