Re: looking for help (whitebot brainbot)
ok the arm has been fixed in this one and the leg is bulked up and i through them together to see what it looks like but the placement isn't final as for shading maybe someone here is better at it and could help me with that so the white doesn't look 2d feel free to pm me with tips or your own edits of this again thanks for all the input *edit* ok did the transparency BladeCat4 suggested and i worked on making moving arms and legs like i find in other peoples mods... also i put the raptors pieces up for a comparison (thanks NaXx)

Now make the centre of the brain bubble helmet transparent, like glass.

Re: looking for help (whitebot brainbot)
lol i have never coded any of this i just looked at the files and read up a bit on it so i think will see what i can do so i'm in the same boat as you The Mind *edit* ok so here's a update i put my pics in the raptor and tried it out and here's what happened the arms and legs were in funny places which i expected and it moved right however the problem i ran into was that my transparent color was off probably from switching back and forth from photo shop to bitmap file format so its a bit of a set back but i learned a lot from that test and now i know more about what i need to do

Re: looking for help (whitebot brainbot)
Actually, I think someone did a Whitebot sprite sometime ago but no one used it. I have drawn a quick sketch of my impression towards the Whitebot. I know nothing about spriting so this is all I can do to help. You did bulked it up, but not enough. We mean BULK. Also, some places need a bit 3D. Like the shoulders are facing you laterally, not right at us by 90 degrees (see picture). In 2D, shouldn't be a uniform circle, but a flattened one. Though that may be too much to ask for. Also with some of my imagination towards its weapons. I think those are fingers, but what if they do transform into a weapon? http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5056/whitebotconcept.jpg

Re: looking for help (whitebot brainbot)
Good idea. The missiles would be one use though...

BladeCat4 mentioned missiles and if its done right that could be cool too again if you find yours please show me and nice drawing btw

Re: looking for help (whitebot brainbot)
I think a good backpack-y thing would be good... although they could be an additional (non-canon) thing.
Missile backpack anyone? XD

Re: looking for help (whitebot brainbot)
That old whitebot sprite is gone during the destruction of the attachment files. Yours is the only whitebot sprite around now, I guess.
