Ah, you can always trust Wikipedia. “Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement…”

Well, it doesn’t have support for that currently, but I guess it could be done. The animation ui is written in C# using XNA, so it would need to be in a format I can play using that.

Nope, but I assume you can look up mine from the comments 😀

By rotoscoping, do you mean aligning it to the background movie, or dragging individual joints with IK?

Anders Elfgren: That definitely looks interesting. I especially like the onion skins and timing features. If you would throw in an option for rotoscoping – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT8NKAfWc-A – it would really kickass. You know my email?

Hi,
You might be interested in an animation editor for 2d characters I’ve been working on for the past couple of months or so, for your animations. I’m guessing you’ve made something similar yourself, but it’s always nice not to have to do everything in a game project.

A video from an earlier version can be seen here:

I’m about to open source it on codeplex.

If it seems interesting, throw me an email.

Have you added the lighting/Fog of war system yet? since the bots will have to work accordingly to that too right ? Haven't done that yet, will do it in the end. MM, thought about putting say 10 bots in the map and just letting them run loose (and record it!). They don't take into account more than one enemy still. I have to add that part of code.

I wonder how they all play together?
