RE: Possible to make 2d look 3d? - Apjjm - 10-17-2011
you can draw sprites and hence animations by simply making the sprite a particle in a particle system with 1 emitter that emits 1 particle of duration 1 frame per frame. You then just attach the ps to an entity or script area, swapping it out for different animations as and when required.

I have been able to set lights bound to monsters inactive (the cloaked man). Perhaps particle systems could work in the same way, thereby having a "walk", "standing still" and "attack" particle system swap possible. By creating a script area at each pathnode one should be able to switch between the walk and standing still animation. The attack animation though.. I don't know.

Can someone give me a tutorial on how to make an 2d animated monster similar to doom in HPL?
RE: Possible to make 2d look 3d? - Acies - 10-18-2011
It's never been done before

Well im not sure how to start this then...

I'd start out by researching how to create a sprite. Then I'd check what file type it would need to be to be supported by amnesia.

Which would be an dae file?

I've made a few animated Mario sprite which I was using when i was making Mario in amnesia and drawing the PS at the player - that project has been shelved whilst I work on katamari. I could certainly dig up the code for you, though there are some improvements and functionality I'd need to add/edit first to make it a complete system rather than a quick little prototype.

Thanks.
