[mikeroppo]

thx

[MechaHood]

how do i make them hd?, my backgrounds look funny after i render in pivot

[ianh97]

@MechaHood Pivot is good practice, but if you want to make professional sprite animations, and you've already got the hang of it, you can switch to making them in Adobe Flash. A lot more features and things to do there.

[gaara725sand]

I need some sprite to finish my sprite!!!

[pivotpro53]

ok 1st i need a sprite Shit

[ianh97]

@pivotpro53 Mmmmm soda....

[AceS4289]

So the images HAVE to be .bmp?

[ianh97]

@AceS4289 Pretty much all Pivot supports is .bmp

You can convert your images to .bmp easily, though.

[AceS4289]

@ianh97 Aw dang. I have so many images already cut from sprite sheets and now I gotta convert I'd say over 100 pictures xD Thanks for the help though.

[ianh97]

@AceS4289 You can convert more than one at a time with some programs. There are also online image converters, just don't know if they handle more than one.

[AceS4289]

@ianh97 Do you know any of the converters that can handle multiple files? Sorry for bugging you about this, I just thought I'd ask.

[ianh97]

@AceS4289 Okay I tried out a few image converters for you. One put a huge advertisement on my picture (rofl image that in a sprite animation.)

So I found Pixillion Image Converter on Softsonic which did the trick perfectly. Converted a folder of .png mixed with .jpg to .bmp without screwing up my pictures. I'd recommend that one.

[Lyexarn]

do you have a different of guns and muzzle flash?

[MrSouf36]

justin beiber is gay.

[amyroselover]

[ianh97]

@amyroselover Did you rename it from something(dot)jpg/png etc to something(dot)gif? If so it has to be converted to a gif or bmp. D:

[amyroselover]

thanks i didnt know i had to type.gif into the bar to get it, THANKS :D

[makingvideos100]

this is not what im looking for.......im looking for how to load back my already created pivotes i made~ i press open animation (btw this is for pivot 3) and it doesnt show my gif folders i made it only shows in sprites and in sprites its just a picture of my first seen and not the preview

[thenonameguy1]

when i want load one of the sprites ther are no results

[animedude511]

dude thx so friggen much!

[ginohardcore]

i think its a bug or somthing that when i save a sprite on pivot 3 and close the program and re open it the sprites are not there or is it sopose to be like that

[TheDjpilk]

instead of copying/pasting you could've just cropped it!

[UltimateSilverx3]

This is for PIVOT 3 BETA ONLY IN HIS DESCRIPTION NOT OTHER PIVOTES LIKE FULL VERSION DONT SUPPORT SPRITE SHEETS ty :] it helped

[theaw18]

do you have to use paint cause I don't have it. Can you use microsoft word or something like that instead, or can you use ms paint.

[hydralicninja56]

@theaw18 ms paint is paint

[tinkred9]

UMM....i dont have BMP just GIFF and jpeg

[ianh97]

@tinkred9 Try saving it as gif then.

[3daysAnd2nights]

this doesnt work for pivot 3.0, it won't lt me insert sprites, only stick files

[ianh97]

@3daysAnd2nights You have a different version then I guess. You can download the Pivot version that supports sprites in the video description.

[InspectorBONK]

When I add a sprite, his eyes seem to be hollow or something, and will take on any colour of the backround, please help!

[ianh97]

@InspectorBONK It is because white is used as transparency. Try coloring the gloves a very light shade of gray with the paint bucket tool.

[xxxmetalgamerxxx]

do you do the same thing with backgrounds to? if not can you make a tutorial?

[ianh97]

@xxxmetalgamerxxx What do you mean? Do what with backgrounds?

[Wolfy753]

How do you open paint and what is it called?

[ianh97]

@Wolfy753 Are you on a mac? I'm not sure mac's have microsoft paint. Do you have any picture editing program on your computer? If you can you can, I recommend downloading a program called paint[dot]net .

It is free and doesn't have any viruses or spyware.

[Wolfy753]

@ianh97 THanks but i figures out how to not long after I posted the comment. and you should enter my contest. i need more entries and you look like a good pivotor.

[singerrock1]

[ianh97]

[Titans426]

hey can you send me a link for the pivot download you have please

[Titans426]

how come i put my sprites on pivit like mario and stuff and you can see right thru the white of his gloves and eyes?

[ianh97]

Hmm.

That is kinda weird...

Make sure paint isn't n transparent mode.

And if that doesn't work try making his eyes blue and his gloves grey.
