    Hello Maplemation,

    I am getting into Maple animations, because I recently got back into Maplestory and I felt like I should jump into an active community. I heard Maplemation was quite the active community back then, so I hope it is still thriving!

    Like I previously stated, I am getting into animations and I just began spriting my own character. Very difficult, but I am doing my best! I do not really know what else to say really. I am a college student looking to major in Business Administration and Management and I do photography on the side. I hope we could be really good friends!

    See you around!

    Heyoo, Welcome to the forum! Since you're interested in animating, what kind of animations would you like to do? Most users here typically use adobe flash to create sprite animation, but there's other options like fireworks and sony vegas for different kinds of animations.

    For beginner flash animations, you can check out Derek's (Spritefan2) animation tutorials
    Create your character here on maplestory,design (check out their discord too if you have any questions or concerns or just hit me up too)
    for some resources we bumped it down to 15 posts (don't worry about the 100 post thing, that's old) but there's a google drive for some resources too! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to hit one of the staff up :D !

    Hi there, welcome!

    Yeah, adding to what Noz said, you should figure out what types of animations you want to use. I think you should check out almost all of the pinned posts in the tutorials section, especially this one. Be sure to ask if you have any questions, too! Many people, staff and members alike, will be happy to help you.

    Welcome to Maplemation, I see the other 2 moderators beat me to it, but hey, better late than never. You should do the thing they said if you haven’t yet, and enjoy your stay!

    Hello Noz, I know I am late to replying to the message and you have done an amazing job introducing me to the world of animating. I will work my best to learn the basics of animating and hopefully be able to pick up tips and tricks on how to make a great animation!

    I will begin taking a look at all of these things you have given me (Although, I have already made a custom character already), thank you for showing me maplestory.design. I used to use BannedStory a lot, but I am glad someone was able to code a similar version for our benefits. I have taken the liberty of checking out the google drive for resources and it helped me out a ton!

    Hello Kim, thank you for giving me a warm welcome! I will definitely check out the tutorials and the specific link you have shown here!

    It is never too late to introduce yourself to anyone. Thank you for welcoming as well! I hope to see this community thrive and I hope to contribute as much as I can!
