8/19/2017 - RTP01-Harold - Released
8/24/2017 - RTP24-Marsha - Released
8/26/2017 - RTP09 - Animating...

Hi, I'm Arcanus. I'm new to the forum but I'm familiar with RPG Maker Series for years now. I want to share my talent to the community by sharing my own drawn RTP Battlers as an alternate use. (If you're tired of seeing of Sprite Battlers). I'm planning to make the whole RTP Hero Characters so far I only have 1 finished which is Harold. But as time goes by I will produce more and more battlers for you guys to use.

Why Skeletal Animation instead of Sprites you say?
Skeletal Animation gives you smaller sizes of files per battler and gives you more room to animate the frames, and it is also very smooth in animation.

Before you use this, make sure you are familiar to Dragonbones. You can read more about it here: http://yanfly.moe/2017/08/04/yep-150-dragonbones-integration-rpg-maker-mv-2/

Download Files consists of the ske.json, tex.json and tex.png which needs to be in dragonbones_assets folder to work and together with an HTML Preview File with Real and Higher Quality Animations, and a text file that lists the credits and terms of usage.
You can also animate your own movements for your own customization needs (Advance Users) But each time I release a battler It will consist of the basic movements and poses such as Attacking, Defending, Idle Pose, Using Item, Victory Pose, Weak, Sleep, Dead, etc.

If you're ready and knowledgeable then proceed below.

RTP Battlers
Note: Preview GIFs are not the real quality of the battler as you know GIF tends to limit the color display in the animation. For best view download file and open in Dragonbones.

Final Note:
Battlers released will be random and not in Ascending Order, I might ask sometimes If who you want to see next or I'll choose in my likings and mood. I plan on releasing one weekly (Every Monday) but forgive me if I fail to post in weekly terms as I might be busy sometimes and drawing and animating it is really time consuming. If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions feel free to post in this thread.

Enjoy!

Continuing with my goals of making Animated RTP Battlers, I've drawn the Actor3_8/Marsha
Default Sideview Battler:

My Version for Dragonbones:

I was wondering what's the name of the other battlers. (aside from HTML names of the Default Party Members, have they been named?)
Anyway time to animate her in Dragonbones...

 

[Nutty171]

Yeah, mt too. All I know are Harold, Therese, Marsha, and Lucius.

These look really good, by the way! Can't wait for more!

 

[Isabella Ava]

Thanks @Arcanus, by reading your post in another topic i could imported my DragonBone character into RPG MV

 

[Arcanus]

I've got 4 new animations/3 Poses for Marsha.

Idle:

Run:

Victory/VictoryLoop:

btw, You're welcome @Isabella Ava

 

[SeaPhoenix]

These are cute! I think Marsha's victory loop is awesome.

 

[Arcanus]

@SeaPhoenix Yeah, the Victory Starts first then proceeding to the loop

Another Update:
Attack:

Defend:

Cast/Casting/CastComplete:

I'm missing Damage, Dead, Weak, Item and Sleep Animations and She's good to go!

 

[The Working Man]

Wow! The one where she rides the broomstick is great!

 

[Isabella Ava]

can you work with enemies first?

 

[Alastor01]

They look great and lively!
Do weapons have to be part of each animation? Or you can attach them just like the engine does for sprites?

 

[Arcanus]

RTP24-Marsha is now complete, You can download the file below or in the OP

Thanks! It's not a broomstick tho hahaha It's just a wand

can you work with enemies first?

I'm planning on making my own sets of enemies. but I'm focusing on doing some RTP Heroes first before anything else.

They look great and lively!

Yes they have to be, its part of the dragonbones sequence.

 

[bis1994]

Wow!! These dragonbone animations looks like magic to me... Very nince!! Keep It Up!!!

 

[Arcanus]

Decided to make Actor2_1 (RTP09)

Do you think he is a spear type warrior?
I'm trying to stick with one weapon for each actors (which most will find limiting) but seriously making more than 1 weapon for an armature is A LOT OF WORK and i mean A LOT from animating them each poses holding different weapon is a pain in the ass.

Anyway, once I am able to pull off atleast 4 Battlers with complete poses. I'll make a demo download for you guys to see the default sequence of the animations. I still need more motivation from you guys to keep me at least interested in continuing this RTP Project

 

[Alastor01]

That's some badass spear !
I believe this is ****loads of work... This is very close to 3D animation I guess in terms of difficulty.
Thank you for your effort!

I wonder if Yanfly can add "attachment" ability to this plugin. So you can add another image to your animation texture and parent to a bone of the skeleton at runtime?
Same way you would attach a gun to a human in 3D?
Btw he never mentioned this drawback in DragonBones vs Animated SV. That you can't change weapons.

 

[Isabella Ava]

@Isabella Ava [mod]Please do not hi-jack someone's thread with a query of your own.[/mod]
You have your query in its own thread, that is where it should stay, rather than asking someone directly to answer you.

 

[Kikeluzi]

A W E S O M E ! ! !

 

[bhindi1224]

I don't know how I missed this thread. These are awesome.

Edit: I wanted to say I know just how much work goes into these. Thanks again.

I know I'm late, but does this answer your question?
