So as I said, I'm a big fan of modular corruptor. modularity means shortly that you switch the elements and reuse the previously made elements. In this case, we're going to switch the drawings a bit, create new type of sprites, and reuse the animation we created before, and spent a lot of time and create a totally different character. Now, I saved my SVG file as Dark Knight, because I got to recolor it, I saved it. So all the names I gave to the groups are the same. So what I do is, I can recover it very fast.
I could redraw it, give him totally new look, but no just gonna recover it. I'm holding Ctrl and Shift and I'm Clicking on all the elements which have has this bright blue color so I'm holding CTRL to select them even if they are in a group and I'm holding Shift to add them to the selection. Just hold these two keys together. And I can see it here on the bottom at the color that they are the same color and now I make it a light gray. Okay and now I go for the darker part unselect everything which was darker. This this and this and the color it darker gray.
Perfect. I think this was the same to the joint under you And now I have the other blue which is in the background for the back arm and other elements and that will be even darker. I have nothing blue left, except a few recharge as the shrines I delete those I don't need those. All right. I'll leave the highlights of this bluish white and this one, and the outlines gonna be black. This one I'm just selecting the elements we The outline right I check it the outline here on the bottom, all of them is the same.
Now I make them black by shift click. Now this is was this was my original one, this is the darker version and maybe gray I could even give some more darkness on the dark part. But it is fine as it is the cape and the feather. I gonna make nice red and the darker red for the cape bottom. Okay, and now what I'm missing is just the sword. This one is an outline.
So a shift click with the color picker. And this one the handle the promo and the cross item. know if it'll be also black. Let's make it visible. These blue I make it a lighter gray. And this thing this can be this and this can be the darker one.
Yes, even better it looks balanced. So now I just select all of them. Let's check. Yeah, the names are the same. I select all of them batch export. So I click on this again export and it was exporting all the elements.
Nice. Now I go to dragon bones and let's see what it does. Import assets. All of them are already covered nicely. I select everything I need. I'm not importing the Vincent has the van we want to use the blow because that's why it anyway I import the assets with a bit broken English it's asking if I want to overwrite these images.
Yes, I want to overwrite it that ah just rotate it to place. Okay, let's see how it looks in the in the walking animation. Looks proper turn back is nice. Let's see the idle perfect. So I just changed the color and I just reset the sword in place and That's it. If I would like to redraw something, make it point to a darker whatever I could.
What I also love is that it kept the mesh. I didn't have to redraw and remake the mesh for the cape top. Why? Because a mesh is also just a slot, you see it here, and there is the image in it. And that is great. So this image is already converted to a mesh, but because it's in the slot, it kept it keeps it and that is good for us because I don't have to animate just imagine that was the hardest part two animating the whole show to rotate nicely the bones in the cape and, and the feather.
I don't want to re animate that for sure. But it works like this. So create modular characters and reuse them. I could totally rebuild this character and redraw. And I challenge you to do that. After you finish the animation, redraw it into an orc just throw the elements have Green hands and green head, different weapon and that's it switch to images into your walk animation or a flash animation and there you go, you have a different corruptor play with it, have fun with it and create a modular Carter it works because it's very, very effective.
