Graal Previewer
 

Features:
-Multi + Singledirection ganis
-Drag + drop a head/body/sword/shield/gani onto the frame and it'll update.
-Hit save in your image editing program and it'll automatically update in the animation viewer.
-Shields are properly scaled + placed on the character. (Be careful which ganis you use, the iPhone versions place the shield in the character's left hand when facing down, which can affect the results, as the PC version normally places the shield in the right hand when facing down. The program starts with the iPhone idle animation by default.)
-Hats.

This program is mostly to facilitate artists making heads + bodies that want to be able to preview their results in realtime without the hassle of starting up the editor or something stupid like that

It's attached.

EDIT: Attached source.

this would be so usefull, but if u want the avatar on the side to be walking, while previewing, u have to do that to all the different angles :)

Lies.

oh ya, i didnt read the 'its attached' part

oops. I didn't attach it. Hold on, I'll add support for multi-directional viewing as Kiko suggested real quick and then reupload it.

Added and fixed link.

Nice work.

Thanks, mate. Added the source code to the OP.

Will it run on a Mac?

Unfortunately not. I might be able to make a platform-agnostic version using Mono, but right now it uses p/invoke functions from SFML.NET to render everything. I think I can move it over to Mono-compliant stuff fairly easily, though, so I'll try and do that when I get a chance.

tl;dr, not in it's current state, but I can probably modify it to run on Mono for a Mac with minimal effort.

You shouldn't use Macs, anyways.

Would you be able to add support for custom sprites? Maybe a predefined list of custom sprites (GK, G2K1, etc.). I'd love it for use with my own sprites that have been brought into daylight once again.

You can use any gani you'd like. You just have to drop the images into the images folder and it'll load them up. Do you mean stuff like setting attributes of the gani or updating non-head/body/whatever images in realtime in a similar manner?

sweet

Ideally support for setting attributes. Our character ganis uses attributes 1-10 to account for head, torso, arms, legs, hair, hat, belt, boots, cloak and pauldrons. If somehow your program could account for that, it'd be quite amazing, but I guess it steps more into the turf of a gani editor.

They look pretty.
