Alien units
putting the art together



I think this is correct, but needs confirming.

1. Start with appropriate arm (the one that is hidden - depends on unit facing)
Increase canvas to 32x40 (should only extend image height)

2. Use first (top left) pixel as origin.
Superimpose weapon if weapon is to be hidden by body.
Superimpose legs.

3. Superimpose head.

NEWS FLASH:
For walking frames, Head *AND* Arms *AND* Weapon *ALL* bob up and down.
The whole deally will be 0,1,2,1,0,1,2,1 pixels too high and should be adjusted down.
Each component should be adjusted down individually on superimpose.

3. Superimpose weapon if not already done.
Superimpose other arm.


Needs finalizing.
Weapon has offset (for Sectiod, direction 2 is 5 pixels down)

Weapon is hidden by body on directions:
0, 6, 7

Left arm is hidden on directions:
0, 1, 2

For shooting, weapon facing should be +2 from holding (but only on heavy weapons: pistols use same facing).
Pistols use shooting arm when holding.
Arm not holding a weapon uses unarmed arm.




PCK arrangement:
Left arms (still)
Right arms (still)
Legs (still)
UNKNOWN - dot
Heads/bodies

Walking, in each direction, unarmed:
Left arms (frame 1-8)
Right arms (frame 1-8)
Legs (frame 1-8)
Repeat for each direction.

Right arm shooting.
Left arms (holding weapon)
Right arms (holding weapon)
NOT SURE (presumably left arm shooting)

Dying frames.
