File:DynoRunShadowPanda (animated).png

Summary

An animated PNG file of a Toon running in place. This 16-frame animation was reconstructed using the Toontown Rewritten phase files, Panda3D 1.8.1, Python 2.7.3, Notepad, MS Paint, Photoshop CS3, and various online tutorials and resources. Models and animations used were extracted from the Toontown Rewritten phase files as of May 3, 2015. Source image was taken between September 30, 2017, 3:23:19 PM and September 30, 2017, 10:17:30 PM.

The x scale and y scale of drop_shadow.bam is set to 0.5 the model size so the object looks like it does in-game. The actor animation play rate was set to 0.001 speed to make it easier to create images. Shadow reparented to actor's "joint_shadow", making things easier than I once thought. The background was also set to super bright green, because green was easier for me to edit out than grey was. Using the Placer Panel, Relative Y = 15.00, Relative H = 180.00.
