So for my game, Drillminer, the digging machine can fly around.
I have 1 still sprite, but I have no idea how to make a semi-realistic spinning propeller.
Can anybody help make a flying animation?
-
Here's my try (it's animated slowly) is it something useful? :)

I'd just have 3-4 frames of a motionblurred propeller turning around. If I were good at it, I'd have sprited it for you, but I am not :/.
-
You could just draw a grey circle with a moving white line in it indeed (that's what you mean I guess).
-
I did.
^ waste of page space, like a boss.

Wow, that's really nice!
Just what I need :D

hmm, too late..
I'll post it anyways. I suddenly remebered a couple of minutes ago, but didn't see the post yet, so here it is

I like the animation, but it kinda looks like it's being cut off

Mhmm, do you render every single frame of the original gif?
-
if you're worried about it looking cut off, the version nick made might work better. the problem is that the other is an angular perspective, while the helicopter body is seen head on (well, side on).

That style might work better, although it kinda looks like it's just getting longer and shorter

That is essentially what it is, looking at rotating EXACLTY from the side.
-
Still looks kinda awkward, tho
-
You would need some thickness from the side to show it's actually rotationg and not getting longer and shorter.
-
Can you make the frequency of the propeller depend on the acceleration in the upward direction of the vehicle?
-
I can probably do that.
But I have to make the movement engine less crappy first :P

I must say Good Job! It looks nice, and that's the way I would have done it too. :)
Also epic7, sometimes it depends how you're lookiing at a gif to understand it. You must kinda try to make yourself believe that you're looking at a real propeller and not an animaton. :P
I think it looks like a turning propeller, but I can understand that if you look a certain way at it, it may look strange, but that's normal.
