You know how in most vertical shoot 'em ups, the ship can rotate if you move it around? My question is how in the world did the artist animate that little thing? here is an example:  ------------- http://kokocipher.com">

Are you wondering how he/she made it? It's called skill and reference. The artist either was so good, they could do this easily without reference, or they looked up a photo, or looked at a model or something :P Or what program the used to animate/program it? I'm confuzzled, and this isn't even my thread. -------------  |

Most animators just revolve around an axis to rotate items as single frames. No science but it does take skill. Practice.

Since you seem to know how to animate by your avatar. I'll assume it's getting it to move around and animate....Well, it might be the programmer not the artist.
Generally a Rotate function in conjunction with a Move function. Pretty easy if you know some programming basics. ------------- |
