Animating object

Hey guys
When you develop an app that has some object being animated. Let’s say guy walking or fishing swimming . Do you go ahead and search the Web for GIF images then break it into frames then load the frames as animation set? Or do you draw your own frames? Or am I missing the point entirely

I have a tool app and would like to include some visual improvement :slight_smile:
Advice appreciated
Thanks

you can’t just search for gif. You have to have copyrights for it or find free for commercial use. However it seems like you are talking about sprites. There are some tools to create spritesheet and you can animate it in code.

That’s it. That’s the key word I was looking for sprites. Thank you very much.
Any recommendations for such tools? Or just ask someone on fiverr to do it?

You have to create initial graphics (inkscape for example) then animate it either by drawing frames in inkscape or using some sprite animator tools (I used 2nd option but dont remember the name of it now), then use texture packer to create spritesheet. It has free trial, then you’ll have to buy it.
