Half-assed Skill Cut-in Demo [Elsword - Lu- work in progress]
Well, I'm not spending more than an hour or so trying to get a good demo of why things need to be split up into different layers (because I'm way behind schedule, as you can probably tell from the progress on this thing), so... here is a half-assed demo of the skill cut-in I'm working on for the Elsword skill cut-in part of their art contest to show why you would keep certain layers separate from others (no demo on why you would keep certain layers merged, but that shouldn't be too difficult to figure out -- not to mention, whoever is working on animating the cut-in will just merge them anyway to make life easier)
First few seconds:: showing what layers are present (each addition placed on top of the previous)
Second part:: showing each layer animated individually
Last part:: All layers animated at the same time
Certain parts could have been merged into one layer -- eg:: the chest and face portions -- since they were moving the same, and I don't think I added an additional movement to the head that was different from the torso
