If one wants to capture each creature in all its glory (=all important frames), would one sheet even suffice? Unless, of course, you're going to make one sheet with all animations instead of images. Or create a monster.

I've actually started turning the apngs to gifs (because I found a software package for Linux that can do that and really wanted to test it :wilson_nerdy:) and arrange the frames I want to have as reffis, so I can create one png with my favourite frames for each creature. Could such files be of any help? :wilson_curious:

Edit: Do you have some Shinebug animations by any chance? :3

Well, I just mean the static critter sheet that I started this whole shindig with. I still have no idea how to combine two apngs without going in and combining them frame by frame.

Spoiler

Which I mean I suppose I COULD do...especially with photoshop...but there's just so many frames...

And for the Shinebugs? I already had them made. :3

ok so my brain has been really weird lately and had an actual shower thought that uh

if dupes are printed and not born, and belly buttons are specifically formed due to the birth process, does that mean dupes don't have belly buttons?

Cats and dogs or other animals are born the usual way and don't have belly buttons. 

Belly buttons are a man-made thing when you tie the umbilical cord to a knot...I don't know exactly why...I 've watched history channel and followers of pre-astronautic said ''maybe'':wilson_laugh:

But Dupes don't have umbilical cords...at least I don't think so.

So they wouldn't have to worry about having or lacking a belly button to begin with...I think.

There is research for artificial uteri going on (https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15112/figures/1), and they are making use of the umbilical cord. I mean, during embryonic stages, the organism doesn't have operational lungs, but you still gotta supply it with oxygen somehow. Making use of a structure that grows automatically to serve this very purpose is probably the easiest way to do so. (I've been thinking earlier that Gravitas was able to directly make clones with the pot after scanning the originals... but they only got their DNA, so they had to make traditional clones first.)

I think the dupes have belly buttons.

I googled a bit, and I think making use of the Timeline, copy 'n' pasting frames from one picture into the timeline of the other one and selecting the 'Paste over selection' option while doing so should do the trick (Video in the spoiler below). It's for gifs, but as long as we're talking frames and layers, this should work for animated pngs just as well, I think?

Photoshop doesn't support animated PNGs. 

So I would either have to convert them into GIFs (which I would rather not, because the whole reason why I was making them APNGs was to get around the insane quality loss that occurs with GIFs), or I dunno...find a way to convert it into a video, compile it that way, save it as an image sequence and then make it back into an APNG.

yeah ok but they're being 3d printed not grown in tubes/artificial uteri even if they were growing them in tubes to start with

Angry dupes?  Dupe fisticuffs?  Restraining dupes until they calm down?  I need these things in my game.

The restrain animations could be easily turned into dupes cocconed by some kind of giant spider critter if that was ever added.

But all of the creatures created on the "asteroid" were made for the specific purpose of being beneficial to the duplicants' colonization.

But what about the "lost" shockworm or whatever it is called? The volgus?

Who knows, maybe klei will throw a curve-shine at us and maybe strike us out

Maybe a critter "designed" to make clothes ran wild and started wrangling dupes.

Oh well maybe no agressive critters then. Too bad.

Volgus acts like the rabbits/crabbits/dung beetles in Don't Starve. They actively try to run AWAY from people.

And the "lost" shockworm became lost for a reason...because the devs didn't like the idea of aggressive mobs in the game at the point of development they were at.

Spoiler

Key note there...they said at the point of development they were at.

So we might very well get an aggressive mob in the future down the road.

Spoiler

But for Meep's sake it's not going to be the volgus!
