Hi, Here's my second video tutorial. This one is inspired from Ayneh's answer in the help section, when I was asking if there was a way to capture stickers and place them flawlessly. The level can be found at: http://lbp.me/v/1805k6 And is copyable for you to make your own captures. The tutorial is at: http://youtu.be/vujcpKwTCqE [0:00:15.5] Step 1: Place your design on a standard frame. The frame will be the positional reference. [0:01:34.1] Step 2: Using the medium grid, scale and place your frame with your design on the photo location. You can fit any number of designs in a single location, but the smaller they get, the quality worsens. [0:02:56.7] Step 3: Change to play mode, enter the controllinator. [0:03:14.0] Step 4: Start taking pictures using the start menu's snapshot option. [0:04:12.3] Step 5: Go back to create mode, place your stickers on thin holograms with animation speed set to 0 (Animation speed should be 0 both when on and off) [0:04:36.2] Step 6: Start cutting the holograms using the sticker cutter. [0:05:00.8] Step 7: Enlarge the stickered holos to 16:9 big grids. [0:06:02.9] Step 8: Cut away the excess parts manually in medium grid mode or use stencil objects to speed up the process. Your designs are now stickered at the exact same location. They are ready for animation and for use in your games! Update: Here is a animated gif showing the precision of the capture. They are the actual captured images although cropped to remove secondary images. The hologram normally ruins the precision with its texture and non-uniform lighting, but this is the quality to expect once we have sticker panel material http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n590/hesido/Gaming/StickerCapture.gif

This is perfect for animations, never would have thought to use the screen capture to make each photo the perfect size.

It'll also be extra nice when we get the sticker panel material! Tho then we will have alpha stickers, and using the alpha stickers and the sticker cutter will lead to easier standardization (as the edges of the design would allow the sticker to be re-fitted within grid) and some of this tutorial may be rendered useless, but it may still keep on being useful for making pixel perfect captures. I have also updated the post to show the precision of the captures.

This tutorial will still be useful to align the frames of animations even after the move dlc...
