Need Sprites: How do you make your sprites?

Hey guys, I'm looking for some easy ways for good quality 3D sprites. What programs do you make your sprites with?

Also, I'm looking for some good quality, practically coldstone-ready sprites, like the anime ones that beenox has a link to. And not these snes crap ones.

Hey, Stay tooned for the most fun game created by Coldstone! By, J. Ballentine

I found (url="http://"ftp://ftp.ambrosiasw.com/pub/coldstone/graphics/CharacterSprites.sit")these(/url) while surfing ASW's ftp site. I have been using one of the guys in there for the graphics for my main character, and will be using those graphics for my game, unless Ambrosia/Beenox objects.

As for making them in Anime style, you will probably want to find a good pixel artist with anime skill. Unless you have both qualifications, (like me) that is.

Yeah, this is my mock-sig. Laugh if you want.

If you want some 3D programs you can use Amapi or Pixels Studio for free. Both are very powerful.(But not the easiest to learn to use.)

Also, chill gave a really nice link to a helpful tutorial on creating 2D sprites.

3D programs in general aren't very easy to use; unless you want to look amateurish, you're going to have to wrap your head around some potentially difficult concepts.

My "best bang for the buck" award goes to Hash's Animation Master, but that's largely because I'm willing to put up with it's faults and have been using it for over a year now.

Thanx guys!
Awesome!

I am going to make two games, one with 2d, and 1 with 3d (rendered sprites). Also I need some sprites that are 16-32 bit.
