Quick background: I only recently found out about this community. I went through it, and found some awesome splices and custom animations. I read up on custom animations (specifically, both of BwdYeti's tutorials. The second one said that custom animation requires a good amount of splicing skill. I wanted to splice in the first place, so I figured I'd ask my questions.
Now, onto my problem:
I have all the mugs from every GBA Era game downloaded. But how do I separate the mugs that I'm not using from the ones that I am using? I've read many turotials, but none of them cover this kind of thing. Should I download all the mugs seperately? What programs can be used for splicing? I have Paint (98 and current version) and Free GraphicsGale. Would one of these work?
Another question: On a scale of one to ten, how much art skill does it take to splice? I have very little art skill, possibly a two.
Thanks for any help anyone gives me on this topic. It's much appreciated!
