that is wicked cool
perhaps consider an idle animation after that one? something like arms bobbing slightly, just so that it doesn't go from 'animation in the first second' -> no movement ever again
Model with 5 frames of animation. Each frame is rendered into separate image. Last frame is duplicated five times so I have 10 images total. I aplied a filter to each image and saved it (Shaders are non existant in RMXP). In the game, first five frames show at the start and after that the last 5 frames keep repeating.
