Hey community,
plz help a newbie.

What I want to do:
I want to make sprites of a model, which means I want to work with models from our resource. Set it to different poses, render the poses to 2d.
Optional: I think it's not that hard to rip models from wii as I have seen in a youtube-tutorial. So maybe I would do that pre-work too.

What I'd like to know:
Is there a good program that is easy to handle for this exact operations?
What format will I have to work with most of the time?
If I decide to rip models myself, what program can use the ripped wii models without me having to convert them.
What else do I need to know? I don't even get the whole idea about textures. What are those good for? Will I need them for the operations I described?

I know these are a lot of questions but I'm eager to learn and get on this project asap so I'd REALLY appreciate your help Smile
