Beginner to game programming
hello everyone
I am trying to write a he-man fighting game. I have just started and am pretty new to game devlopment, but thanks to java.sun I found the animation to walk. I used that code and edited for jumping and throwing a basic punch. my problem is this. all the images I have are jpgs from the old cartoon show. how do I render them in java to look like "video game images" (an actual part of the game, instead of an image moving in a back ground
thanks

i know i gave a bad explanation but basically my image looks just like the jpg i got off the he man site. I would like it to look like a professional generated image instead of the jpg of the cartoon clip I think I need to do some rendering, but I am not sure, and if I do need rendering, can i do it through java or do I need to download some software
thanks for the response
if its Image manipulation your doing, then you need a Paint package such as PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro (the later being freely downloadable shareware)
as for making them look Professional - thats what Professional game artists do :)
There are lots of packages for building 3D scenes and rendering them out as 2D images.
Most of them cost a stack of [$$$|齶<place your currency here>].
3D Studio Max, Lightwave and Maya are the ones that immediately spring to mind, but there are lots of others.
