[die321]

once more, both way better than mine *sigh* i just odnt understand whats wrong with it

[Stormwalker]

well use easing more and tnx work on movements dont worry you just need to do test like this and then make diferent anims

[stranger]

Ill be posting mine soon, its not that good, its my first, and its only a guy running through a cheesy obstacle course doing some acrobatics and stuff, be done in about a week or a few days.

[Stormwalker]

cool what d you think of mine?

[Naglfar]

I'm looking forward to it.

[Stormwalker]

well lol check it its in the previous page :D lol

[Naglfar]

I know i was talking about stranger, ur kick was pretty good

[bowchicawowwow]

http://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=akickinthefaceef2.gif
thats my first animation people will actualy see what do you guys think? what rank am I.

[Stormwalker]

med beg im p[rety sure ...! well now who wants to collab with me?

[die321]

well, almost med beg, let em move more loosely

[bowstick]

what about mine? its choppy in some places but his is the first animation that has rotations in is what do yall think its not really a figting move its more one of those fighting sequences that martial artists do. http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7728/movementstestsh6.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[Naglfar]

Hehe, storm, collab on what

[Stormwalker]

med beg this one its shaky in parts and needs more easing

[die321]

ok if it does then do resize 50%, super sample 4, and uncheck everything but crop

low beg

[the_rmf]

ok,
ohh low begg?!

[Naglfar]

Yes low beginner, it's ok don't worry you'll be better someday

[Alifighter]

or will he.......he wont if he doesnt practice.

[Naglfar]

True...the most important term in animating is patience

[the_rmf]

OK ty for the advice

[bowstick]

well i wanna post my animation and start a new thread and do a poll ....... but how?

[Naglfar]

Go to "thread tools", u'll see

[Naglfar]

bowchica, watch the back, it was too stiff

[die321]

[saphire-flame]

lol dw there probley better then some of the effects i can do.

[Stormwalker]

stagantflame how is your joint against me doin?

[ijinkakudo]

This is my 1st pivot animation hope you enjoy http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/5879/metaforgemc2.gif

[Naglfar]

Wow it's so small, only shrink frame by 1/2 :D

[ijinkakudo]

That should do it, I was haven some difficulty's but their it is

[Naglfar]

You need to work on the basics, u can check out some tuts in the tutorial section
good luck :D

[windlord]

I just got back from vacation and my competer wasn't working for about 2 days now it's finally working and I'am srry I don't have a animation to show right now.

[shadow stalker222]

[bowstick]

umm this is an effects test ONLY the kick sux, its really choppy but what do yall think of the effect http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/2087/kicklm5.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[Waterboy]

umm this is an effects test ONLY the kick sux, its really choppy but what do yall think of the effect http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/2087/kicklm5.gif (http://imageshack.us)

Since you told me not to comment on the kick...

The effect was nice, I would not like to see a trail when hes going down though. But it may look better your way, idk. But good job anyway, I can see your improving.

[bowstick]

so you dont like it when it comes down ok but i was just experimenting and is the movement of the kick really wrong or is it just choppy because kicks are hard for me..........thanks for the advice

[nuke]

cool website:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[rufty86]

hey what's goin on

[bowstick]

yeah EvERYBODY CALM DOWN lol

[Knightsy]

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/8302/1stcombotestiz3.gif

My First Ever Combo Test.

[bowstick]

make it faster and work on physics and at the end when he lands make his knees bend slightly and all of his joints move NOT MUCH but looks good for first :D

[die321]

choppy, and stiff and flawed, low beg, but we all gotta start somewhere eh?

nice for a first :)

[Knightsy]

KK ill take your opinions in consideration and ill try and do it again and edit it

[kinto]

Its hard to believe that your physics suck though I <3 your effectzzz

[Knightsy]

What i didnt get a word you just said ???? what you mean?

[bowstick]

my new SWOOSH TESt http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5508/swooshtest21oa0.gif (http://imageshack.us) the GIF messed up the background =(

Wow very nice effect and the movements were pretty decent too. Background sucked though...lol.

[chase5467]

and does anyone have any idea as how to continue the colab ali/me/waterboys workin on? water jsut finished throwing a squirrel (lolz) and now its time for me to animate two dudes fightin but i have no frickin idea as to what i should make . . . help me plz!

[bowstick]

heres my kick with swoosh test but i suck at reactions to kicks and punches (ITS OBVIOUS) need help with that http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/6335/kickingtestnuber10000af8.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[ijinkakudo]

how do you get backgrounds

[Stormwalker]

well u can draw them in paitn and add the, but dont its nubish make your own with stiks! bowstik the kick is wrong and at the end extremely stiff the arms move but the body stays still but you are improoving greatly seems ur starting to get easing but work on the body movements way more! the previous anim was better

[Knightsy]

hahaa bow stick copying the way i do my amrs lmao let them flop after lol
the physics on the guy who got kikked from what are saw and the reactions need orking on. and a bit of choopyness form what i saw

[bowstick]

thanks for the comments i got really really lazy on that one......... for me kicking and reactions are hard but ill jjst keep practicing ad experementing but yes i think that the movements on the other animation was better.... thanks

[Stormwalker]

naaw! reactions arent hard just improvise!

[terrain]

Mkay, if your serious then I could help.

first punch kick combo test please leave me good tips on how to make this awsome http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x220/Terrain889/punchkickcombo.gif

[phantomtookay]

bad recoil.. bad punch.. choppy, stiff.. didn't look like he got hurt at all.. and just a horrible stick (no offence - you should stick with a nice base for now). i'd say low beginner.. if not noob.

[die321]

links arent workin on my comp 0.0

[rednetrab41]

you dont need a mentor. trust me. you get it on your own.

[SprayPainted]

Oh My God! So many pages from when I last posted in this thread. So many...new beginners!

[psykofr33k]

Well, I started a new animation. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do from this point, but I have a pretty good idea. So, how is it?
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s28/psykofr33k/ContinuedNumber2.gif

[bowstick]

i thought it was good, physics were ok, but keep it up............... heres my blood test idk what im doing wrong but it looks off to me SUGGESTIONS? http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/3401/bloodtest2od1.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[bob190]

just something random rate plz.
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1429/wormzk0.gif (http://imageshack.us)


i think the bloods pretty good bowstick

[Naglfar]

?_? I don't know how to make effects

[Bricked]

Neither do I.

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/7030/jabtlk8.gif

Another test with one of my base sticks. I liked it.

[Naglfar]

Your back was stiff, other than that it was okay

[kreative1]

Neither do I.

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/7030/jabtlk8.gif

Another test with one of my base sticks. I liked it.

i like this, nice spacing etc, just the back needs a little movements.
why you in the beginner's thread? your worthy of your own thread.

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s28/psykofr33k/ContinuedNumber2.gif

now i liked the beginning, but when he fell i felt it looked really stiff, and when the hover board disappeared, i really didn't like it.

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1429/wormzk0.gif (http://imageshack.us)



sorry to say, but what in the hell of baby jesus' mother's vagina is that?
it is really horrible. i don't even know what the stick is. the flip is totally the wrong way you positioned the tail. i suggest a shit load of therapy. and in that i mean tuts.... looks like something crawled up your ass, died, rotted and dropped out again.

[Naglfar]

That's what's the beginner's section is for, kreative, there's no way of not seeing these kind of animations here, so don't say something like that.

[kreative1]

yes i knows what the beginner's thread is. i am aware that noobs post shit here. i'm just saying he could of at least took a months worth of practice.
that's what i did, first time i post, i'm low inter.

[Naglfar]

Not everyone is a born animator, some of them don't know how to make it better , like die321(no offense) so they post it on here for advice, they do not post here for flamism, they post it for friendly replies, now learn how to give proper replies instead of flaming them because ur just better than them in one thing - animating

[Strills]

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g266/Razhiz/th_Stickfight.jpg (http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g266/Razhiz/?action=view&current=Stickfight.flv)

what do you think? The colors are all screwed up and it goes slow.. how to fix it?:(

[Naglfar]

Well you can post it first as an image file
*ur link*
Cuz I can watch it, my internet stinks :D

[Bricked]

I see only a low quality background with two stickfigures.

Edit: I didn't click on it. That's why.

It's very slow, and choppy, and kind of stiff.

[kreative1]

I see only a low quality background with two stickfigures.

brick'd, you have to click the image, because its a photobucket linkage video.

@ strills: send me the pivot file and i'll make it look faster for ya ok?

[Bricked]

Post edited...

I feel like a right idiot for not thinking about that...

[die321]

yeeaah everything was off, but its a third anim, we all gotta start somewhere, right?

[Naglfar]

Hey die seriously ur avatar is freaking me out lol

[bob190]

suggestions plz

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/5936/beam12qx4.gif (http://imageshack.us) plz rate

[die321]

fixed it

bob, read some smoothness tuts, and, uh, yeah keep it up

[Naglfar]

Make back bones :)

[enzo]

meh. the punch wasn't that good. neither was the kick.

all joints of the stick should be used when;
A. Running
B. Doing any sort of strenuous movements
C. in combat

and don't ever rush an anim.

[Alifighter]

yeh just work on it slowly. and go back to see if u have any flaws.

[terrain]

1st running test http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x220/Terrain889/running.gif

[saphire-flame]

add liek 2 more frames in there

[jonblais]

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb73/jonblais/battle.gif:eek: :eek: :eek:

[jonblais]

is it good stick battle

[Bricked]

No, and don't double post.

It's choppy, stiff, has no easing, and is very unrealistic. I'd recommend looking at tutorials, studying the pros, and basically just looking at it yourself and saying, "What am I doing wrong?".

[rufty86]

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa165/Rufty86/workinprogress.gif

work in progress im trying to get back to the rank i am

[kreative1]

your level's kinda dropped in that animation.
it shakes really weird.
and it's very stiff.
think it's coz you got no onion skin. don't try no onion skill till your like high inter.
i don't like how it shakes from side to side into the main frame.
plus you can see the fills which isnt good.
your lettin' ya self go.

[Bricked]

Listen to kreative1. He knows what he's talking about.

Also, try to make longer animations. That was probably 30 or so frames, and didn't really seem to take much effort.

[rufty86]

i know i haven't made any animations in a long while but ok

[bowstick]

well i know this little trick has been done before but i made my own midget and wanted to try it out and this is what i got but it doesnt have a gound and the physics are not perfectbut its just a test ............ what do yall think? http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/5977/firstmidgetbk2.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[kreative1]

nice little anim.

the flip should be quicker, less slower.
the ball should drop a little quicker.
make it bounce a few times more.
the landin after morphin was nice too.
you got some good movements.
you just need to expand your ideas.

[bowstick]

i've come a long way eh?

oh and yeah, make it faster, and that push thingy was wierd, i'd have him fall in from the top, bounce a few times, morph, jump and morph into a loop or something

[NeonFlame]

you have come a long way very slowly...
but your were gone for a while
whatd you do?
btw im stagantflame but i got hacked so i had to make a new acc

[die321]

ah, ok yeah, i did stop a long while ago, but recently i've been animating a lot, and i think i just found my way :)
sooo still med ya think?

and any ideas 4 continueing?

[bowstick]

this is a running test http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w73/CS1FNaruto/running.gif

[die321]

hehe, ok on both add more frames, meaning move the stick slower but with more frames . . . i can see youre not ver patient with animating :D i used to be like that but now look, just finished this anim

http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/7141/smootheasingtestpq0.gif (http://imageshack.us)

and a great way of improving is easing . . . its where u barely move the stick, then barely more, then double the movement and then double then . . . u get the point, and easing includes slowing down when you think your moving it a whole lot and u think u should slow it down to the same thing, but backwards, like move a lil less, then more more more more til u barely move it, do a still frame, and do another movement :D

[pivot_jose]

man I need 20 posts to post some of mine so I'll go post something up and post animations later

[Bricked]

You do not need 20 posts, to post images. Seriously, why doesn't anyone know that!? You can post images in img tags, you don't have to have 20 posts. Seriously.

[spikeyguy777]

hi im on my friends account since i dont have one...here is my first pivot i made the spider guy...um enjoy

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d159/spikeyguy777/chad1.gif

[Bricked]

Very hard to enjoy.

Look at some tutorials, and study the pros, and work on basic movements/easing/getting rid of stiffness. Then, take a look at your work, and say "What can I improve?"

[kreative1]

follow brick'd wise words, and better you shall get

[bowchicawowwow]

Hey guys i took what cryztal said into consideration and look what ive come up with http://img502.imageshack.us/my.php?image=maxcomboel1.gif

[Naglfar]

It was okay-ish, but the hands were the major problems, overall a good ani

[bowchicawowwow]

It was okay-ish, but the hands were the major problems, overall a good ani
Thank you.What do you think the rank would be med beg or high beg?

[Naglfar]

Somewher between, good job

[Dragonkof]

borderline med. nearly out of here.

ok, on jumps, you have to make the movements slow down. like... this

| is a frame
- is a movement
|------|----|---|--|-|-||

if you know what i mean

[bob190]

its kinda fast but rate plz


http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/4883/hahaqs6.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[bowchicawowwow]

lol thanks crztal and thanx drag for the tip oh and bob pretty good but use a diffrent stick man with three backbones your animation will look better.

[NeonFlame]

Hey guys i took what cryztal said into consideration and look what ive come up with http://img502.imageshack.us/my.php?image=maxcomboel1.gif

well i say close to med because there was absolutley no easing and in some parts it was really choppy
but you are improving

[bob190]

lol thanks crztal and thanx drag for the tip oh and bob pretty good but use a diffrent stick man with three backbones your animation will look better.

[angelex21]

Hope its not like the lowest level xD

[doylerdude]

Incredibly jumpy and stiff. Major problem is at the very start when the guy runs into the other guy, the blue guy just stays in the same position. He moves, but his joints don't, if you get me.And where did you get the .stks? If you didn't make them yourself then you shold credit whoever did.

[angelex21]

Well at first i was aiming for that to be a "Force Field" he punched and not a block but i realized that his hand was in the way so yea.. lol
Edit: The Credits for the stks go to Droidz.org

http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/7600/testingzm6.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[die321]

real choopy, stiff back, make the whole thing loose and, here, i'll teach you something . . .


if you want your animations to be smooth,

use easing

example: move like the first |-|
then|-|--|---|----|-----|----|---|--|-|
get the point? move a lil, then more, then more, and more til u get to moving it a gianyt space, then decrease slowly, frame by frame :)

[angelex21]

Can you explain the easing Diagram some more?
