Hey these are my first 4 ones that I actually like. They are not perfect. But they are OK.

That loser died.
Whats your favorite?
Running: it simply looks like the guy is jumping while shaking his legs and arms; add some frames in the middle to show the switching of arms and legs, and it will look much better.
Sword + Running: Same for the legs, but also-Who carries a sword that way? Imagine holding it like that while running, your arms would be so taut to the sword's grip; it feels awkward. It looks twice as awkward when you're watching someone else do it. Move the sword; Traditional under-the-arm style is generally a good place to start.
Fatality: The "crosshair" goes behind his head? He also looks a bit like he's trying to take a squat, and when he gets shot he moves slightly to the left, gets a bullet hole in the head, but doesn't drop or at least lose the stiff joints?
Pistol: The shooter only moves his head while firing; add some recoil to the arms, because if that's a deagle he's firing he's gotta be superman to hold it that still. The victim falls kind of flatly, and his feat fall out from under him; Make arms drop, and follow his center of gravity down to figure out how he'd hit the ground first. The way he is shot he should bend his back a bit backwards, then begin to fall and his back straightens up normally again due to the falling motion, before his arse hits the ground and everything else follows.
I was bored so i made this quickly http://img253.imageshack.us/my.php?image=reversekickux7.gif
Yah... c&c .

i'm tired of this. just because this is the beginner's thread, doesn't mean you post every half-assed peice of shit you crap out. do NOT post your animations here unless you put some ****ing efort into it. we don't need to see every thing you can slam together in a few seconds, if that's the best you can do, then we wnat to see it, but if you just slammed 5 minutes worth of work into a peice of shit, **** off, we don't want to see it. also, i know this qualifies as "flamming" but it think it deserves it, for obvious reasons.

The physics were bad, when he flies up, it looks like his body should move a bit. And, when he flys up, his legs are unmoving, when they start swaying, it's like something invisible pushed his legs. I think low beginner.

12-31-2007, 08:23 AM
I think his knees should bend, along with his body, to show the power of the punch. Maybe add an in-air frame,so that the arm doesn't just teleport to its destination. Here's an example i made:

I think you should try and rate better. It is important you give people a truthful rating, as in, the actual thing. What I did wasn't even near Inter. it was still low beginner. Work on that. And your stk is good, just don't show them to us, animate them.

he should bend his knees before he jumps
when he is in the air make him move his limbs and body about

Working on one thing does not make your animation completely better.

The ending runs a little jumpy and reveals a little more gap between frames. It's not supposed to slow down, ever since upload it's been like that. Or else it's my cruddy internet. Hope it doesn't lag, or that will effect how you see it...

I tried for easing, and I'm hoping the physics are okay, doubtful about the fall though. I KNOW HE'S STIFF. I don't have a decent stk with vertebrae yet, so for now he's going to have a petrified spine.
If you're wondering why I made someone kick himself in the face, I has no idea.

Heh, well I know that... I was just making a quickie to test easing and such. I've always had an appreciation for physics, but only a medium-strength focus/grip on it.
You can tell, right? That there is easing in my ani?:Nooooooo:
Yeah, very good physics. Keep improving, you're already better than me. Which isn't that good, but at least you don't suck.

Lol... made myself an avy real quick.
ok this should work http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/1791/killingxs2.gif
So should i continue? oh Btw tell me whats wrong with running (1st time i used running in a animation i think)
LN3uq
01-05-2008, 01:23 AM
Ok, the running acually wasn't half bad, I think the legs could have extended more, but it was pretty good considering.
When the first stick throws the knife up in the air in the beginning, there isn't nearly enough easing at the top of the throw. That knife should hang up there for a while. Now, knifes and things are harder to show than say, a ball, because the spin on them is so noticeable. But, make sure that the center of the knife, or wherever the center of it's weight is, stays on a curving path.
Here's an example I've made with a ball. It's only at 12 fps, you don't need ot have ridiculous frame rates to have a graceful motion, though I do think that your animation could use some more frames in between each motion. They seem a bit choppy. But, that might not be all in the speed, but just that you aren't keeping movements steady.
Anyway, the example.
http://www.swfme.com/view/1114582
Try and make the center of the knife decrease the distance to the top of the throw by around half every time, maybe more. Then on the way down, simply double it.
Here's the same animation at 24 fps. Not much different, but it does admittedly look smoother. I did take out a few frames at the top of the curve, it seemed too slow.
http://www.swfme.com/view/1240302
Keep at it, I like how long your animations are. I can never get past like five seconds.
And yes, the animations are in flash. I don't have pivot, but the concept is the same.

Improve on easing, physics, choppyness,

You didn't add easing.
yer i did look closely lol
SoulEater
01-05-2008, 04:18 AM
You should add much more easing then. It appeared that there was none. Also work on stiffness and choppyness, as well as..physics.
i know thats y i said no physics it was just a test for easing and i didnt have enough room to do all the easing stuff
cmon people comment my stuf sdfdsjfdfshgldf
Automaton
01-05-2008, 05:31 AM
there was no easing in there. heres how to do it. on the first frame, move it 1 pixel, 2nd - 2, 3rd - 4, 4th - 8, 5th - 16, 6th - 32, 7th - 32, and then the reverse back down to 1.

Learn to rate.
There was stiffness in the back and the arms, the jump physics were kind of off, you need to add more easing and don't jerk the stick to the back of the screen.
And it's not an A

01-06-2008, 03:51 PM
ooook thanks for the help but I dont know what are easing
tell me and I'll do it Easing is where you move something slowy for one frame, then move it a bit faster the next frame, untill it reaches full speed. Look at your arm when it moves. It will move slowly first instead of going full speed right away.

What's wrong with his run? Does he need to lean more into it, or are his arms too unresponsive? Is it both? Just tell me that and I'll finish this animation.
Arms,and it looks like he has 1 leg broken,you should look at some tuts and try doing the exact thing

Sorry, but it is not good whatsoever. Work on posing, easing, stiffness, physics, choppyness, anticipation, and everything else basic. Then it will start to not suck. With more practice, you can get better then this.
