Hotari's Pivot Punch Tutorial

[liquidation]

ok this is my first tutorial so please dont be mad... >_<

now, i will explain the steps of making a punching action in steps.

Step 1.
ok get your stick guy into a basic stance. im gonna use the one below =D

Step 2.
now, draw him back a little, i know its a little vague but i will give out the piv in the end...

Step 3.
now, add another draw back, but about a quater the legnth of the other drawback. its all about smoothness.

Step 4.
ok, now your gonna need another stick, edit your stick and measure the size of his forearm. make a stick thats the same thickness, BUT about half the legnth of the sticks forearm. and make your little guy step forward, and hide the arm he's throwing and replace it with the stick you just made.
like so:

Step 5.
Now... you can add a frame here if you want. i like to but usually, people dont so i will not explain this. though you can get it from the PIV.

Step 6:
now launch the throwing arm out and make your little guy step forward rather quickly. like so:

Final Step.
ok this is strictly for smoothness. make your guy follow through with the action and sort of... rest. like this:

now, for the .PIV (http://www.filenuke.com/files/Punch Tut Animation.piv)

you dont have to use this style, this is strictly a demo of one. there are a whole lot of styles, that sadly, i know nothing of. lol

[.:[montney]:.]

that was pretty good thx i'll use it

[th3 sil3nt j]

Here's what i did. (I know it sucks)

[Myself]

Yet another tut.

[RH]

not as good as my opunch on my sig :)

[Myself]

Nope, but you siggeh needs work.

[2-D]

not as good as my opunch on my sig :)


The punch in your sig was to stiff. Dont be so confident.

[Lgolos]

Pretty good short tutorial.

I'd rep you, but it got taken away when people got jealous of me.

[Überschall]

Here's what i did. (I know it sucks)

You made a typical nub mistake:

Never, i repeat NEVER, let me say that again: NEEEEVEEER move the head of the stick wich gets hit backward, before you created at least one frame where the fist and da Face are having contact. cause otherwise it'll look like he didn't hit him, cause that's what happened.
Hope that Helps

[yargum]

Deagle's got a point, there.

Looks plain crappy.

[Überschall]

yargum... you'r avatar sucks like hell...

[Überschall]

K.... The tut is good in it's structure, but I don't use this style of punching.
And that one about the avatar wasn't meant nastily, let's say I don't like it ok?

[killkrazy]

this is nice and simple

[unreal]

pretty cool i liked how you moved the whole body not just the arms really is realistic!

[dothedew]

[Überschall]

Don't post things that have nothing to do with this topic. Nobody cares. Post in the correct section, wich would be the Beginner's Section for Pivot.

No, it's not good.

[bowstick]

the legs are a bit choppy but you got the basic moves correct

[Tmoline]

the piv. doen't works dude

[Lone Wolf]

the piv. doen't works dude

Maybe it's because this tut is more than an year old? Stop bumping threads to get your post count up.

[Big Bang]

Holy Jesus.

Lgolos talking about rep?Finnerwoo being a noob?

My god, so such threads still exist?

[MonsterBreath12]

Maybe it's because this tut is more than an year old? Stop bumping threads to get your post count up.

I'm glad sss bumped this so I see your post and I can say a few things.

No, you're the dumbass. The person who made this tut hasn't been on for forever. And bumping threads are only allowed if you have QUESTIONS about the tut.
