Pivot - ASDFGHJKLLKJHGFDSA - 07-13-2010
Thought Id mess around with pivot, this is maybe my first animation on it. So any CC on how to improve general animation would be helpful.

Stick figures != creativity

It's what the animator mostly uses

Stick animators don't even use I bro, if you want to learn animation buy a book or search online but Pivot doesn't help at all
RE: Pivot - ASDFGHJKLLKJHGFDSA - 07-13-2010
Ill try using it to animate something other than stickmen, which I found out the 3.2 can do evidently.
Wow that messes up a sprite's palette a ton. I think Ill just keep trying to learn flash
RE: Pivot - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 07-15-2010
yeah no stickmen are dumb
real men don't use sticks
RE: Pivot - GaryCXJk - 07-17-2010
Sprite animations for that matter are more cheap than stick animations, implying that sprite animators are even less man.
Bunch of wankers.
RE: Pivot - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 07-17-2010
of course, by "sprite animator", you mean someone who uses already existing sprites to make a "sprite movie".
just clarifying.
RE: Pivot - Rosencrantz - 07-19-2010
idk
if I'm confused as to how I should animate something, I try to run it through Pivot first to see if I can't get it nice and clean before I go ahead and sprite it out
but that's just me.
RE: Pivot - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 07-19-2010
Pivot only moves "limbs" through the x and y axis. a better practice would be to use a 3d app and animate that. then use it as an armature for your sprites. i did that for my Mario with large Monkey Wrench ™.
RE: Pivot - Rosencrantz - 07-19-2010
Actually, there's a way to actually stretch and compress limbs
although I have Blender and I like that solution better :X
RE: Pivot - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 07-20-2010
you don't even have to be good with modelling, just use cylinders and spheres for guidelines.
plus it's truer 3d.
