I, personally, don't think that the parts of the robot were transformed correctly. I think that instead of transforming the outline of the robot, filling it in, then going on to the next part is the best way of doing it. It would look better if the entire part, painted and everything, came out. Also, there should be acceleration as he accelerates into the air. There should also be acceleration when the rock hits the ground as well, including a bounce at the end.

I am sorry if I seem offensive or anything, as my only intent is to help.

Heres my 3rd animation with flash, testing particales: View my swf file!
And also, where can i find filters?

my first ani with flash

? its not letting me post it says i need 20 posts??????????????????????????????????????•••••

You require 20 posts to post URL links.

Some people, including me, used a little technique to get past that little bump on the road. Copy and paste the link in your post, then put a space in between one of the letters. This allows for other members to copy and paste the link into their browser, and remove the space using the backspace. :Smile:

ok hehe

Updated my robot animation. - http://www.swfup.com/file/21237

I like the transformation part significantly more. However, I believe you did the rising and falling wrong. I can tell you put in changes of speeds, but they were placed incorrectly. When the robot ascended, he was going at his fastest speed at liftoff. Then, as he went further up, he went slower. I believe the opposite should happen. He should START slow, and then gain speed. I don't think I made this clear in my last post, and I apologize.

The bounce was ok, I guess. However, I think it should just be one, single bounce, and the rock shouldn't twist in the air like that. The rock should be at it's peak speed at the very beginning of the bounce. Then, it decelerates, and speeds back toward the ground. I think I posted a bouncing example here, and I shall post it again.

Also, please look at my new avatar. He's got a sword on his back, a gun in his hand, and a fancy hat on his head. He's got it all. I, personally, think the hat is the absolute coolest piece of headwear I've ever seen. I doubt you guys will agree, however.

Thats a pretty cool avatar Panda Lord, I do like the hat, but the sword looks weird.
The gun shot also lakes force to me...

Better than my first... However... I would recommend zooming for small animations, and you should use a higher frame rate. You also obviously avoided using walking and running, which you should learn first. Work on keeping the limbs at a constant length. Work on physics (takes time) and try not to use effects like powers or super speed for a while.

The feather should be coming out of the band of the hat (not the top) and I would recommend using a slightly lighter shade for the sword so that you can decipher it from the body better. To make the gun seem more powerful, you could try having his arm snap back further and make the time between shots greater. Besides that, I liked it.

I am not an expert of particles myself (i.e. I suck), but I think that you made too many tiny particle "spots." I think you should try to make the particles evaporate into, perhaps, crescents. BTW, "lakes" should be "lacks."

Most of it is OK except for certain frames where lines will spontaneously change direction and go back. However, I think that you should not give up on flight so easily.

Sorry for the uber long post, but I haven't been on Stick Page for a while and I wanted to comment on these.

EDIT: Another thing for the recoil strength of your avatar (Panda Lord) is that his forearm doesn't kick up, his elbow drops down and his forearm gets pulled back. It should do the former instead.

Well, i guess I just like my style of particles, I like making tons of small spot and stuff.

hi,
this is my first flash ani. what do you think?
