simple effects testing

Just getting back into pivot, just trying to find a sense of weight before I do anything.
(focus mostly on the guy on the left, he was the focus. Poor Mr brown is just a kicking bag)

Oh hey bubbles, been a long time since you used pivot eh?

It looks pretty good, the force and gravity was off though. You made it too slow and heavy, but I do see what you were going for.

BUBBLEZZZZZ
i got good at pivot while you were gone lol

I like the smoothness, but it needed more force. In order to knock that guy over he would have to have one hella kick.
There are also some places where the joints just randomly pop out, watch that.

Other than that shit its good!

Thanks, I'm still trying to get back into the jist of things, though I did always take uuh...liberty's with physics. It's just how I like to do things :P

Stickly! I remember you, jesus how long have I been gone?
Oh and, as for the joints could you tell me specifically where they were popping out?

Oh I know, I've been looking at posts here from a long time ago... :P

Well, now that i look at it again i think it is just an exaggeration of movements.
When he does the little hop at the beginning, his legs bend as if he just did a high jump. They should have been less bent. That's where the "popping out joints" thought came into my mind. Also when he kicks the back leg oddly pops, i dunno

the rest is just movements not following through. Like when getting ready for the kick, the arm movement looked forced. There should have been one movement where there were like 4

Anyway as I said before, it's looking real good! Just work on some of those things

Also: update lolol

I think the legs popping out was because of the way I animate legs, I tend to move the upper body and keep the feet in place, then the legs just sort of animate themselves. As for the arms, thanks, that was very perceptive of you.

Was magical, I know you said said you improved but...man...

[EDIT]
And now for something completely different, easing tests yaaaay...

a fighter that can't walk because all he knows is ATTACKS

in all seriousness some of the stuff in this thread isn't beginner material, it looks better than majority of the threads in the main section

:D

a good amount of the stuff posted on the recent pages would've been fine in their own thread
did the beginner standards get higher

I made this in Stykz and the lightning is made in flash, but... here: http://www.filz.us/view/55f88640-77e/

It's not the sexiest animation I've ever made, but... eh. It'll have to do.

Did somebody say... sexy?

According to DarkDemon, I'm still a beginner. So yeah :P

I've gotta agree with you there Sharp. Sexy as hell.
