View Profile its not smooth. you have no idea wat makes an animation smooth.
stagnant, i would originally say you have no right telling them what to do, but you're right half the time. Seriously, dont tell them how to animate movements, unless you know how to animate a certain movement. That's just a heads up.
ya i know
i can animate most movements correctly

View Profile LN, low beginner
SF- yesh, you should work on your combos. Instead of making big animations, to help with your movements. Never half ass in animating. When I stopped half assing, I was rewarded with inter on DD

View Profile I made another easing test made loosely by the rules for easing that Less Than Three Chibi taught me...
I half made this out of boredom.

View Profile that wasn't smooth at all. easing is when you start off slow moving a joint, get faster, and as the movement ends, you slow it down to a stop

View Profile O_O Thats what I was doing before LTTC came up to me and said "YO EASING RONG, U SUCK, DO MAH WAY!"
Actually, he told me that I was supposed to make the limb go faster, then pull it backwards, then it stops. Here's the animation he criticized. It was my first easing test.
The only thing I can agree with him about is how I eased the mouth.

Kage: Look at this. I made this also.
It's the easing in the arms you should look at.
Edit: I would give you the piv but I dunno how to upload it so you can downlooad it.

I don't see his arms slow down before the end of the spinning. Only his forearms suddenly decrease speed before he stops. When you don't slow down, it looks like something is flashing in front of him rather than his arms spinning. Maybe it's just too small for me to see.

Uh...Probably. Cuz, his entire arm slows down at the end. I'm not stupid enough to just stop it unless I got lazy (which I didn't on that anim cuz it's too non-lazyable)
Edit: also, in your earlier post, I didn't say you suck, nor did I say you should do it my way. I meant that you should do it
HIS way.
