Yeah, that's why you're a beginner. There's tons of differences, actually. =/

1. Floor.

2. Legs spread better.

3. Jump is better, landing is better.

4. Smoother.

5. Moves all at the same time.

1. Too stiff. Also a bit choppy.

2. The sword just went right through him.

3. Run kinda sucked, check a tutorial.




By the way guys, how's this?

Its a little bit Choppy with little easing, however it doesn't look too bad.
You just need to ease out the back and the head at the end of the movement so it doesn't look so sudden when he stops.
You also need to make your limbs flow form the last frame.d
OH yeah and dont make the stickfigure slide when he crouches.

Actually there's easing in there, like 5 frames of it, a lot for such a short animation.

Don't know what you mean.

What? That doesn't make any sense.

He never crouches, and he's sliding from the forward momentum. That's easing, isn't it?

4 Things Squeegy (Explaining Pf0 for you)

1. He meant the end probably, and it doesn't matter how big the anim is to whether you ease more or not, just don't get lazy, and put your time and effort into your anims to improve.
2. At the end it just seems like the head jerks down and it looks kinda awkward.
3. At the end the arms look wierd and don't flow well with everything.
4. When he bends forward, his leg slides instead of his knee bending, forcing you to slide his foot back yet again to have enough power for the jump.

Hello, I'm new to the forum and I've only been dong pivot in my spare time.

Here are some of my animations, comments please!

http://img246.imageshack.us/my.php?image=beamgg4.gif

http://img406.imageshack.us/my.php?image=beam2rk0.gif

Which one is better? I also might try doing one with one beam instead of many beams attached to each other because frankly that doesn't look like a "real" beam.

Here are some more animations:

I think the punch goes a little too fast...

That's it! Thanks for looking at them and make sure to leave some criticism.
