Its just a guy doing flips and jumps...Tips?
This is my first Pivot. Also, how do you actually post the animation without clicking on it, like how Mironic had done it.

Whoops, I meant how do you post the animation in this thread, and people can see it without clicking on it.

Oh ok, thanks spartan!

actruly its a smooth thingy hes not fliping or jumping lmao

He flipped/jumped or whatever way too fast, lol. Make it slower and smoother.

EDIT: I didn't want to double post, but i wanted to add an animation, so here:



Sniper Test.
Yeah, i know i messed up on the building leveling. Too many layers -.-'. And he put down the gun wierd.
COMMENT PLEASE ^_^

he moves the cursor too much it looks like he is sick.

Hi is my again ^^ this my new pivot animation, If u can pls rank and cc :Embarrassed:

Those effects are pretty sweet :D
But you really need to work on stiffness, physics, and easing.
Easing is essentially when an object gains speed then decreases. It's hard to explain with words so I will try and show you with a little diagram:
No easing:
|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|
Easing:
|-|--|---|---|--|-|

Stiffness is when you don't move a joint of the stickfigure for a certain amount of frames and basically ruins you'r animation. To fix this, move every joint of the figure each frame. Even moving it a tiny bit will help.

I'm not good at explaing things like physics, so ask somone else or look at some tutorials >_<

Hope this helped you a bit.
Keep trying and you will get better ;D

Ok, thx I think I understand :D

Old one.... I know it's ghey, but i don't care... i was bored and decided to post it...

Please give me tips

Well I've been experimenting with Pivot for about two days and I'm getting the hang of some of the basics. I'm totally crap but I hope someone can tell me what fields I need to work on, eg - smoothness, easing, spacing, effects and other things.

Here is my first proper animation aside from testing effects,etc.http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fightoveraxexf4.gif

Please give me tips. I thought i would test how well i animate guns. Tell me what you think.
