What would you guys rate me.


I am uncertain, perhaps you should post an animation to rate. Never the less, you are likely a beginner due to the fact that you actually care about your rank.

I fail to see that you posted an animation, please proceed to do so.

EDIT: Ah yes that is much better let's see. Yeah the first gun recoil was passable for high beginner, however you got increasingly more and more lazy and torpid. The gun effects were half decent, but were not animated properly. There was jerking and some lack of easing in certain areas. Don't try effects until you have down basics. This may sound generic however there is a reason it is said frequently. Medium beginner with potential to be either high beginner or low beginner. Depending on how it is changed or your next animation is.

And I edited my post, there is some criticism that you most likely don't get a lot of.

and just out of curiosity, whats the lowest ranking someone could ever get?


noob. there is none lower. DO NOT confuse with newbie. newbie is someone who posts a first anim using default stick of some fight scene. noob is someone who continues to post stuff like that even though they are told to learn the BASICS!!!! Image

Yeah and explain to me how one with only 100 posts has knowledge of that.
There is no lower rank than low beginner. The rank noob has not been used for about a year. Further more it was not even a real rank, it was more like describing foolish morons who can't animate or spell in even the slightest after six months of being here. I was one of those for a while, so I have experience.

I refuse to criticize the blood of that animation. Because you should first learn basic movements. There was some serious lack of easing in that there were not any physics and spacing and stiffness was a rather exorbitant issue. Particularly when his arms move up and down.

That was not harsh, nor was it even close to the meaning of the word, it was simply a comment and a question. I could show you harshness of a magnitude you have never seen.

Well, when your starting out don't use words like better good or bad. And don't get tied up in thoughts, just get better that is all you need to do.

how was that bad physics and what is spacing? that was definitely not my best, just an experiment with blood. didnt spend much time on it.
