I'm not sure if I can mentor fully seeing as my mom's pissed at the fact that the PC recovery I just did deleted all of her shit. (But not mine lol)

I'll be able to give second thoughts, and extra tips and advice or whatever. Like a student teacher I guess.

Alright, fair enough. What do you think that teh animator should work on, based on his animation up above? I myself think that he just needs to do some more actual movements and action in his before working on effects.

Also, I am still waiting for teh animator to reply so I can start mentoring him.

WELLLLLL......

I believe the same thing. Yeah, the effects are ok, but he'll end up like that "pivotgod" fag who only does effects. First things first, he should know that his figures are definitely stiff. With stiffness, you'll have:

-awkward movements
-incorrect easing

To reduce stiffness, he should of course, move every joint so that it LOOKS like its moving every frame. (it still has to move though lol) The best example I have to explain this is from Bahamut's awesome tutorial, (which he should check out)

When you reduce major stiffness in your animations, everything else should follow.

Can you be my mentor?

Haha, been ages dragora. You're still funny, I could mentor you. =3
But I would only be able to teach you things you taught me.

DARK: What do you suppose cronosxii needs to improve, if I am correct I believe that he has some talent at basics on his newer animations and should make a few more solid animations, to make his basics more concrete.

linemaniac231: Well, you will need to show me what you can do before I can decide whether I can help you or not. So post what you think you're best animation is.

You're going to mentor all these people?

Why you don't believe I will? Why yes, yes I am going to mentor all these people.

You must be one very kind and not busy person.

It doesn't take much to teach pivot, it is really simple once you learn it. But while you try and learn it, it seems nearly impossible and abstruse.
That is why I am going to help them, that way I can feel like I did something productive while I animated in pivot.
