Okay, ever wondered where to get stk's for your pivots?
Well, look no further.
First of all i must stress that if you are quite young, PLEASE ask your parents before downloading them.
Also, credit the people or site that you got it from, e.g:

Credits to Droidz for the explosion

Understand? Good.
These stk's are for using in pivot only, and take good care of them (cause their pretty cool) they have a lot of practical uses, like jon's transparency, the one and only way to have a background AND onionskin (excluding backgrounds themselves). Use the transparency all over the page, and you will have a semi-visible onionskin. Now, when you change the gif-rape options, set the size of your animation to 1/2 and the colour that your transparency is set too makes the colour of the gif background.

I Hope This Helps, So Here Is The Site Itself:
The One,
The Only,

www.droidz.org

Also:
Another way too enjoy stk's too use on pivot is a site by an elite animator who has been an avid pivot user for a while.
His name is /Bolt and he's an elite, an amazing animator, truly.

here is a link to his stk's.
If you see some of his stk's on droidz, this is because he, obviously, has donated them.

Why did you upload it?

Download it to a file: If its a simple piv then it should come up in pivot and you can save it.

If it is a zip. file, it will come up in win zip (if you have it) and you right click, upack files, and unpack them to a folder you want. the simply go into pivot, press load stk. and find your folder?

Helpful???

*Sticky Request*???????????

Let me get this straight, so Jet and I can help you the most.

You:

Downloaded
Made an Animation
Tried to Upload
It wouldn't let you

well, this could be caused by a number of reasons, which most new animators from any program.
From what I'm understanding here, is that you downloaded a stick, and used it in a pivot animation. You then tried to upload the animation to droidz.
ok, heres my shitty reason list.

Droidz Upload:

Its For Sticks*

[SIZE="1"]*from what I'm thinking, is that you pressed upload. I think that the droidz upload form is for sticks only.[/SIZE]

How to Make it a image, to upload:

Make your animation
go to File > Save
make it save as Gif (*.Gif)|*.gif
set options to: Merge = Off | Delay = 6 | Shrink = 2
go to www.imageshack.com, www.tinypic.com or www.pivothost.com
Upload the Gif
get the IMG code. might say BB Code (for forums)
Paste the code into your thread
copy the link AGAIN, removing the tags
wait for replies

Inserting Custom Sticks into Pivot:

Go to File > Load Stick Figure/ Load Figure
find your stick
press open

FAQ

How do i upload a .piv for people to look at?
Well, how i do it is, go to www.pivothost.com and upload the .piv straight there.

Where are good tutorials?
There are some here, which can be most helpful. If you dont find what your looking for here, try www.darkdemon.com.

OMG!!!11!2! The only pivot version i find i need to buy!! what do i do!??
Go to the pivot section. There is a thread there with the download there.
That applies with flash, and eztoons aswell.
I also have a modded pivot thread, which you can search for, under my name.
It is free, aswell.

If you again, dont find the program you want.
use something, which is a tool, of great magical abilities, in its own kingdom. Journey there, to have your questions answered.

Anything else i can do, just mention it.

PM a mod if you want a sticky.

Anyways, this thread will stop alot of noobs from making threads about "I WANT STIK". But alas, threads will never stop being made about it. Noobs just ignore all other threads...
