It's good, but it looks a lot like something I've seen before... maybe inspired by it?

The animation wasn't well made: It lacks phyics and basics such as easing flow foot placement... etc, also when he swings, he stopped in mid-air, so in order to fix that you make the guy go at a constant speed.
And no, it isn't eased at all. Easing is gradualy inceasing then decreasing your speed and that wasn't applied in the animation above.

Also, is it just me, or every pivoter in here's concerned about easing?

Since Pivot can't do real curves and makes special effects very hard to make, all pivoters put their quality in things they can do : angles and easing. That's the because and why :)

I'd like to point out this fine example of what Pivot can do with effects:
"horseradish from DD" (Click to Show)

And here's what Pivot can do with 3D:
"Mctoast from DD" (Click to Show)

And here's what Pivot can do with art:
"MCtoast from DD" (Click to Show)

So yeah, I hate it when I see people in here get concerned by some very basic things. Of course they're beginnerish so they must be concerned by these things.
I'm sorry because I went off-topic. But I just wanted to make some stuff clear. I'm sorry again C:.

looks good up until he lets go of the rope. he suddenly loses all momentum and then just kind of floats away, instead of swinging off it

i dont under stand why my easing isnt working ive watched 6 easing tutorials and still no easing and also the reason he kinda stopped in mid air is because hes being pulled upwards which probably failed as well

You're only a few frames off. You need a frame at the start where it moves by literally one pixel, and then one where it moves by about three.

....... I gave you the piv file of mine and you said you'd improve on it. Then you post it as it's own thread. I despise you.

He said he'd improve on it, only give it to me, and tell me how I could do better. But then he made it his own thread and gave me no credit. Also mine (the original) was better.

That ain't cool at all. Mr. qk has all week to think about what he's done.

XJCLW, would be nice if you can PM me the original to verify although from qk's reaction it would seem most likely. Still I wanna be sure.
