I don't have a Skype and I don't really think I can get one anytime soon but thanks for the advice. I have other anims I've already made that I'll post later but that's the next one I'll make.
Ok keep up the good work.

I don't understand easing tutorials. Oblivion fall was just showing lines on a paper the way it looked to me tutorials on how stuff is done are better for me. I also plan to get on a much much much higher level before I try angles again.

@charry you may (probably) be trying to help but if I have a premade stick right in front of me why would I go through the trouble of importing a basic figure? I really don't see the difference the two have all the same joints and nobes and everything. Plus when I put details in but the anim was bad quick kicks told me it was bad. I feel more comfortable animating with these sticks than I ever did with basic sticks.
@phantom it takes 5-10 minutes to make a complex costume for these guys. I'm sure you can't do much with that time.


You're being quite ignorant to nearly all the advice everyone is throwing at you. If you wanna go your own way, thats fine, but alot of these people are more experienced than you. You should listen, because they can really help you improve.

The point of basic models is for basic animation, something you are lacking experience in. Basic models work for movement the very same way an anatomy sketch works for art, to help you spot the most basic faults you aren't going to look for if you've tried to mask it off with detailed figures. Your problem seems to be a lack of planning and patience. Every animation you do needs to be a big project, you have no planning or development, you just rush into the final thing, which means you have very likely not thought over the most basic things.
I'm happy to tell you your weaknesses and give you advice on how to fix these problems, but if you're just going to be ignorant and not accept your mistakes, I'm not going to put any effort into helping you.

I'm not trying to be ignorant or ignore your advice I simply don't understand what you're trying to say. However, if a basic stick is really gonna be the best possible option I'll look into it.

I love how your animations have an old-school background with fullbodies, it really gives it some character and class. Sweet.

Exactly, if you don't understand ask us, look at other people's animations.

What…are… just… Are you reading my post or the replies to them? I'm not being a "hardass" what does that even mean? I'm…why?

You talk like you wanna help then you talk like I'm annoying you. I don't get that are you trying to help or just confuse me cause I'm super confused right now.

the hell are you quoting me for quick kicks.

Actually I was being sarcastic. And I wasn't ribbing at you specifically. I'm trying to say that thus far only Zed, Scarecrow, and Sharp have been concerned solely on being helpful to you whereas everyone else is just being a "well if you wont listen to my expert advice then fuck off, you callous twat" to the point that they now appear to be righteously pissing you off with their there-is-only-one-way-to-do-things tunnel vision.

Guys, there is such a thing as being knowledgeable and helpful. And then there's being an arrogant master. Give Jthatcher his advice and then leave all the personal banter out the door. You don't need to fucking stoop to JThatcher's level of callousness to get your points across. I mean with classic phrases such as:

Quote from quick kicks
stop this series and work on your movements and easing no one wants to watch a shit series
Quote from Jthatcher;1157030
And then I remembered why you are on my ignore list.


You gotta ask yourselves if it really is worth giving advice to this guy. In this example, quick kicks is being a dick to JThatcher so naturally being a dick himself, he responded in kind. And then quick kick wonders why HIS advice isn't being taken seriously. Now go back to page 1 and look at how JThatcher and Zed are communicating. That should've been the proper way of doing things; as objectively as possible.

So Bottom line: don't be a dick to the dick.




Also Jthatcher, since when have you started quoting at me again. I thought your personal advice was to just ignore anything I say outright:

Quote from Jthatcher
I could argue but I have decided to ignore you from here on you have your part I have mine.

Quote from Jthatcher
I'm getting tired of you being banned vex just do what I did and ignore his ass.



Doing a bang up job so far.

Oh oh, that was sarcasm again in case you missed it. Wouldn't want you to get confused.

First of all I didn't infract anyone except you for literally coming out of nowhere just to attack me. Secondly, why yes part of my job is being a raging dick. And that wasn't a tad like trying to help and insult. That was to put it bluntly, calling jthatcher a dick as well.

You know it helps if you don't explain the joke. Kinda ruins it.

Btw, I wanna make it clear that I am not dissing you JThatcher. I'm just saying that it is your natural response to react accordingly to when people are treating you like shit; a point that Rokon seems to have missed. Do you want to end up like Vexor too, Rokon?

Seem's rokon also met his fate please don't end up like this Jthatcher.

quick kicks, its not just you being a dick in general. I admit that youre actually pretty prolific with the cnc's around here, but I feel that you could at least expound more on what you're trying to say. You always say stuff like "needs more easing" or "needs more frames". You know it would benefit JThatcher more if you went into specifics. Say which part looks wonky and dont just say "all of it". Explain better.

And if he doesnt listen then just leave him alone.

:O... Well, since you got infracted, I guess theres no point in saying what you just did terribly wrong...

How long is he banned Hewitt?
