I recommend you just keep adding stuff(It can be anything) and not let others decide for you.

I've seen this happen a lot and that the thread starter begins to just die for some odd reason when people start trying to "take control" of the thread. We can post our suggestions but make sure you're the one who will decide. Honestly, I don't care what I have to animate as long as I can animate since I've been focusing a lot on art study that I've forgotten how fun it was to animate.

Yeah alright, thanks for the heads up man. (Sorry didn't see your post earlier, I must have skipped the page.)

Well, I second this. Hope you keep hosting this in the mean time, S.A. You can even list your own ideas as to what you plan for the next challenges. Personally have some in mind (e.g. falls, elements), but I'll let you decide overall.

Okay, will keep those challenges in mind.

In the meantime, let's try to cover all the basic actions first and after that move on to the good stuff!

Let's not forget the CnC part, tho. That's where we can actually learn something lol
I'll add my comments when I get on my computer :)

I think it needs more anticipation and/or easing when it crouches. Also. when jumping, it shouldn't lift one of the legs, leave that to superman lol

I think if you would've used the VCam to sort of give it a boost effect (where the stickman is faster than the camera but then the camera catches up) and connect the launch and run, instead of showing them as separate animations, it would look badass.

Definitely. I was in the process of doing that at first, but was falling asleep and for some reason thought "I have to get this in on time!"

I'll make sure I add it in today. Thanks for the feedback!

EDIT: Ohshi- is that an awesome book I see?

Sweet, will be using.
