I was going to recommend fixing the loop then I realized you said pivot crashed.

Good animation though, I like it.

[crazyMLC]

it only crash so that i couldn't save it as a .piv, but i did revise it, just now...
http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/6563/forestparallaxtestvf8.gif (http://imageshack.us)
is crashed after i saved :/
color is still a tiny bit messed up

[Revilo]

Nice pivot crazy, but I think I preferred the first. The messed up colours made more of a contrast between background and foreground, it means its easier to see the difference.

:rolleyes: I think being at school is making me talk all posh-like! :p

The tree/pillder keeps moving up and down firt its in the middle then it move's to the bootom but other that tht its swell.

[fzz]

yeh the trees are jumping , it goes faster towards the the end

I dont get your other one about zero... it doesnt make sense he starts bleeding randomly then dies and turns white....?

[Jester]

lol i agree with that and yeah crazy your trees are jumping, your not ready for big backgrounds like that yet im afraid...stick to the small stuff.

[magical trever]

hi its me again does anyone like my archer pivot?
also can someone let be borrow some things like guns bullets and sticks

[crazyMLC]

lol i agree with that and yeah crazy your trees are jumping, your not ready for big backgrounds like that yet im afraid...stick to the small stuff.
its jumpy because i dont care about that, i only wanted to test parallax.
if i had the .piv i could fix that, but it doesn't matter, its not what the test is about.

heres it is Crazy MLC,Oh and yeah those little purpal thing are Game boy's not contolers they were but i didnt make a ps2 or some crap like that.

i think its my best

[death from abov]

y dont we all make a collab :shock: omg i had an idea


it can include all of us and we can make another ones for the best of u lot
e.g.revilio crazy mcl,yams

has any 1 seen yams at all lately?(seen u know heard posted lol):search: :weebl:

[Revilo]

Someone once tried that.

I... kinda... accidentally... killed it... ¬_¬

But hey...

[dj stick]

Lol

[Revilo]

Lol

15. don't post one word replies:
If you're not bothered to type a bit more, don't bother at all.

*ahem*

and that seems kinda off-topic.

Is anyone gonna start the Collab?

or give something to base it on...?

or... anything!?

[death from abov]

stuff like this
http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/5839/collabtry1vn0.gif (http://imageshack.us)
ive practiced and made a stick that can do anything
http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/1439/silotricksvp1.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[Jester]

Oi death what about me! im the best animator on here, btw yams doesnt do collabs.

but he told me i was the best here.

[Revilo]

You may be the best, but I really don't like it when somebody says they're the best.

even if they are. :D

how odd. and They could be a little smoother, try making the .gifs smaller, the stick looks jagged.

[crazyMLC]

hey crazy are we still doing that war ??
yeah, i'll finish it...

you guys why isnt anyohttp://img430.imageshack.us/img430/491/weirdcm6.th.gif (http://img430.imageshack.us/my.php?image=weirdcm6.gif)ne replying to my thing?

[Zhyl]

Because its rubbish.

Practise, practise, practice.

THEN post.

[Revilo]

lol.

Thats a little blunt. and mean, to a newbie.

But people don't HAVE to comment on your work, I know it feels a waste, you spend all that time, and nobody even posts about it, but you haven't reviewed every single pivot you've seen on here, have you?

It isnt great, I have to admit, but everybody starts off badly.

Most of the time.

[Jester]

That pivot is crap. dont post till your better.

Revilo i wont say it again i promise :angel:

I may or may not be able to do this collab if someone gives us summat to do. i might be able to get involved. i might be able to put it all together in flash aswell :)

[dj stick]

[Revilo]

yup! :D

I like the turning into little crosses and jumping into him bit.

[crazyMLC]

no comments on my animation? :(

[Revilo]

Lol.

I didn't particularly like the last one...

I like the first, Because It looks like he punches him and then shoots a beam.

Meh. The second was okay...

[crazyMLC]

Lol.

you like lower quality?

[melonfish]

Badass!!A long time and mine are crap but its funny as hell.How do you add the animations to this post?

[Revilo]

*sigh*

Save pivots as .gifs, go to ImageShack (www.imageshack.us), upload, and use hotlink for forums.

[dj stick]

Why no one listen,oh yeah who won out of me and crazy??

[melonfish]

Thanks My pc want working last night. and ive lost my animation anyway ive just discovered...

[magical trever]

i like everyone pivot i have a question
how long you hade pivot?
me i have hade it for 1 month


edit:i made a new pivot,myself i am not sure if it good or rubbishhttp://img527.imageshack.us/img527/4600/bombslz4.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[Jester]

simple answer to that, rubbish.

practice a hell of a lot more.

[magical trever]

now thats mean i have only hade pivot a month and have to lots of stuff the only reson your saying its rubbish is because your good so to help me give me some tips so i can get better

[crazyMLC]

heres a tip, look for tutorials on DD

better yet, heres a crappy tut i made so you dont have to search

Easing:
Q & A

Q: what is easing?

A: i'll show you in a second ;)


Q: why should i use it?

A: it makes your animations look better.


Q: should i use it in all movments, like when i'm throwing a ball?

A: NO. NO. NO. only use it when you are moving an arm or a leg, etc, not when someone is throwing, but there are ways to make that look smoother. but this ain't the tutorial that info belongs in, thats a phyisics tutorial.

Easing example:

lets see a side-by-side example.
http://img345.imageshack.us/img345/4897/smoothjb3.gif (http://imageshack.us)http://img414.imageshack.us/img414/7480/smootherxl5.gif (http://imageshack.us)
the one on the left is NOT Easing, the movements are: |--|--|--|--|--|--|
the one on the right is Easing, the movements are: |-|--|---|---|--|-|
try it in one of your pivots
:)

Smoothness:

Q: what is smoothness?

A:..... thats...thats... just sad....


Q: why should i do it?

A: it makes your animations look better.


Q: should i use it in all movments, like when i'm throwing a ball?

A: yes. yes. yes. if i didn't say yes, i would DIE.


Q: what about a bullet?

A: that, needs to move fast, dont keep a bullet on for per say, 10 frames. 1-4 is recomended

now easing is acctually what smoothness is, but one thing easing isn't and smoothness is, are movements in an amount of time. you always need to put more frames into a movement than you think, those pivots above in the easing part of the tutorial, those are 7 frames.

now wait, some people might think "7 frames, for just moving an arm?!" Well, yeah.

now here is another side-by-side example, both are easing:
http://img414.imageshack.us/img414/7480/smootherxl5.gifhttp://img197.imageshack.us/img197/4308/smoothererge1.gif (http://imageshack.us)
the one on the right is the correct one, it looks better, dont it? well the one on the right is using 10 frames, the one on the left is using 7.
Left animation: |-|--|---|---|--|-|
Right animation: |-|--|---|---|----|---|---|--|-|
it also matters if you want a movement to be quick or smooth
you also can make diffrent objects move at diffrent rates, it doesn't make your animation choppy to have a slow moving object and a fast moving one.


some people use 3 frames to move an arm up, that doesn't work, to choppy.
example:
http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/6720/choppyod4.gif (http://imageshack.us)
|------|------|
oh the choppyness...

hope my tutorial helped. :D

/end quote

[magical trever]

thanks ill try that just now

edit:i made a basic one i think its a big improvementhttp://img526.imageshack.us/img526/461/newtypeji6.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[Revilo]

try increasing the frame rate, that was a lot smoother than before, but it's too slow.

[Jester]

Crazy is there something rong with you, the main problem with his animations is the lack of frames not the bloody easing....

[magical trever]

now i feel alot better*not*
im not a pro so i have to get used to new pivot animations

edit:i made it fasterhttp://img367.imageshack.us/img367/7303/newwks5.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[Revilo]

No that just happened to be a tutorial he posted on another site. (http://z6.invisionfree.com/theCrazyMLC_Board/index.php?showtopic=20&st=0&#last) If he already made one, then it would make sense to put it here, instead of making a new one.

AND half of that tutorial was on smoothness, which is acheived by more frames, so... ¬_¬

[melonfish]

Imageshack wasnt working for my computer.

[Revilo]

erm... What??

What does that have to do with... anything...?

on a different note:

LUKK NU ANIMAZION!11!

I made a new anim, I think it's ok, but too basic.

http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/9831/48jq3.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[Vaspar]

can you guys give me a good link for pivot beta 3? all the links you guys gave are b0rked, and groups msn doesnt work

[crazyMLC]

look at the bottom of Revilo's signature

[fzz]

pivot 2.25 is better (pivot 3 uses sprites which egts rid of the whole stickman atmosphere)

[Jester]

See, Fzz has got some logic.

Pivot 3 is a downgrade of pivot 2.2.5 and is far worse.

[dj stick]

But i like pivot 3 much better i dont know why but i do.

Should i stay with Pivot of go and use flash.

[Revilo]

pivot!

flash is complicated, and theres a nice li'l community of pivoters here.

I'm not sure if there is a flash thread. Don't abandon us!

'specially when you were getting good.

[Jester]

I use both Lol

[dj stick]

Heres a small animation that i just made,i might continu it

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/8251/newua0.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[Jester]

needs alot of work because i cannot see the onionskin so it makes animating more difficult and your guy jumps forward alot when he starts to run, but keep at it.

[dj stick]

yeah i dont get what the onion skin is used for make a stick of 0 thikness and call it nothing why, i dont get it

[Revilo]

heh.

me neither... ¬_¬

nice animation, but it looks jagged, and I think its too dark.

lighten up a bit!

sorry, I couldn't help it

[crazyMLC]

i dont know what onion skins do either :/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYyZan0Ig5Q

[fzz]

About your video...: if he fired a beam at his head then he wouldnt get sucked in his head would disintergrate secondly , they all look the same two and a half minutes of the same beam....? that was a bit pointless

[dj stick]

So who won??

[fzz]

i prefer yours Dj it has something different than just a fight scene , although u could improve on your walking/ running its good

[Jester]

Yeah DJ wins

[dj stick]

^_^ yay.Im working on a new animation.

[crazyMLC]

how did he win? i think you guys are just favoring him because you hate me.

Fzz. his was just a fight scene. only it had i fight scene that was a "game".
i think he needs to work on blood, stiffness, relaistic movements, smoothness, effects.
i need to work on making longer animations, and smoothness, blood, and maybe stiffness

i think i win.

ask bahamaut to judge :P

[fzz]

Maybe we do dislike you, but thats not affecting are judgement he might need to improve on some things but his idea was original and he didnt have so weird fat pink thing oming out of his foot when he fought...

[Jester]

*sigh*

CrazyMLC He won the PW because his idea was original and imaginative.

yes he may be not as good as 'the almighty, best ever pivoter CrazyMLC' *cough* Sarcasm *cough*

I may dislike you at times but i dont let these kind of things cloud my judgement.

Dj's animation was imaginative, funny and a really good idea.

Yours was really short and the effects were lacking greatly. your movements were stiff and that deducted more points.

And Bahamut has got more important things to to that vote your 2 second animations.

I know whos won because i beat you in a pivot war....im better than you at pivot and ive got more experience. (i dont mean this as gloating im just making a point)

Final Word:

Dj won. You Lost.

[Revilo]

Meh, I think they were about the same...

I know...



I WIN!

yeah, It sucks but the threads occupants decided to vote for Dj stick's. Tough, but life's not fair.

Incidentally, Did I win my pivot war? with xcrusherx??

http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/6690/war1aa6.gif (http://imageshack.us)

i prefer Revilo's, it certainly has a bit more action in it and better physics although crusher x's is quite good

[Jester]

revilo takes the biscuit!

[Revilo]

Yay, I got a biscuit! :D

thanks...

Dj won. You Lost.
no it wasn't, it was only a game, then a fight.

man, you cant take a bad joke, can you? :p

fine.

enh? what?

it wasn't THAT short
lacking effects? his didn't even have effects.
his were stiff too, and in the world, people arent blobs anyway. Its my style.

it wasn't a 2 second animation. :p

that makes no diffrence, even so, its not experience, its taste. even the suckyest pivoteer, or ever someone who hasn't ever touched pivot can be a good judge. alos, you are gloating, and if you think your not, thats how i feel about #2

more than a word. put in an s dude!

[dj stick]

Look can we just shut up about it i dont care who won i just wanted a fight with Crazy MLC but know its an argument about crap!.Crazy you lost big woop it dosnt make any diffrence youll always be a better pivotor than me, even tho i have to improve on a lot of things its about the story line and style and effort you put into a pivot to make it a good one. (did i just say all that)

[xcrusherx]

hei guys new pivot!

[The Grandmaster]

I sense tension between CrazyMLC and Zero...

You should probably battle it out bare fisted.

[Youlikeyams?]

Or we should all get along, RIGHT GUYS? :D
You're both as good as each other.
Accept and animate in harmony.

[xcrusherx]

yes crazy mlc and zero can have a rematch ,it will be cool;)!

[melonfish]

http://E:\Documents\joe's

[Revilo]

... Ok...

another pivot war with CrazyMLC vs. Zero will just stir them up even more...

[dj stick]

Hey yams is back o wait no he's gone.I don't think Crazy MLC and Zero should have another war people will stick up for Crazy and then they'll hste and the exzact same would happen to Crazy if they went to Zero so lets animate nicely.:)

[Jester]

Right.....this is OVER!

Read it carefully O-V-E-R

THE END

FINISHED!

I won my war and Dj won his. thats the end of it.

Now lets all just get animationg becaus ethis is boring me so muh my soul fell out my nose.

the end.

[crazyMLC]

ok, ok. lets get to animtain'...

when hes running he floats and the roll looks kidna bad. he also rolls on the pther guy...so unfortunatly...no...not good. sorry.

[Youlikeyams?]

Now now Zero, give everyone their chance.
It's good for his level of animating, sure there's weakspots in it but he can improve.

The running looks kinda like he's got a spring in his step like he's leaping up. Need to do a bit more with the arms mind, but still, not bad at all. :)

EDIT:credit to bahamunt for dark knight stk

[magical trever]

i would call that flamming also that means i cant do that to anyone and your animation they wouldn't know is he was knocked out without looking

[dj stick]

Ok death that was flamming he wasnt starting a fight with me ok he only used me as a victim to try new things out.

[Revilo]

flamming?

that sounds so stupid. I swear it was flaming last time I checked.

Oh well.

and maybe DFA was using him as a victim! :D doesn't mean he's flaming. And that isn't flaming. AND he wrote it wasn't just to make sure he didn't offend you guys (too much :p).

PS. Go join DJ's forum (look at his sig), it needs members :p

The pistol shoots and then the bullet goes out through the top of the gun and floats for a while... And when It shoots it wobbles a bit I think.

The water colours were a bit odd, but I'll just pin that on the .gif, but maybe it was too choppy, in both senses.

The body should have a li'l bit of bounce when it falls, and it should probably fall flat, one of its arms was still up.

Still quite good.

[crazyMLC]

Ya Rly....
what about my newest one? :P

[xcrusherx]

You might need an msn pass thing.

The one in my sig USED to work...

[Jester]

Dont get Pivot 3 for christ sake!

Pivot 3 is crap compared to 2.2.5...get that its much better...

[Youlikeyams?]

Pivot 3 isn't very good no, I'd stick with v2 if I were you.
As it's a beta it's really glitchy and I find sometimes it refuses to load .piv files altogether - stick with v2.25. :)

[Jester]

see :P

Lol

Keep an eye out for more pivots by me..ive been bogged down with coursework but because its the holidays now and im satyin up all night ill make 1 :P

[Teri]

Ok me and my friend had a Pivot war.. I have it posted on a different forum for people to vote but I thought Id post it here too to let you guys see who you though would win

(mines is the one on the top.. my friends is the bottom one)

Credit to Baha for my strickman and the gun and the spear... and the fuck.... oh adn the Vs Line t the start ~_~

[magical trever]

ANYONE KNOW WHEN PIVOT 3 WILL BE A FULL VERSION AND RELEASED? if its along time :eek: if its soon:) :)

[Jester]

I dont nkow when the full version of pivot 3 will come out but you will have to pay for it...another reason why 2.2.5 is much better.

[the n00b]

I started on Pivot 3. Its very fun, so I made my starting animation.

Can you tell me if its good or not. If its good, thats good. If its bad, I will make a new one. :)

I hope its good. :D

[crazyMLC]

good or not, keep animating. PS: host them on www.imageshack.us or nobody will look at them. an example is me.

[death from abov]

crazyMLC can u give me those stks 4 ground destroy pls

[Jester]

u can make them they are so simple to make...also...Crazy you still need to work on ure movements, in your banana one the movements are off...

And theres no physics on you ground 'explosion' the patricles just fly up in the air

[fzz]

rapid fire is when a gun fires lots of bullets one after the other what you have done would be called Burst Fire where several bullets are fired at once.

and then in your second one the ground doesnt explode it parts... like an earthquake... and why in the first one does the gun just float up in the air..? shouldnt he still be holding it so he could switch on the burst fire...or does it automatically change whilst in mid air

[dj stick]

Hey guy's im not quiting coz when you quit your a failur and im no failur (only at spelling) oh and yeah you'no when every one was saying ''we shold do a collab''

Why don't we do it on falling its easy and every one can do it but it's crap idea

http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/3017/loljv7.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[Jester]

yeah but...whats the poiint in doin a collab...theres about 5 of us...its kinda pointless...

[crazyMLC]

1:Crazy you still need to work on ure movements, in your banana one the movements are off...

2: And theres no physics on you ground 'explosion' the patricles just fly up in the air
1: like which part?

2: so what? its how i do it. i guess i'll edit that in.

man, your a low rater, hot stuff. atleast you think you are :p (i'm not great ether, stop rubbing that in my face...)

[Jester]

im just saying ure movements are off in your bananagun one...he slides his legs dont stop moving...

i think im crap...i dont give a crap....if someone like you said the same thing about my animations i wouldent complain...i would try again...

try and stop complaining and taking peoples advice...you could improve....

[dj stick]

[dj stick]

Well it dosnt matter im doing a really long pivot now and heres the first part of it its a fight test

[magical trever]

that looks very good i like it when the two people go along then start to fight that is really good and what do you think of my new one?

[Jester]

Nice dj your really getting good...
i was going to ask you my little mates..what should i do my next pivot on.

"OOMG Jesters asking for an idea"....not that big a ddeal...i want good suggestions unlike that 'garbage emptying contest' or whatever...

[xcrusherx]

new one, falling style!
http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/309/icanflyev0.gif (http://imageshack.us)
and ,zero ,you can make a fight whit some weapons...

[Jester]

ok that needs a hell of alot of work crusher.

Falling movements are off...and i know its suppose to be like that but they are bad for what its suppose to be. keep trying.

[Youlikeyams?]

Jester, don't be so negatively critical.

Admittedly some movements are a bit off and slightly rigid, but some of your stuff was great like the camera shake at the start. Keep working on movements. :)

[dj stick]

http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/6711/fighttestjd2.gif (http://imageshack.us)


any more reply's or tips befor i carry it on ?? or idea's

[Jester]

the physics are a bit off and the arm movements look a bit odd....but definately carry it on....it would be good.

Sorry about the negativity, i was a bit angry. My parents annoy me.

[dj stick]

thanks here some more carried on

http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/6069/fighttesthy2.gif (http://imageshack.us)

note to self dont make a pivot when half a sleep

[Revilo]

Heh. I do that all the time :p

I have about... three hundred really short & crappy animations on my computer! :D

Anyway, everbody is improving, you're all great, blah blah blah...

The grammar in the thread lately has been killing my eyes... :(

You may be whining about people not accepting critism, but I reckon it's not really fair, most of the time all of the bad points of an animation are being focused on, and none of the good ones.

And DJ, you're a perfectly good animator, quit threataning to quit and shit! :D

[mrjakku]

I used this a good while ago, never did anything half decent though. go me!

[dj stick]

Hey Revilo I thought you wernt coming back (damn lol joke's) nah but i just can't make up my mind to animate with its god damn annoying.

[magical trever]

thanks here some more carried on

note to self dont make a pivot when half a sleep
thats really cool AND ANY COMMENTS ON MY CLIMBING ONE?

[Jester]

The climbing one was a good idea but you need to work on smoothness and realistic movements. other than that its really good idea :)

Ive realised ive been a bit of an ass recently, thats because all my coursework and Work Experience is bugging me. sorry.

[xcrusherx]

im making a new kind of pivot...
my last anims was so speedy... so thats a little bit more slow ;)
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/2481/superfightva7.gif (http://imageshack.us)
the movements are off in some point, i know ,but what do you think?

[Jester]

wow thats quite good.
When he throws the knife he kinda just grabs it then it just apprears in his head, so you could make that better by straightening the arm out as if throwing the knife.

Also work on landing because if someone jumped like that and landed without bending his legs he wold break his knees or something...good work on the spin.

[xcrusherx]

ok ,thx for the hints ,i will post a new pivot soon ,it will be better ;)

[crazyMLC]

i dunno what to call this...
http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/7576/matrixkicklk8.gif (http://imageshack.us)

Holy crap yams...youve made a pivot lol

Lurvin the rubble <3

CrazyMLC you needs physics in your animations...and your kicks look kidna off...i dunno why maybe its just me. :S

But yeah it needs physics...other than that its good.

:O Dj beat my post ^^

The blood looks awesome. perhaps next time just put a bit less purple and make replace it with a darker red...so kind of 2 shades of blood?

Lol death by broom <3

[dj stick]

o.0

yams your affects (rubble + 3d) are awsom you make the stks just right

l need a professional opinion on this is it good?

[edit]ok this is my first il update when i finish

also how do u get colour or is that in pivot 3?

[edit again] never mind il just make a new 1

[Revilo]

Is it your first?? It's ok.

A floor would help, as with almost everyone new, there is no floor so the sticks height its a bit dodgy.

The punches seem to lack any effect, make the arms straighter when it makes contact, and the whole body should move, not just the head. Also, there seemed to be a lot of useless flailing limbs. :p

And I couldn't read the title, if nothing changes in a lot of frames, it just makes it one when you save it as a gif.

Some of the movements were good, and I liked it where the stickman span around :p

So... Could be better, but not too bad! :D

[dj stick]

like revilo said it's good for a first try but dont mak them float add a floot so we know were they are, The part were he spins the man is very good so ill have to give you a 6/10 for effort =)


And here my new one (update yet again) this time working on beams i only have one more trhase to go through and then detail.

floors
smoothness
blood

no, its better now, i dont see how you dont see the difference...

[the only pie]

hi i think it worked...
my first post [woo]

[fzz]

Dj stick, love the blood as zero said bit more variation of red, love the beam and how it dissolves theres a few movements which could be smoother and slightly better physics but all in all your work is about 150% rather than what it was a while back which i would say was about 67.34521% :P

[xcrusherx]

any comments on my last anim?

[Revilo]

The laser moved quite slowly, the teleport could easily look a lot better, and the physics were off.

so it was quite good, I guess, but could be better.

[dark ninja]

New animations!!! (continue...):bb: :bb:

it's good

[Jester]

good animations by all, i like the cannon ball in your last one crusher :P

CrazyMLC i suggest putting more thought into those trails they dont fit very well and the guys reactions to the kicks and the 'Push' as it looks are a bit overdone.

Dark ninja that looks good try and make it longer, and make the blood a little darker, thats like luminous blood :P lol


Im making a new pivot so it should be done soon. Keep up the good work guys.

And its done :)

Thats awsom o5 zer0 5o but i dont get the how did you make that out line ??
he had two of the same stk, and he edited one, make the lines and circles, say... 3 sizes smaller? and he put that over the 2rd stk and colored it white, and made stick #1 one in front.

hi ppl i need ask u 2 things:
1. wen i save some unfinished annimations wen i try and load them back up it tells me either invalid floating point or accses violation at address 0046660
module 000040 and wont let me load them up again

and 2. how do u make thingd like windows and blood ect

[Jester]

are you saving your files as .piv or .gif...u need .piv to open them again

Love the spin! :D

Could make it smoother though. The head of the stickman could bounce or roll away, or explode, but It wouldnt dissapear. The landing was unrealistic, but yeah, It's okay!

Lol. Nice.

Pretty smooth for a first. You'll go far... :p

[cramie10]

yo dudes i am a begginer on the weebls stuff forums but not on pivot
so if i may say so it is quite good :) but it could do with a little work on the arms

what do you think 'bout my new anim?

[Elbowman-iac]

I might come back to do more pivs, but people have gotten too good xD

[Jester]

Blood needs Physics

Thats is a word you need to think about MLC

[Revilo]

Is it just me, or do you seem to be particularly critical about CrazyMLC's pivots?

Though I have to admit the physics were a little off.

EDIT: oops, posted twice! :D

[Jester]

No im not paticularly critical but he misses the most obvious things like physics and doesnt listen to peoples comments.

[The Grandmaster]

Admit it, you are too critical of his pivots :P

[crazyMLC]

No im not paticularly critical but he misses the most obvious things like physics and doesnt listen to peoples comments.
i just dont listen to YOUR comments....

oops.

[Jester]

oh forget this...

dont listen to my comments fine i dont give a crap i might as well leave this place cuz everyones gangin up on me...

[fzz]

ok,
MLC Blood Needs physics that a word you need to think about PHYSICS

Will you listen now or are you going to be ignorant

[Revilo]

Oh for christ's sake...

He doesn't have to listen to the criticism, it might help if he did, but he doesn't have to. You don't have to comment on the pivots.

Not evenyone is ganging up on you, you just have been quite critical lately. One person has agreed, but isn't criticising you, and Crazy MLC retaliated against your comment.

fzz, copying Zero still makes it his comment, and It doesn't appear to be very constructive, more sarcastic.


Ok? Can we get back to making pivots and not arguing now?

[Jester]

ok.

I need a pivot idea.

[xcrusherx]

wow, very good for a second! i like alot the last part.
the movements are quite good .but you must to work on walking.

[Zhyl]

If you guys got together and made a storyboard or something, you could make a long saga that would slowly get better as you got better. Just a thought as this is turning into just non-stop battles which are cool but a bit boring after a while.

[Elbowman-iac]

Ok, here is my Test for my newish Character.

I took the Model from Darkdemon.org, Jin Kazama, added horns, a few minor arm changes, and a CLAW.

http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/3936/devilintrorm8.th.gif (http://img296.imageshack.us/my.php?image=devilintrorm8.gif)

I fucked up the little kicks, but I can edit that later, what did you think of the rest of it?

[Revilo]

I've thought about that but I can never choose which one of my characters. :D

[xcrusherx]

i like the idea of zhyl ,but we must to choose a type of the saga...
anyone have an idea?

Stop using pivot 3....

[Youlikeyams?]

Zero, don't be so critical. It's annoying me a bit.

It's up to you if you want to keep using it, but I find that Pivot 3 is quite buggy in places so I stick to 2.25 :)


It's up to you though.

[Elbowman-iac]

I might use Pivot 2.25 again. Meh.

[Jester]

Just a comment...ill put it a bit less...direct? next time?

[The Grandmaster]

More...nicer, that's all.

[killer5657]

dude all these pivot things rulle, i post one of mine pretty soon...
