Pivot - Taking Stick Men to the next Dimension!

[grundoko]

hey can someone please tell me WHERE CAN I FIND A PIVOT WALKING TUTORIAL PLEASE

ps: TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND A PIVOT WALKING TUTORIAL

[Grahum]

yeah well its still damn good anyways heres a new animation called postbox parodies and one called pyramid
40428

[Teri]

Made a new one ^_^


Oh yeah credit to FrozenFire550 for the guy with the scythe and the scythe itself

[Grahum]

That only happens if you use pivot 3 beta ( and the finished version by the looks of it ) but thats supposed to be 4 frames per second




if you could do that, you would have to give credit and people would call you a thief ( a bit more than if you just use someone elses sticks )

{doublepost}

biscuits about your "hero" (thats what i call the guy that is killing everybody)
his leg bends foward as if its broken when he kicks that guy. its impossible unless its broken/dislocated.
Yeah i agree with that and maybe if possible you could only use animations that YOU had created

[Biscuits]

GO me!!!! woooo!!! im getting very good at this i think, anyway heres my 3rd animation, its much better then the last one much much better. yes and credits to darkdemon.org for the weapons. Comments/Reviews please.

[grundoko]

Can Someone Please Tell Me Where I Can Get A Pivot Walking Tutorial. Omg I Really Cant Animate Walking

[Grahum]

grunduko go to page 206 the tutorial helps:)

Biscuits i gotta say your 3rd one is acctually a half good job lol well done keep up the gd work

[Biscuits]

Ah thanks, anyway i wonder what i should do for the next one, oh well, ill come up with sumthing :p Anyhoo, if anyone needs blood tutorials, come to me, lol, cause i have an easy n quick way

[Pickle Face]

I've finished the first three episodes of my very first Stick Pivot Series called Rising Death, I'll edit and post it later. It's not very good, I'll warn you that, but it is like my fourth Pivot so bare in mind.

any comments?

[Pickle Face]

lol good one Bad Pivoter, it's smoothe and his arm moves correctly but how did the sword turn upside-down and move to the left??? Physics are a little low, but other than that it was good. It's the last two days before Christmas so I'm basically killing all of my free time on Stick Pivot lol.

[Revilo]

I just found this while looking through my old pivots. It doesn't seem too bad, So I decided to show you guys. :D

you should be in beginners, dont use too much smilies and no text speak

also you need to attach the gif. because you dont have 15 posts

pivoter, try to bend the arms as he hits the sword up. its your best one so far in my opinion

[grundoko]

Hey buscuits i need a blood tutorial. can u pm me or somtin

[Cory_Best]

Ya know, I was checking out this forum the other day and decided to become a member so that I can post my stuff too. I just a moment ago had a spark of something go off in that thing on the top of my neck, and realized that "pivot" was a program not another way to say stick figure art. I'm sure I will be getting to designing away later, but for now I want to post what I did the other day. I can't say that it's my first "pivot", but I can say that it was my first design of stick figure animation. I managed to use a combination of MS Paint and a program called GIF construction set 3 to build this custom gif for my "shade tree" (for now) web design aspect of life.
Enjoy, and please let me know what you think. :)
DAMN IT!!!! Now I find out that I can't post it yet. I need to make more posts b4 I can add a URL. I'll be back later to put it on here, or if ya REALY wanna see it, just go to artklassreptiles .com/ testarea .html and look at the bottom of the page. In case you don't know, take out the spaces.

OK, I can't hold it any longer, I gotta go!!!!!! instal pivot that is. That and I really need to make more posts so that I can be able to post my pivots as I build them

[a bad pivoter]

eh?!?!?

and how do you like my sig?

:) and Merry Christmas Everyone! :)

[Cory_Best]

I know, I know....... It's cheesy as hell, but trust me, it's MUCH more dificult drawing out each indivdual image than it is to use Pivot.
Oh, and no offense, but ur signature appears to a bit low rent. Hey, you asked.

[a bad pivoter]

alright then. lets see YOU do quality blood like that. and like the one in this

Man, you guys all rock. I've made some Pivots but they were from when I first started with the program (me and my buddy James, he told me about the program and we spent three hours making a Stick Pivot with elephants and people dying, it was really funny)

I'll try and get some up, I've been kinda busy.

[Jester]

:O Dj i didnt see that post when i logged in last time, really good pivot, movements could be better but i like the beamy shiney effect that looks real nice. very well done.

[Shkaa887]

there is a problem with pivot 3 beta

some of my sprites dont work and they come out orange and blue ?!?!


plz help me...........



PLEASE ! ! !

:ultra:
:notworthy
:bb:

[Vercci]

Thats why its called BETA, its not the final version

as for the sprites coming out blue and orange, that happens when you turn the pivot into a gif. file. they dont have all the colours hence dj complaining earlier about the colours being screwed up

EDIT:http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/954/daggertailperfectedbo7.gif

[Teh_ME!]

http://www.filecram.com/files/Boredom.gif

=D

[Vercci]

nice job. but theres a fault at the end. just after the backflip. its a frame skip. either insert a frame in there or if its just a gif. glitch, the next time you save it. turn off merge.

Awesome job otherwise :D

[pivot007]

Yeha thats kidna choppy, but considering how long uve been gone thats quite good, very gd infact, welcome back m8.

[J E S S I E emo]

i heard pivot 3 beta is an incomplete version of pivot with tons of bugs in it

do u know where i can download a newer version like pivot 2.25 or pivot 3.1

i had pivot 2.2(sucks) and i made some good animations on it but i had to delete so i could get easy toon(sucks) so i deleted easytoon and i want to get back in to pivoting but i need a better version of pivot so someone please
send me a url

[Vercci]

pivot 3 isnt out ( finished ) yet hence the beta ( with lots of bugs in it because it isnt finished yet ). google pivot 2.25 if you want it

[J E S S I E emo]

i seached on google and it kept giving me a lesser more crappy version of pivot

what version of pivot do u have

.... i like how ppl r helping me

im gonna post one of my pivots eventually but i dont know how.Iwent to file cram.com and got the code but it wont let me post it becus i need to posts i5 posts which is really gay but yea :)

[death from abov]

the so called crappy version is better because its a full version ,no bugs, and your animations appear smoother in it

vercci are u gunna enter yours or what?

[J E S S I E emo]

im having trouble getting back into the groove with pivot(that was stupid)
i usually do good by my animations r really chunky now

[stick doctor]

ive been working on models for my assassin movie 2 at present but still no ideas im completely open . any ideas attall even if its silly you never know it may spring ideas in my heads and who ever gave me an idea will be mentioned in the credits:


also if anyone has a decent looking stickman with easy movable legs and preferable a double back joint can they please pin it here in zip file or send it to mem on msn my msn is
viper_halo@hotmail.com

and here is my first gun model and bullet and shooting test:--

for a few people new to pivot heres the link to 2.25
which i find my personal best seen as sprites and stuff are okay but they take the good looks out of hard work . so this is what i use
http://www.snapfiles.com/download/dlstickfigure.html

[Grahum]

Stick Doctor how about an assasian sent to eliminate a snitch on the local mobs activities but his office building is heavily guarded and the assasian has to infiltrate it and if u download the characters stk pack from darkdemon.org

That heli soooo looks like Tiberian Sun's Orca Bomber

[Grahum]

J E S S I E

when you upload Pivots don't use links to your computer because we can't get there. Use www.Imageshack.us if it's a .GIF or i think theres another called pivot place or something if it's a .PIV file

[J E S S I E emo]

oh srry and thanks alot but i still need some gears of war figures

[Vercci]

Gears of war is quite recent, Remember there may not be any made yet.

I'd make you one but i cant promise absolute quality ;). post the picture of the one you want me to make ( if you want :)).

The second one made me laugh. :D

[J E S S I E emo]

srry about it being so small i`ll resiaze the next ones i put up

this is a pivot that ive been workin on for awhile and its actually pretty old so it might not be that good

http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6859/daggergifal1.th.gif (http://img444.imageshack.us/my.php?image=daggergifal1.gif)

it wont let me resize it so once agin srry if its too small

[Vercci]

Jessie, in your pivots i noticed that your people are tiny
is that because you resize the gif. or because you like small people
( Im going to get started on those 2 people but my little brother is on the computer with pivot right now )

anyway, Im going to make those guys a bit tall so you might have to change their size ( that bar that says 100 on the side ) to suit your pivot style

Death from abov, if you are reading this Im working on the pivot but I havent been able to work on it much lately.

[edit] Revilo's back YAY!! ( if you look back the thread has been lacking in Rev, MLC, and crusher ( also back :D)

thanks.No they`re from two different games but i thought that the red one looked like something off of gow and my pivs r so small becuase it wont let me resize it and one more time srry if there to small

They are both a little on the small size, and in the first one the running up the wall makes it look a bit odd, but otherwise awesome!

yea the wall running is a little out of place but its gonna have 2 parts in the cutscenes(unfinished)

i wish a chimp would apear by his bed while he`s a sleep and do that

[SUGOWL]

How do I convert a pivot file (specifically PAF {Pivot Animation Files}) into flash animation :confused: so I can put it into an HTML file as a kind of hyperlink from an HTML to an other file on my computer...

Let me clarify--

since I don't have an actual webpage, I just Link pages on my computer to other pages on my computer...:confused:

EX: Table layout.html with a link to an other page that will display my pivots in flash animation

[Jester]

why not just save as a .gif and host on imageshack? then get that HTML file.

Also everyone shut up and stay on the topec...pivot..not monkeys.

[dj stick]

yay most good people are coming back i hope.
Any ways J E S S I E emo i think you should work on you animations a bit first they go smooth and slow the fast the slow and choppy again its really not very good since people wont get whats going on.
Also jester could you send me that link for drowned bacon.

im working on an animation rightnow(its kinda old)and i`ll post it if i ever finish it

[Extremity]

I have one ready. Just waiting for your crazy 15 post rule thing

YOU BEST BE READY FOR THIS!!!

[Jester]

Pivot 3 is safe but its full of bugs and freezes so you sould lose your pivotings.

i suggest using 2.2.5 no bugs, no loss :)

[Grahum]

Hey yall this is a wee animation tht i made let me know waht u think

[Grahum]

What do you think

[Extremity]

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k249/ChrisUzi/Imadethistoo.gif

Took me about an hour to make... It looked easy :(

[fzz]

Extremity pivot is really easy compared to other animtion programs. it just takes practice...that was good for a start, over time youll get used to it anddevelop skills to make smoother anims.

[Vercci]

Grahum, that sig one is too big for your sig
also in your randum one, its choppy and as he is falling it jumps up for a moment

[Jester]

its the signature stick, not for his actual signature >.>

[Korteck]

Hey guys, I just joined the forum last night. I found my way here due to the stickman.
I downloaded Pivot yesterday morning and I think it's an awesome little program.
I made my first gif with it today. It took me about 6 hours because I was learning how to use it at the same time.
You guys have made some sweet little animations with this thing and I'm looking forward to sharing them with you.

I originally wanted this to be my sig, but it turned out a little too big.
EDIT: I have to make 15 post before I can upload a pic :(

P.S. I have version 2.2.5 dated 20/7/2004
Is this the latest version of the program?
Thanks

[J E S S I E emo]

Yes and no.It`s the latest working program.The latest program is pivot 3 beta but its unfinished and has alot of bugs so u have the best version rightnow

[Vercci]

Jessie thats for you, its not finished yet but just so you can have something while you wait.

Jessie thats for you, its not finished yet but just so you can have something while you wait.

thanks:D.It looks pretty good so far I cant wait(I`m serious though i cant wait i keep looking for GoW figures and i cant find any but please take your time and dont rush)

Here is a small Throwing/explosion test animation that I`m working on(It`s not finished)tell me what you think

I think the throwing part is to slow but I`ll fix that later

[Korteck]

Yes and no.It`s the latest working program.The latest program is pivot 3 beta but its unfinished and has alot of bugs so u have the best version rightnowThanks. That's good to know.

[J E S S I E emo]

Here is the finished throwing/explosion test animation.The explosion isnt that good because its one of my firsts but I`ll work on it

[img=http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/5325/throwingexplosiontestgidn0.th.gif] (http://img479.imageshack.us/my.php?image=throwingexplosiontestgidn0.gif)


So what do you think?

[Extremity]

Woah..

[Korteck]

Cool model Jessie. I wonder if people can share models with each other? I bet they can be sent through a native file... huh?

EDIT: Okay, I've got my 15th post, so now I can post pics.
Here's my very first Pivot. As I said, it took the better part of the day to make because I was learning the program at the same time.
You'll notice that it looks like he's kneeling to pray at the start. Well, he isn't. I was going to have him duck down and go under the first letter "K," but then I realized I had made a mistake.
I used my own pre-made background instead of the included letters that came with the program. Thus, he wasn't able to go behind it.

I'm using this as my sig in another forum. It's too big to use here.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r101/korteck/pivot/KORTECKman.gif

I'll be glad when the next version is released. I found it difficult to manage the frames due to them not being numbered. I spent a lot of time hovering the cursor over the frames to see which one they were.

EDIT: Please let me take this opportunity to ask you guys a question.
You know how in the edit page, you can shorten and lengthen the segments? I would like to be able to do that to an already fixed model on the main screen.
It would be helpful if I could shorten his lower leg for instance. This would make a better visual perspective as he's climbing.
If you're looking at him face to face, he can't raise one foot just 6 inches off the ground without it making him bowlegged.
Do you know what I mean?
Am I missing something maybe? Is there another way to achieve that perspective? Thanks.

[Revilo]

You can't, unfortunately.

If you want to shorten his leg, you have to edit the stick, shorten it, then add it to the animation. If you want to shorten it more, you have to repeat that.

Most people just show it from the side to avoid that. It's a lot easier, and it can still look good. :D

Also, I think you may have to pay for Pivot version 3. I have no reliable sources though... Anybody know for sure??

[dj stick]

yes you have to pay for Pivot v3.
Need an idea.
For pivot or EZtoon

[Korteck]

Thanks Revilo. I've heard the beta is full of bugs. Can someone who has it verify that or not?
Also, will beta 3 overwrite this version or can you keep them both?

[J E S S I E emo]

you can keep them both and as far as i know it doesnt have any bugs

[Korteck]

Oh wait a minute Revilo... you mean that an individual selected segment can be edited alone.
I did not know that, but that makes sense.
I thought the edit page was just for pre making the models.
Well that's going to be a big help. Thanks a lot.

That's fantastic Jessie. I'll download it tonight. One more thing though.
Are there some new features that make the beta better? Haha...beta better

[rocko213]

wow, havn't been here in a whillleeee. Does ilikeyams still come here? ok, anyways, i gotten back into pivot recently, so i decided to whip some 30 minute something up for the hell of it.

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/2453/headbuttck1.gif (http://imageshack.us)

Not bad rocko,im not exactly sure but i think the steps are a bit off.

[Grahum]

Jessie your animations are really coming on hey guys every time i got to upload an animation i get slapped with an error saying it exceeds the 200.0KB limit is there anyway around this

[Vercci]

Grahum, you attach your gifs right?. I just checked your profile and you have more than 15 posts, you can post images/web adresses now so go to http://img274.imageshack.us/ and host your gif. file there. then copy the text in the box that says something like Hotlink for forums [1].and paste the text here

[Korteck]

Hey guys, I downloaded the beta version last night and it's pretty cool. The only thing is, I'm not familiar with sprites. I've read up on them today and I think they're transparent pictures. I can make and save my own transparent pictures as PNG's in photoshop, but I'm sure the animator wouldn't accept them. They only accept BMP and JPG's.
So what's the deal with sprites? Are they kinda like what's used in the show South Park?
Someone please fill me in.
Thanks

[Revilo]

Any JPG or BMP can be used as a sprite, I think.

It's there to give you the option of importing pictures into animations, as weapons, backgrounds, effects, all kinds of stuff, With the benefit of being more detailed, coloured, and having fancy shapes. :D

Most pivoters tend not to use sprites, they look quite sloppy, and sometimes they can cause errors (for me they did...), and wouldn't let me save my animations.

For example, if you wanted, say, a bottle of coke. It would take a long time to make it the right shape using the stick editor, and it could take even longer if you decide to try and colour it. This could be made a lot easier by finding a picture of a bottle of coke and importing it.

Dunno why you would need a bottle of coke though.


I'm not too sure about the transparency thing though. They don't NEED to be transparent, but I'm sure I've used a transparent one before...

[Korteck]

If you cut out a picture and save it as a BMP or JPEG, it won't have transparency. It'll be on a white background.
A white background would probably be fine as long as it didn't obstruct any other images on the screen.
Am I on the right track here?

[Vercci]

I found out about that, when you use a sprite the animator makes it transparent, the transparent colour is determined by the bottom left pixel.I'l post an example soon

[edit] here it is

Was quickly animated so sorry about poor movement

http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/1926/demosk1.gif

[Korteck]

I found out about that, when you use a sprite the animator makes it transparent, the transparent colour is determined by the bottom left pixel.I'l post an example soonHaha, I was just about to write: "I finally figured it out. You just cut out an image, save it as a BMP or JPG, and when you load it into the program as a sprite, the program removes the BMP or JPG background and it becomes transparent again."
Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Hey check this out. I just preformed a little test of the sprites too, and you can do something like South Park.
I made this little guy up in photoshop just now. He's completely made up of sprits.
If someone wanted to do a south park type animation, they could use a paint program for the characters or even use real life celebrities.
A person could forget about stickman altogether (if they wanted to) and just use the program for this kind of animation.
I think that a combination of south park type sprits animation and pivot special effects could create anything that south park can do... in theory anyway.
Pretty cool huh

Get that pivot out of your sig now, thats stupidly massive you twat...

[Grahum]

Hey shut it i didnt realise it would be that big you stupid arse

and dont call me twatboy ya fanny

[Jester]

You didnt relaise it would be that big...you could see how big it was...it was friggen huge...

[Korteck]

Not really, people know you can do this stuff, its not like your the genious who realised it one day...also, those sprites seriously look like Ms paint.Chill dude. I wasn't implying that I invented the process. I also wasn't speaking for every pivot user here, only talking to a couple of guys who were here last night.
As far as the MS paint comment... if you had adequate comprehension skills, you would have realized that it was only a test and not an entry in an art contest.
Perhaps the words "only a test" should have clued you in. :rolleyes:

Okay, here's my second pivot. "The Circus."
I know it's really choppy and amateur but it's a work in progress. I think it shows a lot of improvement over my first one, the Korteck sig.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r101/korteck/pivot/TheCircus.gif

[J E S S I E emo]

i like the blood but instead of emideatley(<--Sorry i cant spell) making it splattered you should show it flying from him and then splattering everywhere

[Biscuits]

Ah hello everyone, im back!!! I apologise for being away for so long, anyway i must get back to work on stick man slaughter episode#4, Chao.

[Vercci]

Its ok korteck, its really choppy and movements are off. You need to work on them.

biscuits the pivot in your sig is too big.

and everyone else, I've just read past last page, calm down, For people who are back in school and thus feeling a lot of stress and a need to vent it , try to keep it out of here. ( If you really need to get rid of it, make a thread in the chzbn ).Lets get back to pivot now ok?

I will post one in a few minutes ( I have to go with my mom to a store right now)

( death from abov, im still making the pivot but i've ran into a few problems with it and second, i've joined your forum :))

[Grahum]

Hey korteck i thought that was great and vercii thx for helping me get my animations on here again

Zero shut the hell up okay im sure tht the ppl on this forum thingy dont want to listen to us fight so plz just shut up

[sam dude]

i like this thread its cool

i am really rubbish at this so i would like
afew more plusses but you dont have

some parts are a bit choppy but I think it looks pretty good so far

Hate to tell you this but its all choppy and stiff...sorry, im very anoyed at my parents atm...

[Korteck]

Thanks for the encouragement guys. And Jessie... you're a pro at this thing!
sam dude, are you going to put something in your target and shoot it?

[Jester]

Hes a long way from being pro...he is improving tho...

Thanks for the encouragement guys. And Jessie... you're a pro at this thing!
sam dude, are you going to put something in your target and shoot it?

actually i`m not that good i`ve been working on getting better though

Hey can someone make me a sig i dont know how to make one

[Jester]

The beam looked alright, but it looked kindof silly and misplaced without something like a charge. also the spikey bits dont look very well placed, apart from that its fairly good.

[Grahum]

:) Jessie you acctually are really good at this id consider u as a pro

[Korteck]

Hell yeah he's a pro, and obviously Vercci is too.
There's absolutely nothing "silly" about that clip either.
It's sweet!

EDIT: Hey Jessie, I'm a paint enthusiast. I photoshop a lot of sigs. It's too bad that this forum has such tight restrictions on their size. That really hinders what you can do with them.
Sigs are also very personal things. In my paint forum, I've seen guys make other people beautiful sigs and the person not like them.
If you give me some details like the size, a theme and some colors, I'll give it a shot. If you're really picky about colors, you can post what colors you like for an exact match.
Here's one I recently made for myself. I animated it just for kicks.

[Biscuits]

Ah finally its done, Stickman Slaughter episode #4. And yes i know, its pure garbage, but oh well. I also might aswell put a blood tutorial here.(i got it offa google) http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/6633/stickmanslaughterepisodjx2.gif (http://imageshack.us)

Anyway heres the tutorial, (sorry i couldnt put in any images, ill get around to it one day)

O.K., First choose a color for the blood, Make it a bit darkish red. Ok now go into the stick figure creator thingy. Now make a series of lines as long as you want but not to thick. ok now put them at the area of the blood coming out.
-Ok next frame-
Move them so the back of the lines are touching the front of the gray bit from the last frame. Ok now cut the size in half, Eg. If it was 100 put it at 50.
-Next Frame-
Now just do the same thing, and this time it will become 25.
-Next Frame-
Ok now put it at 10, you can choose to delete it now or when you get to five.

And your done! ok yes a garbage tutorial, im very sorry. Ill make a more detailed one when i get around to it. Credits to darkdemon.org for the veichles and the Detailed guy.

[Korteck]

Biscuits, I think that's pretty darn good. It's very expressive.

I was messing around just now and made this sig for you Jessie.
Don't feel pressure to use it. I didn't put a lot of time in it.
I'm sure it's too big to use here anyway. I don't know how to optimize
and compress a pic without making it look like crap.

Hey jessie mate, that was really good! But one thing you shoulda done, is, put blood where the battleaxe hit the guy, other then that it was great, keep up the good work! ;)

[J E S S I E emo]

yeah i`m not good with blood but i`ll try to work on it

[Biscuits]

Well jessie, if you like my blood you can use it if you want, i put a tutorial up the top with blood from the tutorial in the animation.Anyway on better news, im up to #9 on 100 ways to die! Woohoo!

[Grahum]

Biscuits i agree with korteck your last animation was expressive and Jessie i feel that your animations coming on at a great speed of knots anyone intrested in doing a joint animation?

[darkdrake]

hi im new and cool pivots

hi have any of you guys seen mr stabby 4

[Korteck]

Welcome darkdrake and hey fellow piviotnites. I'm finally learning to edit. I thought you had to start the next frame after each edit and that was a pain in the butt. I finally realized today that you can edit all you want without doing that. Anyway, I've been able to clean up my stupid circus... clip (don't know what they're called) quite a bit, and I should be able to post it by tomorrow.

I have a question. How do you use the repeat feature in the beta version? I tried to figure it out and I'm sure it's simple enough to use, but I just can't.
Thanks

[darkdrake]

why did you like yams quit

[Grahum]

korteck wer it says repeat I THINK you enter the number of frames you want to be repeated but im not sure nd hey darkdrake u been using pivot for long?

[darkdrake]

http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/3891/piv1po7.gif (http://imageshack.us)

i need to work on the walking dont i

i dont think its the best pivot ive done

http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/2791/chuclp8.gif (http://imageshack.us)i dont think its the best pivot iev done

[Korteck]

korteck, I THINK you enter the number of frames you want to be repeated but im not sureYeah, I just can't figure out exactly how it works. This morning I input a number consistent with half of my frames. It seemed to replay about half of my frames and then it paused for a few seconds before resuming play.
I'm going to do some experimenting with it today and try to understand it completely.
If it allows you to set a particular number of frames anywhere in the list to repeat, then that would be very helpful for editing. I spend way too much time traveling up and down the frames bar looking for the frame I need.
I still wish the individual frames were numbered better. Hovering the cursor over the frames just doesn't cut it. I'd like to see the main viewer numbered with the corresponding frame numbered above. Then we could edit at a glance.

[Biscuits]

O.K, Darkdrake, Ill give you a small tip on walking, try and make it so they run when they walk, or in other words, make it in one frame both of his legs are above ground, and then only one offa ground, Anyway im sure youll get it ;)
Oh and guys, Heres a sample of one of my ways to die in 100 ways to die!!!

(You must watch all 100 to find out what happens next)
And trust me, when im done, its gonna beB.I.G

[Biscuits]

Yup ok grahum, but whats it gonna be about?

[Grahum]

Well i was thinking we could do a sort of stickman slaughter movie now look what ive made is crap but its a 1st draft ill recreate it later and make it better
Ill need your msn

[Biscuits]

Well actually its yahoo and its pie_rocks_your_world@yahoo.com.au

hmmm but ok stickman slaughter eh? sounds good, cuz i have a hell of a lotta wepons and veicheles, and i can do the blood if you want. but yes, sounds great

ok ive sent u it via e-mail if u do some tonight and then ill do some tomorrow but for now i have to go toodle pip

[J E S S I E emo]

that animation is good and korteck you should go to droidz.org they have alot of pivot stick figures and animations to inspire you

[Vercci]

Nice job rev but what was that round thing he threw?

[Biscuits]

I belive that was a bag of money, vercci.

[dj stick]

Nice Job! Revilo nice to see you again.
that animation was brillent not alot problems keep it up, cant wait to see more

I think i might get in the groove of pivot again.

[Vercci]

that doesn't happen in the beta 3 version of pivot, once you click another frame, it updates the one you were editing.

[Korteck]

Vercci, you're right after all. See, here's where I got messed up.
The control handle of the tail of an elephant had gotten off screen and I had let it remain stationary for too long. When I went to edit it, I had to use the center feature to pull the whole elephant back in and readjust it's tail.
I think that's where the problem came in. While putting the elephants main body back into position, I must have been using the onion skins which I had made during the previous edits and not the original onion skins.
So I think you're right after all. Good man

I'm going to delete my other post above you because it'll just cause more confusion. :rolleyes:

[Niamhel]

i must admit, i could never make my own animation, so i think everyones are class :)

:eng101: Not really. The Gunshot had no blood, and it didn't even point at his head. The gun appears and disappears, as does the knife, the bending down seems unnatural, the guy who is being stood on doesn't move at all until he is shot, and I made the running speed up far too much at the very end. :rolleyes:

Not a great job if I say so myself... :D

Hey bad pivoter i havent seen you in god knows how long... so whats news? oh and me and grahum dont know each other in answer to your question.

biscuits the animation is nearly done
ive done the credits but im doing one more scene after and yes u r in the credits lol

Ok cool, but theres one thing left to do, the big final war battle, i want you to do it, ive done enough already.

I think so :).

And grahum, stop trying to pick a fight. Thats why he may APPEAR to be grumpy. He isn't angry like that all the time. ( Im not trying to bite you but seriously, LET IT DIE )

archbishop_josh First do some work get your walking right.
then try running.

also, that joint animation is ok, but it has some weird movements.

[Korteck]

I think Grahum and Biscuts' joint venture was very successful! Some of the backgrounds were great. Especially the green mountains with the dark shading applied. That was very professional looking.
I also liked the way the blood was smeared along the wall in a couple of scenes. Good job guys. I hope you do another soon.

Also, a few pages back, some of us were discussing the repeat feature in the beta 3 and trying to figure out exactly how it works. I know most of you already know this but here's the answer for those who don't.
It has nothing to do with play back at all. It simply allows you to set the number of times a single frame will repeat. No more need to insert dozens of matching frames manually.
I had to do a destructive restore on my computer yesterday and lost everything. When I re-downloaded the pivot beta this time, it came with a different read me file which explained it. I just thought I'd mention it.

P.S. The clip just above has some nice foot work too!

[Niamhel]

i really do love this thread :)

[death from abov]

dark drake what are you doin minusin me for my recent ani when u can hardly make them jump
stop abusing the rep dood:mad:

Well thanks anyway dude biscuits i think we should do another
but this time with a story line

[Jester]

Im not angry all the time...that was waaaay in the past..move on...

[GungHo]

Do the unwritten rules not apply in this thread or something? This is the most consistently incomprehensible thread on these forums, which is kinda bad seeing as it's one of the besterest.

So please keep posts properly written. That's all though, keep up the good work otherwise. :) It's always fun to see more pivoters, and it's always annoying when they end up more skilled than me. :p

[Grahum]

well sorry man but i lost reputation coz of u u cood of jst sed it wad too big nd i wood have changed it

[Biscuits]

Hmm cool another joint eh? awesome. Anyway guys thanks for the comments, you all rock!

[Revilo]

well sorry man but i lost reputation coz of u u cood of jst sed it wad too big nd i wood have changed it

Did you pay any attention at all to the post above you?

Didn't think so... :rolleyes:

[Korteck]

Have any of you tried the animation program called tisfat? I downloaded it the other night and tried it out.
If it weren't for all the horrendous bugs, it would be a pretty cool animator. It's very simple to use too.
It calculates all the steps between your start and final positions so you don't have to animate them yourself.
It's kind of like flash in that way.
I can't recommend it though. It's very buggy.

On another note, Grahum, let me suggest you do what I did. Because of the rude, obnoxious, and immature way a certain unnamed member greeted me when I first visited this thread, I put him on ignore. This way I'm not bothered by his constant negative remarks. It's made this thread much more enjoyable to read.
Besides, if I want to hear nothing but negative criticism, I'll visit my mother.

[death from abov]

revilio do you want to do a joint cause at the moment this forums at a stand still and i am horribbly bored
we can also compare it to grahams new one if he makes it:)

[Biscuits]

Well no no rust but it aint a great piv either. the physics are invisible and the moves lack power...

Hmm, am i boasting lets think..."(im not boasting)" that might have been your clue....

Im not even gonna say welcome back with a returning post like that...grow up a bit...please

[Grahum]

Zero he was having a laugh

[Jester]

Not with me he isnt...

[Grahum]

well it looked like he was

[crazyMLC]

Grahum is right, young one... *cough* sorry, had a fur ball.

and i wasn't going for physics, only smoothness. i can improve it right now.

[fzz]

Grahum you dont need to comment on everything what they have against each other is there business , i cant say i like Mlc but i dont do what your doing. Just leave them be.

[crazyMLC]

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8859/short25bi.gif (http://imageshack.us)
dun dun dun...

and Zero, not every animation NEEDS physics, its not like its real life, i can animate whatever i want ^^

(and i know you complain about me because i'm catching up to your animating abilities :P)
/stops boasting.

[Jester]

You need ot improve the physics on the animation and the reactions of the man, not the colour...

[crazyMLC]

i did improve physics, i edited it so he dont stop in mid air, and i upgraded reactions :p

look at the head punch :D

and did you look at what i WROTE? it seems you only look at the animation, plus you never point out the good parts in it. Telling whats good is also crucial in constructive criticism, (i am not sure is that what you are trying to do) because then you dont know what you did right, and if to do it again.

[dj stick]

Well i guess welcom back Crazy.
And just to say hi i think ill make an Piv.

[Grahum]

is anyone intrested in appearing in me and biscuits joint jackarse movie

[Jester]

im not complaining your catching up...and all you wrote on that post when i first looked at it was "dun dun dun", thankyou for pointing out the head reactions by the way i can now see that it jerks, so perhaps sort that out :P
