The last one is kind of messed up at the laser part. It is really stiff. Thanks for the compliment

I haven't checked this thread in awhile. And yeah the laser part is kind of messed up. Looks like he's falling down. But everything is good as always. =D

Lots of swinging animations.

Well, I've been watching this thread every now and then without commenting, since I don't know a thing about pivot and progamming, but you've improved quite significantly since you started this thread, keep it up!

Wow that last ones really good. The one with the gun is kinda funny and the first one rocks with the flying kick to the face.

The gun one was too test out sprinting and blood.

Another blood test, turned out better.

Yep. It was better. Good job. =D

Here is a little help with easing and physics. Easing is the acceleration, not starting at full speed, and deceleration, or slowing down before stopping.

Each color is the distance traveled in one frame. Max speed is towards the middle of the animation.


Here's it without the lines.


That's boring without cirles, so lets look at a stickman.

Eased


Not eased


Stiffness

Stiffness is when a joint isn't moving enough, usually not at all. To avoid stiffness, try to move every joint in every frame.

Not so Stiff

Very loose

Physics

Physics has to do with momentum and gravity mostly.

The momentum tides into easing. Take another look at this animation. The ball can't just stop. It's momentum carries it slowly and gradually to a stop.



Gravity also tides into easing. When something is falling, it starts out slow, and then speeds up until it hits the ground. The further away from the ground, the slower the object will go. Also, if a ball falls on the ground, it will bounce right? When making something bounce, it doesn't get eased going up. When a ball hits the ground, it shouldn't slowly go up. It gets eased going down, and when it is at its highest point.

Force

Force brings more power into attacks. To get more force, you use very heavy spacing.

Here is an example of force on a punch.

Overeasing, no force

Lots of force.

A full body with lots of force


A full body with not force

Full body at full speed with lots of force

I don't really like this anim, and I am too lazy to make a new one. When punching have lots of anticipation, don't go real quick like this:


This punch has lots of force, and anticipation, and is eased well.

Here is the very stiff arm:

Lol, forgot to signout. I hope I could help. This is my short-version of a tut on Stickpage, if you need more help, and have time to read a LOT, look at this one.
