After seeing jdogg's animation thread, I decided to download Pivot and give it a try.

I'm new at this, but it turned out better than I had expected. If anyone wants to try to make a better one about anything, go ahead, and feel free to post the results here.

I don't remember where I downloaded Pivot, but you should be able to find it through Google. It's a simple and FREE program.

Okay click the Image button, delete the "http://" in the box that will come up after you click it and paste http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/4390/medatationforarmors.gif into it.

That should work.

It sure did, latpasko. I've always thought meditation was dangerous. Same with exercise, healthy food and fresh air.

Anyways! Here's another animation I call "Playing With Blocks".

TINMOCC is my YouTube username, and stands for "This Is Not Made of Cheese Creations".

Why did I use my YouTube username? Well, because I uploaded it there too! With music! Music I made with a program called Mario Paint Composer!
Here it is

Gaboloth, .mp4 files aren't really images, so I don't think you can post them on AG.

Anyways, I was playing around in Mario Paint Composer again, and decided to put music to the animation with the weird background. The one Prometheus complained about.

Here it is.

Okay, I used Stykz and GIMP for this one. It's not really funny and do to how GIFs process or something it looks like he's running in slow motion. This also makes it choppy.

Whoa, that shotgun is HUGE!

Anyways, I haven't been doing much animating today. Instead I've been playing with Mario Paint Composer. My latest work is putting background music to my dancing dinosaur.

Here it is.

Wow nice but can I ask you how can you draw a curve in pivot? Did you use the pro version?

I didn't make a curve, I made several straight lines, and then I angles each a little. You can use the "Statis / dynamic segment" button to make a line static, so you can't grab it once the figure has been loaded. That way there wont be a billion red dots all over your figure.

Oh thanks I think the static function will be useful
Another question: is there a way to draw several lines in a row without reclicking the line button every time?
Thanks

I don't think so. That's why I prefer to do my drawing in Paint, then use Load Sprite.
