Okay, I just made another animation. This time, it's a stickman playing a practical joke on another.



Enjoy.

Those of you who don't like practical jokes and/or cacti might prefer seeing some zombie slaying.

It's a short version which I might extend another time, if I find the patience/energy/will/monkey who took my elbow. Sorry, a bit tired and my sense of humor went to sleep hours ago, that's why the monkey's there...

Here it is anyways.

I decided to record when I did a short animation, and turn it into a tutorial. You can find it here.

Just for anyone intrested...there are otherways of animating with stick figures rathen than just in Pivot or Stykz. Although, it is much harder, and good results are hard to find.

This is an example of something basic and (rather fail) stick figure interactions on FlashCS5.

The animation I did with the ninja and scarf was only 7 frames. It was about half the initial number of frames I wanted. I tried to make the delay between the frames less (which would be a higher fps) but I was forced in to keeping the delay. That made it look slow. I was using Stykz and GIMP.

Is there any reason why? I kept getting something about GIFs not being able to handle it.

I also couldn't find the frame rate option in Pivot.

I also couldn't find the frame rate option in Pivot.

The frame rate option seems to be the slider near the Play and Stop buttons...I think...

I haven't used Stykz...but I know that at a framerate higher than 20, GIFs will slow down in IE, so maybe Stykz limits itself to stop this happening...

this is my second work! in gif slows a bit, but anyways...

version 2.0 fixed a few things and added the death of the bad guy.

you don't know the power of the dark side!

Dude daz pretty sweet does pivot give u virusses.

I have downloaded it only two days ago but it seems safe.

Mine's virus-free too.

Anyways, been working on a longer version of the zombie slayer animation, but in the meantime, here's Darth Vader as a kid...


It's a bit sloppy, I know.

this is the last time I abuse your thread iMogwai...

I'm finally done with the zombie slayer animation I showed a part of earlier. Here it is. Spent a LOT of hours on this one, but I must say, I'm very happy about the results.

Here's my masterpiece
