    Sprite Uploads

    Do you think that uploading sprites as a movieclip is worthy of a UC vote?

      Good stuff are made with sprites, but it wouldnt be fair for a sprite mc to get UC.

      For ex: I made a snowy forest and snow falling movieclip. But it was made out of sprites. Would it really deserve UC?

      They’re useful, they’re cool, but it wouldn’t be fair if say, someone like Gigan were to upload his well made sticks just for a sprite pack of some stock images and filters to get UC and other rewards.

    • this is a tough one, and it’s why i personally don’t vote for these as UC

      they *are* useful, like explosions and effects like that, and probably get downloaded a lot as a result

      but imo a UC vote is more of a pat on the back for making a really badass stickfigure

        I fully agree.

        Perhaps sprites should get their own section on the site that cannot get the same rewards as people who genuinely use the technicalities of the app. Drawing something is a lot easier than crafting a rigged animatable figure on sticknodes.
        The whole art on this site has always been using the nodes. Most of the badges and events have been revolved around this.

        Would it really be sticknodes without the nodes?
        A balance should be found before its not reversible.

        Sprites should be downloadable, but merely as a external toolbox.
        The real noded figures should be the mainstraim creation.

        Trust me, once people find out that sprites will get a ton of UC votes. They will abuse it and only post these. Ripping sprites from the internet. Demotivating any real figure creator

          Thing is…sprites are REVOLUTIONARY!!

          But yeah, the opinion’s mutual.

          I doubt every creator would want to resort to using sprites.

          I’m using sprites personally, because I can finally make backgrounds and movieclips that I’ve wanted for a WHILE but no one ever makes them.

          And I also enjoy the procesd of turning little stock images into something way bigger, adding filters, masking the photorealism with blur, adding tint, etc.

          As I’m typing this, I also realize that sprites can allow us to have things that we never could have ever had in SN, like Photorealism, high-node stuff, epic movieclips, and just awesome stuff…

          It’s just that they’re so damn unfair…

          Anyways…

          THIS IS WHY WERE COOLER THAN PIVOT!!! >:)
