• Wanted to get some opinions on something.

    If I were to make short Timelapse videos of making a Stickfigure like an effect etc do you think it would be entertaining enough or just kind of filler content?

    I would like to once I’ve remade KZ and got my entry for the Handsome collab done, to then start animating short stuff more. I’m just not sure if it’s interesting enough or just kind of routine and bland.

    The footage will be sped up and music added, so pretty much a conventional Timelapse video.

    • i think timelapses of making stuff with SN is a really good type of content that not many people do

      its useful to learn from and if it’s not drawn out for a ridiculous long time its can actually be a quick form of entertainment

      even a supercut version for a Youtube Shorts could be a thing

      2022-10-09 22:05:54 UTC 6
    • I would love to see that. I think people like to see how other people work, or at least I do

      2022-10-09 22:08:35 UTC 4
    • Hell yeah, especially if it’s an effect because those things are difficult to make

      2022-10-09 22:13:21 UTC 3
    • Yes because it’s fun to watch someone struggle to make effects and you actually learn something from it

    • What Ralph said
      I actually really enjoy watching those types of videos, and it would be very cool to see the Chadest user on the site do it too

      It’s also just a quick way to amp up views by doing something you usually do behind the scenes and just posting it

      2022-10-09 22:56:36 UTC 2
      • Replying to: Kingston πŸ’šWhat Ralph said I actually really enjoy watching those types

        I agree, my only concern was that I felt it might be too filler for content but considering the votes are more to posting it I may as well.

  • Bit of an update on some things:

    1. The Spookus remake is going well so far, I think I’m going to add a bunch of gradients barely covering the entire face, I’m probably going to make hood on and off versions.

    2. I’ve fixed some stuff for my entry for the handsome collab, I will post more when I have something worth showing.

    @k-zilla

    We spoke about the Revenant version of Spookus etc so hopefully this is alright proportion-wise. Keep in mind I’ll need to add a rough shape of muscles and of course slightly baggy clothing so he’ll appear bigger than he does now.

  • @jadee

    Thought I’d share this, essentially if you’re looking for making mad moolah then collect a big amount of high selling plorts, these are the furthest to the right plorts, store them until the market value is highest and then sell them. If you have lots to sell like over 900 then I suggest staying up all night the day before in-game to have an extra 6 minutes or in-game 6 hours to sell them.

    I managed to get 30,000+ in a matter of a day just by saving across the past 2 or so in-game weeks.

    I’m sure you might know the method but here are the results so next time you play I’d recommend looking into it.

  • Wow, another year on the site.. 1461 days here, four years.

    I haven’t got anything too crazy and out there to add as I’m sure we’ve heard it all plenty by now:

    – Site is bad at times but good because of each other
    – Has shaped aspects of us as people
    – Seen improvements in skill
    – Been happier since

    This year in particular I won’t lie, has been okay. Nothing really stands out to me but I feel that a lot of the bonds I’ve had with different users feels stronger, a lot more established, not only for that but also our skills. Each users work is becoming more and more established and we have a greater appreciation for it.

    As we are also getting older a lot of us are moving on more from Stick Nodes etc and putting our efforts elsewhere, it will always be like that and likely many of us will be traded in for a new generation of users with perhaps a few left and occasionally visiting.

    I can’t say what might come next for the generation of users I’ve known, maybe it will truly fissile out but who knows, maybe we’ll make a comeback this year. If this were to be the final year on site for many then I just want to say a big thanks to all friends and allies that I’ve known since joining, it’s been a real pleasure working and speaking with you all and I wish everyone the best in their lives, so many of you have some genuinely impressive talent the likes of which could take you so far. I just wish well for each and everyone of you who are deserving and may this next year be a good one..

    making it tradition now for me to post a picture of my pfp each year.

      All i can say here is thank you for everything you’ve done for this site. Thank you so much.
      Youre the most mature person on this site, and the only one who actually deserves to be a mod.
      Youve helped me dozens of times, and i bet practically every other user can say the same.
      Also, when you help someone, you actually help them. You give them incredible advice, you successfully help them get through what they’re going through, and you check in with them constantly. Youre literally a therapist.

      I wanted to say more but I’m not sure how to put it in words.
      Just know you’re appreciated by this site. You are our inspiration. And you’re definitely on my top 5 list of favorite users.

      I hope you continue to impact this site for many years to come, have a good day

  • Been putting together my entry for the Handsome collab.

    It’s weird to get back into animation after so long, I don’t feel complete lost but it’s definitely an adjustment. My only concern is whether I can make a good enough entry in time, at least in relation to my plans for my entry.

    Here’s a little showcase thus far.

  • Lemon Casual Blue Outfit

    Thanks to IG for some help on the shoes functionality

    Planning to use this design in the Handsomeman collab, if I’ll even have any time left that is..

    13
  • Legs done

    Finally the full first design of the muscles are finished.

    There are a few questionable parts and fixable / improvable aspects but overall I’m quite happy with this for now.

    It’s to serve as more of a guide for adding the clothing over which should take way less longer.

    Left is the old design that I scrapped and barely worked on, right is the finished current one.

    15
    • 738 Nodes, a lot but I only intend to do so much with Lemon in this state so it should see a massive reduction especially as I adjust it as I go.

      Even still, it’s not that important in consideration to how I might use him.

        Different types of clothing actually.

        For the Handsomeman collab I’ll probably give him something fairly normal looking like a dark long-sleeved shirt and some jeans, maybe some sunglasses of different design or just glasses.

        Yujiro lemon sounds pretty cool actually, might make it for fun..

    • Odd questions:

      1) Can he peel himself?

      2) Does he urinate or lemonade-ate?

      3) Does he have blood or lemon juice?

      4) If he dosent have clothes, is he considered naked?

      5/6) What it’s his species; are there more of his species?

      2022-09-22 19:26:00 UTC 2
      • Replying to: Kingston πŸ’šOdd questions: 1) Can he peel himself? 2) Does he urinate

        1. No, he’s got a jumble of alterations to his DNA so by a lot of levels he appears as a lemon.

        2. He urinates as normal

        3. His blood has trace amounts of citrus-based chemicals and such

        4. He does wear clothes usually and also has a peen.

        5. He’s technically still human but altered really far after being experimented on nearing the end of WW1 where he and other British soldiers were captured by the Nazis and experimented on.

        I won’t spoil any more of his lore than that for now.

  • Progress on Lemon

    I managed to finish the arms so the entire upper body is done, which is a relief. Saying that though I’ve been quite enjoying working on him these past few days.

    Took a bit of figuring out for the back arm muscles as they have way less reference to work with and generally the shoulders are impossible to see from that angle as they are connected to the torso, nonetheless I got something.

    573 total nodes so far, a lot but once I make clothing all the muscles will be gone and it should be reduced by around 200 nodes give or take. Whatever the case, 380, 400, 600, 900 nodes, I don’t really care. It functions well and looks good so I’m satisfied.

    15
  • More Minecraft

    I went ahead and started to plan out my manor. I’m going to add different floors; an underground, a ground level and a second level.

    So far I’ve got a Library to the left, main hall closest to the stables, map room to the right and further ahead we have an Armory, Trophy / treasure room and finally a living space.

    I’m going to try and keep these posts to a minimum now I think until I make some good progress otherwise it’ll get old pretty quick.

        I tried to make a playthrough before but whenever I tried anything my recordings was too much for my PC to take at a time apparently so before then I’d need to have some thing sorted then I’d like to branch out with my content.

  • I got back around to working on Lemon, I had left it for so long and was unhappy with the last design so I came up with a new one and I’m definitely more satisfied with it.

    Node count is fairly high but I wouldn’t want to cram everything into one Stickfigure, it can get messy and usually doesn’t work well.

    First is old, next is new

  • Managed to kill the dragon, only took one attempt as well which was nice.

    My first hop into the End and my game crashes, I reload it and luckily I was just a few blocks behind from when it crashed which was good.

    I’m now in the midst of finding an elytra then returning home.

    Glad I’m making progress, my last world lacked farms and reliability, I’m trying to add more now and be more observant to the need for farms because without it doing what you want to do can be a really tedious process.

  • I come bearing some good news, for now it probably won’t be of much interest of you but I’ll mention this anyway.

    I managed to sort some stuff out for my video on animating a punch and progress is going well, last week I assembled some footage, planned some stuff and started working on a video draft. I decided to re-write what I had though because I was rambling.

    Long story short I now am working on a new plan for the video and I think it’s going to be great.

    Where you come in

    I would like to work on more videos before releasing the current so I have a selection to upload progressively and so I upload regularly enough. If you have any suggestions for tutorials etc please let me know so I can consider doing it.

    I’m looking for around 2 – 3 extra videos to make before starting to upload.

    Thank you all for your help and support thus far.

    • people struggle with the idea of animating via keyframes first, then going back and fleshing in all the in-between stuff

      its a vague concept but having a dude for example run/roll and leap out of the roll for example – the process should be to hit all the key movement points first in about 5-6 frames

      then to go back and use a combination of “add tweened frame” and manually animating to fill in the in-betweens

    • Maybe start out with something small, like a short video showcasing the evolution of all remakes or your OC, or a short Minecraft or basketball, or a music sync video, or after a few uploads you can reupload that “The Stick Behind The Slaughter” video.

      Or maybe you’d want to do something with a little more story to it. e.g. an AVA video, something like people raiding and breaking down a castle while the King and Queen try to escape and the knights are fighting off the invaders, or a murder mystery with ocs (ok I really really want that now)

      Y’know, stuff like that. Even if it’s the randomest video ever like a camera and a stick being best friends, just make whatever your imagination wants you to make
