2022-07-23 21:46:42 UTC Hi. I really want to get into animation, but whenever I try, the animation comes out bad and unpresentable. I’ve tried watching tutorial videos and such but they either don’t help in general or don’t help with SN specifically. Can anyone provide good tips for fast-paced animation? Videos you think could help a lot too I would also appreciate
Stick Nodes®
A stickfigure animation app created for mobile devices!
Create your own stickman animations on your Android or iOS device!
– Abused add tweeted frame for easing
– move every single part of the body for most of the frames, makes it look better
– understand the difference between stiff poses and dynamic ones:
And here’s some videos
Hope this helps
It does! Thank you for your advice, I will definitely try out these things and watch the videos
fast-paced animation
before getting into that, how are you at just basics?
a walk, jump, some more complex interactions (climbing a box) etc
fast-paced is basically just the basics, with a lot of frames cut out as to emphasize the speed (+ smears, very important)
I’m pretty decent at the basics but whenever I try to animate, say, a fight scene, it looks terrible. I don’t quite know what I’m doing wrong

we gotta see what you think sucks so we tell you how to un-suck
Makes sense, I will do that
I have the same problem.
Except I can’t even animate a walk cycle.
A WALK CYCLE I TELL YOU!!!!
and I’ve watched every tutorial known to man.
Most of them arnt even tutorials. They’re just a time lapse of someone animating.
You cannot instantly make an animation un-suck, it’s like un-punching someone, you can’t, you just have to wait and see if it improves, just mess around
Here’s more videos :
( Fair warning : animating arcs is insanely hard and you shouldn’t do it unless you feel daring and you’re a sadist )
Why did I put pivot tutorials ? Because pivot stole from sticknodes, so we have to steal something from them in retaliation, steal their techniques !!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!!!!!!1!1!1!!
