Hey! I Saw This Animation App And Ive Tried It And It Work’s Really Good! But In The Basics Tutorial Video You Said There Were Already Some Stick.Nodes Files Like Floor.Nodes But I Don’t Have Those! Is This Cuz I Have The Free Version Or What?
Hey Akio2005.
Well, you need to import them. The app comes with a few default stickfigures. Just scroll down the left-side menu and under “Library Tools” click “Import stickfigure”. Choose a stickfigure to import, then click “Add” to add it to the frame.
How do u import a stick node I have a Android tab ralph
Hey ghostkid. Just follow the FAQ section here.
Hey I made a ender dragon and a enderman from minecraft should i upload it so u guys can use it 4 animations I will make more in the future
Sure. Anything you make that you think is cool, submit it!
Hey there Ralph I was wondering if you could do a lesson of doing more advanced things in stick nodes like FULL animations and just more complex things thank you if you do a episode on this and I really love StickNodes!!! peace out ✌?️?
Hey Deonzio. I would like to do a more in-depth tutorial, maybe where I just animate a simple scene of something. Need to find time to do it though, all of my free time is spent developing Stick Nodes updates/desktop, lol.
How do I share my animations with youtube
See the FAQ section here.
Since Ralph can’t find the right time for the tutorial for a simple scene. I can be a substitute. For I will teach 3Dish animations, frame by frame. (While using text to talk) Realism comparison. Ya da ya da ya da. If you would like to see tutorials, I will make another channel named: Stick Nodes Tutorials.
I like it. If you make any, be sure to link to them from here or at least have the words “Stick Nodes” in the title of the video – it’s how I can easily find all Stick Nodes content on Youtube.
Is There A Way To Add Actual Pictures (Or “Sprite” Images) To Your Animations Like There Is In Pivot Animator? If So, Please Tell Me.
No there’s no support for that unless you mean a background image.
The mobile app is not capable of handling this feature because of the memory constraints of phones and tablets.
Derp
