Im da guy
Ahh, I see now.
You need to use HTML and have the direct link to the image you wish to post.
Then post it similar to what they’ve done here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp
But the alt, height and width are obsolete, just remove those parts.
I could be lying but I don’t think users can use IMG tags, certain HTML is limited to only admins.
Again, could be a lie. I really don’t know. Okay bye.
Oh.
You suck then.
We need more Stick Nodes users! Come on people… (This is random) Did you know that Sean (or is it Ralph) created http://www.Animationalpha.com :3 (Go to the FORUMS, we need more newcomers)
I second this motion >:D
My thumbs are to big I can’t move the character I’m so mad
Lol, sorry. I’m sure it’s probably your phone, I assume. It’s best to use Stick Nodes with a bigger screen, either a large phone or a tablet is optimal.
Completely new to this site! Looks awesome so far! My question: How can I export and print one frame of an animation? I exported one as gif to itunes/photoshare but it is very pixelated. If I upgrade to pro would I have a better chance at making it smooth and less pixelated?
Also does the Pro version allow for changing the ends to curved or adding triangles for feet and hands? Thank you for your help!
Hi Kim.
Well first, you can use circles/triangles/etc in both versions, when you’re in the “Create a stickfigure” screen, at the top, select “Triangle” for example.
As for exporting a single frame, I’m sorry but that’s not possible. The best way I can think of doing that would be to duplicate the project (just re-save it as something else, that way you won’t mess up the original project) and then delete every frame except the one frame you want to export. Then just press “Export GIF” like normal and you’ll get that one frame.
As for it being pixelated, it shouldn’t be that bad. Also, don’t bother viewing it on your iOS device (without using an app dedicated to viewing animated GIFs).
When you export it, make the dimensions bigger, I believe the maximum is 1280×720.
Hay I use stick nodes but I don’t know how to add my caricatures to the file so I can import them

How do I make the weapons on the game ?
You just, you know, make them. That’s essentially like asking “how do I draw a weapon”, you just kind of draw it. See the second tutorial video on this page to get started.
I love the app so far, is it possible to make a hat?
Thanks, glad you’re enjoying it!
And yeah, you can make a hat. You can make anything. See the second tutorial video on this page to get an idea of how to create stuff.
How to delete the Project? come
Depends on if you’re on Android (use FX File Explorer to go to /Stick Nodes/projects/ and delete) or iOS (use iTunes and go to Apps, scroll down to File Sharing, select Stick Nodes, delete projects from there).
The new update will have this feature built-in, to delete stickfigures and projects.
This new update will be amazing.
And also fictional.
Also fictional is your…um.
…
I got nothing.
I created a gun, how can i submit it (to you, or whoever it goes to)
Hey Llama. Use the “Submit stickfigure” button in the app under “Library Tools”.
Could have said brain.
Too late now I win.
