Hey Cheesiothecat (nice name).
Both Android and iOS save exported gifs/mp4s in such a way that they should be viewable if you go to the Camera Roll/Gallery (where all of your camera pictures are).
Hey I’m going to ask you again how can I animate a run
K thx
Oh wait it was probably just because I used all my memory on games but I can’t find it
Hey Ralph, quick question. Is it possible to create accessories or abilities for a stickfigure, like flames or guns? If so, could you possible make a tutorial for it? That would really help a project I am start.
BTW, this is a great app.
Hey SRod, of course it’s possible, have you seen the Stick Figure Downloads section? It’s full of guns and other effects.
Obviously there’s no flames there yet.. but I may take a crack at making a flame pack and just screen-capture it and post it as a tutorial.
How do I save the animation to my camera roll? When I click save it dosnt go to my camera roll. Btw I’m on iPod 5
Hey Matt, you need to tap the Export button and do it that way to be able to share it and see it in your camera roll.
Note: on IOS camera roll, the animation will appear static until you view it via a web-browser or .gif viewing app.
Can I see some animations to get the idea of what you can do please. Also quick question how come we can’t downlond stick from our phone
Hey Tazi, you can see some examples of animations made in Stick Nodes here: https://sticknodes.com/animation-examples/.
And as to the problem downloading on your phone, I’m assuming you’re on an IOS device? Yeah, it’s due to limitations that Apple themselves have set, Ralph has no control over that unfortunately, hopefully they’ll change it in the future, but in the meantime you’ll need to use a computer with iTunes.
Hope that helps, good luck!
I mean stick figures why can’t we download them on our phones
Thank you sbyrnes admin
You’re quite welcome mate.
