Ralph I saw you commented on my cousins video stick nodes animation part 2 if I told him he would of freaked out ???
I downloaded a stickfigure online. Now I don’t know what button to click so that the stickfigure I saved could get on the screen. Plz Help Me.
Please see the FAQ section here.
How do we add a sword or a weapon ?? Plz hep
You have to click “Import stickfigure” under “Library Tools” (import a sword) then click “Add” to add it to the animation.
Why does shirt guys left arm jiggle like jelly its…. weird…. you go try Ralph it’s weird…. ?
Lol, what? It jiggles?
The shirt guys left arm niggles if you like move it if you do it faster it appears more it’s a weird thing I found I’m not joking…
*Jiggles* I meant…
Oh, yeah, I know what you mean. It’s because of the order in which the segments are drawn, once you release the arm it all goes back to normal though, so I’ve never bothered looking into fixing that, lol.
Even the downloaded sticks they jiggles even with tweening on
Thx ralph your da best 😀
No you.
How do make female hair?
I know I should look at the hair video but I see male hair not female
Well, there’s really no “right” way to do it. If you know how to use the segments and add nodes, then it’s really just up to your creativity.
Is there a way to download sticks on ios?
Yes of course, please see the “downloading stickfigures” video on this page up top, iOS is covered in the second half.
How do I get the defalt guy of the screen
Select him and then press “Delete” under “Stickfigure Tools” (scroll down the left-side menu).
How to create swords? Plz make a tutorial!
There’s really no secret, once you know the basics of static nodes and draw order, it’s really just as simple as creating a sword depending on what you want.
omg, I just found out thnx xD, cant wait till 1.7.0 and PC versioon, keep working!
I made my first sword 😀 Had issues coloring it in, but it was fine… lots of nodes tho
Good job. Yeah coloring can be a hassle sometimes, just comes with the nature of stickfigure-building, no fill bucket tool.
