Anything else you'd like to see a tutorial about?
Also if you have a tutorial you made and would like featured here, leave that in the comments too!
If you have QUESTIONS, its best to ask on either the FAQs page or better yet, make a post on the Activity section of the website.
Or can someone try to make Twitch from rainbow six siege.
Could you add a tutorial on how to make a car? It doesn’t matter as long as there’s some sort of tutorial for that. Thanks!???
There may be one on Youtube if you want to search for it. But really it’s like asking “how do I draw a car”, you just kind of do it.
In fact, with 1.7.0 (it’s out for Android right now), you can import a BG image to use while in Create Mode. Use that to guide you as you create your car, will help.
Oh! Thanks for the help. I really should’ve though about searching it up on YouTube. Thanks.
How to copy a gallery
to paste to stick nodes
Hi. What do you mean by gallery? I don’t think that’s the right word.
I’m sorry, but I just came on this site to learn more about the app (I only use half of the tools), and saw the awesome CREATOR!!! I love your app!!!
Lol that’s nice to hear. Glad you enjoy the app!
How do record your animation?
Well you can export it as a GIF/MP4, but if you want to record the screen I see a lot of people use apps to do so, just look for “screen recorder” on Google Play or the App Store.
Try using Mobizen. A lot of Screen Recording apps require you to root your phone. Which can be dangerous. :c
My Phone is rooted.
Comr at me.
Do you see something black when you export it? When you do it’s not that it didn’t work its just not fuctioning well if you send it to a freind or youself on messenger it’ll work just wait for a while…….
Hey there!
I’d like to ask, are you planning on adding any more features (such as joining stickfigures together and adding sprites)?
Hi! Joining yes, will be looked into soon. But sprites no, sorry. Too memory intensive for mobile devices, images eat up memory fast.
How do you upload packs because I’ve made a ton of Doctor who stuff and I want to put them in a pack.
Put them in a ZIP file
Can you do that on iOS because I know you can do it on android. And I use a iOS device
No, sadly iOS cannot make ZIP files, you need to import your sticks on your computer and put them in a ZIP file, then submit it on the website.
DmLan covered this nicely, five points.
Thanks guys :). I have successfully submitted a doctor who and a marvel pack.
Ummm… It’s me Zion, and I was wondering what the (special tools) scale tool does, I keep pressing it and it does nothing? Love you, and the game!!
I think you mean “Segment Tools” and not “Special Segment Tools” right?
Anyway, it will scale just the selected segment, but you need to check the box right above it for it to have any effect.
Thank you!!
Hi um can you plz add more stuff to the demo because what about the people that don’t have pro and can’t afford it and want things from pro that are not in the demo well the other version
Hi Zander. I think you mean free version, it’s not really a demo.
But I can’t, sorry. That’s the incentive for people to purchase the upgrade so I can make income from the work I put into the app.
I understand you may be too young to buy apps on your own, so it can be frustrating. I do apologize, but it’s how it has to be.
Ralph I am requesting a feature for a very very very future version.
Online mode.
Yeah, online mode, one person hosts the server and the other ones are joining, so they can make an animation together, wouldn’t that be cool?
Now that’s just an idea, but I really want online mode to be added.
This has been an idea I’ve had for a while. It would be lots of work (and a different app completely, maybe still stickfigure based). Might toy with it eventually when I get time.
Hey Ralph I’m kinda new to stick nodes and I want to know how to not use tweening because it sometimes messes up my animations so therefore I would be very appreciative if you’d do a toutourial on it
Well you just need to uncheck the tweening mode.. lol
Hi, like DmLan said, you can just uncheck “Tweening on”, but I think you’re talking about only for specific frames.
If you don’t want tweening applied to a certain frame, then under “Frame Tools”, check the “Do not tween this frame” checkbox.
Yeah you need help for that kind of thing.
