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.
How do you make like it’s fast because my animation goes really slow, it’s like in slow motion
1 – Increase fps
2 – make big spaces between frames
Yeah, under “Animation Tools”, change the FPS number to something higher.
this app is awesome thx for making this cuz i love animation and this is the best way to make them on my phone.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy the app so much!
I’m using this app on a i pad and if I try to install a stickman model on safari. Safari says it can’t install the model please help me I really want to install the mini tank
Hi Robin. Please see the FAQ section here, you can’t use Safari to download these figures, iOS is a bit different than Android when it comes to this.
Why do my stuff gets regected pls tell me ;(
1) If they are actually being rejected, please don’t take offense. I’d say 50% are rejected for being too basic, nonsense, not built well, or just some combination of the three.
2) Or maybe you haven’t waited enough. I’m catching up, but the current ones being uploaded are from about August 5th.
Hey Ralph, i just wanted to say that can you add a feature where you could lock a tool/sword on the stickfigure and move with it?
Yeah!
He’s said it’ll be looked into, it may happen.
Yeah, I plan on adding this. Coming in update 1.7.2 or something like that.
Ralph can u add a button were you can upload your videos to YouTube? that would be awesome and so easy to use.
Well, there’s no dedicated button for it, but after you export an MP4, just share the video to Youtube like you would with any other video.
If you only have the Free version, you can export a GIF and convert it to video with another app or program, and then share that to Youtube.
Hey, Ralph, I was wondering if in a later update you could possibly add a feature where you can download stick figures from the app as i don’t have a laptop or a desktop computer to download them from onto my iPad
I would like to do that, but it would require a lot of work to be able to essentially browse the entire online stickfigure library from within the app. Regrettably I don’t have the time to add a feature like this, sorry.
oh lol thx now i see
https://youtu.be/W0RfpKUIkrU
thats my YouTube channel if u guys wont to see it ?
I tried and tried I couldn’t download/import a stick figure why does it have to be so hard
Where is our update on iOS I have been waiting for evar and want it to come out really badly because v-can I think would be awesome. Sorry for bugging you but I’m just impasient
Sorry for the wait, the new MP4 exporting is giving me trouble to get working properly.
How do you put in another thing like the dbz charecters on the photos of the app?
I agree its annoying doing that every time you move a stick figure
Nice app
ralph i was wondering do u know how to start up a new YouTube channel i mean i got one but how do i make it popular or something.
i was just wondering to get other people to see my channel i only have 3 subscribers ?
You just… You know.. Try. Effort and time.
I’m not the best person to ask, lol. Pretty much what Bio said. Make stuff and then comment on other people’s videos. They’ll come to your channel and that’s how you get started.
But you have to put out content.
Also if you make Stick Nodes stuff, be sure to put “Stick Nodes” or “Sticknodes” in the title, as people search for that often.
Well I understand you not fully able to have the ability to download stick figures from the app, but how about adding a few more figures in the next update, because there are not any simple backgrounds or effects to get you started.
Also, do you have any tips for begining animators because I’ve only had the game for around 2 months and have only just realized that your supposed to use tweeting. I case you havnt realised I’m an idiot.
Thanks
I actually just recently mentioned this another comment, but I might actually hold a poll soon to see which stickfigures I should start to include by default with the app.
Maybe some of the popular ones from the website because you’re right about the backgrounds and effects thing.
And lol, yeah, check out the tutorials page and see the user-created tutorials (even search Youtube yourself), they will give some tips and ideas.
Yeah, maybe you could have a pack that you download and it has a theme or something idk
Best idea ever.
Yo bio your animation are awesome dude why don’t u make another video if u don’t got no idea u can look at my channel if u won’t
Hey, whats the name of your channel?
Lol, right now I’m taking a break from YouTube and Amino, etc since I haven’t had one in a long time, I’ll be back active soon, though, and the first thing I’ll be finishing up is the QnA.
No, no breaks. Back to work.
But I’m sick. ;-;
Lol.
I really am sick though, I just wanna comment here so I’m, you know, NOT Bored.
