Can I have some suggestions on how to start an animation cinematically?
Um, a slow camera pan?
Maybe that will work.
Uhh, magic?
So I’ve been trying what u reccomended but after each episode the amount of frames I can do keeps dropping and I’ve deleted all the animations and it’s stayed the same I’ve checked my storage and I have like 10 gigs left is there a problem or is this normal
Man that’s the second time I got skipped but it’s ok lol u must be really busy
Sorry I don’t mean to skip you. I don’t always view the comments on this page like you see them, I view them from a big non-linear list on the backend sometimes. So when I answer someone who commented after you, it’s just because I didn’t notice your comment.
Anyway, it wouldn’t have anything to do with space. It has to do with memory. A project file, with all of it’s frames, all of the stickfigures on each frame, and all of the nodes on each frame, background image, sound files, etc – takes up memory so long as the app is running.
Each project varies in how “memory-intensive” it is, depending on the factors I mentioned.
So I’m sorry to say but my advice is the same, you’re going to have to keep the project-size smallish depending on these factors, save often, and keep making episodes.
I know I have a test project with hundreds, near 1000 frames. But it’s just a test, with 1 stickfigure on each frame. If I were to do the same with many complex stickfigures on each frame, my device would explode.
I Know How To Do Slow Motion In Stick Nodes Without Adjusting Frame Skips Or Tweening But I’ll Never Tell XD
I need help there is a problem with my sticknodes!!!!!!
What problem might this be.
So im working on couple of nodes id like to go on the website for people to download , and id like them to be in a ‘pack’ but i dont know how to make a ‘pack’…
Please help.
Please see this FAQ section here.
K thanks ralph
Now that we can download stickfigers on iOS why can’t we download packs can you plz do that Ralph
You can download packs, please see this FAQ section.
Hey! Ralph it’s been so, long how are you doing? Did you watch dragon ball super english dub episodes yet?
HELLO.
Well I’m actually just watching it now, since the dubbed Funimation version is finally airing. Will be watching episode 5 later today.
The dub takes forever to come out
Yeah it took a while for Funimation to finally announce it. Now it’s coming out one episode per week.
ralph can you make a unlimitation option. because you know. the limit of sticks that can be applied into an anim is typically 20? am I right? can you add an option to unlimit the sticks? I have aa gaming mobile phone that has 4gig of ram. And also for the nodes. I am trying to make something really detailed but the nodes keeps bothering me.
Probably not unlimited, but maybe eventually I will up it. You have to consider the people that will add a ton of stickfigures, experience lag, hate me, and then etc, etc… because they don’t understand.
