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.
never mind I ‘re read it and know I know.
How do you make hair?
You just, you know, add segments to the “head” area and make it look like hair. That’s kind of it. See the second tutorial video.
How do you import downloaded nodes
See the FAQ here: https://sticknodes.com/faqs/#downloading
How do I use multiple images in the same animation?
Are you talking about backgrounds? If so, you can only use one, sorry.
This is for two reasons. I looked at Pivot to see how it handled background images and it too only allowed just one per project. It seems that was a good standard that everyone was okay with so I went with it.
Secondly, memory is much more precious on mobile devices, so the less I had to worry about large background images eating it up, the better.
Again, sorry about that!
Hey How You Upload This .gif To YouTube i wanna upload my animation pls 🙁
I can’t understand what to do in faqs 🙁
Hey. Well, you can’t upload a GIF to Youtube. You’d need another app/program that you can import a GIF into and export it as a video file.
Or you can get the Pro version of Stick Nodes which can export to MP4.
Update Idea: Maybe You Could Make The Box On The Animation Area CAN be Moved Or Becomes. Little In Some Frames Kk?
You know what I mean?
I actually don’t really understand? I think what you’re referring to can be done by enabling “Panning mode” which allows you to move all stickfigures at the same time.
How do you view what you have made like a movie?
Hey Emma.
Well, there’s one of two ways, depends on what you’re asking. In the app itself, you can just click the “Play” button to see the animation play out.
Or you can click “Export gif” (or “Export mp4” in the Pro version) which will create a GIF/MP4 of your animation and place it in your Gallery/Camera Roll on your device. After, just open your Gallery/Camera Roll and you’ll find your animation there.
(Note that iOS doesn’t natively play GIF files, so if you’re using an iPhone/iPad you’ll need to download a “gif viewer” app and watch your animation using that. It’ll appear static and non-animated if you don’t.)
For some reason on my 4s I cannot see any add or remove frame button. Help
It’s to the right of the frames, Add and Delete.
COME ON MAN OPEN YOUR EYES.
Is not for me.
If it’s not there you need to get the latest version from either the App Store or Google Play.
What about the Amazon Appstore? I have Stick nodes on my kindle.
Yep, it’s on there too. I just say Google Play and App Store since they’re the most popular, but it’s on Amazon, Opera, and SlideMe app stores as well.
Se puede poner archivos .stk/i can put .stk files???
Puede utilizar .STK archivos (si es que se hicieron con Pivot 2.2.7 o anterior), sino cómo usarlos depende de si usted está utilizando iOS o Android.
iOS – Uso de iTunes, conectar el dispositivo, vaya a “Apps” y luego desplácese hacia abajo para “File Sharing”, utilice el botón “Add” para poner los archivos .STK en la carpeta “Stick Nodes”.
Android – Uso “FX File Explorer” (o aplicación similar) para mover archivos .STK al palo /Stick Nodes/stickfigures/ carpeta.
Después, puede simplemente abrir Stick Nodes , desplácese hacia abajo para “Import stickfigure”, e importar el archivo .STK.

Afterwards, you can just open Stick Nodes, scroll down to “Import stickfigure”, and import your .STK file.
