How to upload a stickfigure?
How to upload a stickfigure
Go on import stick figure and choose one
How do you connect stick figures but without the,main part with the other
You can only connect the main node of a stickfigure to another stickfigure, sorry. I originally tried to allow for different types of connections, but it’s a huge hassle to get working right, if even possible with the way stickfigures are built.
It’s ok
How do I post the animations I create? I’m sorry,I’m new.
Sorry I didn’t see the warning and I can’t delete because I’m idiotic.
Well after you export an MP4, you can “share” it to Youtube just like any video in your Photos area on your device.
If you export a GIF, you can use a GIF-to-video converter app/online service to turn it into a video, then upload that to Youtube.
Or you can just upload the GIF/post a link to your YT video on the https://sticknodes.com/activity/ area here.
How do I make segments connected they always move separately from the actual stick figure
You have to understand how stickfigures work and build them with proper planning. Think of all the nodes as limbs on a tree, branching out. If you move the tree trunk, all branches will move with it, if you move just the top-most branch, none of the lower ones will move.
Bad description I know my bad but basically you have to connect things to the proper nodes/anchor points to get it to move how you want.

I’m not sure I understand? Just download the BG image you want. Then open SN and go into your project / or a new project, click “Load BG image”, select the downloaded image, and there it is, no?
