Hi Ralph I was just wondering if you could do a video tutorial on how to make a good run with tweening
Yeah, that type of tutorial is suggested a lot, but that’s more of a generic animation issue rather than something specific to Stick Nodes.
There’s already loads of run tutorials for Pivot, which is essentially what Stick Nodes is based off of https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pivot+running+tutorial
The first three aren’t bad.
Thanks Ralph,without your tutorials,there were no stickfigures made by me!
Damn, my tutorial on stickfigure creation isn’t even that good, but I’m glad to hear it.
How do I show the text?
Scroll down in the left menu to the very bottom, there you can add/modify/delete textfields.
Dude is there a Pegasus stick dude?
I don’t believe there is. The majority of the stickfigures are created by the users. You should give it a whirl making one and submitting it!
Hey I made a DBZ my self and made goku SSJ and ssj4 and ssj10
Yeah but the export.gif is slow to load….. That’s ok I have other cool animations =)
A Super Saiyan 10… Did I miss a few episodes or something?
Lmao, I would also be curious to see this so called “Super Saiyan 10”.
I think its from “Dragon Ball Multiverse” or “Dragon Ball AF” or something like that. Whatever it’s called, I think I’ve seen glimpses of it before. A very well-made, fan-made continuation of the manga of DBZ I believe.
I’ve meant to check it out in the past as a gag just to see what all the fuss is about but never have.
Huh… alright then… I’ll have to check that out at some point too.
Can you do a tutorial how to save
Sure!
Click the “Save” button.
No but seriously, that’s incredibly simple…
Not many people realise u can scroll the side
You know, I think you’re right.
I feel like it’s pretty obvious due to the layout of the menu (usually a button is cut off at the bottom or something so you see the menu continues downwards).
Might have to make it more obvious though.
Hey mister im michael im 11 i download sticks and i play the stick nodes but where is the sticks i download thats all
Mister another question.mister how to continue it .because if you frame and frame and play it why it is laggy pls mister i love animationing pls help me mister
Lol, you sure do like to say mister, huh?
Anyway, once you download stickfigures, you need to move them to the appropriate folder on your device. See the FAQ section here and follow the instructions for Android or iOS, whichever one you’re using.
As for your second question, I’d assume the “lag” is from your FPS being set so low, as a result the animation is playing slowly and appears laggy or choppy.
In the app, under “Animation Tools”, set the FPS to something higher like 12 or 16 or even 20 to get the animation to play faster.
Lol
Hey mister,sir,or developer pls make a video of downloading sticks im to young for this so many buttons i can’t understand because im not smart pls sir,mister or developer pls i love this game but i don’t understand any of this button pls make a video.can you? can you? ha? ha?ha? pls!!!!!…………………..the end.
can I have your email to email you my animations?
Hey Sam, I’m not really a great place to send animations to. Go on and upload to AnimationAlpha.com or even post on a forum like pivotanimation.org or thedarkdemon.com.
Sorry mister thats how i can’t download because we don’t have sd card sorry
Ah, yeah, that would be the problem. I believe you need an SD card to download things on Android. Either that or you have very limited space.
I just want you to see them. they’re awesome fight animations.
I check in on the submissions to http://AnimationAlpha.com frequently. Also many others will see your animations, too, if you post on the other forums I mentioned.
