And How to submit the Pack to Stick nodes website, IOS or Android
you have to ZIP the files with an app (on Android) or using a computer (if you have an iOS device), then submit with https://sticknodes.com/submit-stickfigure/
submit the files separately and I’ll pack them if it’s a hassle, preferably named similarly
Your choice
Hello. Is there a way to open 2 sticks in editor, combine them together, like attaching helmet to stick and saving it so i dont have to combine them again next time when animating? If not, that would be cool if you added this options to the app. 🙂
not really, the closest is to go to stickfigure 1, (edit it), use “Copy segment and children” on whatever you want from it
then go to edit stickfigure 2, and use the “paste” button
will require some “clean up” after, but it’s the closest you’ll get to having two stickfigures to edit at once
can you show us how to add sounds for ios? pro version, or atleast show us the recommended website to get sounds from please
there’s no recommended website really, the app comes with a lot of sounds as is, but if you want more that’s up to the user to find
typically googling for “____ mp3” is enough, where ____ is the sound effect you want
Iam new here, so…Uhh… when i export my video, it all was black. Help!
I can’t really help much without info like device/ios/android version, etc
but make sure you’re using 2.2.4, and if on android and you’re talking about mp4, maybe use that checkbox in the export window where it says “if exports come out weird, use this checkbox”?
I’m trying to create a stick figure with extra parts on it, such as chains around the arms. When I animate, I animate the arm and leg joints so that they shrink and expand to mimic the effect of 3D animation. However, whenever I do that, the parts that are on the arms always float off whenever I shrink them. How would I combat this? Or is there some technique I can use to work around this?
you’re probably doing it right, so this might not help
but for example, if you want some design on the forearm, make sure it “branches off” of the hand node, not the “elbow” node
so now when you pull the hand (stretch it), the design comes with it
when you push in the hand (again, stretching it, but towards the arm/shrinking it), the design doesn’t “shrink” with it, that’s just not how it works regrettably, that might be the problem you’re having, it’s unavoidable without being creative with things (giving yourself enough room w/ the design so you can shrink the hand a lot without reaching that point where it begins to “float” off)
I don’t think that made any sense….
I submitted my Demon nodes still isn’t in the website why!!??
How do you add SFX on pro?
Step 1 go to instant buttons
Step 2 share the sound to file manager
Step 3 transport the file to stick nodes sounds
Step 4 you’re done!
I still dont understand
Tap the frame, scroll down, then tap import sound.
But where is the sound button?
Press the frame of a project and scroll down on the menu it should have sound if you have pro. Also why is a new person commenting a question every single time it’s answered?
