My animations

hey guys im prety new to pivot and here are some of my lastest animations. Plz give me tips on how to make them better

walk test

one of my first dbz fights



prview of an upcoming dbz fight


i was trying to see if i could make a stick disappear

Low beginner. You should work on foot placement and easing a lot. But you are pretty good if you are just starting with Pivot. :)

it looks like hes walking with 1 foot. at youre walk test.

can someone explain foot placement to me cause i dont really get it

i dont really understand the first vid... but the dbz and the rest is very nice to be yah

feet placement is just that, feet placement. e.g. when you walk your feet don't slide they stay in one spot and in pivot you can use a static, 0 thickness, line or circle then click the front button, place it on the foot joint. not the heel joint. keep the foot joint on the pivot point you made

update:


update2 my first walk punch a little suckish

update3 i was just practicing

you need to work on stiffness try to move every joint in one frame

needs more easing
try to make half a pixel then half a pixel one whole pixel then farther and father then backwards

whats a pixel

i can't explain it. anyone want to try?

If you look closely at your computer / laptop, you'll see its made of tiny dots, these are pixels, they apply to anything with a screen ( Tv, Laptop, Phone, Game Console ) .

i dont understand what you meant by moving a half pixel and another half to make a whole

well you cant really do half a pixle.
the pivot program is like a giant grid.
and there are tiny as squares for where u can move it on.
but it has to be inline with the grid.
every point on the grid is called a " pixle "
and when u move something, it can move many pixles..
but it is impossible to do half a pixle.
to do that u have to get fof the grid. and in these types of programs u just cant do that.

but what he means is. move it a tiny it, when a bit bigger then before. and gradually move it bigger till it wants to stop. when u want it to stop, gradually make the distance between ur movements smaller XD

Since none of us have typed it yet I'll show what it means :

l-l--l---l----l-----l----l---l--l-l-l

l stands for : The frame in its finished pos
- stands for : The spacing in between every frame.
Thats an example of easing.

lol thanks for putting in that...
i just realized that i didnt -.-

WHen is it really neccesary to ease in an animation

when ever ur figure's joints are going to start or stop...
thats when u ease.
so really, ease ever single movement at the start and at the end XD

i dont know why this happens but when ever i want to ease i dont and the animation keeps the same speed

??
whenever u want to ease you dont....
umm, i dont kno how to help u out there -.-

maybe ill just do the opposite by trying not to ease i will ease lol im outta ideas
