NT's Anims - Grappling Hook [22/09/11]

I love stykz. :D
*New animation

Staff test 2

I wasen't to bothered on the way he go back up after he dropped, I can do that way better but I was to lazy and was mainly focusing on the staff moves.
And I think this is my best animation so far. :D
And yes its short. :(

The end just ruined it completely. I don't care if you were just being lazy, it ruined it for me. Also, the ground changed levels, and foot placement was a teeny iffy. Also, the spinny part looked awkward. His body looked like it wanted to go farther back, or stay in one spot.

The end was really stiff, but other than that, it's quite good. And the crack in the ground looked really weird. And at the end, the foot was a bit jerky when turning, so watch out for that if you need to move the foot in an anim.

Fix up the ending and it will be THE best animation on stykz.net.

I fixed the getting up ( as best as I could ) and added in a blue string at the end of it. :D

Staff test 2(Edited)

The blue string stopped too fast at the end, and his body was stiff as he went from throwing it down to his normal stance. Also, the foot placement was a little whack.

That string was animated pretty well, so I think that onionskin trailing is your official best talent in stykz. At the end, his arms should have crossed.

It seemed that when he stepped back it was too quick, granted the rest was outstanding, but I would suggest like Nate suggested, cross his arms as he's stepping back. also how the heck did you do tremor effect? I tried doing the same way I did it in pivot, but stykz was a (that word) when trying to move it gradually up and down, but yeah how?

Well for the tremor I have the line unmoved until the animation is finished. I go back into the frames where a tremour would be in. ( Such as the staff being thrown into the ground ) The first frame would have the tremour go down far. Next frame would be higher than what it started. Then on the next frames it will start to get closer to where the line was at on the start.
Hope this helps!

I didn't cross the arms because the stickman and the back arm were seperate. I thought it would've looked weird but I can try. xP
And the problem I have most is animating the arms. :(

At what FPS do you animate?
