Thanks. How do I speed it up?

[thepedigree22]

on the side where it says play and stop and repeat. next to that there is a bar that starts off with 12. depending on how long your animation is is the speed u pout it. I would recommend 16 speed

I run my speed at 18. It tends to help me smoothen my animations out so they aren't to fast or to slow.

Pretty good for a first from what ive seen.

Thanks for all the nice comments!!!! I will definitely make more!

well you are not like amazing. but you have got to be one of the best beginners ive seen.
its stiff, choppy and fidgets. there are not enough frames in the animation itself and you should put the legs together making the animation 2-d.
Choppy- when an animation doesn't run smoothly
Stiffness - when the joints are not moved enough
Fidgetyness - when the joints move randomly. like going in 1 direction then another making it look unhuman.

hope i could help
keep going and dont leave because of activity
im on everyday soo i'll leave a comment

The general movement of the hurricanrana is very nice. Although the animation is choppy and fidgety. Which is an exception for the newcomers in pivot. But if you want I've got nothing to do this winter since it's snowing, I can help you with animations.

I would very much appreciate that!

Alright man. You got MSN?

[Nick]

No. I have a facebook though.

As Famous Man said the movements during the move were very nice. Some thing you should work on though, see in the jump how the Blue's stick's legs were all over the place? Well you need to do your best to keep them in place, also try to use a consistent amount of frames, like during the jump you hardly used any then during the move you used much more. Stiffness is a bit of a problem, like look at the Yellow stick during the move and see how little the joints bend. Also always do the reactions and don't skip them as doing that hurts the animations a lot. Lot of potential here though, just keep trying and hopefully you'll start to pick things up, also not needed but you should maybe go to the first aid thread and pick out a style to use, not a must but I'd recommend that you do.

you have good first animations they get better as they go on and i like the movements

[Nick]

Thanks for all the comments!!

[alexgg]

Not bad man, try spacing it out more with extra frames.
The joints should move more too, dont just sping the arms and legs, bend them too.
Good start though.

[Nick]

Sorry if this is a noob question. But, what is spacing?
