Cool bro
Bad footing is good for making a moonwalk animation XD
Lol
Lmao
@Zyxel and monke
HEE HEE
I got rid of these mistakes a long time ago...the nostalgia..
I never did I just started I mean I downloaded this app 1 year ago thinking it was a game then when I opened it I was super confused and deleted it now I got it back knowing what animating is and still making all these misteaks
That's literally me
This tutorial actually made a drastic difference in my animations, I always felt like something was off or missing when I would be animating.
Im only just starting sticknodes and i took and hour and 15 minutes to make a transformation animation and it didnt look like it was created by a 5 year old this time. Thanks!
This actually helped realize a couple of things in my animations, but the worst part is that I’m about to do smth irl even though this video ESPECIALLY THE EASING PART, motivated me to use stick nodes so much, that I started crying and because of just HOW HELPFUL THIS VIDEO WAS 😭😭
The best start to becoming a good animator is a walking animation.
This is a written tutorial, so pay attention!
1. You'd want to have a stick figure that has a lot of movable joints. for example, it must have feet, ankles and knees. (Not the only needed joints)
You can't properly animate with the default stickfigure because of the missing assets. The legs are simply only knees.
2. You want to have the previous frame as ghost so you can keep your feet right.
3. Pose your stick figure, you want it to have a wide stance ready for animation. Not too wide and not too flat.
3.1 Move your entire stickfigure's body parts. This includes: Legs, arms, and head.
Now we're going to start to animate.
Keep in mind. You need to have a ton of patience. If you don't have any. Try to build yourself patience.
All good animators have patience.
4. Sync your hands with your legs. When the legs move, the arms move.
This is a very very important step:
5. Your back arm syncs with your front leg, the one under the front arm.
Your back leg syncs with your front arm.
basically, F + B (Front plus back)
B + F
6. You keep your back leg in one place. You look at the ghost and when the stickfigure moves, the leg and ankle remains in the same position that it was initially. Basically your body leaves and forgets your leg.
The start of the animation, you lift your back leg up and then place it on the ground, then start. Your body moves leaving behind your poor back leg.
Your ankles move forward but your feet are trying so hard to stay on contact with the floor.
and then your feet give up and your ankle, after your back leg and front leg end up being near eachother, you want to zoom in so you don't get confused with which is which, this is the biggest mistake that i made. Basically, my stickman's front leg was hiding my back leg, which made me confused and made me reposition my back leg into my front leg and my front leg positioned into my back leg. like they switched places. Zoom in so you know which is which.
alright, so. After your front leg finally reaches it's destination and your back leg is behind your body, You restart. Repeat. After your front leg makes it's step. You repeat. Don't forget to keep moving the body. The back leg is supposed to get abandoned into one place then start to reunite to it's family. Then the front leg starts being the one who is abandoned by your whole body. and the back leg is repeating the same process that the front leg had.
And that's all. I hope you found my comment appealing to you and that you could understand. I tried my best.
A more effective way to animate practically anything is to replicate real life.
Walk across your rooms looking down at your hands and feet. You realise your back arm follows your front leg. and your front arm follows your back leg, They have the same movements. If you appear to have the arms not looking fluid when they are going back, contract them then move them back.
I love you bro thanks (no homo)
i started a running animation does that count?
Wait walking yikes when I was new I skipped all of that and my first was a fight scene it turned out very bad
@@zay_real Sure thing.
@@abdelwahabzafou6372 No problem, i'm glad i could help you.
Idfk why, but when i started to animate, i actually followed the footing rule straight away, but it doesnt have any flow and easing
Ivan Jann Animations that’s awesome!
Same
Same
@@Ryzng my walking stick men look like people twisting their legs badly while gliding across the never backround floor
I have lots of troubles when it comes to animating walking. Even in IRL I can't walk.
Edit: Why is everyone replying with :(
Edit: Oh. Guys I'm not disabled. I was kind of drunk when commenting this. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Sad to hear
:(
:(
Im sorry for that
You probably have jelly walk
This helped alot since i really had no patience and there isnt any flow in my animations and it looks very fast, i put patience and faith into it and now it looks like its alive!
3:12 that’s evil,
Justaguy AroundRUclips
can be in certain situations
What is?
@@dillonmarcellus6220 Abusing it.. like me
Ralph uses tweens
And they look dope af
I dont under stand how to use this
You forgot not moving the main anchor node lol
That would be optional in dialogue parts tho but it is indeed a common mistake that newbies do.
*when this bow & arrow holding stickman decides to randomly comment*
I’m a newbie so I’m not used to it yet I just downloaded it so I’m getting used to it
Gosh, you made this 5 years ago yet a chill person (you) is making me want to make a non-auto-Tween video rn (that Music put a smile on my face too lol)
What’s the Music called?
I still have A LOT of trouble with running and walking
Thanks dude, I do all this problems, mostly the lack of patience
Thanks! This felt like some animation tutorial (which it kinda was) and it helped me with my animation, Thanks man, and also, you just earned a new sub :D
I really do love your tutorials 🎉😊❤
Helped alot literally my animations looked stupid and i had no idead what was wrong now they look amazing thx
might have to remind you about the "if you animate a lot stickfigures" one because mainly people just messed up the movements in a group so it looks "trashy"
The 3 mistake is my
I make the things without patience
Number 1 can also be useful (if you want a character to slide)
as a Stick node animator I can say this really helped.
The way I make my figures walk is way less complicated but the results aren't so pro like. But then again it's just walking.
One things that helps me is getting a basic idea down, then fixing it up. Another way is slowing down the FPS and watching it to fix it up
same
I always do that, really helpful tip
More common mistakes
1. Overusing tweened frame and pretty much animating in tween itself (if people get pissed off me because i said it, tween is pretty much your comfort zone but if you go out and watch tutorials and basically follow them you'll be surprised)
2. Lacking flow is not that common, but for newbies... it is
flow is how you make the movements fluid and satisfying, also it decreases the grumpy look in an animation.
The video pretty much also sums it up so i can't think of anything now lmao
Who uses tween frame button for the easy stuff. Ex: Just easing a punch. Or unless you can't do it, or you just want to.
Btw, I am still in shadows. And I plan to never return
Example of flow:
Make a character high kick
Then make that high kick turn into running
Tan that running, make the character land a strong punch or something.
Thank you I do make all those mistakes 😂 I even stopped making because of that problem
This video helped me a lot thx
Thank you. As a beginner sticknodes user, this tutorial really helped me. you deserve more than 5k subs
Nah i got rid of these mistakes when i was 2 years into animating
Can you please send me the link for the music you used for this video, its really calming.
Another common mistake is using the "add tweened frame" button on movements, and actually using auto-tween.
So it is not just me who is anti-tween?
One way of easing is using the add tweened frame feature if you are making a animation with no tweening.
edit: Also, take your time, especially on Friday or Saturday, trust me, it's much better.
Correct!
I’m your one thousandth subscriber😁!!
Another Mistake is that overthinking you think it looks bad but in reality its actually good then you mess it up cause you thought it was bad
This actually helped more than the others thanks.
I remember when I used to make 4th wall animations with the default stick running into the animation corners lol
The mistake that I hate:
Forgetting to move the character so he doesnt looks like a doll
Nice tutorial but i van see some hard-to-spot mistakes in this animation
Thanks now i can try to fix my animations to do better
Oo man you just gave me an idea that stretch can be used to make a 3d animation. Thanks
Thanks to you I don’t use tweeting anymore thanks man :D
That humans Gain speed got me a idea
Two mistakes I’ve noticed are bad grammar (seriously, everyone has this problem.) and only moving one node each frame. (This occurs in most beginner animations)
The common mistake is people using _your_ instead of _you're._
Thx for the tutorial kinda thing.. now everyone will stop calling me trash
I fixed that mistake and I got good at animating so thx for the tips bro!
If your using a fast up 20 and 15 Speed or frame per second use 6 frames As a charging up And boom Add some effects camera shakes and Done
Its been 4 years since i started animating yay
I see differences now cuz im better at animating now but remember it took me 3 years to get good at my style and 1 year of getting used to it but maybe i started animating when i was 8
I've been in tae qwon do for 6 years and ITF sparring videos are amazing combo inspiration
5 and 3 as a beginner was no issue for me.
It's just mistake 1 now
The music is, And so it begins, by Artificial.music on apple music
Thanks, dude. Helped a lot!
heres another tip DONT USE TWEENING it is slopy and punishes you by ruiniing effects by adding the extra missing frames itll make blood and other effects flicker because they dont have one stickfigure moving the effect is made by getting one stick and adding frame deleting stick adding new stick adding frame. there for the tweening adds the ''missing frames'' aka adding extras when the stick isnt imagine you do what i said earlier on how to make the effect and add frames where the stick is deleted. lesson/tip over
lmk if this helped
Thanks for the tips
Your a legend if you animate like this ( i can make animation like that I have to zoom in ) 0:45
On my first time on sticknodes I already know how to make a walk cause my first animation was on stick fighter
Whats the music :3
Tip: you could lock the note on the leg of the character and continue the walk animation from there
or just not be lazy and use the ghost frames from the previous frames to follow the body position and footing.
For some reason i animate better when i'm tired. I woke up at like 4:00 am in the morning for no reason at all. Then watched a flow and ease tutoriql. And get this, I didn't copy it cuz it was just a ball moving. And my animation looked surprisingly good, And that was when i was freaking TIRED! Next thing you know. I'm refreshed and then try to animate again and my animation looks like garbage.
Same
I’m very “Mr.perfect” so for the walking thing, i Cant. Having partially floating frames makes me DIE, and plus i use “Tween (8)” because im not very advanced yet
Dang, I’m gonna make another RUclips acc and create stick node animations, thx for the vid!!
Bro I didnt even realize what does tweened frames do until i used it. It was so goddamn useful
Tweened frames basically make it like you moved the limb yourself even if you didn't, basically. If you just instantly make your arm go back. You can use add tweened frames to add absent movement.
The movement you did not make.
Thx so much for this now im always adding shadow effect for my anims (thats gonna be more hard) but it helps me so much
BLU3_D3MON I add shadows also. If you rig it correctly it won’t be hard but still pretty tedious.
@@Ryzng I think you should really make movie clips for the base and shadow that way it's easy.
Officially, I started animating 3 months ago. I didn't know how to animate walk/running so I just made the characters go forward. Last week, I made a walk animation but it's isn't smooth and nice, but today, I somehow managed to make a nice running animation with a fight scene. My problem was that I was too impatient. I managed to learn animating running and walking, it just takes patience.
But I "officially" started 3 months ago. I started animating on sticknodes since 2018 but I officially start it now. Okay, bye-
Hey man, thats really cool I can relate when I'm patient I make the best animations. But I'm super impatient a lot of time's but somehow staying up late makes me more patient, crazy.
Pressing the tweened frame makes it too smooth
To be true. Do humans
Ease That Smooth?
Do we look like we made o' butter?
Im making an animation but it was only supposed to be a test i added a boss fight to it and it became into a full animation
my worst mistake was supposed to removed from my mind but instead keep comes back....So i get back to this video and sit
i think maybe like animating someone like sans or somin. non flow is acouly looking cool rn for animating sans
Oof Should have Watched This Before Making An Animation I'm Disappointed With Myself For not watching this :|
I'm good at animating. The most important thing in animating here is time. If you rush. It won't come out great. One thing i cant perfect is stick fighting.
Edit: after downloading stick nodes on my new phone... I kinda lost the talent
(Ik that's impossible. But maybe it'll come back)
for the first one just add a floor and it will help an insane amount :/
Believe it or not I’m your 800th subscriber!
Marcelo Gamez Thanks for helping me hit a milestone!! 🎉🎉
Yo thanks this was very helpful
Thank you for the tips.
Ry: *flow is when good transitions into good*
Me: *cant make good movements because I’m bad at animation and drawing* well, frick
If I ease more and worked on dotting I would be golden thx for tips
3:43 lol hos shadow looks like a stand
I have been animating for a few months and this is literally my problem
Good tips. now i know that the guide is useful
How Do u make the Stickman look like that?
Oh my the nostalgia when i still had these mistakes. My lil brain back then thought it was soo good. 🥹
This is the sacrifice sanctuary theme
(From roblox)
nice vid now i know to animate
If you learn physics before in school, then you’ll get it basically
thanks for making this i can finnaly make a good animation
I just don’t when I should use the add tweeted Frame. When the attack is finished or starting?
When I use a background I go back to the frame before the next movement to see if I misplaced my feet
You should make a turtoriol on walking
I know how to do it but I still don't know How to make Those kinda Of Characters.
thanks for the useful advise
Damn ima try it
Thanks for vid it helped me tell me if something wrong about my animation on my channel i need the help
The first mistake is one i end up making when i'm using a BG, which is why i tend to not use BGs if i'm doing a run cucle
You should use the “show in front “ feature for the onion skin so that way you can see the footing better.
@@Ryzng ok thx, that should help with mah problem :)
Edit: Didn't think you'd heart mah comment, thx dude!
Thank you my animation look smother
This could help me a lot
what if you could lock parts of the stickfigure?
Why wouldn't it show the guide option on my screen?
I have trouble with easing when make or download figures I need to get used to them but even then I still have trouble when easing due to my lack of experience with stretch
Can you help? İ try to make animation or fight animation when i.The i'll do my all force to make good but my animation being slow or fast
