Pivot Stickfigure Animator


Pivot makes it easy to create stick-figure animations. You can build your own stick figures and load your own backgrounds. The animations can be saved as animated gifs to be used on web pages. An example animation is
included.
An msn group for Pivot can be found here

Pivot animation can be saved as GIF, and then you can upload it to internet.
Here are some file hosting links: www.imageshack.us, www.putfile.com, http://picsplace.to/

You can also put sounds to pivot animation.

1.First, download Flash MX from here.
2.Then you can download different sounds from http://www.darkdemon.org/downloads.php <--- There.
(You can download other stuff from there also, like different guns, swords, etc.)
3.Setup Flash MX, and open it.
4.Then open your GIF animation to Flash MX.
5.Then press "File" -> "Import" -> "Import to library" -> Choose the sounds you want to use in your animation.
6.Choose the frame where you want to put a sound.
7.Then you should see a "Properties" -window at the bottom of the screen.
8.Then, press "Sound" (Which you can find at the properties window) and choose the sound you want to put in
that frame.
9.When you have putted all the sounds you want, press "File" -> "Export" -> "Export movie" -> Set a name to
your animation, and save it as flash.

And before you export your animation, press "Modify" -> "Document" -> and put the "Dimensions" 800 x 600. And
you can speed up your animation by increasing the FPS (Frames Per Second).

And you can upload animations that are saved as .swf, to the same file hosting sites. (Imageshack, Putfile, Picsplace)

Here are my three newest animations:
1.http://img7.picsplace.to/img7/1/fghih.swf (Newest)
2.http://media.putfile.com/fighting_long
3.http://media.putfile.com/ani92

Post your animations here.
 
Meh, it's not particularly good. It doesn't give the freedom that, say, flash would allow in stick figure fights. For instance, you can't foreshorten things. You can't have something that is normally quite long point toward the camera, for instance.

Also, it's difficult to rotate things. (you have to rotate each point manually) The slides are difficult to edit once you've done them.

Also, there are no options for adding onion slices (from previous and after frames), you also can't have the last frame shadow onto the first for looping animations.
 
Yeah, I know this isn't very versatile program, but it doesen't cost anything.
And newest pivot version (3 beta, which you can only get from msn groups) isn't the final version, and when the new version of pivot comes out, it'll cost.

I think it will come much more versatile program.

E: And of course flash are more better program than this, but it costs and are more difficult to use.
 
I love Pivot!! These are all the things I have done. And I in the middle of one about paintball but am short of time so won't be finishing it soon. :sad: Unfortunatly.

Star Wars was cool
Btw how long it takes to make them.
And how you draw them does i need to draw evry stick figure 100x times
 
IMO the last three are the best.

Thank you for the feed back. :smile:

It's not fast. But when you save a frame the next frame looks just like the one before it then you move the stick figures apopratly. (hope that makes sence)

Does anybody know hoe to get the Gifs to animate faster than what looks like 10 frames a second?

Anyway, here are mine.

I like to make them loop.
They'd be better if i could get the frame rate up on the Gifs.
 
@otzur: can u upload the new version on rapishare, coz the msn group wants me to sign up, create a hotmail account and do all things i wouldnt like 2. Others maybe feel the same way.
