Anybloodyid Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Welcome to my Animation Gallery ****************************************************** After a long absence I am finally back unfortunately my images were no longer available so I have decided to start from scratch. ***************************************************************************************************** My first animation is a very simple walking stick figure using only 4 images. The four images that create the animation, the lines are to make sure that the feet always end up in the right place And this is what it looks like when animated with out the lines. (Very Basic) but it will get better, promise. =================================================================================================================== Next stage is to get something that looks like legs and get them to walk, you could draw them yourself and scan them or do what I have done and download a free image from the internet and manipulate it. below is the image I downloaded. After manipulation I end up with four images And when the four images are animated we get the following slowed down so you can see what is happening. You should notice that the leg nearest to us is not really doing anything it just swings back and to. Add four more images this time making the leg nearest to us do some walking and we end up with 8 frames constantly repeated and more realistic. ============================================================================================================= Whistling Willie Now the legs have a body and a name and a solid floor to walk on. Next is to get him to move from left to right instead of walking on the spot. ========================================================================================================= Below is a very basic 8 frame animation with Willie on a background and a tree that moves from right to left. Obviously you would need more frames to make it run smoother but I'm only showing the principle of animation. ================================================================================================================= Finished background still as Willie moves across the scene (24 frames) Edited May 6, 2020 by Anybloodyid New Image 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hello @Anybloodyid and Please don't feel intimidated. We all had to start, like you, and I can tell you that my first attempt was nowhere near as good as this amazing bleeding heart you just posted. Please do begin a Gallery and post what you have made. That way we can comment and advise, if necessary.

hippiechos Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 You're starting out better than I did. I couldn't even get the sides of my hearts to be even, plus your lightning bolt follows a logical path, instead of curving off at some weird angle. So yeah, keep at it, because you've got a pretty good start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixey Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 That sure looks very cute @Anybloodyid and would be even better if it were bigger. Can I give you a few pointers, if you don't mind. If I'm not mistaken you are uploading your images directly into the forum? A much better way is this: 1. Upload your images to an outside host like Photobucket or Imgur. 2. With Photobucket - after you upload you can then copy the code for either IMG or IMGThumb and then post that into your post. 3. With Imgur you upload and copy the last 7 digits of your image code, then go to the little green dot in the black square on the top right Tool bar in this thread and you will get a pop-up window open. Add the 7 digits to this. This way your image will appear in your thread as a thumb which is clickable to a larger image.
