#BEST STYKZ COMPILATION SERIES#
Version 0,684 allowed me to export to series of bitmaps, so that I could compile into a stream video, but to make a better and smoother video I had to use screen capturing instead when playing ready animation in TISFAT (I used SimpleScreenRecorder for it).Īnother problem I have encountered is with Youtube where I uploaded my video. But 0.705 could not work well with the project saved in 0.684.
#BEST STYKZ COMPILATION WINDOWS#
Windows verion (0.705) is much better from this perspective. Haha.Īnd unfortunately, as I found later, it did not manage to export my animation to AVI although there is such a function in the menu. By the way,this Linux version of TISFAT required Wine anyway. The drawbacks (as it discovered later) is that version (0.684) for Linux was very basic and did not allow rotate objects (except stickfigures that you manipulate the way you want). It may seem a bit more complicated but I felt very compfortable with it. In the two previous tools you need to draw movement frame by frame.Īnd TISFAT uses object approach – you operate not drawing and frames like in the tools above but with timeline based on keyframes and objects. Tweening allows you to just set a new position for the object and the object automatically moves to the new position. Although this tool is pretty new (it’s version is even below 1.0), it uses tweening that helps saves a lot of time when drawing. But Pivot did not go on my Linux using Wine as is so I played with Stykz. I wanted to make a really simple animation and did not want much bells and whistles, so I could go with any of the tools. Community for Stykz is much less developed that for Pivot. However there is a new beta version of pivot (4.1) released in Janualry 2013, whereas Stykz was updated last time only in 2011. You can find the comparison of Skykz and old versions (2012) of Pivot here. It was intended as an advanced version of Pivot. It is the oldest and the most popular tool that has tons of fans with their compunity that shares models and image libararies you can use in your stickfigure cartoons (see section “External links” at )
It is a frame-based animation tool (you draw frame by frame unlike TISFAT – see below). – Classic and very popular Pivot Stickfigure Animator.
#BEST STYKZ COMPILATION SOFTWARE#
The list of Stickfigure animation software I chose from are below At the same time you can create something truly original. These animation tools are really simple and let you to create something quite watchable even if you do not have artistic talents or any talents at all. Person stick figure model is already built and you may use it right away (as I did), not creating your own models. They are simple flat models of a person or anything with built-in basic inverse kinematics. The main characters used in these tools are stick figures.
Since I wanted a free, easy and quick way to make my video, I finally narrowed my choice options to Stickfigure animation tools.
It was a first step to investigate what tool I will choose. I encountered a helpful Q&A page which has links to simple online animation tools and software. – I wanted to create an animation video easily and quickly. This post can be useful for complete noobs in animation (like me) as a starting point to make their first cool oscar-nominated masterpiece. Web hosting seduces a clientThis is actually not a versatile research post but rather a short summary of my experience of creating a fun stickfigure animation with elements of strip dancing for the article series about choosing a web hosting.
