Start off with a build up, then get gradually faster, then ease it off. /-/--/---/----/-----/----/---/--/-/ (easing diagram) / = frame - = movement to make it look smooth do that you also want to watch your foot placing so it doesnt like, go through the ground/stage Yong's Foot Placement Tutorial will help that out greatly take a look at some Intermediate or Pro animations and see how their movements are, easing, foot placement, joints, etc. dont try to make anything really complex to start off with, its hard and annoying, so start off small to upload your animations to your thread, put them in .gif format and post the url or img you can use imageshack or pivotup as your upload provider (pivotup would probably be best) for complete (or at least most of) bbc: Spoiler: click to toggle Code: `[b]A bold statement[/b]` turns into A bold statement Code: `[i]Italics[/i]` Italics Code: `[u]Underline[/u]` Underline Code: `I want one a [s]red[/s] blue one` I want one a ~~red~~ blue one Code: `CH[sub]4[/sub]` CH₄ Code: `x[sup]2[/sup]` x² Code: `[big]big[/big] [big][big]bigger[/big][/big]` big bigger Code: `[small]Smaller text[/small]` Smaller text Code: `[color=green]Green text[/color]` Green text Code: `[bgcolor=lightgreen]A background for text[/bgcolor]` A background for text Code: `[border=red]bordered[/border] [border=blue,3]bordered[/border] [border=green,1,dotted]bordered[/border]` bordered bordered bordered Code: `[center]centered[/center]` centered Code: `[right]right aligned[/right]` right aligned Code: `[font=verdana]A different font[/font]` A different font Code: `[html]<html> <head> <title>Pivot Forum</title> </head> <body> <p class="intro">Welcome[/p] <body> </html>[/html]` Code: HTML `<html> <head> <title>Pivot Forum</title> </head> <body> <p class="intro">Welcome[/p] <body> </html>` Code: `[code]int x = y; x++;[ /code]` Code: `int x = y; x++;` Code: `[url=http://s14.zetaboards.com/Pivot_Forum/]Pivot Forum[/url] or [url]http://s4.zetaboards.com/Pivot_Forum/[/url]` Pivot Forum or http://s4.zetaboards.com/Pivot_Forum/ Code: `[img]http://209.85.62.24/static/avatars/107.png[/img]` Code: `[email=user@example.com]Email me[/email] or [email]user@example.com[/email]` Email me or user@example.com Code: `[flash=250,210]http://www.youtube.com/v/z7SeHqxOVYc[/flash]` Code: `[list] []Item 1 []Item 2 []Item 3 [/list]` Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Code: `[me] can speak in 3rd person` [me] can speak in 3rd person Code: `A line that[hr]divides` A line that divides Code: `You may want to hide something from accidental viewing: [spoiler]or the secret may be spoiled[/spoiler]` You may want to hide something from accidental viewing: Spoiler: click to toggle or the secret may be spoiled Edited by ViviOmega*, Nov 2 2009, 11:22 PM.
