Pivot: Not the shitty stickfigure animator you always knew - Games

[img]http://imageflock.com/img/1240768038.gif[/img] Pivot is a very simple stickfigure animating program that is usually stereotyped with little kids with little to no experience that posts shitty animations on their youtube accounts. Pivot can actually be used to make some amazing stuff, like the gif above. Pivot has no set website to download from, but it isnt too hard to google it. edit: i actually found the creator of pivot's website: [url]http://pbone.it-mate.co.uk/pivot.htm[/url] Other rape-quality animations: [img]http://yourimg.in/u/files/kv2jcyus.gif[/img] [img]http://yourimg.in/u/files/2g6f9htu.gif[/img] Pivot can also be used for backgrounds/scenery: [img]http://yourimg.in/i/4tg4k6.PNG[/img] [img]http://yourimg.in/i/53ecu5.PNG[/img] [img]http://yourimg.in/i/3ki8w5.PNG[/img] There are 4 different "ranks" of skill in pivot, as created by darkdemon.org (the main pivot website): beginner, intermediate, veteran, and elite. Only the best of the best of the better get into the elite. You advance in rank by posting a thread in the beginner section, and making a poll. You post your animations, and people vote on what they think you are. (low-beginner, high-beginner, inter, ect) Once you are confident enough you are ready to advance, you send some of your animations to a judge. They will decide if you advance or not. Helpful Links: Droidz.org - The best place to download .stks Darkdemon.org - The main place to post your animations [url]http://www.pivotanimation.net/forum[/url] - the actual official pivot website, but I prefer darkdemon.org as it was made by Bert and Jon. Plus, this is less used. Notable Animators: anyone with a thread in the elite section of darkdemon.org Jon AKA Liquidsword Bert Most admins on darkdemon.org please dont use this thread to troll and/or complain about how bad kids on youtube are

the second one is amazing

I wish I had the patience to learn arty things like this

Wouldnt really consider it a game, But its still fairly entertaining. Havent made anythnig with it in years though

[QUOTE=pedroion;25800596]I have the patience but not the talent. Best thing I've ever made was a looping walking stickman. And it sucked. :argh:[/QUOTE] Talent does not substitute skill. A person may be talented with a pencil, but he can not substitute a master sketch artist. The point is, even if you apparently "suck", if you have the patience then you will learn. To be honest, the "I lack talent" excuse is pretty shitty.

The only problem with Pivot is the need to do everything frame by frame. Unless they added some more features to it? [editline]2nd November 2010[/editline] Actually nope, as far as I can tell it's still Pivot 2 from like 50 million years ago.

One of my first "hit" youtube videos. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlJZ6HBB1w[/media]

[QUOTE=gnoob;25803377]I wish I could jizz elephants[/QUOTE] With the new Pivot 2.0 it's just a click away! get it now!

I was intermediate on the MSN group, I knew the guy who made the best shit on this, his name was atok nirro or something (I think)

Oh wow, I remember this. I never really grasped the concept of drawing in it but it was a lot of fun.

Oh fuck nostalgia

heres the first animation i have made in, what, 4 years? [img]http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/5030/pogoleg.gif[/img] hmm, the gif slowed it down a ton cba to fix it

[url]http://www.filefront.com/14447601/Pivot-3-beta/[/url] the beta from ages ago that was never finished. the layout is improved & you can add sprites

Man you are late, i found this like 4 years ago.

I like the toast war

Why is this in general games?

I use Pivot, i guarantee, once you get skilled, is easy as fuck and you do REALLY good anims [editline]2nd November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Edthefirst;25801230]The only problem with Pivot is the need to do everything frame by frame.

Ahh Pivot. I miss it, but it was hard as fuck.

I used to frequent Droidz a lot. They said I was decent at making props, but was never any good at animating. :(
