Anyone here make animations?

Hey. Does anyone here make animations? I do. I use a program called pivot to make animations. We even made a page in youtube. (Note much luck though)

I hate pivot, just saying. Useless.
IMO even if you're making stick figures, flash or gif would do better.

why don't you try Gimp? -and make .gif animations... It's fast 'n' easy

LOL... I wish I could do flash! I'm still a beginner at animating stuff so maybe when I get better in making stick animations, maybe I can proceed to making flash or gif.

true.. true

epic randomness! XD

I use Poser Pro 2010, its awesome, i have a channel on youtube but its of adult content so be warned. No nudity but very risky.
I set out doing animations hoping to get work but serious attempts saw no interest, so i spiced them up a little and what do you know, i got some interest and some work lol
Well take a look if you have time, Poser has a steep learning curve but has brilliant rewards

Remember , not for kids !!!!

I use Animator (Anim8tor)...But it can be a bit tough to use at first.

Good free stuff though.

woah! I should have checked that more carefully! But anyways, They're pretty awesome! Maybe if I master Pivot, I might do some harder and more complicated animation using maybe flash.?? I have a long way to go! XD

I use Adobe Flash. Pretty hard and complicated at first though. LOL

I use good old fashioned way, making photos into motion.

Like taking photos of something? Then when you finally got enough photos, you put it together to make it look like it's moving? Cause I remember doing that with my friends.

I make animations too but I am not that good. I use Blender.

Hm... Blender? Never heard of it... what's it like?

Good stuff, take a look

Get Muvizu

Animation software has made a big leap forward.
Go to muvizu.com, and download the free beta muvizu animation program.
It uses the Unreal Tournament II game engine.
Two words, awe-some.

This is my first effort with it.

Blender is wonderful! It's just as good as 3D Studio Max - though they both work in completely different ways so it's a hard compare (Well, there are some similarities come to think of it).

Blender is an open-source application, so it's 100% free. And it's professional.

I personally use Blender for all my animations in 3D (for .gif, I'm a sucker for GIMP, too ). Although I have a 64 bit OS, and 64-bit Blender is a bit wacky and cannot calculate algorithms correctly. Or maybe that's just me... hm... Anyway, it's not very demanding for a 3D-animation software (can run on laptops with some movement-lag), and if you're interested - feel free to watch some Blender-made movies on YouTube! Like "Elephant's Dream" or "Big Buck Bunny".

Oh, I forgot to mention that Blender has a built-in game physics engine (more or less) - thus it's 100% possible to make games with blender, just as easy. The game "Yo, Frankie" is made in Blender. However Blender will require a lot of practice, possibly even years of practice (used it for 5 years now, still cannot perform advanced stuff ).
