Deleted ALL my animations and reset my thread, so bare with me as I start adding my animations. I felt all of my aniamtions were bad and had a LOT of room for improvement. So newest will be showing at the top and the others will be under the 'Others' category and click my animations for the .piv file. Enjoy! biggrin)

But view it as the .piv file to see the original speed because uploading messes it up :/

It was pretty good, in the first one, you did your flips really well.
It looked really realistic, but the movement wasn't that good, in
conclusion if I were to judge I would give you beginner med :D.

Very well, but you should work on your foot placement .Also, when you save the gif. file it must look like this:

If you are still having troubles with your animations try to upload them in different site :) .

Thanks, all the others are fine but the flip one is quite slow compared to what it is was, while making it. But when i tried to increase the frame rate, it became too fast sconfused)

I Really Like Your Flips, They Are Pretty Good. But If We Take A Look On The Running Or The Walk, You Need To Make Them More Smooth. But I Say You're About Low-Med Beginner. (I'm Sorry, But I Have Seen So Many Ranking On This Site So)
But I'm Jealous 'Cause Your Flips Are Really Good. (thumbsup)

Good Day~.

They are all quite good, the flips were slow but I think that would have been due to the upload, and not really your fault
I wouldn't know what to rate you as, as I've only just started, but overall, great animations!
And Jesus said unto them, "And whom do you say that I am?"

They replied, "You are the eschatological manifestation of the ground of our being, the ontological foundation of the context of our very selfhood revealed."

And Jesus replied, "What?"

You are getiing much better, and are learning the basics,
but something I have critisize on is the punches.
When you punch, you have to make it have some power,
so to do that I would suggest moving the elbows a little
backwards and make a big movement in the punch. By
doing this it will show some power, also if you want to
make it a little stronger you could make a running seen
and a straight punch. These are just minor problems,
If you keep working on it it will be much better, good luck!

These animations are Low Beginner.

All of your animations show a great deal of choppiness and stiffness. And shaky areas as well. In your punch test animation there was so little spacing those movements weren't punches at all.

In the run loop he suddenly went up in the air. What was that for? And you spaced your movements so low that that was barely a walk too.

You should really try easing your animations to show better powers and feelings of the basics. Try clicking through your frames to see if any of your joints are falling out of place so you can remove the choppy and shakiness in your animations. Then make sure you move every joint in each frame for your stiffness to reduce.

Courtesy? (Meaning you comment on my thread)

wow thanks a lot for such a detailed analysis. But i have to agree, stiffness is kind of my biggest error. I try to move every joint in every frame but sometimes I forget and then it becomes annoyingly stiff... But i will take into account everything you said, so thank you again!
