Hi. I've attempted to compile a list of links to tutorials that are located within this forum. This may make it easier for users to find the tutorials they are looking for. Below are the ones I thought worthy to be linked to. Tutorials are in alphabetical order by author name, then by title of tutorial.

General Tutorials: (include many topics and are often very comprehensive)

Special Tutorials: (include advice on specific sequences in animations)

Theoretical Tutorials: (include general ideas and theories useful for animating)

Other: (include tutorials that are related to Pivot, but may require extra software, research, or websites)
    Jeremy's "" - some ways to write a critique and offer solutions
    Horriblepain's "" - the functions of the Pivot interface
    Plan B's "" - post an animation online
    Gawdzilla's "" - requires external program; allows better color quality in your .gif animation. GIMP is used
    PivotHops's "" - requires external program; allows better color quality in your .gif animation. Beneton Movie GIF is used
    Martial Arts Pose References - a site with many illustrations of realistic fighting poses
    Flare Knight's "" - a way to add sounds, music, and more to your animation
    LeoTHELion's "" - a way to add sounds, music, and more to your animation
    Fyrren's "" - how to compile Pivot animations into an interactive Flash animation
    Jon's"" - how to use the Pivot interface using an interactive Flash application
    Rotten's "" - the functions of Stykz and its interface

Below is the code I use for reference when adding a tutorial to the list. If there is information that should be updated in the coding, please notify me.
Code: Select all
[url=*insert link*][color=#3f3f7f]*insert current username of author*'s "[u]insert title given by author[/u]"[/color][/url] - *important notes regarding tutorial*

I hope that helps everyone. It took me hours to search and compile these, so give me a "Thanks!". It's much appreciated. PM me if you have any suggestions, and maybe I will add a tutorial, fix a problem, or change anything. Please don't fuck with my list without consulting me.
Revised by Darky. All redundant, broken, or useless tutorials have been removed. The thread (save for General Tutorials) has been re-organized so similar topics are grouped together. General Tutorials is now ordered from best - to - least best.

Nope. Pivot Chat or the Help Forums is the right place for that, not tutorial, depending on what, exactly, the problem is. Probably go to Help.

Well, this is a stickied topic so technically it isnt a bump...I think. But you still need to watch out for bumping, check the date of the last post. If it is about 1 to 1 and 1/2 weeks old, dont post. If you dont know the current date, go find out and then see if it is 1 to 1 and 1/2 weeks old.
