I made a generic stick figure in AS similar to the one in books by Richard Williams or Tony White. I use this to work out movements and gestures without the distraction of character details: Stick Figure v2

[edit: This file includes both versions: Stickman_v3.zip. See post below.]



It's basically an expanded version of the stick figure from this thread: The Animator's Survival Kit

Features:
* Compatible with Anime Studio 5.6 or later
* Base style can be altered via Style Palette
* Each view is a single bone and vector layer using point binding
* 5 views: front, quarter front, side, quarter back, back
Bonus: Extra front view with parts in separate layers so you can layer sort arms, legs, etc.

Hope some of you find this useful. Let me know what you think.

really nice, using switch folder to handle them while production

thanks so much

I like them but everytime I see your demo gif I hear a voice in my head say 'Oooo errr Missus, hot stuff comin through'

thanx mate , you r genius

Hey, thx! I'm usually not using other people's work, but this may become the exception from that rule.

Wow! Thanks a lot!

This is also helpful for me to study how to arrange different character views , 3/4, side, etc. for animating with bones.

Great stuff!

Thanks for the comments.

AnimationForum.net is running a contest for a 5-sec. intro for their videos. I thought I'd take a shot at it using a slightly improved stickman (ASP 8 ). Check out my entry here: Animation Forum "Set In Motion" Entry by neeters_guy

I only spent a day on it, but I did my best to sell the slapstick action. Hope you enjoy it, it's short and sweet.

A slight refinement to allow scaling of bones without deforming the ends.

Because the use of hold bones breaks the IK chain for the limbs, there is a separate skeleton to control the main skeleton. As before, this is 5.6 compatible. Download here: Stickman_v3.zip

Thank you for sharing, really good figures!

Nice job! this is a good idea

Tried animating some dance moves with your rig. Cool stuff. Definitely a great tool to test and figure out timing and poses.

Running man doesn't look right. Needs some refinement.

haha nice animation, Neeters. This is very handy. I think I'll "steal" it and do some fun animations with it.

thanks for share, bro
