I promised ageeeeeeeeeeees ago that i'd do some flash tutorials, and today i managed to find some time to scrape one together.
I've seen endless tutorials on dA teaching people how to tween a circle across a screen, one even spent 10 mins faffing around with "LOL aren't i funny" before getting to that tweeny circle part.
Which is a big waste of time.
So, here's a tutorial from me. Its straight to the point and should be user friendly, though if you do come across any bugs or problems let me know!
The First tutorial i have for you is: Walk Cycles.
Why? Because they are the trickiest things to get right and the also teach you the idea behind key frames, inbetweens and a little bit of easing, so it should be a fun start.
I hope this helps out those people that have wanted to animate their characters but haven't the slightest clue where to being.
For this tutorial i'd recommend using flash 8 and a pen tablet, though other flashes will still work, flash 8 proves to be a little less of a hastle to work with.
Hope you enjoy~
You can download a trail version of flash at adobes website
I want to get Flash really bad. I went to Adobe.com and all they have is Flash Professional CS6. Is this what you use? If not, could you link me to the version you have or where you bought it?
he still uses his cs3 i think, believes its better for making frame by frame. he says he wants to try out toonboom, but you know, cant dish out about a thousand bucks on anything
