Surely many of you remember the animations made with the simple-drawn dolls (stick dolls) that were so fashionable in their day. Now we can create animations in Android of this type with the Stick Fighter application available in the Play Store .
The process to create an animation of this type is really simple, we will not need anything more than the application, creativity and a little patience. They are animations that are made with very elementary geometric figures (lines, circles, etc.) , but with which we can obtain very funny results.
Create animations on Android with Stick Fighter.
It is a very simple application that occupies little space and requires few resources, so we can enjoy Stick Fighter on virtually any Android device .
In a first step, we add to our scene the different elements , such as the characters (dolls), weapons, utensils, etc. We can create our custom shapes using lines, circles and other simple geometric shapes.
Once we have all the elements of the scene, we can rotate them, change their size, change their color, move them, etc. The characters and objects incorporate a very simple system of articulations , which takes on special importance when it comes to "giving life" to the elements and achieving effects such as walking, greeting, moving the arms, etc.
We will be composing each of the frames of the animation, in fact, to help us, the application includes a system that indicates with a gray shadow the position of the elements in the previous frame , this allows us to create an animation with greater precision.
Once the animation process is finished, we can save the result in MP4 format to be able to share it across the internet.
The application is completely free and we can download it from Google Play , but from time to time we will skip some screens with advertising that we can close and continue using Stick Fighter without major problem.
I thought it was a great tool to create stickers or animations to animate conversations in Telegram or WhatsApp groups.
