If your to lazy to practice, then you will never get better, what do you expect, nobody is going to take you by the hand and teach you everything, i'm sorry but thats just not how things work... sorry, practice and take tutorials good luck...

and on a side note....

Otacon's links and tutorials for N00bs - V3

First of all you need an animating program based on Flash. The main tool is called Macromedia Flash, however there are a lot of other ones that are based on Flash but are free. Before trying any of those, you should get the free 30 day trial for Macromedia Flash.

Flash MX 2004 30 day trial: http://www.macromedi..ex.cfm?product=flash

The price for it is a little over 500$. However you can buy it for much cheaper at the following links:

http://www.amazon.com - Hehe, these guys have everything on sale. Almost always :P
http://www.ebay.com

If you are student, you can also get a much cheaper copy (around $190 for Studio MX) from educational websites such as:

http://www.campustec..index.html?E+scstore

http://www.academics..dia&qs_platform=
http://www.journeyed..amp;SKW=VPmacromedia

It is understandable that you might not want to pay for it. Then you can get a free flash maker. Check out this thread posted at NG bbs about Free flash makes:

http://newgrounds.co../topic.php?id=153186

After you get the program(Flash) and install it, get started in this animated example:

Flash 3d. Flash has absolutely no support for 3d. Yet you can mimic 3d or use a 3d program and export 3d into swf format. Here are few programs and resources you can start from:

- 3d out-of-the-box, n00b proof
http://www.swift3d.com - The best 3d flash editing program.

Now, guys you have your movie ready? Full of sounds, sprites, a preloader, good animation, drawing, maybe a game(?), some stopmotion. Of course not :P Your first movie will be crappy. We understand that. Don't submit your first movie. You might wanna upload it at NG to show it to your friends. All you need for that is a free web host. Check out the link below:

First off i would like to say, lucky design is not an asshole, personally i consider him an e-friend, he is a cool guy, yeah, he can use some work, but i'm going to request to see his part first, and furthermore, you guys don't know how tough it is to put together a collab like feel good inc, it was a great collab...

anyways, if you guys get dicouraged by joncars post... fine, be that way... but just remember that... the funks your brother

Hello everyone, darx here, i'm going to start a serious series soon, its going to be anime(ish) and i'm going to work very hard on it, and i was wondering if anyone would be interested in making music for the series...

The theme is going to be heavenly battles and war ect, so you can think about symphonic and orchastic stuff...

some type of songs...

1. Battle songs (war and officers)
2. suspencefull songs
3. songs for conversation
4. (possibly) a theme song
