Pretty good.
Those are good was to achieve those effects. There ARE better ways, but at least if people watch this tut we should have a higher base standard.
By the way, the lightning part is broke. Might wanna fix that.

JackSmack responds:
as for the lightning thing thanks for telling me about that when I fixed the last problem I missed that little mistake I made. Thanks.
And as for being better ways to go about doing some things... yeah there are DEFINITELY better ways to make these effects. but what I'm doing here is simple yet cool effects that anyone can do. So yeah if you hand animate the special effect it will almost always look better but if you are pressed for time or you have weak drawing ability these effects will work nicely.
meh
its not that great, if someone needed to know how to make lightning they probobally wouldnt know how to make characters or anything important in a flash. so what you did was worthless to everyone, unless someone wanted to make a flash about vicious scenery. it was good but it wont help the people that are allready making flashes and it wont help the noobies like you wanted. noobies at flash want to know how to make people or creatures so they can have a "star" to their flash they dont want to know how to make water ripple.
JackSmack responds:
Ummm you didn't notice this is animation tutorial 4??? check the other tutorials... open mouth insert foot... chew well...
We don´t need your tutorials!
Hey dude! Nobody needs your tutorials! Good idea at all, but WE KNOW HOW ANIMATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But if you start making movies, where you use your animations you could get better rewiews. But keep going!
JackSmack responds:
Ok... I know if I put up cartoons I would get good scores... not worried about cartoons though. I don't care about my score all that much... alot of people really like my tutorials and there is nothing wrong with sharing information with people who want it.
Also.. you said we know how to animate... I checked your work and it is mostly sprite work. nothing wrong with sprite flash... but there are people who are trying really hard to make good flash from scratch. I'm making these for them... You already know how to make good art for your cartoons... I'm making these for everybody else.
And yes I agree no one needs my tutorials... but then again... no one really needs anything other than food, water, and shelter do they?
Wow that was corny... OK... ya. Glad you liked my tutorial there neobyte... you gave me warm fuzzies.
Nice effort...
... but you have a long way to go before you can teach people particle animation effectively. You're fire and smoke were pretty sophmoric. Try building up your frame by frame skills. I recommend researching other artists' renderings of water/fire animation, such as Bitey of Brackenwood.
JackSmack responds:
Yep... I have to admit it's not the best looking smoke on the planet. But it is alot better than some people can do.
and yes when I work on animations with special effects I don't make my fire like this but it does look like fire and is great for small file sizes.
I'm not saying I'm great at anything... I'm just saying this is a convinicing way to make fire.. smoke... or other effects. This tutorial is for people who wonder how they can make good effects with the least amount of drawing possible, and I think they work pretty well... but yes not perfect.
Thanks for the review.
