I've recently discovered Pivot.

For those who don't know, Pivot is a free animation making program for making stick animations.
It's good for practice and making shorter animations, and it can really hone your stick animating skills!

Anyhow, here you can get Pivot if you feel like trying. (This is Pivot 3.0, don't try 2.5.5 cuz it kinda sucks...)

Pivot 3.0

Also there are threads here on NG, where you can post your stick animations, but also you can go to PivotDarkness.
It's a whole community for Pivot animations, and there are some nice guys to help you with using Pivot and that you can chat with about anything you want. My good friend 8ftsantivajr is an administrator there as well, and he's made some cool pivots too. So go check it out!

It's a pretty laid back place, everyone's animations are good enough! It has a real-time chat, different forum sections and the same easy to use interface as Maxxhi5!

Also try Maxxhi5, we'll be having more VSTs there soon, we will probably have a game there at some point, but that project is on hold right now...

Till next time. Oh and have a nice holiday!
