In Stickman you control the character with the control points tool which allows smooth movements, skeleton simulation and custom graphics. The philosophy is to separate the building structure of figures from the animation tools, which makes Stickman easy to use even for children. |
 |
A figure can have multiple levels of control points, which helps you to improve the animation later or add secondary animation after the primary animation. Notice the key frame preview zooms in the head automatically, thanks to "view" node in the hidden figure description. |

Stickman comes with many premade figures. Choose from a variety of backgrounds, figures, items and utils. You can also create your own library by creating a new folder in the "My Documents\stickman\packages" directory. School classes can share the user directory to broadcast figures to the whole computer lab. Easy to maintain and easy to use. |
 |
With color tool you can recolor all figures or backgrounds to create your own style. |
 |
The matrix tool lets you move, rotate, scale or flip all figures with the same tool. |
 |
The snapshot function (the photo camera in bottom-right corner) exports a still image to PNG, JPG, TIFF or GIF with resolution up to 3000x3000 pixels. This is excellent for printing T-shirts with your own cartoon figure. |
 |
The switch tool is used to animate things that can be turn on or off like blinking. |
 |
A figure can have preset poses that is set by typing a key at the keyboard. |
 |
In Stickman, you can lock control points to their position. |
 |
In Elemento you can create graphics by vector graphics or pictures and build animation controls like control points and switches. Everything is build up of small elements that have properties and actions. A property can be linked to another property at design time. Elemento supports powerful spreadsheet-like expressions that are executed at run time. |
 |
Create infinite number of patterns with the revolve and repeat node in Elemento. This is funny and can also be used in art or music illustrations. |
 |
Elemento supports images and effects like swirl, underwater and grayscale. All effects can be programmed with expressions and animated in Stickman. |
