OK fellas here is the deal I checked Droidz and some other piv sites and I cant seem to find decent Effects.
I am talking mostly about Explosions, Dust, smoke, blood, speed and such.
I would be grateful if you could share with me. (mm

If there is someone skilled enough, could someone make me Explosions and dust effects with similar to Nanatsu no Taizai anime effects? (I like the momentum in those, it's so goddamn Epic)

Regards.

I tried that, but I simply Suck. Which is the reason I am asking for them.

You should also ask for already animated movements to go with your effects.

You can't learn else you first suck and you're going to suck for a while until you get ok'ish. Your movements aren't at the point where you should have elite effects. We learn by doing, right?

Yeah, but I would really want some decent explosions since all that is in droidz looks pretty bad. So that is base of what I need.(I am asking for them since I want to focus on animating)

I disagree with this statement. Some of the droidz effects are somewhat decent, some others are really bad.
But overall, there is that "droidz" influence that makes everything looks bad. The sticks are considered like default-ish, overused sticks.

If someone were about to make one single, super cool explosion, and many pivoters were about to use it, then it gets "worse" because it is too much used.

That's why it is recommended to create new effects on the go. There's just so much ways of making explosions.

Everything in droidz's stick database looked so nice in the early ages of pivot (2005~2010)

I meant explosion stuff. I got dust that looks pretty nice and some other stuff too. So I was talking about explosions.

There is so much ways and I dont even know one.... (cry
