why are you doing this

>>7619429
Why are you like this?

>>7619429
my autism isnt satisfied until i see everything in proper order
now we know we're on thread number ten with the previous thread's most voted for anim as the OP image
just like its supposed to be

Hope I can one day contribute to these threads.
t. begfag tradtard

>>7619429
dude these resources are my lifeline right now. i’m so glad they’re organized and pinned to the top here that i can’t even explain.
>always trying to search youtube and google and failing
op pic is the animated contest winner we picked from the previous thread, too. (feelsgoodman.jpeg)
i’m down for this

>>7619417
Make a torrent. I will seed it forever.

>>7619460
Honestly, an animation torrent would be really nice.
We already have animation focused content in the general /ic/ torrent, but a specialised torrent is always welcomed.

>>7619460
>>7619474
holy yes

>>7619443
U can study form and motion concurrently! U can make animation with as little as a pad of paper and a camera. Make us a bouncing ball!

>>7619408 (OP)
Thank you OP I love you my nigga.

>no thread theme
its joever...

>>7619613
Dafuq is a thread theme?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Opk_kqU1wX8

>>7619642
the op usually has a thread theme that no one pays attention to
but i was going to........ in this thread......

>>7619408 (OP)
Oh shit, mine won? Thanks lads, although honestly Kottoanon, I don't think anyone would fault you if you put your stuff in the OP considering you carry this general haha

>>7619485
I'm stretched thin with my current study regimen so I'll have to pass. Keep this general alive for uhh... 2 years and I swear I'll return

>>7619569
all my this

also been animating all day
>only know frame-by-frame but yeah
so many troubles and such perfect happiness in trying to sketch one sequence.

>>7619417
>>7619418

>>7619427
maybe a rentry instead?

>>7619408 (OP)
any tips on making character's movements look more natural

>>7620172
i'll need to see your character anim to diagnose you but some common tips i've found helpful are :
ground/anchor them to their pivot (the feet or arms if they're leaning on a table/wall) floaty movement always looks off
utilize the eye blink more often new animators forget to close the eyes every once in a while it also helps add arch to an otherwise plain head turn (instead of plainly tracking from left to right add a blink between so the head leans in a bit before settling in the new direction)
don't shy away from anticipation and overshoot frames humans being soft flesh muscle bags means even the slightest shift in weight warrants overshoot frames even if its super subtle the subconscious picks up on it
avoid twinning/mirroring arm gestures (at least offset one hand's movement by ~4 frames to make it feel more organic) unlike anims human muscles don't sync up 1:1 and that added variance bring more life to the motion

>>7620172
study real life

Any recommendations for storyboarding courses/books/videos?

in krita. is there a way to have changes done to duplicate frames show up on the other like in csp

>>7620181
thanks for the tips bro
>>7620194
well obv, but the thing is sometimes there is techniques people can use to imitate life more realistically
for example smear frames for faster actions taken by characters

>>7620461
>>7620181
>avoid twinning/mirroring arm gestures (at least offset one hand's movement by ~4 frames to make it feel more organic) unlike anims human muscles don't sync up 1:1 and that added variance bring more life to the motion
Amen to this, especially when it comes to tweening. I feel like a lot of people get a bit turned off by some of the precision/high framerate of it, so things like this are seriously very important. It keeps your movement from looking like a cheap cardboard cutout just moving versus a varied character with weight.

Not to say that it's easier if you do frame by frame, but I find (having done so myself as well), you can trick the brain a bit more and give it some leeway when you're redrawing frames. My theory is that there's some visual interest in seeing the animation move, but with tweening, since it's all puppeted, you have to make the motions even more engaging to sell it. Hell, even line boil adds a lot to stationary limbs to give an impression of breathing, that "this is a living person," so to speak.

GUYYYyYYS come on why is nobody posting their animations :c
regardless, here is a quick blink animation i made

>>7620494
Animation takes time anon!!! You should know that...unless you're kottoanon who is a madlad with pumping them out quickly.

I do like how your blink animation is varied in timing, not just a repeated loop of the same rhythm of blinks (if that makes sense). Have you played around with different timings of your keyframes to achieve different kinds of blinks? I found my favorite blink style tends to have overshoot in it.

>>7619460
i'll look into it fren

>>7619613
>>7619650
thread theme is discuss your favourite animated movie/series
tell us what shot really impressed you
post animation studies of siad shots you might've done

>>7619569
i love you too fren
<3<3<3

>>7619659
nah yours is more eye-catching
its easier to spot in the catalog

>>7619881
i'll set one up eventually
but to be honest i like posting link dumps
ther's a nice feel to it ykow seeing the thread lush with resources
the visual add this vibe to it yknow like i know what i'm doing (i don't lol)

>>7620494
hold the blink frame for a bit longer

>>7620496
>unless you're kottoanon who is a madlad with pumping them out quickly
hehe thanks fren : DDD
i'm trying for atleast one animated loop daily for a year
i'll start posting that built up back log on instagram or something

>>7620526
>nah yours is more eye-catching
>its easier to spot in the catalog
Thanks man. I still get surprised whenever I see my work up there, especially knowing how some anons here feel about motion tweening. I know I shouldn't really care, but I won't lie at times that the sentiment makes me feel like a lesser animator here at times.

Either way I don't think I expressed my thanks towards you as well, for doing a great job keeping these threads alive (especially considering I'm definitely a newcomer compared to the entire thread's history).

>>7620552
>feel like a lesser animator here at times
don't think that fren
tweening is very easy to screw up
hence why animators like you are all the more special
you're very good at what you do stand proud
b'side not like you've hit the skill ceiling yet
you'll only get better with time
keep on keeping on buddy

>for doing a great job keeping these threads alive
its honest work : DDD
brings me great joy

>>7620552
I often feel like a drooling hick for just drawing each frame... like, I should learn to work smarter like u, but I just don't. Ur cool anon <3

>>7620631
kottoanon!..<3
U probs don't remember me... I used to hang out here a bunch... I think it might be years that I've been gone. U were great back then, but you've improved so much! Ur def gonna be a legend some day. (Maybe u already are <3)

Maybe I'll start lurking here again. That would be fun. My life might be entering a bit of a chill spot... but we'll see.

>>7620494
I'm working on them. But at the same time, I realize how pointless it is to share un finished stuff.


Why do we share unfinished work? What are you looking for from others? Why do you need a pat on the ego?

Imagine, completely finishing a project with out any direction from anyone else.


What then? Id rather be helping someone finish their dream project


I I could encourage others I would, but for what reason.

Why was I encouraged to animate, when all it seems to do is dig at my soul.

>>7620768
Why do u think it's pointless to share unfinished work? You can riff off people to help stay motivated and also other people might notice and help correct issues in your process.

I think more ppl should be posting unfinished work. Plus it's super satisfying seeing the progress get made. It's better than just seeing a finished animation posted here.
>>7620772
For the lulz

>>7620494
>GUYYYyYYS come on why is nobody posting their animations :c
Here you go anon.

>>7620496
i was told that the blink should be only one frame, but when put into practice i did not like how that looked
so yes i have played with the timing of my frames
>>7620526
>hold the blink frame for a bit longer
is a single frame longer good?
>>7620768
i mean, i guess..? but maybe at least share when u finish a stage? it would suck to have something pointed out to you when u think you r finished yeah?
>>7620844
GO BACK TO TWERK!

>>7619408 (OP)
stop putting porn in the op. thread hidden.

>>7619454
yeah but he doesn't need to shitflood the thread

>>7620942
You raise a good point, especially with animation. I'll share it later, it has people getting nommed by wolves in the bg.

any tablet recommendations for animation?

>>7620494
okay here
>>7620650
how have zoomers STILL not figured out torrenting?
>>7621153
That is a borderline nonsensical question

first attempt at animating something after all my resource gathering and education, I have a lot of newfound respect for the people who do this frequently.

>7614264
i kept my word : DDD
was awake too late so didnt bother fixing the skirt flow loop

>>7620650
how could i forget
i remember opening a catbox link (iirc) you posted and being blasted with loud moaning audio
got wierd look from my mum lmao
nice to see you lurking buddy

>>7620844
sublime

>>7620942
>is a single frame longer good?
depends on the acti g
if its an idling animation for a bg char its fine
but if its a long acted out emotive shot holding it for 3 frames at12 fps should add more umph to it
better yet add a second drawn frame of the squashed closed eyelids lines

>>7620986
cmon ease up chud bud

>>7621001
i'll do it again next thread
and you cant stop me : DDD

>>7621153
if its function and wider than an a4 size sheet of paper it should work just fine
just get something cheap if you're unsure n work from there
i've seen artists accomplish grat work with the wierdest equipment so it's really a personalized decision
trial n error it till it works out buddy

>>7621637
i meant to quote this anon: >>7614264

>>7621199
flaccid indeed
very wobbly face : D

>>7621490
>I have a lot of newfound respect for the people who do this frequently
welcome to the club friend
glad you found the links useful : DDD

>>7621199
How do you do torrenting? I got stuff to share.

>>7621490
thats not hoe vags work

>>7621637
hnngh not the requester, but those wings
i’m trying to figure out lengthy fabric and wings in motion atm, so every time you post a cool anim with these i’m really happy
>/lurk

>>7621757
She's made of honey, suspend your disbelief.

>>7621637
Lol, sorry, that moaning must have been from when I wanted to do an animation for the "I wanna put you in my mouth" song. But I did the thing where I made plans that are too much work and I realize I don't want to spend the time that would be required. Gotta get better at simplifying projects.

Getting back into animation after a year and some change.

Did dis a while ago

Is there an animation curriculum similar to Radiorunner's curriculum for the solo artist? (Or at least a curriculum for more advanced animators) It seems like most courses/books will teach you the basic exercises but then you're on your own to figure out new assignments.

>>7619408 (OP)
I love this kind of design for characters. Any decent name for it besides "old disney style" or similar?
Also want to take her to bed and [spoiler]sleep off that hangover.[/spoiler]

Oh wait a minute, I forgot that I was going to post an animation I did a while ago here, since I didn't want to post it last thread as it was dying! Doi, can't believe I forgot about that...

>>7624139
Old Disney style? I'm flattered, but I don't really see the resemblance, unless you're talking about a somewhat toonier style?

>>7624159
>unless you're talking about a somewhat toonier style?
Yeah I guess that's what I actually meant. I just see that nose/snout look and immediately think of older disney works.
Do you have any blogs with your works?

Also heck, why not put the meme edit here as well lol

>>7624171
thehenwithatie is me, just a Twitter guy really in terms of a main social, with other alternate accounts for other subjects. Appreciate the interest my dude :]

>>7624093
this is genuinely funny as fuck, draw more

Forgot Blender has grease pencil and playing around with that

I'm going through the animator's survival kit and doing the walk cycle with the bean body. How am I supposed to keep shapes and sizes consistent? I can visually see when I make the legs too long or body too thick, but it's hard to fix. Is it just a matter of mileage?

>>7624625
>Is it just a matter of mileage?
pretty much. luckily you live in the age of computers so if youre working digitally you could always make a template of the body on a seperate layer and use that as a reference, even move it around relative to the frame so your sizes are guaranteed to stay consistent

>>7624625
it'll come with time fren
keep onion-skin on and get used to using the select n transform tools to crudely morph the original drawing to get the rough proportions right
then just draw over that
but its definitely a matter of mileage it'll fix itself in due time
draw! draw! draw!

>>7624625
>>7624649
I'll offer an alternative view as well: for consistency's sake, onion skin is an insanely good thing for keeping things consistent, and using transform tools to translate spots you don't need to redraw will save you time and sanity.

However, I will at least recommend you don't fall into the trap of relying on onion skin too much: what you gain in consistency can end up limiting you with trying to stick too close to those previous frame lines, and your motions will suffer. I know you mentioned mostly about keeping sizes consistent, but if you encounter issues regarding your motions, try turning off onion skin and flip through your frames to ensure the motion is good.

>>7624649
>>7624657
>>7624740
Thanks for the help! Will keep everything in mind.
The back leg extending out looks weird to me, but I don't know how to fix it.

>>7625296
I think normally for a walk like this the force propelling u off of one foot and onto the other is from your calf extending your toe... so once the toe "kicks" the foot should leave the ground... kinda like u are jumping with that foot (even tho ur other foot is already on the ground). In ur walk the heel is fully off the ground as soon as it comes past center and then glides on the ground for a while giving a moon walk appearance.

>>7622855
That doesn’t make sense. I was talking about creating a new torrent.

Animate my rabbit (the one from the OP) please (this is a joke please don't murder me); in all seriousness, maybe try doing something with Kotto trying to come off seductive but it being goofy instead? Not sure what motion to suggest though...

>>7625619
Ugh, I feel this half the time when it comes to animating, especially when the self doubt creeps in.

>>7625296
As >>7625466 mentioned about the foot, I also feel the leg, when moving backwards, should not bend until it starts to pull forward again. For me it looks a bit awkward that the leg straightens out then bends prematurely before swinging forward.

im never adding shadows to an animation ever again

>>7626421
>Animate my rabbit (the one from the OP)
aight i'll draw the silly rabbit girl tomorrow

>try doing something with Kotto trying to come off seductive but it being goofy instead?
i can't every time i draw kotto even slightly sexy i get struck with uncontrollable lust
and need to take a walk to calm my erection
good idea tho it fits her character i'll add it to the list

>>7626864
how did it work out fren
you can't just vent about something n not ost the results

Make the stuff you want to make, even if it's silly, weird, or people plain don't like it.

I'm proud as hell, I'm a giggly mess because I had too much fun laughing while making it, and cursed art is always good to me.

(picrel since the animation wouldn't make sense without sound, so listen here, sound warning obviously): https://files.catbox.moe/q2p6hi.mp4

I appreciate that bunch heh, no pressure at all though since I know you do a lot of good work with your own OC(s).

What program did you use to animate this?

I feel like I get asked this every other thread but: ToonSquid, on the iPad. It feels like the spiritual successor of Flash/Animate. I do use Procreate for my drawings and sketchwork prior to making and rigging assets in TS, but yeah, that is what I use.

Saw the torrent discussion up thread, is someone going to do it? I have some animation video courses to share and I can give out TV paint (I will give these out regardless if someone makes a torrent, I just need some time to sort and find files)

Some walks for a thing I'm doing, they don't all loop perfectly in this one but I have them all as separately timed loops. Just wanted a visual of them all together

Hey friend, no idea as I don't personally use CSP. As far as I know, there's no keyframing with effects in CSP, and a cursory search got me this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClipStudio/comments/1eugtph/in_animation_a_way_to_gradually_change_color_over/

You could try tweening a gradient of the two colors and sliding it over, using a clipping mask to stay within the circle, but honestly it seems like there's no direct method to achieve what you want.

>>7630252
cont.

>>7630253
cont...again!

Is it a good idea to start learning to animate in CSP since I already draw with it?

All these folders, columns, timings, and grids are making my head spin just to start out. I made a drawing with the moving parts separated by layers and just want to be able to make a short loop.

>>7630252

might be a bit out of date but should work

something feels odd about this walk cycle
can you you guys tell me where i messed up?

>>7630688
There's no soul in it. No personality. The weight of the steps doesnt flow through the body. Nothing is interacting or reacting. It's just stiff.

You ever read through animators survival kit? Theres a bit about personality in walk cycles you might want to look through and see if it gives you some ideas.

>>7630698
i got too caught up in keeping the anatomy accurate
i've done the survival kit walks but still don't understand
where the off foot should be in the "up" frame
end up with that wierd jiggle after contact
got any specific suggestion on what i need to fix things cuz at this point im lost man

First animation
A little too ambitious I think now, very choppy but I didn't even know about the "onion skin" feature until I was almost done.
Couldn't get the loop to work right, the output always seems to be different from what CSP shows me in the editor.

Had no idea how much work a single second of animation could be

I know I'm likely throwing a shot in the dark, but anyone out there got some motion tweening guides? I think for the most part I have mastered secondary motion/overlapping motion when it comes to loops, but I'm struggling in nailing the motion when it comes to non looping animation work. Makes me wish ToonSquid had a graph editor for more complex motions...

>>7634195
You say that yet it got in the OP.

Real talk though, I do wish there were more animation resources on actual proper layered tweening, since everything is skewed towards frame by frame animation when it comes to such resources. Oh well, I'll just have to figure it out on my own then.

https://www.humblebundle.com/software/pro-animation-bundle-software

Moho on sale. Never tried either this or toonboom but I might cop to try out tweened animation. I think there was one anon who has tried it out already.

>>7634621
I notice a lot of other software tends to use bones which isn't something I like doing since I do more rigged cutout style animation: does Moho do this well or nah? I come from the Flash/Animate background of nested symbols myself. Especially knowing that minus8 still animates with that method in mind, I know things I want to do can be done, but I still lack the knowledge on how to do certain things other than what I've been able to teach myself so far.

>>7633088
The shadows on her ass jump too much, probably would have been better with no shadows

I'd have given her tail all 8 frames to loop for an extra bit of swish :)

how realistic is it to create a 6 minute animation in 9 months?
I want to make a film for a festival in April and I'm starting as early as I can and I figured 6 minutes is a good maximum since I only have myself to work on it

>>7636772
many factors at play there
how much experience do you have?
how detailed are the visuals?
what framerate are you working with?
is it frame by frame? tweened?
judging by the vagueness of your question and the fact that youre even asking it im gonna wager a guess and say its unlikely unless youre taking massive visual shortcuts

>>7636815
i've been animating since 2023, I've made something 1 minute in length before and I've made longer storyboards, I wanna do traditional animation that I'll composite later and I'll probably do it in 24 fps, I haven't really decided on visuals fully yet but I put pic related together earlier for how I might want it to look

>>7636872
by traditional I mean frame by frame but I might take shortcuts like reusing stuff sometimes

>>7636872
doesnt sound realistic to me, also forgot to ask whether you have a full time job or if you can dedicate all your time to animation but either way i dont think its feasable
a 6 minute animation on 1s sounds like a monstrous pain in the ass, unless youve completed other projects of a similar length i foresee you getting massively burned out relatively quickly

>>7636882
I've always animated on 2s, and I don't have a job, I only go to college some days of the week. Basically, I have a lot of free time to work on this as long as the assignments don't get in the way

>>7636888
best advice i can give is to maybe put a solid month in of hardcore work into it, see how much progress you make in that time frame and ask yourself whether you can get it done at the pace youre going in the remaining 8 months. best of luck to you whatever you decide to do

why is all animation software so fucking infuriating to work with

everytime I want to try animation I end up fiddling around with the fucking software for two hours trying to fix some incomprehensible, un-googleable problem and then I quit for six months

>>7636925
Sometimes it takes the right software. But then again, if you're really wanting to animate, you can't just wait for the "right one" to pop up.

I've said it before but I'll say it again: I was a really bad on/off animator before Procreate Dreams came out. It definitely is a scuffed program, but I will at least give it credit for getting me to actually *animate* since I wasn't worrying about my brushes, since I could just carry them over. It was a really good program in the sense of getting me to actually animate.

Once the cracks started to show and a lot of the tedious parts of the program were apparent, moving over to ToonSquid felt better, as I had the drive to want to animate even if I couldn't recreate my brushes as well in there. I feel if I jumped in with TS first I may have just started stressing again about the brush engine not being as robust, and maybe I would have fallen into the on/off rabbit hole again.

>>7636307
well fuck you too retard
you made the same front leg jitter moron
how much exactly is someone supposed to bend the leading leg's thigh on the "Down" frame?
does it look jittery cuz it's a static cycle instead of moving forwards?
it looks to me like her knee join't are snapping and dislocating in ever squash frame
like even picrel for the survival kit pdf depicts the squash frame leading knee bent much further than the contact pose
i'm not the only one who see that right?
is this one of those things that only bother you if you are looking for it specifically?
or is it cuz these keys are for tooney characters and don't apply to a realistic human figure?


>>7636891
do a 1 week trial of storyboarding, animating and coloring/compositing a 10 sec sequence (preferably middle to high complexity)
see how long it takes to get it done
then use that as a measuring stick for how realistic your schedule is
simple as

in my experience (if working on it full time 8 hours a day) it takes about a month to do 1 minutes worth of key frames
and about 3 weeks to get in-betweens done right over those key frames assuming your ladders are on point from the get go
and ofc 1 week to color it all via bucket tool assuming its a flat color/you've drawn the shadow outlines
this is a for a rather simplified character design with static pre-drawn bgs

>>7636925
go back to plebbit you crybaby faggot

Wanted to see if I could shit out a walk cycle in 20 minutes and I think the answer to that is no

>>7636307
here's the revision you slack-jawed faggot no thank to your snide quips btw
turns out the up and down frames only feel right on toons
more realistic figures are better off with "contact" being the lowest and "pass" being the tallest pose
with the breakdown poses being eased in and out accordingly
jitter minimized and anatomy preserved

What's the difference?

Quick question, which program lets you make something more than a few seconds long in the free version?

>>7637718
krita
blender
uhhhh thats all i got

>>7637182
yknow what you're right i conceed
the up n down on the breakdown frames suits toons more than it does anime-esque characters

>>7638119
much much better if not still bouncier than i expect a brick to be, but nice work

>>7638099
>>7638119
Honestly if you just took the first gif and added more camera shake to that impact, it would definitely communicate it better. IRL of course we have sound that tells us of the impact of the brick, and even if there is a better way to show the impact of the brick (such as it breaking into pieces), animation is all about visual storytelling. It's honestly awesome what we can do with so little and how these little adjustments can make a huge difference in making the viewer feel/connect with what is happening on screen.

I'm planning on doing a game jam in a couple weeks. I'm trying to improve my /beg/ level drawing and animations skills a bit before then.

>>7638645
nice
what software did you use?

Do you guys ever get the wind knocked out of you when you feel pretty good about your current skill level, try something different, and absolutely fail at it? Not that I won't stop trying, but man, feels like my animation train has derailed for a bit and I gotta make some repairs.

>>7638993
Aseprite

Aseprite works well for pixel art animation, but if I wanted to do high res graphics for a game, what software do you think I should use?

>>7638099
>>7638119
Brick land perfectly on edge so it only rotates on one axis? Like 1 in 100 chance or less. Find something box shaped (ideally an actual brick) and drop it 100 times and study how it moves.

It's fine to only rotate on one axis because your box rotating skill isn't good enuf, and it's fine for exaggerated cartoon dynamics, but for realism, it's not right.

i know it might sound unintuitive but make the head bob down on the pass pose
since his neck is drooping outwards from the torso the delayed action will suit the character better
also be suyre to straighten the grounded foot during the pass pose
the knee joint looks too stiff since it doesn't really straighten out properly

>>7639809
the ball shoots forwards first and then his foot follows
don't hold that kick pose so long while the ball flies off so quickly
either hold the ball for that pose too for a slowmo shot or make the character snap along with the ball

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SERVER?????

>>7625466
Not necessarily true. There are a lot of subtleties to how you walk based on how your posture is. If your body is mostly in line vertically, you'd push more with your calf yeah. But if you lean forward, your body naturally wants to keep catching itself with your feet as not to fall, so you're mostly using your quads to lift your trailing leg forward than you are trying to propel yourself. Like, when you read thus try it. Walk totally upright and then walk hunched while looking at your phone. If you're leaning backwards (ie carrying something heavy) you'll walk even differently, but that's more obvious.

>>7639625
>>7639638
Thanks for the advice. For some reason I never thought of using an actual box-shaped object as reference. I'm not really going for realism, but cartoon physics are derived from real-life physics so I should study them more closely anyways

>>7638645
Try adding a pause when the auto paddlers cocks all the back to add a bit of tension and to better fit the ‘12 rules of animation’ that one important guy wrote. Maybe make the board tremor a bit as well.

try doing a looping cycle without the arms
idk if its meant to be a double bounce walk or if the camera is shaky
but the arms are def a bit wierd
more drawings aren't necessarily better yknow anon san

A very ruth arm trow animation study, i will update later with in-betweens and actually completing it, but that's how it's going so far.

I'm semi new in animation btw.

>>7635596
>>7636307
Of course it's the CSP. We all know that only Real Men™ with calloused hands and giant balls use CSP for animation after a long day of milling lumber, leave dem animation programms to the liberal limp wristed sissies from New York and B*rlin
>>7644989
Nice work, kid *slaps your ass* Don't forget us when you make it to the big leagues

>>7644989
align the wrist to a smooth arc
it wobbles up and down ruining the smooth arc of motion
same with the elbow

going through Bitey's fx course
good stuff overall
ya guys got any other elemental effects resource?

>>7645615
try elemental magic vol 1 and 2

>>7645615
A bunch of effects books here. With gif/video. Some on their websites.

i love you too fren : DDD

>>7646514
Hi bug anon, I cant exactly download everything you posted right now, but what would you recommend as THE most essential downloads from your posts? I've got a pretty solid foundation when it comes to drawing and I just bought toonboom, so I wont need any of the beginning drawing fluff. I plan to go through the animators survival kit video course and book, but thats all Ive got planned.

good assignments overall they use rhese to onboard n train newbie inbetweeners at some anime studio

>>7619408 (OP)
>https://bitey.com/pages/fx <---- [2D effects animation course]
also a solid resource for elements/effects but it's around 2.5 gbs do hold it off for after you the rest done

>https://www.animatorisland.com/51-great-animation-exercises-to-master/
not so much resource but its a good list of assignment to have in your portfolio

these and Survival Kit will train you well
Also read the pdf before you watch the lecture video course
the pdf has all the knowledge condensed into it the video lectures are add-ons for if you have doubt *not* the primary source
read the pdf n see the corresponding example files first and then watch the lectures

If you're aiming for anime production i'd reccomend Dong Chang channel on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@DongChang
And also start dumping some skill points in compositing softwares like Opentoonz/AfterEffects/Nodes in ToonBoom
it'll pay off in the long term

>>7647545
Not him but thanks Kottoanon, breaking the stuff down makes it less daunting to look through. Still, wish there were more tweening resources out there hahah, but hey, we take what we can get.

>>7642254
>i love how her hair sorta explodes into a star shape
It's funny, because it used to not do that--her design has very much changed over the years to give her a more distinguishable silhouette. Also after finally watching Panty and Stocking recently, man, it makes me want to animate more, especially because that show exemplifies everything I want to do with lewd animation: the weird, the sexy, and the absurd

I made this like a month or more ago. I was trying to figure out how to animate boobs with nothing but my pure knowledge of looking at them online

>>7645615
flash can be wrangled into gradients if you have the will
sucks how shit the vector software is
why do people even use this trash i wonder

>>7647600
>more tweening resources out there
i'll look into it
there have to be some resouurces out there
off the top of my head there's the youutuber kyubumlee
who does primarily rigged animations on toonboom
gimme time i'll dig into it

>>7647705
nice lmaoo

>>7647877
no fuckin way
how did you achieve the soft brush on the flame
vector don't work like that?

>>7647545
Oh shit, thanks a lot anon. I cant wait to get started. Also I meant to say I bought toonsquid on my ipad, not Toonboom, might have to get that one later. But right now, I have no idea which software is the standard/the best or where I can get it yet. Which one do you use?

A

gave up on that arm trowing thingie because it was to boring and i was putting too much detail to the point i lost the purpose of the study, so i'm making bouncy guys now

>>7619408 (OP)
>Kit *Video* course
I've been looking around. But none of the torrents are working. Pretty weird.
The one on IA, their torrent doesn't include the videos inexplicably.

>>7649185
Nice. Keep ur anatomy and rendering studies separate from ur motion studies. Putting them together when only one is good will drag the other down and probs isn't an effective way to study. Ur bouncy guy looks pretty good tho, maybe try some stickman / gesture of people doing stuff with their hands. Try a punch or someone picking something up.

anyone here have video class in how to animate in tvpaint 11? in special from a good animator? per example aaron blaise has a course with tvpaint and i wouldn like to download this one or similar.

>>7649423
and no its not a tutorial in how to use tvpaint 11. its mostly a video process of step by step of a animation made on tvpaint i would like to see.
Tanya Channel is really informative but its all in russian (no subtitles) so it only helps a little.

>>7622145
omigosh i didnt knew the person that made it was a /ic/ anon. really cool :v

Made this for fun

>>7649185
nicely done anon very cool

>>7649369

thanks for the tip i'll look into it

>>7649566
chiyo chan.......

>>7649767
i love your animations bug anon, thank you for never stopping!

>>7649767
i forgot to explain, the channel is mostly in russian so the username is not exactly Tanya. i will just Link it here for everybody to see!

youtube.com/@tanyabuka22

There is also Erica yt channel (the welcome to hell creator) and tamakuz also does most of her animation on tvpaint. both of these last persons have most of their process on pantreon so, if anyone has the ways to tip them (and share here maybe) it would be cool!

Holyshit

>>7650072
How do you get the background to scroll like that? Like do you animate on top of it or do you move it after? Also blog? this looks great

Any flipaclip enthusiasts?

>>7650080
yea that new elden ring has a hold on me. thank ya
>>7650083
>>7650283
thanks lads
>>7651950
i just drew a long bg img and made it scroll with keyframes in csp. i animated the two characters first with the camera movement in mind. im @linkoh9 on twitter and thanks

Grrr I want to animate a titty drop but I don't even know where to start

>>7652399
Try making squishy balls
Or bouncy ones

>>7652414
You mean like balls to simulate breasts or actual testicles as practice before tackling breasts?

>>7652399
Unironically have sex.

>>7652423
Yeah

>>7652169

my dad got me the dvd for this movie back in the day
it was one of my first 3d animated movie i think
good times : DDD

>>7652399
fill a big party balloon with water and play around with it for a while
trust me it intuitively helps get the knack for how boobs work
or grope ur gf's boobs if you aren't a stone cold chudcel like me

im trying to chalenge myself with this one, haven't finished it yet cause i'm trying to figure out how to make him shake in fear in a fun and believable way. But i'm bored now so i will play something.

Oh great Kottoanon, what do you animate on? 2s? 3s?

balls

>>7653425
really well made

this took 2 hours but hey it's a start
drawing on ones is a lot though jeez

Ngl, starting to feel a plateau with my tweening skills...thinking maybe to revisit frame by frame again.

>>7657652
Oof, ones dude? I won't flat out discourage you from it but the wobbly-ness is very apparent. Did you animate this straight ahead or pose to pose?

>>7657683
Tweening is for pussies anyways. Frame by frame is where real men are forged.

>>7657696
You're not going to convince me it is for pussies. It takes a lot of time and effort the more complex an action is. It definitely sucks when you can tell a person didn't take any time to really properly separate the components, then I would be inclined to agree about the "cheapness" of it.

Tweening's strength lies in the consistent way you can do loops. I have massive respect for minus8's longer form animations where there clearly is a lot of time spent in making it look not janky or making great and unjarring transitions (thinking of that sex game animation). That rope animation started lagging ToonSquid so badly because of all the nested symbols I kept cramming in there, hahah.

But ah, I'm wasting my breath. Some of you guys don't like it. That's fine. I like both. Both are good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Here, take an older frame by frame animation I did as well.

>>7657683
i tried the hybrid method laid out in the survival handbook. i drew the poses first and then a straight pass on the head on another layer and another for the body and legs.
And yeah i guess knowing how many drawings to use when is a skill in itself but i'll be fine mostly practicing on twos right?

>>7657734
based anon

>>7657734
Brother you're speaking to a fellow tweener. It's pussy shit in comparison. That's why i don't fuck with frame by frame. But it's more difficult and respectable

Nearing Bump limit
Vote for the next OP thumbnail

Man what am I doing? This is some silly shit pffft.

>>7657775
I would imagine twos would look better just for stability's sake. There's a reason most people don't do line boil on ones for the most part since it's so jittery (unless you do the Flash thing where you hit the smoothen button on the vector art, then it tends to be subtle enough). Ironically that's why tweening is better at higher frame rates because there won't be that wobble, and it's why I prefer adding line boil at lower framerates.

>>7658547
Fair enough. I've had a fair share of people who keep ragging on me for delving into tweening. I still respectfully disagree though--there's definitely areas where doing something frame by frame would be quicker, easier, and faster, especially with really short loops. Again, just a matter of taste. I think what I'm trying to say is that if you want to achieve a similar level of quality of god-tier frame by frame quality as a tweener, then you're going to be spending a shit load of time figuring workarounds and getting down and dirty in those motion graphs.

>>7658609
Uhhhhh...avoiding voting for myself, I'll go with >>7651976 >>7650072 and >>7647705. Oh, and considering you contribute so damn much I gotta throw a vote for you too, and this one puts a dumb grin on my face seeing it >>7653011

looks great anon
good character acting
very nice

>>7653344
The blue hind leg should reach past the brown one on contact
its angled in such a way that the blue hind leg's contact merges into the blue fornt leg's left

>>7653425
>https://litter.catbox.moe/np7r97tgy93hh4s4.mp4
link died i missed this : (

>>7657652
let me share a secret with you
the pass pose is actually the true highest pose and the contact is the true lowest frme
RIchard William's keys are for characters that are carrying significant weight
hence it feels off when applied to armless figures

>>7657683
>>7657734
well done anon
at this point why aren't you investing into a PC already?
i think the tablet's gonna bottleneck you from getting too crazy with tweening

>>7657775
the secret with deciding the number of drawings is understanding what speed your character is moving at
slow is expensive and fast is cheap
the brain can fill in the gaps from one drastic pose to another as incredibly fast motion
but the anticipation/follow through/secondary action that eats up the frame count budget
watch FLCL if you wanna see the masters at work at a super tight frame budget it's glorious

>>7658547
hey hey now you don't need to put down one thing to elevate another that's a flawed thought process
2-d animation being a feat of expertise is true statement completely independant of whether tweening is easy or not (it ain't you're not giving it enough credit)
the peak of tweening i'd put would be minus8 and i cannot for the life of me imagine anyone achieving that output and art style 2d traditional animation

we'll try that next thread

>>7660135
neat
nice to see you still around

>>7660417
>>7660552
nice balls bro
no homo

>>7660814
You reminded me I had the gayest dream last night. It must have been the balls.

>>7660812
walks are pretty complex and nuanced, huh?
i tried to do a simpler motion but it's pretty much guesswork. need to keep an eye out for video reference

spent a ton of time playing with the timing too, started with twos, then threes, but i think it looks best like this on fours? but now it needs more drawings >.>

>>7661385
You can also get up and act things out you know? It feels awkward but pro animators def do it.

>>7661096
Reposting an old animation of mine because lol

>>7660814
>hey we oughtta do a collaberative animation thing at like 8 fps with everyone doing one frame
>we'll try that next thread
I like how that sounds, I'm not very active posting my stuff here (I have before) but I do check on the resources and the animations here a lot.
Hope it isn't a problem.

can one of you homies with the kanada yoshinori documentary please seed it?
I've been stuck at 86% for the past week please for the love of anime someone seed it

>>7663911
thank you 4chads
you guys never fail me
i got it
