How is Sheridan for Animation? Anyone have any experiences?

>>5012462
complete beg here, what should i do

Post lewd animation references

>>5012510
draw

Gonna be a lot of work fixing all these damn volumes

https://animationpaper.com/

Try this out. It's still in alpha and you can't export video yet but it looks promising.

I have legitimately bitten of way more than I can chew with what started as a simple first animation project

I'm gonna finish it so I can learn what the process feels like until the end, but even then I probably wont really "like" the final result, which sucks lol

I just got offered my first internship. Scared af.

you know how there are lots of speedpaints and drawing timelaspes that show the artists workflow. is there any good full footage of animation making

https://files.catbox.moe/gc5lxo.mp4
Trying to warm back up to animating so I figured I'd redo one of the first things I animated

>>5015190
https://files.catbox.moe/2j3im3.mp4
Added lip sync

>>5014723
That level of impact needs a thicker cock
Trust me im an expert
If you feel this way about it you may be better off leaving it for now, working on something else, and coming back
But great work so far anon

Way sloppier than I want but at least it's done

>>5012462
This is my first time in the /ic/ Animation General. Do people here mostly focus on frame-by-frame, or are there any After Effects mograph people that post here?

>>5017617
Mostly frame by frame, I've seen some 3D animators, but most people around here tend to use thinks like Krita, AdobeAnimate, Toonboom, CSP, and Pencil2d. Programs with either layers the export to frames or programs with onion skins to allow for flip book like maneuverability.

I want to sakuga.

>>5017364
Quite good, can't wait for the colored version.

What's a good software for animating jpgs at 24 fps?

>>5012843
Nice, blog?

I'm trying to create 2d mesh deformation animation in a game engine. Basically cut-out animation with deformation. Is there an art program or a workflow that would make it particularly easy to create the "cut-out" pieces? Currently I'm looking into drawing each segment of my character onto it's own layer in krita, and exporting each layer as a separate file. I'd be happy to see any resources/ pointers you might have as to how to go about doing this.

>>5012499
this guy went to the illustration course and wrote a journal, might help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24NM8AkLuF8

So are you the creator of the pepe Booba gif?

>>5021439
yes

>>5021449

>>5021449
nice lol

My animation has:
>Music
2 songs made by my friend.
>SFX
Downloaded from various freesound profiles, some packs from blogs, overall very varied sources.
>Voice-acting
Recorded with a Snowball.
There is no real speech, only things like "ohh" and "aah" and sighs, grumbling, etc.

I have NO FUCKING IDEA what (or even IF) I'm supposed to do with the audio. I have looked into some very basic mastering/mixing videos, but still trying to understand.

Any general advice that isn't "ask someone else to do it"? How necessary it is to do this?

>>5018975
m-maybe someday
>>5019897
https://twitter.com/giascle
Just starting to upload stuff though.

>>5021818
What don't you understand?

>>5021818
I don't know what software you're using, but you put each type of audio on it's own channel/track, so you can adjust its level relative to the other tracks. Then you adjust said levels until it sounds good to you.

>>5014766
how do u get internships anon :( grats but im honestly jelly cus i really want something to work on.

>>5021449
Oh hell yeah you did what I was gonna do after I was done with my current stuff lol

Looking for head references in multiple angles basically head reference packs

>>5022289
i'm glad I saved you some work

>>5022608
It was only a matter of time desu
The only other animated version I saw was just a shitty morph

is there any good documentaries or youtube videos about ghibli or ghibli like animators talking about their process???

I love their naturalistic animation style. all I find on youtube are videos about anime fight scenes or how much japanese animators work. what I'm really looking forward is to understand how their process differs from traditional animators from the west, mainly in acting scenes.

>>5021943
>What don't you understand?
Am I supposed to treat the audio with things like Equalization, reverb, remove this, remove that? Somehow make them "uniform" to avoid it sounding weird?

>>5022039
So, just volume?

>>5022715
>So, just volume?
Yeah, everything else is extra. Relative volumes being out of whack is the thing that people might actually notice. Things like eq or subtle reverb on the master bus will indeed tie things together and make for a more uniform sound, but it really isn't necessary.

What might be a good idea though, would be to download and learn a bit of Audacity. It will let you cut up and layer sounds, and apply things like fades and pitch shifting. This kind of editing (sound design) will let you make things sound the way you want instead of just using sounds you download as they are. It will be a much more powerful tool for better sound effects than just applying effects or mastering. If nothing else, you can use the "normalize" effect to bring the sounds you've downloaded all to a similar volume level, if some are much more quiet than others.

I'm /beg/ so I should be practicing fundies, but I wanted to mess around with animation.
I can't imagine how people make animation. Seems like a lot of shit to draw

>>5017192
Got guests over tomorrow for Thanksgiving so started an audio-free animation I can attempt to peck away at while they're busy talking

>>5022645
Yasuo Otsuka's Joy of Motion.

>>5024098
where can I find this?

>>5021449
Extremely based.

>>5024057
Couldn't wait to keep working on it so I got it ready for clean up

>>5012462
Test ferret. Done in krita.

im newish to animation i thought this would be a good place to post something?
if you enjoy Oney Plays Animated, I tried my hand at doing one.
https://youtu.be/H_9WiIReU3o

>>5025537
Thats pretty cool! What software did you use?

Here's another Flash animation I made.

It's pretty rough in some areas.

Albeit I'm somewhat new to Flash. Anyways what do you guys think about it?

This took way longer than it should have to make, probably because I haven't legit animated in quite a while

>>5026858
Do you have any advice you'd give to somebody who wants to make porn animations?

>>5028311
Not him but master secondary animation/ motion.
That's good in general for animation but in porn especially with the abundance of dangly and jiggly bits

>>5025503
Really needs more in-between frames. This isn't enough.

>>5026460
You could make a much better animation in After Effects.

>>5012499
I went to Sheridan, it was a very rewarding experience. Learned a lot, met a lot of cool people, got an industry job right after graduating, etc. One of the best things is that they have free three hour figure drawing sessions every day with a live model. They've changed the curriculum a lot since I graduated, but most the professors and courses were top notch and I assume the changes were for the better

How do you guys go about clean up? It's one of my worst areas but it might just be my adhd

>>5029009
>free three hour figure drawing sessions every day with a live model
fuck that's more than most anons on /ic/ have drawn in their entire life

>>5029024
It was pretty cool, the sessions were always packed so you had to get there early to get a good spot (or get there really late and grab a spot from someone who left halfway through). The daily sessions are usually at the end of the day, from 6PM-9PM, so the people going were super dedicated. It's awesome to be surrounded by so many people trying so hard to improve, very motivating.

>>5012462
best course to learn 2d animation?
I can animate in 3d already

>>5029064
Is that school expensive?

>>5029950
I think it's pretty expensive for international students, but as a Canadian it was only $10k/yr in CAD. Not as pricey as American schools, but more expensive than some other local colleges (Seneca and Humber)

>>5012462
I found a tutorial on how to animate anime-style on CSP's page:
>https://tips.clip-studio.com/en-us/articles/954
Apparently, anime uses 3 animation principles: Follow-Through, Anticipation and Slow-In/Slow-Out.
Does anybody know if there's more tutorials?

>>5030026
On youtube 'Striving for animation' and 'doki doki drawing' for anime specific techniques and pipline.
Also look up the 12 principles of animation, pretty fundamental for everything.

If I were doing a hand-drawn animation, what type of material would I draw each frame on and what would I use to capture each frame as a movie?

What's the best animation software for Linux?

>>5030666

>>5030026
>Apparently, anime uses 3 animation principles: Follow-Through, Anticipation and Slow-In/Slow-Out.
all 12 principles of animation are still used in japanese animation

>>5026858
That looks amazing
Blog?

>>5030064
>>5030886
>all 12 principles of animation are still used in japanese animation
Pretty much, but most japanese TV commercial animation tends to limit itself to 3 or 4 animation principles, as some of them don't mesh well with the limited 8fps framerate.

>>5030989
>>5030026
you are so stupid

>>5030992
lol

Here's my shot for the Mike and Melissa Reanimated collab

>>5030992
Not even western shows use all 12 principles.

>>5030682
no seriously

>>5030666
toon boom

Took the leap to make animations because I didn't think I was good enough at drawing to give it a go for the longest of time. Had a blast, I think I really enjoy animating.
>>5017364
This is really, really nice. I like it a lot. Can I ask you to share your CSP/work file of it? I want to study it thoroughly. I would appreciate it very much.

>>5031462
Oh goodness, what an honor. Yeah sure, though this one I made a new animation folder for every minor change so there's like 20; I usually don't do nearly that many passes.

https://litter.catbox.moe/56250k.clip

Also your construction looks a lot better than mine so you should be really good in no time.

Where do I find a reliable csp ex crack for the mac

>>5031489
If you're so poor why the fuck did you buy an apple product you fucking dumb consoomer

can someone make the discord less faggotty by making Jay post less

>>5031645
I had him blocked lol. He's a massive faggatron.

>>5031630
It was a gift :(

>>5031489
Dualboot Windows because macs almost never get cracks. Crackers obviously have to own a mac in order to make a mac crack and most don't.

I'm on an s6 lite is there a decent app for hand drawn animation you can recommend?

>>5031489
I would go the "buy PRO on discount, then eventually get EX on discount + using the discount for having PRO already"
But I don't think It's really worth it for animation alone.
They should loosen the restrictions on PRO for animation a bit desu.

>>5012462
Been using Clip Art Studio Debut to get a hold of it and I've liked it a lot so far, so i was planning to buy the Pro version during this Black Friday sale. But I'm looking into animation, and the EX version that supports animation is 4 times the price. Would you guys say CSP is worth paying extra for the animation element? Or should i just get the pro version and into other software for animating?

>>5033502
I use CSP for the majority of my clean-up work and it gets the job done. Definitely the cheapest option if you want to do animation but I can't speak for it compared to industry options like TV Paint or TB Harmony

>>5033502
Try out Krita first. It's free and might even be better than CSP for animation.

>>5030666
opentoonz i guess

>>5032591
I'm sorry.

>>5026858
10/10

>>5033607
Does Krita have audio and camera control?

>>5031462
bueno my duderino, this file will prove to be useful for my learning.
Also, trying out FX and I realize now that there's so much less resource on the practical aspect of animation than there is on illustration. Feels like I have to get cuts from anime and analyze it myself.

>>5034079
sakugabooru is your friend

This music video was animated entirely on iPad Pro by a 20 years old guy who just started drawing 4 years ago.
https://youtu.be/ugpywe34_30

>>5032699
you got CSP subscription free for 6 months if you download from galaxy store. I also have the same device and it's by far the best drawing app.

>>5034079
>>5034303
Yeah there are WAY better animators to learn from than me, I just figured it might be helpful to see my workflow in CSP specifically. If you see something that has really impressive animation, download it and go through it frame by frame.

>>5034329
>only 20 yo
>started 4 years ago
fuck offfffffffffffffffff. seriously what are they doing to get this good. whats their typical day learning look like?

>>5034346
Your typical Japanese highschooler's routine
https://twitter.com/1234hahi/status/1011204384456232960

>>5034329
Well didn't expect to see that here. Just watched that like an hour ago. Zutomayo is the shit.

>>5034504
Some day people will listen when they're told to stop obsessing over minutiae and just draw more.

>>5034337
I highly recommend watching this person's workflow.

CSP EX + RETAS + After Effects + Blender/Maya

https://youtube.com/user/blacksocieties1

>>5034568
*+photoshop

>>5034504
Based and just draw pilled.

>>5034329
Gonna sound ultra crab but there's barely any actual animation in this. It's like if you made a demo reel with all the shortcuts that limited animation uses to pad out low budget productions. Not something you really want to be using to show off your skills.

>>5034744
ig that just shows that planning/editing is more important, it definitely looked like it saved a lot of time

>>5034744
The animation that is there is really good but you're right in that a lot of the appeal comes from very strong layout/storyboarding/composition.
I really want to get better at those but idk how to study it

>>5034568
Is it even possible to get a copy of RETAS in the west?
Every open tracker returns nothing. And I see no way to buy in english even.

https://youtu.be/ZaPFcLr2mJI

>>5035280
I usually seed until I'm bored which is usually only 3 days
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:7EDZUVTTKTYMSUQLUGTX4HCJW5NUHTAJ&dn=Retas%20Studio%20660&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80%2Fannounce

>>5034744
Agreed but I think that's really the only feasible way you can animate something alone. If you don't cut every corner and use every shortcut you'll end up spending years on a single clip.

>>5035762
thank you

>>5035856

>>5034329
Gonna agree with the other crab guy. It seems like komugiko was rushed to make this music video. It's very evident at the last parts of the vid. His/her(?) previous work https://youtu.be/Dm2O_W6Rrss has so much more effort put in and it's p great too
Also, was komugiko not credited in the video??

>>5035995
Well I kinda agree that some part was rough, but it had to be done because he is working alone. Also he was apologizing so many times for being slow and kept delaying the MV, but to think this guy who just started animating not long time ago, and he only used iPad Pro, he really did a good job. From what I remember in Yasuo Muroi's interview/discussion with Komugiko, he started interested in animation after watching Kimi no na wa, he made it big with his own distinctive style which is incredible though.
https://youtu.be/nocsCPD5gRM

>Also, was komugiko not credited in the video??
He was credited in end roll credit.

>>5034329
It sure is good but like 90% of human movement and closeups are traced from real life of him recording himself

>>5036354
How do you know it’s traced?

>>5036364
From experience. It's noticeable as fuck when you draw and animate for years

>>5034329
>entirely on iPad Pro
Should i just bite the bullet and get one of these? I've got money saved and have been wanting to build a new computer for animation but i have no idea how to build one and covid has made looking for help pretty hard. Watching all these kids just crank stuff out on these machines makes me think they must be alright.

>>5036373
ipad pro if you absolutely don't want to draw at your desktop, otherwise a good screen with 10 bit color, high enough resolution and pen tablet is fine pretty much from beginner to professional
So much more flexibility with desktop programs and workflow

>>5036373
He made those on csp installed in ipad. Just get a csp ex and play around the animation features

>>5034329
>The uploader has not made this video available in your country.
>I'm in America
where the fuck are all of you

>>5036373
also there's really no need for a drawing tablet with screen unless you absolutely insist because of preference

>>5036394

Help, any key animation collection book/gengashuu that worth to study? I've been thinking to buy one, preferably that has lot of character acting. So far I've found:
- Dennou Coil
- Mitsuo Iso
- Yutaka Nakamura (action)
- Kaijuu no Kodomo (cheapest one)
- Wakaokami wa shougakusei

>>5035762
Honestly I'm not sure I see the point of using this if you're already used to whatever program/hardware you're using (that supports animation).
For example I'm on iPad and I can already do animation fine there. I don't see why I'd go through the hassle of learning another desktop program to potentially make an anime in the future.

I'm willing to bet anyone who downloaded this will never use it.

>>5037820
I don't think so

>>5040492
Because you can just click and fill on predefined levels automatically and also consume the lines as opposed to having to colour absolutely everything yourself

>>5039918
How long did this take you?

>>5040514
Many hours, maybe 20 over the week

Just starting out with fullbody animation, any feedback is greatly appreciated

how the hell do people like diives make their loops so smooth lol

>>5040915
If you want the loop to be smoother as-is, you just need 1-2 more frames between your first and last frame
I may be wrong but I don't think he animates on 1s at all so a 12 fps loop is totally doable

client bailed

>>5041001
CONGRATULATIONS ANON

Does anyone know where you can download the Animator Survival Kit DVDs that's not CG?

>>5026460
None of these movements are related or effect each other. You need to know EXACTLY...

What is happening?
>What event or action am I portraying?
>All of the acting forces from source to tertiary
>All of the interactions and dependencies of motion

Why is it happening?
>If animating a character, how does their intent, mood, and reactions influence the action?
>Are there special conditions such as odd angles or outside factors that change how this action normally occurs?
>Am I getting my physics the way I want them to be?

How is it happening?
>How do I make sure the above points are clearly readable in my drawing?

>>5040835
Im really impressed with the physics. Great work

Why do shot 1 and 4 look worse than shots 2 and 3?
They're all puppet animated, and the only thing I can garner from Parker is that it's because they had extra time to redo these shots.

>>5042741
For one, they were animated by different people. The artists who worked on the better shots are probably better animators than the artists who worked on the worse shots, or one of the animators was having a good/bad week when they worked on their shots. The third shot especially has a lot of redraw and the animator deforms the rig creatively to make it smoother.

>>5042741
total /beg/ here. What's so bad about shots 1 and 4?

>>5036373
Building a PC involve putting together less than ten pieces. If you can play with LEGO you can build a PC. You will get better performance per dollar and more options for software in addition to the ability to upgrade.

Someone should really re-encode the DVDs, the old .avi encodes are looking kinda rough. I have the untouched DVDs on a drive somewhere, but don't know anything about encoding.

How good at drawing do I need to be to start doing animation?

>>5043267
None if you're planning animating stickmans, many if you want more than that

>>5043267
theres no minimum you can learn and get good at animating with stickmen. they're 2 separate skills you can train independantly. a lof of pro 3d animators can barely draw at all

>>5043267
you dont lmao
that being said being good at drawing will make it a million times faster and easier

How do i do loops and get better at animating cloth??

>>5045270
Joseph Gilland, Elemental Magic.

>>5046019
You only animated half the loop

>>5046019
On the last frame, have the knight be in the exact same exact pose he was in as the first frame. This loop is only half done.

I gave myself a challenge to a five second stop-motion cartoon everyday for December. This is the newest one.

>>5045271
this, frankly you deserve to get scammed if you're dumb enough to do that

>>5046173
>>5046194
Your right.

>>5046339
The timing kinda gives it a pimp walk feel
Whether that's intentional or not, keep it

>>5046339
Almost there. When the gif loops from the last frame to the first, there is a bit of a brief pause. If you take out the last frame, it looks more seamless.

>>5046436

Hey retards. Studios dont care if you can make a walk cycle, not even for interns. Acting, they like acting pieces.

>>5047782
Hey retard. Your acting is gonna suck if you don't even know how to make someone walk.

>>5047782
absolutely not true.
t. works at a studio

>>5047782
Sad cope
can't even do a walk cycle

Making a believable walk cycle is unironically one of the hardest things to animate.

>>5034329
Holy shit thats a nice tune.

>>5047851
Since the conversation leads to walk cycle, I have preordered Toshiyuki Inoue's books on Walk Cycle and Effect Animation. I wonder if you guys want to see it getting translated? Probably it will arrive in early January though.

>>5048084
all three of those look really interesting to me. Even if untranslated if you scan and upload them that would be so good

>>5048084
That would be terrific

>>5048084
Yes please.

>>5046740

>>5048474
>>5049573
All right, I'll try to share when they arrived.

>>5049586
>>5048084
I wish they'd release them digitally.
The shipping fee is absurd.

>>5049593
Yeah, although I can only say it probably worth the money since it's a one time only sale and the chance you're getting it is low. Unless you want to buy from reseller who sold it at insane price on amazon. The walk cycle book has been out of stock since 2017 and I saw the second hand book was being sold at 10,000 ~ 20,000 yen price.

>>5022198

very cute. Would recommend more inbetweens but for what it is, I like it.

Witness me. Status of crabs: EVAPORATED

>>5050759
nice drawing but i don't know if i'd call that animation

>>5050759
YOU AGAIN

>>5042934
looks good, i like it

>>5050818
I have the right to shill myself wherever I want when I spend a couple of dozen hours on one piece.

is there any guide to draw layouts (for background) or maybe book that I can use as reference? Hisashi Eguchi's background artbook is one of few examples I could think of, but I wonder if there's any more? Also, I found Oshima Toya's tweet that he bought this book about drawing background's perspective.

>>5052208
The book by Ed Ghertner is ok but there really isn't anything comprehensive with good examples of professional work.
There was a book released in 2010 by Frank MacClean that looks decent but it got pulled by Disney or some shit and is currently worth $1000.

The most helpful stuff I've found is just environment courses for concept design. Feng Zhu's youtube, CGMA Environment courses that are floating around in mega's, foundation patreon environment videos.
And just normal perspective stuff like Scott Robertson, Framed perspective, Gary Meyer etc...

Blessed.

learning cleanup. usually my first lines are my last lines! haven't animated much yet

>>5055763
i dont understand what action shes supposed to be doing

>>5055763
Yeah, the action doesn't read very well here. Maybe it's because the lines are so rough?

>>5055773
>>5055786
I think she's masturbating.

>>5055773
>>5055786
Should be a little more clear this time around.

She's steadying herself on one hand and using her foot to push off the ground. Thinking of removing some of the frames in the middle, and replacing those with frames that cushion the two keys where her arms and limbs overlap.

The scene is that she's struggling to fit in with Imperial society, and this particular episode happens after some local girls bully her for being a dark elf. I was wondering if this scene in it's rough stages captured that, and if not, how I can improve the storytelling.

Fialni, her older half-sister who is much more versed in understanding Imperial society and the tribes that make it, is calling out to her. telling that it will be alright. Shirri does not want to listen; in Shirri's eyes, it's just too much for her to deal with.

>>5055862
other than she turns around, the last couple frames are good showing her being dejected but i don't understand why she turned around or what she's doing with her hands.

>>5055862
Work on your timing. The action feels too mechanical. Also, it would help us if the drawings were cleaner, but I'm sure you were planning to clean it up

Can I ask something? Do you think learning from gengashuu/keyframe collection is a decent method to understand how Japanese animators do the timing/spacing?
>>5053538
Thanks a lot!

What are the recommended free alternatives to adobe after effects?

>>5058884
Just go to m0nkrus' site (first one on google) and torrent ae from one of his links

What language should I start learning if I want to work as a in-house hand-drawn animator in 5-7 years? Japanese, Korean, French, Mandarin?

>>5059483
French, the Chinese and Japanese won't accept you no matter how hard you try. Koreans will, but you won't earn any money animating.

>>5059494
ahh, but i wanna learn Japanese :(

>>5059858
Too bad weeb. You fucks will worship the Japanese, but they won't show you any love back.

>>5059881
I'm Chinese so I could pass, right? They can't sniff me out, can they?

>>5012462
has anyone here been able to make a living with animation?

>>5059895
yes

>>5059907
how?

>>5059909
Get hired by studios, marketing yourself(fanart, trends, etc*), or porn.

>>5059909
make furryshit

>>5059887
いや、絶対にできるよ
>>5059881
Japanese people will love you if you're white. Anything else, no.

>>5059887
Do you not know how much the chinese hate the japanese and vice versa?

I mean I did a bouncing ball, hi guys

>>5060288
that was WWII era man

>>5059895
>>5059909
yes, I have a studio job working in animation. I make about $900USD/week

>>5060586
...but are you an animator? hand-drawn?

>>5060593
yeah, i'm an animator. I do a mix of hand drawn stuff and rigged animation depending on the production

>>5060624
What studio is that? What studios should I be looking out for in general if I wanna do what you do?

>>5029972
What do you think about CapU's 2d program?

>>5060788
I work with a lot of people who graduated from Capilano. I don't know exactly what goes into the program, but their work is consistently very good coming out of it. Many of the graduates get hired straight out of college, especially since Vancouver has like half the animation jobs in Canada. The class sizes are also pretty small I think, so you get a pretty tight knit group of hard working artists. I'd recommend it if you're thinking about applying

>>5045271
I didn't. I require half upfront. he bailed on a nice piece of money too. You guys are real cunts sometimes thinking you know everything.

>>5061739
not sure my comment was that rude but whatever
at least you got some compensation

>>5060256
love that energy

>>5012462
how do i get over missing out on a drawing class with Ralph Bashi?

a while back in April i got an email from Bakshi's office website about how he was having an online class for a believe $35

I was so exited that i bought some new drawing equipment like a note pad and some pencils

but when the day finally came i never received the zoom code until it was too late
they later refunded my money but i'm still bummed out about it since he’s probably gonna die in a few years since he’s already a dinosaur now and i missed my one chance to learn from my idol

has anyone here had similar experiences of missing out on stuff?

>>5031054
The drumsticks are really floppy, is that what you were going for?

Anyone else get annoyed that they are commonly called "timing charts" when they are showing the spacing?
Neither Illusion of Life, Animators Survival Kit or Character Animation Crash Course call them timing charts.

>>5064315
it's confusing

>>5064315
yes and it was one of the things that was super confusing when I first started
the timing is always the framerate, it's the spacing that varies

>>5064659
>the timing is always the framerate,
What?

What's your favorite doujin? Mines this one.

What hentai would you reanimate if you could?

>>5064699
on one of those charts, two hashmarks close to each other are the same time apart as two hashmarks far away from each other - each hashmark is 1 frame at whatever the framerate is which is usually 24.
What varies is the physical location/spacing of something on the page.

>>5055862
focus on keyframes, breakdowns and timing, so far it looks "floaty" and is hard to even know what is happening. Also next time use a simple character since you are beg tier, no need to go stupidly complex costume anime waifu when learning

>>5045080
wait wtf, no this cant be fucking real
thats one of the weirdest deja vu i had
and i feel like i saw this comment under that gif more than a year ago

>>5060256
This is insanely good

>>5066800
hes autistic, don't bother, he never listens

A quicky.

They apparently come with pdfs and video files.
Hope someone could share those.

any pointers to someone whos going to begin in Adobe Animate? done simple sketches and drawings before but never frame-by-frame

>>5068702
my copies are on the way, but since it's ems it probably will take more than a week to arrive. Hopefully I don't have to pay a hefty amount of tax again. I wish this was on amazon but then again tokyo otaku mode is the only official partner for PA works shop so if you encounter someone selling these books for more than this price on amazon/other site, they are resellers.

Fix for cracked CSP not being able to go past 24 frames.
>>5069553

>>5069586
I bought CSP so this is useless to me at this point.

>>5069715
bruh, I hope you bought it during sales.

>>5069715
>buying CSP EX over CSP pro

>>5069729
Why not?
It pays for itself just after 3 cuts of key animation.

>>5068728
make a drawing, make a new frame and make a drawing and so on, realize that is shit, read a book about animation, make a ball exercise, make a head turn, make a walking cycle, realize that is shit, grind, notice improvement and so on

https://youtu.be/SY3y6zNTiLs
Would would you call this style of animation?
It's definitely some variety of rotoscoping, but I don't think it's accurate to call it just that since 90% of the frames seem like something generated with EbSynth. AI-assisted rotoscoping?

>>5071333
*What would

>>5042934
It looks like only half his body is moving, that packpack looks heavy and he's not even hunching over even a little bit? Come on man stop being lazy.

>>5071333
this is either rotoscoped, or a live-action video run through an edge detector/cartoonize filter.

>>5071429
Looks like mocap

>>5069729
>buying CSP over downloading it from slav torrent tracker

>>5071500
not them, but I would rather buy to own than pay monthly; that's the whole reason why I continue to pirate the adobe creative suite

>>5021449
What did you use to animate pepe?

first animation, gf dared me to make a burpee
>inb4 >/3/
That place is worthless. I plan on doing 3D purely as a hobby and love animation. Gib critique

>>5072714
Pretty solid, it could be sped up a bit I think. The pushup works really well, but his hands come up off the ground before his feet touch the ground after ward, I think they should stay planted until his feet are on the floor to support himself. His elbows also go from being straight to being bent and then back to being straight again which looks awkward. It looks like they're just trying to conform to an IK/FK handle or whatever. For your first animation this is a really good start, mostly it just needs a bit of tightening.

>>5072749
uwu
Thanks anon. I ran into a billion issues with the rig itself, like the chain of parents from Hip> chest > shoulder > elbow > being disordered. And yes, the IK handles were getting outstretched and I didn't know how to fix it. I prayed to the gods of interpolation presets to help in some spots.

Anybody know where I can find a serial number for Flash CS6? Either that or a free download of Flash in general.

>>5072714
it looks really slow and floaty, the keys look good but you need a lot more of timing work, there is a lack of ease in and ease out. I would recommend you taking a video acting the animation and studying the timing there.

>>5072782
I think it's called adobe animate now

Given that he's a nigger it's not too surprising.

>>5042920
Yes, much more jiggle

Japs hate chinks, and rightly so

>>5060371
Nah, most Japs still hate the Chinese.

where do you work? what city do you live in? what's your home address?

>>5060677
Search animation studios in google. Send demo reel and portfolio. Done

>>5073138
where'd you get this? got any more?

Still a beginner at animation.

I'm wondering if I'm doing well to challenge myself with these complex movements/perspective, or if I should just use more side views.

I'm having a hard time figuring proportions, and the under drawings take so long and are so sketchy I get discouraged from actually cleaning it up.

Getting there slowly though. This thread is great and some of you have good work.
