Didn't see any threads concerning 2-d animation, does anyone else see themselves looking into it? I've heard good/bad things about using flash but I can't even afford flash to test it out for myself.

This. I bought (yes, I spent money after having pirated the previous versions for like a decade) CS5 a while ago and I will never upgrade to Creative Cloud at this rate. That's $360 dollars a year I don't feel like spending. I would whole-heartedly consider it if they ever improve the hand drawn animation workflow but I've literally been waiting for them to do that since fucking CS1. The brush is still shit and will always be shit. All I want for them is to improve on that and steal some features from Toon Boom and they'll have my attention. Until that happens they can shove it.

See the main issue with that is discussion on 4chan comes from contentious shit there isn't anything controversial with talking about animating, but there's a lot of debate and shit flinging to be had with talking about programs.

I don't think they can, that's the tragedy in all this. Flash has bar none the best interactivity of the bunch and the worst drawing tools. In this video ( >>2077952 ) Bilbo Baiggins says he would have been done "at least 20 minutes ago" at the 34:40~ if he were using paper (or a program with a competent brush I imagine as well). Flash straight up sucks balls when it comes to animating like this and it really steams me up because I love its interface and interactivity and I won't be able to afford another program for some time.

Nothing wrong with using software. I'm just saying that the software isn't important when you're starting out. You can end up getting bogged down with too many tools, and clunky interfaces. When starting out simplicity is key. But if there is software out there that works, go for it.

What I meant with things moving at the same pace is that nothing holds, everything is in constant motion, you need to give the viewer a reason to look at every part individually. As I look at it more and try to break it down I see some sears on the breast that aren't necessary, the back of the ponytail moves, yet not her actual head. Mostly all shapes, I see no volumes, which is what you need for a complex motion like bellydancing. Also don't focus on accessories, they just distract you, I think for the job if you wanted to get in you should've shown a stronger grasp of actual animation and volumes instead of focusing on the details, I think they distracted you too much. Keep things simple and clear and concise. Detail comes much later in the process, get those forms and volumes
down.

>>2078723
This piece is stronger, but same issue, the volume on the arms is lost, good attempt at the head, but work to push those ears more.

What software are you supposed to use to "half animate" ? I mean, mostly using one drawing, and deforming it (while using layers) to make it move instead of redrawing each frame (or at least, redraw much less of them).

Besides better drawing as all my stuff could use, this "punch" could have used significantly more "anticipation", of which it really doesn't have any to speak of. One of the guys thought it looked like he was just punching to his left side and he was absolutely right. That's why criticism is important, an action needs to read well for more people than just the person drawing it.

For example, if the character were to "pull" that same fist he'll go on to punch with backwards for a second or two, telegraphing the punch, the intent would be far more apparent and the effect, hopefully achieved.

It's just so weird that directors like Satoshi Kon are so rare. Kon worked on animation, not only because he liked comics and cartoons, but also because he realized that it is the most fitting platform for him. He knew what kind of stories would work in animation. Which is why his films are so fucking good. Most of his films could easily be live action, but they work the best with animation.

Animation is such an undervalued platform it's saddening.

I did this in Flash, it has worked relatively well for me, I've only had memory problems with it, the part with the animated grass plane gave me troubles, I'm thinking that's because it's all vector based? :/ I really don't know if I should stick with Flash though, I'd really appreciate feedback. :S

Still used plenty in the industry and independent practitioners. As long as you know how to use it well it can produce some great work.

It can't really kill 2D animation if its getting so many people to start practising it. Hopefully they'll move onto better programs but even if they don't as long as they're learning and creating then 2D can't be killed.

This is really nice. But I prefer much more japanese animations (good) to good Disney's. It's weird because I find this one really neat on paper. But maybe it's the coloring, inking in Western animation that I can't like as much.

What do you think of colors in animations? I've been interested in japanese animations/animators/sakuga and all but nobody ever talk about the colorists, it must take a hell of time and a lot of talent to do good colors too.

Lol, a few days ago I was searching for animation communities since I got interested in trying it then I found Newgrounds (yeah I knew by name but never were interested in shitty flash animations) and in the few "Most popular" pages you were the best one. Unfortunately I tried flash and can't get nice lines so I'll try something else.

There's also this SaltyIceCream guy who uses Flash to do short but nice hentai animations (also his economic model is interesting, he gets 500$ per 2~ seconds animations if I'm right, on Patreon, I should copy him if I find some artistic domain where I'm good at (and porn is successful as usual, good thing to remember when you don't want to be a porn actor but still use people's libido to grab money)).

And I guess many others. I can't imagine how Yuasa's team must have had pain doing Ping Pong with Flash tools.

Japanese and "western" animation are just two completely different schools of animation. Both are good, but I personally don't like western animation as much as Japanese, because the western style of character animation is so exaggerated. Don't get me wrong, Disney fucking perfected character animation, the large variety of expressions and shit that they can convey is far above of what most Japanese animators can do, but when it comes to acting, the characters moving around and expressing themselves, most of the time it looks unnatural. It's like I am watching actors act out on a stage play where they have to do these large movements and constantly swing their arms around to convey what they're feeling. Japanese character animation is subtler and in that regard more immersive (for me).
(also I like that in Japan the animators own style often is allowed to show in the finished animation)

Definitely; thanks for the tips. One of the problems with that project was I was the only artist with 3 programmers so I felt very rushed (I still don't know how much work any of them actually put in themselves but whatever). A bigger problem though was my inexperience. I had just started drawing at that time and it took me ages to not only make a character design but to make it move even in some small way because I was super indecisive about everything.

My inconsistency, artistic and otherwise was probably one of the reasons the project fell through (apart from the fact nobody was getting paid and was thus likely doomed from the start), I simply couldn't draw environments yet (still can't I'm sure) and what little I was capable of was very slow in manifesting itself. I want to say it took me about a week to get a character and a set of simple rough animations done, most of that time was spent ruminating on the character design and making sure everything "looked right enough" and so on.

Anyway, I don't know what's worse. Being a newbie artist or looking a few years back and realizing you haven't improved as much as you'd like.

I really like Sylvain Chomet's works (The old woman and the pidgins or something like that is good, my favourite from him). Also René Laloux has an interesting world, but I'm not a fan of his style, even if the "still painting"-like faces in Fantastic Planet were great while being economic I guess. On an other hand I'm not a fan of The king and the mockingbird. What's so great in it? What am I missing?

super pro tip from the person who animating robots for games.
1) you HAVE to draw robot parts of a different layers
2) you HAVE to move other parts while the main parts are moving.

Like for example when your robotchu starts shooting - it should lower its body a bit while wheels will stay untouched.

Thanks for the advice. I think the wheels were on a different layer actually, but I just wasn't super invested in making the most articulate animation in the world regardless. Every animation I made had to be very economical because I was the only art dude (until towards the very end where they got another of their friends whom was far more experienced than me to help, not that it mattered in the end) and the other guys had pretty high expectations of me, as far as what they wanted the eventual project to end up like anyway.

I only signed on for the work experience which I got a little bit of (I'd never animated before and I thought it would be a good motivator/practice), as the weeks dragged on it would get more and more apparent that it probably wasn't going to happen.

You're right about the slow down frames and blur or smear, it's kind of hard to tell if he's spinning around in circles from taking one in the kisser as intended or he's just shaking his head furiously. Wind up frames wouldn't make much sense in this instance though in my opinion, considering the motion is coming from an implied forceful blow. The transition from an idle state to being spun like a top would be instant. More slow down frames as he returns to his idle position would help give the impression that he was spinning towards stage right after an attack.

Anonymous Wed May 13 22:12:33 2015 No.2085872

>>2085857
While I understand the logic behind your feeling that wind up frames wouldn't make sense, you need to keep in mind that the purpose of your animation is to convey a motion and feeling and be easily understood by your audience.

I get that this is a robot and it won't *wind up* as a human does. However, adding such a tiny preliminary motion would still help prime your audience for what comes next as it would lead your character to operate in a fashion that they are intimately familiar with.

Whatever you decide, carry on anon, animation is taxing but rewarding and fun.

Was looking up some animation video on youtube, and came across a 2012 continuation of Mysterious Cities of Gold, a cartoon I watched as a kid in the 80s.

It's absolutely fucking atrocious. They've done the whole thing in cel shaded 3d, and it looks extremely low budget. Yet every single comment, including the people who grew up with the original, seem to praise it.

Is it just me, or does this look stiff and soulless?

Here's the original:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ki99YBVKyw

To get a proper impression of the animation, I'd suggest watching the second half of the first episode. It's surprisingly decent for an early 80s cartoon where they managed to squeeze out almost 40 episodes in less than a year.

Get the cheapest book on animation principles you can find and practise with some flour sack exercises to see if you have the patience. Then try a walk cycle. Structure and maintaining consistent volume is really important. Just use paper and flip it. Scan frames in and clean-up in photoshop or wherever to make a gif if you really want. TVPaint is great for hand-drawn digital 2d.

If you do try flash get CS6 for the free trial period, after that's up it.. still works.. shhhhhh

alright.
i found a thread i was wishing to find one day on /ic/
the critique i am looking for is about the motion and the idea itself, like, if the position works for 4 legged creatures, if the background looks too bland even if it you could interpret as focus thing.

studied animator's survival kit.
and tried to feel how the pronstars move when sex.

bronies doesn't seems to understand much about animation itself.
so, i am felling too much on my own without having a proper person to receive critique for.
specially when it goes to pony porn. brony artists that can animate are rare and people that are advanced are the rarest.

this animation was done in adobe flash CS6.
the animation is vector based done with puppets.

i am talking about making quality animation tecnically wise, as in, smoothness, motion physics...
their animation in general is not something i would say that has the complexity and quality i try to do with the physics, but they have made a lot though the years, they seem to focus more about the overall idea than the tecnical part, as in how to make things flow smoothly.

Yes, I'm not sure why you'd want to do stick figures or abstract rough sketches. A nice compromise would be the "flour sack" if you don't want to commit to drawing a full character but you still want to practice. Bringing life to a simple "flour sack" is a time-honored technique.

What do you mean by too much? if you have a decent understanding of drawing, no. approach it like you would a study with gestures and form first, then details. use whatever means you normally use for drawing.

here's a rough from Milt Kahl (timing is wrong though). The form, consistency, and motion is what's most important.

My goal is to actually be an artsy animator one day and make some short adaptations of famous literature (stopped drawing to focus on literature, for a while was learning multiple languages and reading/studying a novel a day)

In the meantime, though, I'm focusing on anatomy etc. so it can eventually carry over towards my animation.

Thanks!

>>2091377
I made a bunch of fixes.

First thing is framerate, try to make it workable, even if this means changing it to 12, 6, or even 3 fps, you need to visualize the final speed of the animation, then slowly add more frames and exposures until it looks decently fluid.

Second if consistency. Her proportions and hair change in the second step, and there was a key pose missing after frame 3.

Next is secondary animation, the things that lag behind, in this case it's her hair, when her head goes up, her hair should be pulled down by the sudden force, then eases in, same when she steps down, her hair should be pulled up a little bit, then bounce/ease into the step.

Another technique to achieve flexibility is breaking of joints, instead of using a smear or motion blur. Make the elbow ahead of her fist for a single frame, like she's double jointed, it's subtle, but it adds a tiny bit of lag which adds to the flexibility of movement.

The next step here is to add one set of inbetweens to smooth out and add ease in/out to her arms, and change it to a 24 fps.

Good luck friend, I like your style which is why I wanna help you out.

After effects.
Basically break down the painting into background and layers for the character while in painting production process. Importing PSD into AE and rigging the character layers with different pins and link them to act like bones; use puppet warp with keyframing to create animation. For the head they most likely use Mettle Freeform which can puppetwarp a face and create an illusion of movement.
Then they add particles, various fx, dust from stock video sequences etc etc. Not so complicated if you have some understanding of After effects and how puppet warp character animation works.

To understand some basics of how the puppet tool works in After effects, you can check out this video: https://vimeo.com/54578927 its pretty basic but it explains the process of rigging with null objects.
What you are looking for in particular is probably the freeform plugin for AE; it can emulate 3d movement with null objects and more from 2D layers. Basic tut on that here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27NYWW5Y64I
Before learning all of this, get introduced to AE by looking at some particle effects tutorial on youtube or so and you'll learn quickly how keyframes and the interface work in AE. Basically if you look for the right tuts you can learn all of this on your own, keep looking for Freeform Pro plugin vids. About particles, effects and stuff like that, i recommend videocopilot tutorials, various plugins and the trapcode particular plugins (must have for vfx).

I just animated this using tvpaint. It's been a long while since the last time i animated.
Help me decide which artstyle i should use for a project, i need feedback. The other thread i made didnt help much.

hello anons

just a small question
I have posted some work on other animation thread before, too
and I rarely see people leave comment (not even criticism)

Have I misunderstand something?
or It's just my work looks mediocre so people don't know what to say?

It's fine lol

hmm, the legs looks like suddenly switched place

you need make people see 2 legs switching place clearly
maybe add a frame that 2 legs overlap each other?

My first animation ever. Though still incomplete, it's supposed to be the unscrewing of a lightbulb. I'm using flash mx 6 and the mouse.

How do I become good like this guy (>>2095092)? Would I need to start using a tablet?

it's still bugging me, same problem than before but less visible

but i'm not sure it's from the perspective, maybe there is not enough frames for the transition to be believable

but i still think your perspective is a bit wrong... maybe, let's wait for someone else opinion

in fact, now that I watch it in another angle, it seems less weird, I thought that was supposed to be a "floating" cube spinning on itself, but if I see it as a "rolling" cube falling on one of its face each time, the movement is not as strange

Thanks. It's like my 3rd animation, ever, that wasn't a ball or an attempt at a walk cycle. I'm just aiming to make a gif for a friend's stream, with this one, figured it'd be pretty easy. I also plan to change the face up, a bit, but I did this one as quick placeholder, so that I could have a basis to animate the moving areas. Easy peasey to change, since the face is stoic.
