Anyone know how to properly do in-betweens with Clip Studio Paint? It's such an ass to do in-betweens because it won't let you extend 1 frame to 2 frames or even 4 frames.

[Anonymous No.3535292]

>>3535103
Well fuck I would love to know that too.
It's so un intuitive I just went to Krita for animation.

[Anonymous No.3535573]

>>3535103
So what you could do is:
-Animation > Specify Cel > Batch Specify Cels.
Then from there what I do is:
-Specify name of of existing animation cel > starting cell = first, end cell = last > set frame number to x=y+z where y is the default number of frames per cel, and z is how many extra frames per cel you wish to add.

However there are some things I don't understand. Like when you try to only add a frame to just one cel it will overwrite any cell ahead of it(see pic) and I haven't figured out how to fix that without dragging the timeline around.
>pic
The left is what happens when I extended the frames on cel 1 by 1, which overwrote cel 2's frame. Not entirely sure how to fix through the settings. And the right is the manual fix by specifying which cel I want on which frame on the timeline.

I'm not sure if there is a way as easy as pressing f5 on flash.

its just the storyboard
i like fully animating/half animating it, so i would have an easier time actually animating it
but if you wanna elaborate or recommend a fix im all ears

[Anonymous No.3536038]

>>3536021
i just dont really know what that movement he's doing after he closes his fist. i get it's a storyboard, but it feels way too rough for such a simple motion to be able to critique it. film reference before animating because >>3536017 is right on the money; the movement isn't fluid at all and feels almost like the shoulder has ridges that lock the arm in place.

[Anonymous No.3536043]

>>3536038
it times with a song, the point of the movement is to lock in on 3 spots. not be totally fluid, if thats what youre getting at?

Hey does anyone know where to get it for mac?

[Anonymous No.3536658]

>>3536361
What he was talking about is how to extend the current cel's number of frames.

Refer to this image.
Each cel is on for [1] frame, and he's asking how to extend it so certain cels last for more frames. In this image the name of each cel follows the pattern of CEL 1, CEL 2, CEL 3, etc. The number above each cel indicates what frame it is occupying. As you see CEL 3 is on frame 3 and there is no cel on frame 4. That's an extended frame, meaning the cel occupying the frame before all extended frames is the cel that is shown during those frames. An empty frame would look like the gap after CEL 9. During that frame no cel is played and the image goes blank.

What he wants to do is extend frames, I assume with a command and not manually.

What is this panning effect called and are there any tutorials on moving the background to simulate parallax?

[Anonymous No.3536708]

>>3536658
Huh that's weird weird, what version are you using? In my version, it's different. Say there's frame 1, 2 and 3. And there's Cell 1 occupying frame 1 and Cell 2 occupying frame 3. When it's played, what happens is that Cell 1 will be visible during both frame 1 and 2. Am I getting this wrong?

[Anonymous No.3536723]

Are there any good programs for panning shots? I want to make a huge scene and have the camera follow the a character.

[Anonymous No.3536772]

>>3536690
theres not really a way to explain how to do this imo, but its not very hard, the background and characters need to work together, background not moving= character just spinning in circles, plus set the character on an offset axis, meaning dont make him the center of the shot but move him slightly to the side so when he the camera is turning around him his not really spinning more like rotating on a plate.

[Anonymous No.3536915]

>>3536690
>One way to do it:
Draw the background like that first, with a curve

Then draw the character turning in place

Then make the camera pan from left to right

And then take all the frames of the character turning around and space them out from left to right in order to follow the camera

>Another easier way to do it:
Draw the character turning in place

Then make the background move from left to right, either do it manually by copying and pasting it a bunch of times or have the software do it for you, in Adobe Flash/animate it's called tweening, in TVPaint you can keyframe it from one position to the other

Ahhh I'm getting it now, sorry for my pea brain. Yeah it is extremely inconvenient you can't simply extend how many frames a cell last without manually dragging stuff in the timeline, especially if you have a ton of cells. I hope Clip Studio will add this feature in the next update

>>3537373
Yeah I know, meme'd ya back

>>3537394
I started with Adobe Flash, so Adobe Animate must be pretty easy to get into as well + there's more than enough tutorials on YT

But if you really want a software for traditionally styled frame by frame animation, toughen it out and go with TVPaint from the start. Animate can do frame by frame but not as good as TVPaint, or better said not as easily

[Anonymous No.3538204]

anyone got a crack of TVpaint?

[Anonymous No.3538281]

I want to learn storyboarding for animation, do you guys think Clip Studio Paint good enough for it? I really like their drawing tools better than any other software, but I realized their animation tools are still very limited.
One of the limitation, as said above, is that you can't easily extend a cell frames without having to manually select a bunch and dragging them across the time line manually.

[Anonymous No.3538286]

>>3538281
Also what do you guys think of traditional strip-format storyboarding vs. doing it directly in an animated format? I see that pretty much all Japanese anime studios still do the former, but most modern courses and tutorials use the latter

sure he's an asshole, but he's a correct asshole. you're anatomy isn't good and animating basic shapes and fundamentals before full body movements and fire will improve your skills much faster. do what you want to do, but people's opinions will be what they'll be as well. it's literally a world of criticism, constructive and destructive, so you aren't doing yourself any favors for lashing out like an idiot. just take the criticism and do what you want with it.

it loses my cursor a lot, random straight lines appear from random places on the canvas to wherever i'm holding my pen, and sometimes it won't register that i'm putting pen to tablet surface and won't make any marks at all (I have to physically hold my pen away from my tablet to fix this).
i'm using a cintiq that's practically a decade old, though, so i always just assume that anything goes wrong is the tablet's fault and not the program's, though. and anyway, it's still a free program with a ton of great features, so I'm willing to overlook pretty much all that stuff

I was offered the position of a clean up artist for a 2d frame by frame animation film, but the payment seems a bit low to me. I am new to the business.

If the default is 24 frames per second you'll be doing 24 illustrations of a character. I'd say that's decent given you're doing only 1 character, you're not doing the shadows on a character and you're living outside of the US

The thing is, you're just cleaning it up, if it's not a sketch that's all over the place you should have everything basically laid out for you. I'd say I could do like 15-20 frames per hour of a character like Ben 10

I'm actually beginning to think the anon below me is right, they're asking way too much for 30$

[Anonymous No.3547216]

>>3546943
That's really low, but a lot of it depends on things like your experience, how long the film is, how intense the animation is, and if by coloring that includes shading. But by what it sounds, that is really really low, and they either don't know how much work clean-up is, or they're trying to swindle ya.

it's on 2s, so that means max 12 drawings per second.
the animations i get include keyframes and breakdowns, but they're very rough.
the models are semi complex, but they're above simple tv cartoon standards.
yes I also have to shade the characters, so that is clean-up the keyframes & breakdowns, do all the inbetweens, color the drawings, shade them and then export them.
I am Junior Level, so I didn't expect a high salary, but I am also a freelancer and need to pay back a lot of taxes.
I am European, so the living standards are equal to or higher than in the US.

[Anonymous No.3547754]

Woah wait, when you say "do all the inbetweens," do you mean you have to tween the keys or just clean up the tweens? Because if you have to tween as well as clean-up, this is a total scam. Unless you absolutely need the money and there is no other options for any kind of work, I would highly recommend either asking for more or backing off.

I get that it's sliding off a slant surface, but I feel like it jerks into certain positions too quickly, especially towards the end. I would consider how it's bouncing and which direction it would lead itself towards, and if you're properly conveying just how heavy it really is. Would a brick be bouncing that high? Would it be in the air for that long? You might want to pay closer attention.

>>3548072
Going with what this anon >>3548075 says;
It seems like the box/brick or whatever seems to have enough mass to bounce that high, but just enough to immediately stick and land on the floor within a single frame. take some footage of a box [either empty, filled slightly, or completely full] and study how the objects inside affect how the box interacts with the ground during it's bounces.
With every action, is an equal and opposite reaction. A light empty box will bounce and slide around.
A box half full will bounce and have the weight of the objects inside throw it off a little, giving it some weird characteristics, like when you try roll a half full water bottle across a table. The water inside has it's own mass that affects the whole thing itself.
A box that is full is just heavy, depending on whatever's in it. It'll have a reaction/bounce similar to a brick's.
The right hand of animation is drawing. The left hand is making it move. The brain is the physics.

Ahh I see, I understand now. I was having a hard time really grasping what that anon meant without a visual example. But your gif really helped thanks.

Chances are I'm gonna redo these a lot, this is just my first pass through these exercises. I'm reading through Animator's Survival Kit as well, and as I learn new things, I get the desire to re-apply them. It's a matter of internalizing things. Right now, I'm trying to get all the fundamentals down, but I likely will give it another go down the line as I've improved.

Thanks so much for your posts. They really helped.

I didn't see much of a point in doing a head turn without anticipation to give it more life.

[Anonymous No.3548311]

>>3547251

Keep and eye on your volumes. The same volume of mass needs to feel like its being displaced when squashed and stretched.

Your archs. They need to flow into each other otherwise they will result in a jittery animation. If you're having trouble, pick a anchor point and plot it throughout your animation. Bring any stray points back in alignment.

Your timing. Having too many at the top of your bounce is causing and unnatural hang. Be sure you understand what it means to ease in and ease out, you can try using some timing charts.

Made some slight changes to positioning, volumes, archs as well as split frame 13 and gave it a slight more squish to improve anticipation. Hopefully everything together makes it feels better.

Keep it up Anon, you look like you really enjoy this.
Don't give up.

what's the point of making storyboards for animation

[Anonymous No.3548917]

Kiyotaka Oshiyama's studio opened a service for aspiring animators who want to get their illustration/layout/drawing pose corrected by Oshiyama. Pretty nice because his advice is very insightful. If you don't know who Oshiyama is, he works on Space Dandy season 2 episode 5, FMA Brotherhood movie as Layout supervisor and animator, and his recent works are Flip Flappers director and mecha designer for FLCL progressive.

>>3548883
To determine the best shot design, relative actions, character placement, etc before going all out and animating something you don’t have blocked out. Otherwise you’ll be making these decisions all at once, and you’ll easily find youself making tons of mistakes that you could’ve prevented by boarding the scene.

What are some good animated shows to try retro-boarding?

[Anonymous No.3549064]

Never heard of retro-boarding before, but if you’ve never storyboarded before, literally anything will teach you something. Samurai Jack is a good example of dynamic shots and solid action, whereas I guess Ren and Stimpy shows you strong poses and a sense of comedic timing. I personally don’t see much of a point in retro-boarding something, just because you can find a ton of the original boards online and can get a sense of what was most needed to communicate the scene. But that’s just me, lotta people need that physicality and actually redo it.

It's interesting, this is honestly my first ever time at animating anything.

why is that harder than fighting

[Anonymous No.3550888]

>>3550855
Because fighting is more free-form and you can really let yourself loose while animating it and you can tackle it in numerous ways

And then animating a character doing something ordinary while nailing his personality through it, I'd say animating a character's movement while he's talking is the hardest ordinary thing to animate, most animated shows today cop out when it comes to that and you see characters just standing still while they talk with little to no movement at all, Disney nailed it in it's older movies, even today they're basically unparalleled, yeah they're sometimes overly expressive but it never seems uncanny

Try it yourself or just think about trying it, to animate a deep character having a conversation and making it look decent and then try animating a fight scene and making that look decent, I bet you'd find it harder to do the first one or at least if not you then most people

not that anon, but it's really a thing you just notice but can't put a pin on.

However, some good examples of subtlety include Creature Comforts and a lot of the later half of Chuck Jones' career. Comforts use exaggerated forms, sure, but there's so much personality behind the motions and you get such a sense of humanity in the way they emote physically. And Chuck Jones drew these faces and had little moments in his animation that are dynamic but feel very natural and human, rather than his earlier work that was very bombastic and tried to be loud.

doing things in order -- carefully drawn keyframes, then breakdowns, then inbetweens, using onion skinning to compare the surrounding frames in each step
do a lot of gesture drawing and eventually you get a feel for proportion which helps greatly if you want to animate straight ahead

I'm about to go insane. Lately I've been trying to et back into animation with a bouncing ball. I finished putting the extremes and I was about to do the first inbetween before suddenly having trouble drawing a circle between two other HOW DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE DOING THAT?????????????? im really about to explode ive been reading art books that were suggested on this chat and was actively drawing this month. I'm really about to explode and I don't know what to do.

A FUCKING CIRCLE. TROUBLE WITH A CIRCLE.

how do you collect references for animation

[Anonymous No.3555549]

>>3555545
Youtube (or if a human action, just film yourself doing it if possible)

[Anonymous No.3555561]

>>3555545
like other anon said youtube is great, make a playlist and add videos that you think might be useful. My fav feature is that you can use the < and > keys to go forward and backwards a frame, great for analysing movement in life and animation

Here's my playlist, I don't think all of them are groundbreaking animations but I do think all of them have at least one thing I'd like to incorporate in my own work

There is a really good book on 2d animation of effects which would be useful for understand the way in which certain processes work.

Did you mean more visual effects like live action integration and compositing?

I'll do some research into some good 3d books :)

I just meant any visual effects in-general, just anything. Oh, and maybe some reference sheets from ATLA would be nice

Thanks!

how do you handle clean up if you can't even draw a circle? theres a lot of handling proportion and ratios in animation, a circle would be an ideal thing to make sure you don't have a problem with.

+ not being able to draw a circle = for sure not being able to draw an elipse, and there goes most semblance of 3d form in your animation

I tried AMB Bouncing ball in Clip Studio but I think I fucked up the timing/frames. Probably redo it in flash, Any good though?

>can't even draw circles
you probably either draw with your wrist, or your fucking foot. lock your wrist and use your whole arm to get larger circles and more stability with your lines. don't draw too slowly either. when you draw slowly, there's more room for error and you're making it harder for yourself in the long run. doing quick strokes is more effective and it gets the job done.

ps flash has a tool that straightens out your messy circles into perfect vector circles.

I would recommend you put off animation until you learn how to draw at a basic level. You don’t have to be super skilled but just learn some of the basics first, like a mid tier /beg/. Richard Williams says this too albeit a bit more extreme saying that you should be an extremely skilled draftsman and fall in love with drawing before approaching animation. Just take some time off from animation, don’t put so much pressure on yourself and practice the basics like drawabox, then when you feel a bit more comfy, come back and give animation another go. I had the same frustrations when I started and that was because I didn’t know how to draw at all.

tears form in the tear duct so id recommend starting the tears there then have them follow the rim of the eyelid and then fall down.

I've had friends say kitra and others say Fire alpaca and one said clip studio paint

Unironically Pencil, or Krita, if your a poorfag, Pencil2D is free and its like the MS Paint of animation, not as complex as Krita, but your still able to get good mileage out of it.
