Other than the ones posted on the OP, what's a good lightweight animation program to use. I'm trudging through with PaintTool.sai but can't stand the feel of other programs' stabilizers.

[Anonymous No.6442210]

>>6440579
>stabilizers
not trying to sound like a crab but it's probably best to try your best without them, or you could just get Lazy Nezumi. drawing without a stabilizer gives you a lot of freedom and you don't get too reliant on a specific "feel" as you draw.
again, not to be a crab and all but it's definitely better overall

[Anonymous No.6442267]

How do I do this?

[Anonymous No.6444615]

I've been doing some animations in Procreate on my ipad, in general I feel very comfy drawing stuff in bed. I've however hit a dead end with Procreate now, as being unable to import audio and sync an animation to it is a dealbreaker for how I want to proceed.

I've tried Clip Studio Paint but I don't love how it's subscription only on ipad and I generally just don't like its UI, and ipad seems to have literally no other alternatives than CSP and Procreate for animating.

So here's what I would like to ask.
>Has any of you ever used Astropad Lunadisplay (or similar) to connect your iPad to your PC screen, and is this a viable way to use art programs?
>Is Adobe Animate as easy to work in now as it was when I used to fuck around in Flash 15 years ago?

i finished watching made in abyss as well
despite some really cool layouts and cute bits of character acting the sakuga wasn't that outstanding
definitely a good watch but not for the faint of heart
you get attached to these moe head characters and boom
her arm is poisoned and swollen to twice its size
and the companion has to amputate it in a gruesome detail
its a great story but the animation is super conventional
def watch it for the world-building and layouts if you lean that way

[Anonymous No.6469809]

>>6468804
If you're doing traditional a lot will come down to how you shoot it. This was something I messed around with while reading the animators survival guide. It's 21 unique frames played at 6 frames per second just to give you an idea. I'd say start with like 8 frames if you're doing pose to pose and fill in some tweens if that's not enough. But as a noob maybe just straight ahead feel it out

can't quite put my finger on it but it feels like she goes off-model for the last few frames

[Anonymous No.6471248]

>>6470632
the eyebrows arent in sync with the eyes hence the delayed action feeling

[Anonymous No.6471268]

>>6470632
refine the chin placement it follows a rigid pathing make it follow some sort of smooth arch it'll look more natural that way
the bangs have a nice delayed action to them good job : D
also i'd suggest drawing the ears as well even if they're just place-holders cause they'll help keep the head shap from warping with each succesive frame
hold the looking at camera frame for longer before transitioning into the forward leaning motion also make the head a bit farther back in that frame or push it slightly forward in the final pose cuz if you're leaning forward you bend forward slightly rather than rotation forward while being stuck in the same location
also do the eyes completely open first and add the blink after you've smoothened the movement
i get the vibe you're going for but i think you over-stepped in that bit
as is anime eyes are already notoriously difficult to place properly since their orientation depends on the camera angle rather than some defined points in space

you have long way to grow young grass-hopper

[Anonymous No.6488815]

I'm looking at trying out stop-motion and thus am looking at what supplies I'll need, but I'm having trouble understanding how magnetic tiedown works. Do you attach the magnets to the puppet's feet, which are then attracted to the metal floor - but then why do you need space under the stage? Or do you have magnets in the puppet's feet and under the floor - but then why do you need a metal floor?

A metal floor will allow your magnets to work better. I haven't used magnets but I did use a grated metal sheet where we would bolt down the puppet's feet. Your priority should be securing the puppet in place by any means necessary In my opinion it's a matter of preference. The free space bellow is so you can set the puppet in place properly from under the stage.

How hard would it be to hand animate a 4 second loop of the Alizee dance? How many frames per second should I go for?

[Anonymous No.6491950]

>>6491351
The first several frames should look like a ball (yours appears out of nowhere at speed)
Try having fewer frames and less squash when it impacts the ground
It should not slow out from the bounce, so try removing a few frames after the impact
You have blank frames, which is causing blinking; clean it up
As the ball approaches its apex, it should slow down because of gravity, so add more frames. At the top of its bounce it should become its roundest

Thank you for supplying us with the gif
How are we supposed to know how much effort this is for you?
We don't know who you are, we don't know your background.
How many frames per second, well are you on 30fps or 24fps?
Well, either way animate on 2s or 3s.
The motion is somewhat simple it can be simplified to a wave (not saying this is simple).
It seems doable though.

I think you lack confidence in it though, else you wouldn't ask here...
You could've just done it without consulting this thread.
You already had a plan of some sort.

only the last frame squashs now
>It should not slow out from the bounce, so try removing a few frames after the impact
i tried to make it "raise faster"
>You have blank frames, which is causing blinking; clean it up
i removed them now it's a full loop
>As the ball approaches its apex, it should slow down because of gravity, so add more frames. At the top of its bounce it should become its roundest
i don't think i made it "rounder" but i tried to make it slow down when it reaches the top.
i also added some minor stuff like frame number and a "ruler" to count the distance per frame. i hope this one is better although I'll move on to challenge 2 now

Better, but your spacing still looks off a bit
Also since your animation starts on the ground, consider adding some anticipation so it doesn't look like the ball is just floating up

coders are getting culled long before animators, and lets be real, animation requires way too much control for Ai to probably ever be reliable to use (especially after they get cucked out of their training data in the future). if you're actually a good animator that can get hired for doing animatics / key / breakdown frames or directorial positions, the jobs won't disappear. in-betweeners, colourists and clean-up artists will either have their job drastically downsized or taken out entirely.

there's already so little actually good 2d animated content that gets released every year, just due to the time it takes to produce. there's the very real possibility of a boom / second golden age in animation just from the speed of production we would get. i can imagine a lot of feature length, traditionally animated 2D films (not the shitty fake 2d that always takes its place)

also Ai actually understanding complex movement enough to replicate laws of physics consistently in an appealing manner, enough to compete with what humans have achieved in the past.. i don't see it happening desu, not for 10+ years at least.
