First part where she turns her head is amazing. Her reaction is also really good, though the second arm settles too quickly (or comes up too high for that timing). The ending is more shaky, her body doesn't sway enough for swinging a sword around, and I feel there should be a bit more anticipation when it's above her head and more cushioning when it comes down. I assume the effects are placeholders.

[Anonymous No.4950745]

I don't feel any recoil at all from the shot. if you move it back it has more impact. I'm not sure what the first move is meant to be.. also try to keep the the point where the legs touch the ground in the same place. nice mech design though

This looks much better.

[Anonymous No.4955744]

>>4955554
I believe the first motion is the mech steadying itself, planting its feet in the ground so it doesn't fall over when it shoots. If anything I'd make the planting frames last a bit longer as well to emphasize the weight of the machine firing.

Been working on some fan animation after watching Panty & Stocky with Garterbelt.
It's crazy that I've somehow got away with not watching this over all these years.

I used Adobe Animate, using a combination of symbols and frame by frame animation.
Still technically WIP. I haven't finished cleaning up everything, but I think it's presentable. :P

Pretty cool, are you making a game?

Only major issue is her face looks pretty weird in profile, her nose is super small and her eye is super close to the side of her face so I honestly wasn't sure if it was a 3/4 or not. And it if IS, I'd say moving her fringe so it reveals more of her face.

[Anonymous No.4959200]

>>4959176
Thanks :)
Nah, just some mock animation that would probably work for a game, but no plans to actually make one, desu. ^_^;;;

The show has this stylized look for their profile.. so I tried to emulate its look, but maybe it just came off confusing.

Good news is that the show's art style is pretty malleable, so hopefully I can find a good middle ground that maintains the style's overall feel.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

The rigs look great, but you gotta watch out for jittering. I noticed in the first gif you posted, the animation is technically correct, but there's a lot of areas where the spacing is super messed up. The tilt of the gun suddenly popping into place, the elbow "sticking" for a frame or two, the bracelets on the close arm, the entire torso jitters backwards and forwards on the up of the walk, and the entire head jitters around with the way you skewed and rotated it.
Since you have the animation pretty much mostly down, now you can go back through the all of the rig's symbols and check every layer to see how each individual piece moves independently. Turn on the onion skin and keep an eye on your arcs. Pay close attention to the spacing between multiple frames so that the lines don't accidentally "stick" or jitter around.
You should also play around with the overlapping motion for the hair as well. The up and down motion is synced up with everything else. Try to have the hair trail behind the up and down motion of the body. Keep the actual symbol's placement the same, but use the skewing tool to delay the ends of the hair tufts. It will naturally make arc that plus the animation.
Also copy the entire keyframe stack for the first frame of the walkcycle, and then place it at the end. That will make it wayyyy easier to make sure your walkcycle loops seamlessly.

Yeah, it's incredible. They make some dumb feature and then try to force you to use it. I think in CS3 or CS5 it was the same for the brush tool, it would alternate between the regular brush and some weird symbol brush.
I did some research and in Animate 2020 they've made it so you actually can remove things from the toolbar, so as of the current version it's fixed! I still have to use Animate 2019 for work so I'm out of luck, but if you're able to upgrade then it can be changed

>>4961854
Well the better your drawing skills the better you can be at animation. You can still try it out though, look up a tutorial on how to do a swinging pendulum, then a bouncing ball, then a flour sack, etc. Same as with drawing, you start simple and get more complex as you learn.

[Anonymous No.4961861]

>>4961857
Maybe I'll try somethimg again soon, all i did was the bouncing ball like a pleb
Also people tend to say that animating has you learn to draw faster. Anyone think thats true?

[Anonymous No.4961886]

>>4961861
It's certainly faster to get something down, but to finish it still takes a looong time. You do the entire thing as rough gestures which should be done quickly to keep the energy, but then when that's done you have to draw the frames in-between and refine them and refine them and refine them.

these are the thumbnails. I figured it'd be easier to thumbnail the animation as inbetweening instead of trying to figure it out separate from eachother.
I'll actually fully reanimate something when the actual show comes out, and something they actually put effort into instead of two-drawing Pinky over there.

[Anonymous No.4962958]

Hey guys, this is my first animation. A little eye that I did in Opentoonz last night, just figured out how to render it out into gif today.

I haver a question about onion skins and layers. Any answer would be really appreciated.

On Onion Skins: It seems that it will only show me about 6 skins back, even when i select all of the frames manually, is there a way to make opentoonz show all skins at all times? (I want to animate a ball bouncing on a ledge, but by the time my ball gets to the ledge, I cant see the ledge anymore because the onion skin for it is gone.)

And on layers. I want to animate over an imported image, I tried a bunch of stuff but cant make it stay in the background, and it seems like I have to re upload it to every frame, which is just brutally time wasting, anyone know how to do this?

Any answer would be great!

[Anonymous No.4965065]

>>4952901
Oh hey Mayde.

[Anonymous No.4965069]

>>4960139
Hi! I actually animated on this. Guz and Terkoiz were responsible for the storyboarding and they're absolute beasts and honestly are responsible for how it turned out. My advice though is to always use reference, always. Not rotoscoping, but find references or record your own and go frame by frame to find the key poses of the motion and use your fundamentals to fill in the spacing. The timing doesn't have to be exact, as an animator your job is to communicate, never be afraid to mess with the timing and exaggerate things. Personally speaking, what's the most useful is understanding where kenetic energy goes when performing a motion. For example, when you perform a punch, you have to build up that energy using the wind up and for the swing you exhort that force in an arc until it runs out. Always always always focus on the wind up and the follow through, the impact is actually not that important when it comes to communicating a convincing blow. Hope that helps!

Does it start to come naturally after a lot of animating like normal still drawing?

[Anonymous No.4967576]

>>4967570
Animation probably needs reference more than any other art form. While you can learn the muscles of the forearm and draw them from memory, you can't really learn how someone sits in a chair because everyone sits in a chair differently. You will get better at animating and won't have to think about the fundamentals so much, but to make something truly lifelike it's always better to observe how it actually moves.

[Anonymous No.4967664]

Well actually a person walking is one of the fundamentals, there ARE rules for that. Once you learn the basics though, then it's good to have reference so different characters will walk in different ways.

Yeah this
Right now, the animation lacks impact
Personally what I would do is combine the action of the arm going up into a single arc, hold the arm at the Apex to build "energy" and then snap into the impact

The static shoulder completely destroys any sense of acting you wanted to show with this. Also the equal timing is a bit annoying. Try not to make sure all of the actions in an animation don't follow a "beat" unless there's already a story rhythm established. It also helps make the animation look a lot more unique and dynamic when you time out individual things differently.

The youtuber doesn't go over the 3D required to get good looking scenes. From what I've read, the optimal animation workflow is

1) CSP (genga style)
2) export to Opentoonz for automated colouring depending on the genga style outlines
3) Model backgrounds in program of choice. Cinema4D is in AE and is commonly used in animation and its strength is integration with plugins like Houdini and xparticles. However idk how aftereffects works with c4d. c4d's default renderer sucks balls compared to Octane
4) Composite in AE
I've also heard that After Effects isn't considered a serious program at all and that Nuke is way better, but Nuke is dangerous to install because of the Foundry's insane trigger happy approach to piracy and idk how good it is for anime even.

that's just misinformation now, because they upped the wages for all the freelance artists and animators in recent months. now they're funneling more into paying their artists and animators well.

>>4988360
>from story boarding all the way to cleanup
damn what are people telling you? that's just blatantly false lmao
You're given a clear storyboard for visual reference and an animatic to follow for timing reference, and since the artstyle is really simple, most of the time you can jump straight into final linework without roughing it out and it comes out perfectly fine.
doing 2 minutes of stick figures on 2s and 3s doesn't equate to the same effort that you would spend if you worked for hours on every single frame in an illustration-heavy animation job. the workflow is flexible, and the time you spend worrying about drawing can be spent worrying about how to push the animation instead. it does get difficult at times, but it's animation and it is what it is.
ive personally been pretty comfortable working with them because my rent is cheap and i barely cost anything to exist. i also just REALLY fucking love animating

I spent around 4-5 days animating it, including scanning and compiling it into a movie. If you were somebody who was more experienced with traditional art and had a peg bar on hand you would probably be able to get it done much quicker. Altogether it was about 240 seperate drawings, some of them took 5 minutes, others took 5 seconds.
Exposure sheet took a couple of hours since you’ve got to pretty much visualise the entire thing in your head and write down each frame.

Pencil2d is good for beginners if you just want to open the app and just start animating, the UI is very simple and you'll have it down within an hour of opening it. I haven't tried Opentoonz, but from what I've read on other forums it has a bit of a steeper learn curve, but can yield great results. Parts of Miyazaki films were animated in Opentoonz, so just by that you can see it has a decent pedigree.

the thing is that what im doing is not industry work and my actions aren't to be held up as an example of an animator working in the industry. im animating for a youtube channel and that's pretty much it. i just personally don't need to earn that much to exist and im pretty content with what i have right now. i agreed on the rate that they gave me and i can always negotiate a raise if my living condition changes. having a paycheck is better than having nothing to me, especially when you've not had much professional animation experience. i knew that i wasn't gonna be making $5k a month the moment i started seeking out professional gigs, but it's a good thing to work up to.

now if i was living in LA and trying to get by with professional animation work, that would be completely different because of how TV animation is handled behind the scenes. since im just some grugg in the middle of the woods where there's no jobs, making good money doing animation in my bedroom is really fulfilling.

If pencilmation pays artists around $2,000.00 a month, that's around 2.4 million dollars a year with 100 freelancers. If they pay let's say $5,000.00 a month to full time employees, that's 3 million dollars a year with 50 employees.

>>4993206
>around $2,000.00 a month
>$5,000.00 a month to full time employees
when i was working freelance with them, i was getting paid per-project. so the numbers you're throwing around don't make any sense. the numbers would imply every single freelance animator and artist contributes an entire animated short once a month, which is never the case. an episode usually stays in the production pipeline for months until it's finally wrapped up.
as far as i know, none of the fulltime production staff is making $5k a month either, so that doesn't make any sense. it's a pretty solid gig when you think about other youtube animation jobs out there. i was working for $750 a MONTH at another youtube animation job before i got approached by Pencilmation

also don't get your numbers from Socialblade or any related sites, because they astronomically exaggerate the numbers for no reason. they most likely make WAY less than what you've come up with.

>>4994769
usually there's a basic storyboard, a layout, and timing reference. their entire production pipeline is completely different than a regular western animation studio, since they have a whole different "language" during layouts and storyboards. it's generally not wise to let the animator decide things like that unless they already have a strong reputation in the industry. the boards are probably as basic as boards can get, since most of the anime industry is about saving time and cutting corners. it's entirely up to the animator to draw on model and plus the boards.

Hey guys I hope you can help me find a certain guide that explained a framing concept. It's a storyboard with blue and pink figures showing how to not to go from action A to action B in each shot, but that something should go between them to provide context. Like a shot of a character raising their fist shouldn't directly go into a shot of the fist already thrown and hitting someone, the guide would tell you to pan to the second shot with the victim not punched yet, then animate the fist being thrown. It was about how to link shots together to make movements more readable and flow better. It's not 'in-betweens', tweening or smear frames, I think it might be called 'lead-ins'? If someone can tell me what the concept is really called that would be great, search engines are so shit these days.

Hey guys I made my first Flash animation.

Its a little rough but what do you guys think?

Good job. The pelvis needs Up and Down though, it shouldn't stay in the same spot. Up during pass position, Down during squash.

Relatively new to art and only animating I did was with Flash as a kid.
Blender looks like it might be the way to go, however I'm not so sure how beginner friendly it is or how many learning resources there are out there for the 2D side of things.
I intend to improve my art skills and the most fun "learn by doing" method seems to be animating as a burst of inspiration can last over a project with hundreds of frames instead of a single image.

Is there some ideal software for a total /beg/ to get started with?

There is a massive amount of Blender training on Youtube. The best guy I'm aware for absolute beginners is Blender Guru.

Blender and a drawing app of your choice is the best way to go. Keep in mind basic drawing alone can take up all of your time, and Blender could take a year of study and practice to master.

Is this with regards to 2D animations? I only see 3D stuff on that guys channel, however I am interested in using it primarily for 2D animations(I have used blender to make some basic 3D models in the past however)

Krita at least for me is alot less prone to crashing if you don't have enough memory on your pc. Blender tends to do this even when 2d animating. But it's exceptional for compositing/video editing/some audio mixing.

[Anonymous No.5001448]

>>5000966
not him, but a lot of the stuff that blender guru teaches in his beginner tutorial is applicable to the 2d side of blender too
I didn't even finish the whole thing, but I learned a lot of valuable stuff from it.

>CSP winning over TVPaint
i mean TVPaint was WAY better as an animation software. CSP barely works decent enough for large-scale animation work

[Anonymous No.5002406]

>>5002288
It's also way more expensive.

[Anonymous No.5002428]

Is this CSP now or like couple of months ago? I hear it improved recently

>expensive
worth the investment if you have the budget for it. you're paying for the car that takes you to and from work. the cheaper the car, the less reliable it will be in the long run
>>5002428
i own both, and the animation tools in TVPaint like the onion skin and the lightbox shifting functions definitely win over CSP. it's not wise to animate with software that's designed for illustration, it's better to have tools that benefit animation.

i just kinda hate the whole USB key thing, but if my car needs a key i wont complain about it

lol @ Toon Boom being in last place in their own poll

As much as I love CSP for drawing, it's really not the best for animating. It's great for short scenes but I'd never make an entire cartoon in it; using layers for frames is always an annoying way to work. Flash/Animate still has the best interface by far, if only the drawing tools weren't garbage.

Camera and perspective of distance is odd. Figure in the back of the cowman looks way to far behind tp het hit by that tiny axe. Also if you're gonna pull of that zoom in the arrow guy needs to become a lot larger as he exits the frame, instead he looks like he deified the laws of friction, and if thats the case the bullman and the guy should be shrunk to seem further away then amplified to what you have now as you zoom in.

I wish I could but I can't get over how annoying it is to duplicate frames. Also I jave no idea how symbols/camera tweening works in csp. Flash is really simple and powrful in that respect

Toonboom harmony is the best imo. The peg system is so useful. I suspect CSP is so popular with nips because they are being patriotic

Learning Maya for college is killing me. It’s bad enough having to work around it’s complexity in order to make anything, but finding an error from out of nowhere and having to go back several steps to try and figure out what went wrong is heartbreaking.

I have actually developed anxiety since I started working with it. I wake up to panic attacks that I never used to before. Flash and Toon Boom never did this to me.

Do any of you 3D anons know this pain?

[Anonymous No.5009837]

I have been watching a lot of videos of Maya from courses (Flipped Normals, Elementza) and they tend to go over the most common issues that tend to happen, for example not wiping history etc

How thoroughly do you guys key your animations before you start the inbetweening stage with graph editor (if you even use it at all)?
