These look really cute! Of the basic programs you linked what do you actually recommend for someone to animate? I've done very few animations in the past using Gimp and Sai (with Sai Animation Assistant), so I'm looking for a game-changer. Synfig, from experience, is not going to do that. What about the others?

the ones i posted were made in TV Paint ver 10
there a link to a cracked version in one of the older threads i think
dig it up if you so wish use archive.moe and use the master link posts
but if you're just starting out and wanna learn the basics watch the 12 principles of animation on YT and then use something lightweight like motorpen

What is a keyframe

File: Q2KE6.webm (603 KB, 512x512)

603 KB WEBM

>>7310940
A drawing which can't be an in between.
Rather lemme put it like this: if a character moves from one pose to another, the key poses are the ones that guide the inbetween artist to fill in the gap.
Say a ball bounces onces and comes to rest then the initial start pose, the contact with ground pose, the highest point of the bounce and resting pose are keys
If we didn't draw the contact pose key or the highest point key the inbetween artist might not realise it's a bounce and add inbetween s in a straight line from initial to resting pose which will look like the ball is floating

Tldr a key pose is the point at which the subject changes its direction of motion completely

File: 24 vs 12.gif (181 KB, 720x360)

181 KB GIF

>>7310940
each keyframe is a new drawing
in the example, the ball on the left is at 24fps, meaning it has been drawn 24 times per second, that's 24 keyframes
the one on the right is at 12fps, meaning it has 12 keyframes. the reason it's the same length as the animation on the left is because each keyframe is held for the duration of two frames. this keeps them lined up, but is noticably less smooth
typically you want to animate on twos, which means each keyframe is held for two frames, but it's good to be flexible with it

anon you decribed frame rate and the difference between drawing on one's (24 fps) and drawing on two's (12fps)
please donot confuse newfags like this

every individual drawing is not a key frames
few of them are Key frames the rest are Inbetween(frame)s
there's also Breakdown frames but those are used in more complex motions/cycles

if u truly aspire for anime industry standard then better start brushing up your fundies
drawing ability is like a muscle
if you dont give it a regular workout it will waste away
use sites like quickposes to practice a varied set of poses and a general shape of the human form
once you get a rough feel for it after a month or two of practice only then pick up an anatomy book to refine your self
use one of the many books linked in the link dump post
i can vouch for therom of poses but its more posing less anatomy knowledge use bridgeman's book for more autistic detail
it'll expand your mental library for poses and anatomy
noone pops out the womb with an innate memory bank of anatomy/posing

for animation itself go to sakuga booru
pick out an artist/anime you like
and then autistically study how they animate their stuff
stuff like key poses(anatomy/weight), smear frames(optimized frame pacing/timing) and most importantly composition (synergy of BG, Camera motion and placement of effects)

there tonnes of tips and tricks but i highly reccomend the Animator's Survival Kit
first just read the pdf then watch the video course (theyre both in the link dump)

>>7313446
its a case comparing apples and oranges here
they're two different types of animator's whose work lays in completely different genres
anime is more minmaxxed like a glass canon where the impact is saved for the sakuga money shots
meanwhile the disney style is more evenly paced and of higher benchmark in quality on average

like take any of Baxter's shots from Spirit or the Hunchback of Notre Dam
you can't in any fairness call him an inferior animator
he was simply applied to animation process differently than Chris Yen
the tempo and rhythm of their animation is completely different there's just no fair comparision

If anything I would say that the lack of technology made him what he is. No 3d models to trace, no computer to make layers easy, no easy erasing/remaking/transforming. Just rawdogging that bitch paper with a pencil.

Thanks for posting that video. It was another example of his I was looking for.
The way the frill not only stays in model but also squeezes and expands IN PERSPECTIVE WHILE IT ROTATES is just a huge mog.
Seeing all those muh sakugafags cumming over exploding cubes while real skill like his gets forgotten pisses me off.
Wish there was a way to contact him.

>>7313877
>stuff like key poses(anatomy/weight), smear frames(optimized frame pacing/timing) and most importantly composition (synergy of BG, Camera motion and placement of effects)
thank you for all of your sage advice fren. Are you a professional animator? Do you do shots for anime and stuff and just dump this cute character as a throwaway animation for this board? Everything you post seems so effortless I imagine your skill level is much much higher than what we see here

Is doing that kind of quick animation good practice? How long does something like that take you, like 10 mins?

Also, I feel like animation is literally 90% key poses, then just timing / spacing the inbetweens properly. The hardest part is in choreographing the action, but I'm not sure, tell me if I"m wrong

I hate puppet animation so much.

It depends on who you ask, since there's actually two different sets of animation terminology being used today: Western and Japanese. Which leads to confusion with people getting definitions from one or the other mixed up.

First is the Western terminology, which is where the English phrase "key animation" originates from. Traditionally in Western animation, an animation is split up into Keys, Breakdowns, and In-betweens.

A Key, also known as an Extreme, is the start and end of an action.

A Breakdown is any drawing besides the keys which defines the movement.

An in-between is anything, well, in-between the Keys and Breakdowns.

Here's another way to put it: Keys and Breakdowns are any drawings that can't be defined with a time-chart. Likewise, in-betweens are any drawings that only require a time-chart to fill-in.

In the Japanese animation industry, you just have two kinds of drawings: Genga (原画) and Douga (動画). "Genga" refers to both Keys and Breakdowns. Japanese animators don't really distinguish between the two. BUT, genga is usually translated to "key animation" in English, which is where the confusion comes from.

Douga, as you can probably guess, refers to in-betweens.

>>7311187
>>7314115

oops sorry, I meant to reply to the original question >>7310940

I think the definition you give is becoming the more common one anyways, but I thought I'd give some context.

his work is the epitome of complete technical mastery of a medium
while i don't wanna malign sakuga, it's from a more reserved school of thinking
that's a given i suppose since one is describing moie animation while the other is produced for serialized animation that works on a tighter budget
rather than splurging manpower on making every motion/movement grounded and realistic, it leans more heavily on using abstracts to exaggerate the motion/movement

its like trying to compare to completely diferent weight-class of MMA fighters
Either is the Epitome of their respective field's limits and strengths

What really impresses me about sakuga is that it squeezes so much out of so little that it's astonishing
the compositing/coloring team and the camera/photography directors are the real unsung heroes of sakuga imo
they take this beautiful genga an animator creates and elevate even further its marvellous

amen brother it's the plastic to animation's glass

but silly moe blobs are just plain fun to draw

i don't use csp to animate so I don't know it works the same as krita or photoshop but basically you want to have a new drawing for every 2 frames so when you draw a frame leave a gap then add a new after that gap the program should automatically add a hold frame for you

also use 24 or 15fps like that other anon said

While I have worked at a studio that uses a JP pipeline you shouldn't treat my work as necessarily representative of common JP methods, what I do do is a mishmash of ideas that works for me.
>are they to be drawn on a seperate layer?
In JP anime they are typically done on physical animation paper which by necessity would be one layer, when importing the drawing to digital I think it depends on the studio and software, same with animation done fully digitally. My personal process has them done on the same layer for the sketchy rough figuring it out as I go phase that I posted there but refined cleaned up version has them on different layers.
>do the specific colored line have different meaning?
For me red means highlight, blue shadow. green and purple a change in colour not related to lighting (for example his facial scars will be a different shade from his skin tone). JP studios might not use the exact same colours every time but have a similar idea, blue and red being used for shade and highlight is very common.
>anyone here got a explanation/guide i could reference?

Can someone give me advice where I should start when I want to get into animation as someone who is an intermediate skill wise? Like should start with the absolute basics or should I jump ahead?

>>7325285
start with the basics to get a feel of the principles and how to apply them you don't have to linger on it though just do them then start trying to consciously apply them in your personal stuff

>>7325304
Thanks anon, that's probably the best way to start

>>7325417
Unless the camera is looking up at her, why does she shrinks when she jumps into the air?
Did the jumping up images get zoomed out or did you intend for it to be that way?

Also add a slight overshoot and settle to the extreme poses of the cheering cycle it feels a bit stiff
Also consider using a smear frame for the inbetween of the cheering cycle

The key drawing themselves are nicely proportioned well done

it was a ballsy decision to pick an assymetric costume
it's a pain in the ass to do right even for seasoned animators
you did well keeping it as consistent as you did, good job : D

The chin was too sharp, the overlaping strokes made the tip look extra pointy, so i rounded it out a bit on most frames
The overshoot i felt didn't go far enough so i added another overshoot frame and two in-betweens to smooth it over, also added slight secondary motion to the boobs
The trick with overshoot is to draw what you feel is appropriate and then exaggerate it a bit more
It might look off initially but it works out in motion
The air time frames felt stiff so i added an inbetween there too
Also i changed the exposure for some frames, held the static grounded poses for 3's and the smear/overshoot frames for 2's, and some of the air time frames for 4's

Was this an animation study or did you make it yourself?

woah, thanks a lot for doing those corrections!!
i especially see what you mean with the overshoots now.
it's really clear how much more i could've done
i still feel like i got a lot to learn in regards to proper animation timing.


the design is from a vtuber but the movements were all from imagination.

Hello!
I am looking for free alternatives to Live2d and Spine2d.
I have heard that you can get a similar functionality out of Blender(!?) of all things.
Is it true? Something about called Blender Grease pencil or something like that.
The problem I see is that the vids I saw showed people drawing their images from start over there.
And I was looking more into functionality where I could import my image from photoshop or Clip studio and then attach bones(?) to it and animate it.
In general, what I want to do for starters is to learn how can I make something as simple as chest expanding and shrinking on inhale/exhale.

>>7330598
i remember there being a free chinese knockoff of spine called dragonbones, but haven't checked on it in a few years. there was an addon for blender a long time ago called coatools, but i think it was abandoned years ago.
ieira used blender for those masterpiece gifs. he made a tutorial video back in the day, might still be out there somewhere. iirc he imported a layered painting onto alpha textured planes, then cut up the planes with the knife tool and animated those meshes with shape keys.
grease pencil can be animated with bones, but the rigging is total shit because you can't use an intermediary mesh. it might get better in the (distant) future after the refactor in blender 4.3, but don't hold your breath because blender devs are retarded.
you should just pirate live2d or moho desu senpai

>>7330598
I'll preface this by saying I'm a /beg/ who wants to do mesh deform animation in the future, but hasn't done much yet.
Blender can definitely be used for this, even without grease pencil. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChqSqDGCTRA where he exports from Krita.
There was also a /3/ anon that used Maya to do something similar without access to the original psd/layers https://warosu.org/3/thread/987398
Like >>7331861 said dragonbones is free, but it's bug ware and end of life so I haven't tried it.
AnimeEffects is another choice. It's free but incredibly bare bones. It doesn't have support for elongating bones or making calculations between bones. However, if you just want to play around without learning blender's UI it's fun.

>>7330598
inochi creator, dragonbones is dead but there's a functional build out there. Opentoonz has a plastic tool and you can do something similar but a little bit more cumbersome.

That looks good, I think you can take it to the next level by adding some squash and stretch to its sharp turns and maybe removing some intermediary frames between those turns to make the turns snappier.

really sick of avatarfaggots

>>7333786
That's really fucking good, I think if you're trying to sell a jump off a street bump or ramp you need to exaggerate the bike coming off the ground. At least that's what I'm assuming you're trying to do based off the timing and camera pan.

>>7333791

Your timing is bad. You need to learn what frames you can omit. Think about it. Let's say you had a camera that takes 12 pictures a second. If you press that button when an F1 car is racing past you, it'll most likely only get a couple frames worth. Conversely, someone walking past you will be in every frame. With the concept of timing you keep this principle in mind. If you want your punches to be snappy and more impactful, your beginning and end will be the longest parts of the animation, the punch itself will only be a couple frames long. Since you drew every frame here, the punch looks like it's in slow motion.

>>7336858
The beginning and end of your actions are also known as keyframes. You establish those, and then depending on what the action is, you create your tweens keeping timing in mind.

>>7335511
I got lazy on the body shift but I’ll keep this in mind

Used some 3d models and some various Blender tricks to hide the fact they were 3d (outside the background). Still not quite sold on this workflow. I feel like my drawings would have looked a lot better, but certain aspects of the workload were quite a bit easier.

>>7354160
Well, I should say that it's a hybrid style that used 2d and 3d animation. Maybe it would work better for more than a 1 off test animation as you'd be able to reuse character assets for consistency.

Danke, hard to tell because I started it ages back and only just got around to polishing but I reckon about 10 hours all up, most of which was cleaning up the lines.
For walk cycles there's this handy diagram that I worked from. Tough/aggressive characters tend to have more bounce/swing in their head and shoulders and less in their hips, while austere/civilised characters have the opposite, and don't forget to swing the shoulders and hips (and by extension arms and legs) in opposite directions. Other than that it's just keyframes and tweens as usual. If you get stuck on a particular body part walk around acting like your character to get a feel for it.

Love it.
On the ground hit you may want to add a bit more squish and maybe 1 or 2 more frames just to feel that bag "compressing" on the floor for a moment. Still, the swing itself is very pleasing to the eye

>>7307756
Is it sensible to get into animation only after I get very confidently good at illustrations? I'm equally passionate about both. It's just that I heard getting into animation also helps with becoming a great illustrator, so the order is a bit confusing.

>>7359555
>illustration
...or do you mean Drawing?
Illustration and drawing ain't the same thing. An illustration is a "FINAL" visual product. That's its only function. So an illustrator can take advantage of any shortcut, resource or tool available to get that "one of" image. What I mean is that he could know jack shit about anatomy or perspective, and he could use all the right references and tools to pull it off. Illustrators are in charge of the backgrounds in example.
A draughtsman on the other hand, just draws, he doesn't loose time polishing images, coloring or "rendering", he knows exactly how things works, perspective, anatomy, volume, movement, etc. He KNOWS these fundamentals, he doesn't need too much reference to get the thing right quickly. He's suited to do animation, he will be in charge of the key frames.

>An illustration is a "FINAL" visual product. That's its only function. So an illustrator can take advantage of any shortcut, resource or tool available to get that "one of" image.
>A draughtsman on the other hand, just draws, he doesn't loose time polishing images, coloring or "rendering", he knows exactly how things works, perspective, anatomy, volume, movement, etc
I meant both of these.

very well done anon

>animated perspective shift
peak
some feedback i'd give is commit more frames to the mid-air turn around to pace the motion better
it is the money shot of the scene
Also zoom further into the character and make her like 90% of the screen for the turn around
atleast thats how anime usually do it cuz animated backgrounds are a pain in the ass to do right
good job was fun tinkering with you doodle

>>7359555
if you need the go ahead from a buncha anon's online you've already failed
jokes asides yes being good at illustrating will definitely help
but these things aren't mutually exclusive
doing 2d animation definitely accelerates your illustration gains

>>7359555
The core skill you need for good character animation is gesture, but that's the easiest to train, just do lots of gesture studies and draw from your shoulder. Check out Quickposes if you haven't already. Construction also helps a ton for keeping your forms consistent, since you want to plan out your animations' movements with balls and boxes. You don't necessarily have to "gitgud" at either, but getting the general hang of them will make your animation process go a lot smoother

>>7360052
Danke, simpler than it looks though. Just had to draw the front and left side accurately. Copy pasted them for the right side and rear, then the rest was just onionskins -- that's why the easing is uneven hehe

You ain't never lied. Your character reminds of Ockeroid.

Oh yea, I wasn't very original with the design, wanted something plain and simple. Something that wouldn't be too taxing to draw a gorillion frames of

Hex-based strategy game ala Final Fantasy Tactics. Found out my programming level's not high enough for that. Oh well, modding for me, then.

>trying to figure out a limited animation project that will still require some animation so I don't get rusty

Can't be as static as inu-sans, but it can't be so animated I get burnt out working on a solo project like Emperor Katuunu.

>>7361805
You could do the anime thing where most of it is highly limited but with a few key moments of high effort animation.

That's kinda the plan, the tough thing is coming up with a concept that plays well with that style. Finished my animation practice and have just been sitting back and thinking of a concept.
(Recently I had a bit of a come to Jesus moment, so the lewd stuff is out but man would that be the easiest. Sometimes you gotta fight the uphill battle tho)

continuation of this, just finished these roughs tonight, gotta do lipsync and cleanup tomorrow/ next weekend but im feeling pretty happy with it

>>7339064
thanks for the feedback!

Are there any good blogs or books that get into cheats for animation. An example being how a character can start talking and you may only animate them beginning the sentence then switch to the other characters face to save yourself the whole animated sentence

These kick ass, is this for a music video?

Things like that you pick up through experience, annoying answer I know. Analysing any decently animated tv/web series should get you the answers you need, and like you said animating "outside of the frame" is a good shortcut and most techniques like that are self-evident. That said I'm also interested if some industry cartoonist has put up a blog on shortcuts they use.
One thing that comes to mind is how Miyazaki used low framerates with good gesture earlier in his career https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SANfYqmNz6U

Thoughts on this?

anyone here with decent knowledge of toon boom? I accidentally deleted the default brush preset and I can't seem to get it back. Resetting all presets doesn't seem to help nor does importing brush presets even though I can see that the old brushes that were deleted are there

>>7354160
Man, I'm really not sure about this method. I keep going back and forth on its usefulness. Like, those were some quick made models and look kind goofy, but it is nice to not have to worry about perspective or keeping the proportions between frames consistent, still, I feel like it may be counterproductive and lose some life where you can just draw it right. I also wonder if the models won't make it a bit boring and also make you rusty as instead for drawing every frame you are more or less just working as a cleanup artist. Man I'm conflicted.

cleaned up and colored some fan art i did a couple months ago

most of the animation is referenced from code geass' op. the part where her head key spins and the part where she plays the violin were from imagination

I reckon a few carefully placed smear frames would make some of the movements flow a lot better, specifically the two closeup sweeps. Nitpick aside this is seriously impressive. How many days on polishing?

you're right about those frames, i definitely got lazy there lol. i think about 11 days polishing.
