is there a software for camera working?TV-paint's camera tool graph thing is hot garbagerendering the file and importing it into adobe Animated makes my entire PC lagIs there any third-party software to add camera pans/zooms to pre-rendered videos out there
Do you guys know which software for making animation like this? https://youtu.be/2DMGgiovzHY?list=PLCgEJy_Fw_HqVnKoHbbFvtsM1IrquSLeR
>>7374702that's Adobe AfterEffects the rigs were probably made in another softwarethe compositing/animation was definitely AEthis is less animation more motion graphics(yes there's a difference)
>>7374647i think you might be able to do it through davinci resolve, it's a free video editing program. I havent used it for that myself though. what i do is animate in tvpaint then import it into CSP because i like the CSP camera tool
>>7374299Hello anons of the animation thread generalDo you have any advice for someone looking to animate but all they have is trad materials? Too poor for digital. Besides materials, gimme the exercises that have served you best.I've got some sticky notes and I've been doing various ball related activities with them, but they're actually really hard to use because of how tiny and fragile they are.
>>7375069I'm not sure digital is actually more expensive than traditional.Aside from sticky notes to make flip books what specifically do you have access to? Do you have a computer? Do you have a smart phone?
>>7375097>I'm not sure digital is actually more expensive than traditional.I guess it's more proper to say too poor to afford a drawing tablet. I've definitely seen that trad has a lot more hurdles and expenses, but I've always drawn trad and it's what I naturally gravitated to before realizing that sticky notes would not cut it lol>Do you have a computer?I have an old laptop on windows XP. It runs pretty slowly with modern programs, but there are always older versions. >Do you have a smart phone?Yes
Going to be out of college with a BA by 2026, how is the job scene looking? Should I be learning any specific programs besides Harmony right now to better my chances? Would grad study be a smart idea?
>>7375230That is a very grim statement my guy. Well, then again, it just looks grim from where we are standing. Maybe some good stuff will come about because of TAG in the coming years, but as it stands, if you're doing animation, work on that portfolio, network, but just keep in mind you'll probably gonna have to be doing a lot of independent work and that the market is currently in a big drought.
>>7375108you'll need a cheapo plastic transparent drawing pad, a portable light bulb/torch, and one of those tables with a drawer under the drawing tablevoila ya got the ingredients for a rudimentary light table i used something similar back in highschoolmost animator's did it this way before techto compile n render there's a stop motion app for android that lets you take pictures n align them yourself might have to build a makeshift stand to get them consistently thoon paper/ink you'll have to experiment with what you have availablei used the cheapest thinnest paper for rough pencil stuff then sightly better paper with black ballpoint pens for cleaner rendersdepending on the light source i'd reccomend limiting work time to avoid damaging your eyesbest of luck anon god speed>>7375230have an impressive portfolio n you'll find workif not then you wont as simple as thatthe purpose of college isnt for your growth its to filter out the NGMI's from GMI's for the industrybe competitive n dont get complacent
was looking forward to grease pencil v3 in blender 4.3 but i'm going to have to stick with 4.2 because v3 is incomplete and breaks a bunch of addons and scripts i rely on and the two versions aren't cross compatible
BUMPIN
>>7375069build your own tools
>>7375238Wow, good long advice. I can definitely make the light table thing work. Thanks so much. >>7376155This one is a bit harder, but also great advice. I'll work towards making some tools. I've got an idea for a peg board. Thanks anons, now if you have any great exercises you'd recommend, please give them too. I've already read a few of the OP links and have started reading animator's survival guide (thank you for the links cat bird devil thing >>7375994 )
>>7376261Godspeed anon also remember to have funFun havers dominate over those that only work hardStick to the Animator's Survival Kit for nowread the pdf and download the video series too there's a lotta good info in there with seperate animated example videos for referenceThen you can branch out into whatever animation specialization you prefer be it character acting/effects/action/etcThere's plenty of resources here and they're not going anywhere don't download and hoard everything at onceTake what you need for now and get through it firstEven if any of the links go down I've got them all on my hard drive so worry not I'll make back upsthey'll always be accessible : DDD
>>7374901anon-san a puch shouldnt do a full stop after impactif the punch is impactful its motion must carry through in that direction before it is pulled backsplendid animation otherwise
>>7377433Thanks for the crit. I will admit it was totally because of laziness haha. I'll redo it and expand on it since it's the weekend.

will repetition and polishing make me better at walk cycles
>>7391125Study good walk cycles and copy them.
>>7391295funny you mention it someone in thread made this really good guide for me a while back figured id share the knowledge
Anyone here use Moho? I have some questions relating to vector line styles for a rig, if I want to try and replicate the look of a show's lineart as close to identical 1:1 as possible. I believe the show was originally drawn digitally, just obviously with a completely different flow/tools used.inb4>vectors are shitOf course flat default vector stroke rounded end-caps are shit. This is a question about adding effects to the linework so that it looks better than cheap vector shit you see pumped out on YouTube Kids.I know about "line boil" and while that's awesome, I think it changes the linework every frame and makes some of the line densities inconsistent.

The physics don't make sense in this one but it was fun
there's a lot of resources at the start of the thread, it's overwhelmingwhere do I start if I don't know know anything about animation concepts, but can draw alright?
How well can CSP be used to animate?
>>7396892start with a decent program and play with the ballz
>>7397060how well can you use a professional digital art an animation program to animate hmmm im not really sure about that one maybe consult reddit
>>7397060It's alright, although it's kind of jank compared to something like Harmony
>>7397100>compared to something like Harmonyso unusable dog shit?got it
>>7397165As someone who has used both I just think CSP doesn't exactly prioritize it's animation software. It's fine but incredibly difficult to navigate
>>7397206nice lmao
>>7397171>>7397165So then what are the alternatives? I use CSP and have used OpenToonz. OpenToonz crashes too much and CSP has felt fine but apparently there are programs that do what it does but better?
>>7397206love this hahaha
I've been doing some cheap animating for a bit and feel like my process is very damaged, and wonder if theres better software or a better way of doing things. idk any standards for doing this and this is what I've settled on doing having no prior knowledge>Draw/color every frame separately, reusing some assets from last frame only if it works>Import that file with all the frame layers to photoshop>Animation is me turning on/off the groups of layers to get each frame.>Create new frame, turn old layers off, turn next layers on, create new frame, so on
>>7398568that does seem like a clunky way to do it. when youre drawing and coloring it before, are you flipping between the frames, or are you treating it like a series of illustrations and only see the timing after importing to photoshop? unless it's very simple stuff like eye blinks i'd recommend doing the drawing part in something that will let you preview it in motion earlier. csp is better than photoshop for animating imo
>>7398588I flip between the frames while in the drawing software yep, it would be nice to get them to play in sequence as I go but I can get a sorta alright idea of how well it looks in motion just by turning them on/off as I work. Then yeah when I bring in the photoshop animation window I adjust their individual timings. I'll look into CSP's animating tools, I just used PS to finalize it all because it was what I had
>>7397206Shit man, that cool.
threads looking nice and active very nice : DDDD
>>7398659>i post about thread being active>it goes dormant instantly: (
>>7399936I'm trying to make my first ever animated work, I actually don't know how animation works, so I made two simple frames, any tips?
>>7398344I mean ToonBoom is pretty easily pirated, idk if this board/thread has a "no source talk" rule though
>>7400416Love it
>>7400373Its simple but is fine. As a beginner if you want, try making him bob both to the left and the right after he crouches down, like going in a V pattern.
>>7400659I did it senpai, do you think it goes too fast?
>>7401213Nice work on lax's face! And actually it might be sped alright, he looks like hes jamming with it which is why snorelax hates it so much
I feel like my old projects were too ambitious, I'm considering making a 2-3 minute animation since that seems more doable for me
>>7401710yeah its more doable for a solo projectif you're frugal with the art style you could even finish it in a month
>>7397060I feel like CSP is the best animation software if you know how to use it right. There are ways to remedy the jank of it.
>>7403796
krr-bump
First animation in toonboom with a rigI know it's bad but I couldn't get any parts to copy and paste so I had trouble adjusting anything, I still need to figure out the programhttps://litter.catbox.moe/50dse0.mp4
Is it possible to use Spine like Moho (cutscenes or longer animations) and vice versa (game asset)?I assume I have to get both because they have different features and purposes.
working on something thats taking me so long as a beginner because I only get like 1-2 frames done a day. love animating how it brings otherwise static drawings to life more but dam is it time consuming
>>7405158A fellow tittyboy I see

Are there any good shortcuts to make frames for parts that just rotate a bit while keeping their shape besides sucking it up and redrawing? For instance I want to make some locks of hair bounce or sway lightly, but any type of rotating or scaling in an art program would introduce some amount of visual degradation
>>7409806Bite the bullet and redraw, it's good practice either way. That said, if you use a vector-based program you can do a lot with the transform tool.I'd recc using the transform tool when doing your roughs, then cleaning up your lines on the second pass. It's easier to trace a sketch than draw from scratch
>>7405158>>7405915lovely. stuff like this is why i keep coming back to hand drawn 2d.every once in a while i'll spend weeks doing r&d in 3d so i'll never have to think about perspective or cleanup or ink & paint or keeping on model again, but stuff like sliding clothes, surface interaction and volume preservation is nearly impossible, and even when it does work it only does with physically-based rendering (no line art) and conventional interpolation (auto tweening).after i hit enough walls i'll put it aside and draw some tits bouncing in 5 frames that looks better than any 3dcg.hopefully someday ai will be able to do the cleanup & paint./blog
>>7409806look for the warp tool in whatever program you're using
>>7409841Luv me trad, 'ate me AI, but god damn this looks promising https://cadmium.app/Once it's a plugin you can slot into your program of choice I'm there
>>7409887Hm. I think there must be clear limitations if they only went with flats in the demo.
Hmm, yeah, just trying to use transforms comes out too jittery, I thinkThere's just no substitute for taking the time to finetune, I guess
>>7409887maybe I'm wrong but of all the things to automate this is the thing i least need it for. coloring with the paint bucket if you have clean-ish lines is so fast for me i barely consider it part of the process

How to export to .gif without fucking up colors?
Hi everybody, I'm a complete novice with animation. Most I've ever done was a classic balloon-flying-away-and-popping on sticky notes as a kid. I'm an alright illustrator though. How difficult would it be to make something like what the lofi girl youtube channel does? Just a person sitting in a room occasionally taking a sip of a drink and maybe typing, maybe a pet with a flicking tail + ear, with some alternating lighting. I imagine I can just draw up the room itself and then place the animated portions on top of it all right? Use the same background through every frame and just maneuver around it? How hard would this be for someone with okay experience drawing but no experience animating?
>>7409552Sorry for late reply. Hate 4chans new method to "log in" to post. Takes too long that I'll often say fuck it and leave.Downloaded the resources and looked up some examples. looks like one of my issues with my animation is that the smoke isn't expanding past the initial explosion. Its not rising. Working on that right now. thanks for the feedback.
>>7410450With anything new its going to take longer than someone who knows what they're doing. Call it the newbie tax where a 4hr job becomes a 6 or 8hr job because you don't know what you're doing.You have the right idea on how its set up. Read up on some animation books like 'Animators Survival Toolkit' to get the jist of some basic principles then start chipping away at what you want.
>>7410450If you're familiar with layers it should be fairly intuitive, you basically tell the animation program which layers to show on what frames
>>7410450Should be fairly straight-forward, everything would be loops; just a matter of intermittently switching from the main loop to a variation and back again. It might also help to separate elements of the picture into different loops so it doesn't look weirdly synchronised.
>>7409899All you really need is flats, just look at 99% of golden age animation.>>7409935Skewing rather than rotating the hair would probably suit that movement better. Free transform where you can move the four corners independently is also great but takes some practice. Of course you'd want to transform the whole chunk of the hair, then transform each curl but it's a time-saver for minor motion that isn't the centre of attention. After that doing the clean pass by hand will naturally make it look more organic.>>7410040For me it's an issue of having to slow down your lineart process to make sure every tiny gap is closed, then still having to switch to the brush tool because of a bunch of microscopic gaps that're only visible if you zoom in 5000%. The gap tolerance option is too much of a hassle because it doesn't fill in tight corners or narrow areas.It's not so bad for short loops, but it's mind-numbing if you're working on a longer project. I'd far prefer going looser with the lineart for a more expressive animation then colour a few key/smear frames and let the program fill in the rest.>>7410063Fuck yes!!! This is good!!!>>7410170Lower the colour profile and embrace the dither or use the web colour palette.>>7410450I'd recc doing a base sketch of the average pose and then doing your animation sketches over that. Maintains proportions and gives you a baseline to go back to when they're switching to another action.e.g. Base Pose -> Looks out window -> Base Pose -> Sips Coffee -> Base Pose etc.Also if you are a complete novice look into keyposing. You basically start with all the main poses, fill in the midpoints of the movements between them, fill in the midpoints of those, and keep going till it looks smooth.

Krita starts dropping fucking frames on playback whenever a file becomes too big and its pissing me off

>>7380531Hacked Flipaclip or RoughAnimator
>>7412718man I wish it had a timeline I'm doing alot in my head and just turning groups on and off
Is there any animation program out there besides photoshop that lets me add what I currently see in the window as a frame?
>>7413077Either prtscr and ctrl+v or Animate lets you select shapes/objects on multiple layers and paste them into a new layer, lest I'm misunderstanding you.
>>7412877>turn on previous frame's group>turn on next frame's group>set previous frame to 20% opacity>set next frame to 20% opacity>draw current frame>hide previous frame>hide current frame>turn on new next frame group>set new next frame group to 20% opacity>create new frame group for current frameversus>turn on onionskins>hit the , and . keys to cycle frames>hit f6 to make a new frameWhy are you doing this to yourself
>>7413093unfortunately my reasons range from autism, to "i just like it", to I don't like how krita/csp handle timelines and layers and layer groups
What I'm working on. Needs more frames or something.Going to work on her idle breathing animation next.
wip
>>7413771fucking SHIT
>>7412650ahhh i used to use sai like that when i first started animating many, many years ago
>>7413773Satisfying
>>7413773Kinda hot but her shoulders are way too broad
>>7414941anon who has walked my path, what is your wisdom
>>74098413D Nsfw animation also just looks weird to me unless it’s very stylized, but even then it can be a bit uncanny. Your typical 2D animation just has more soul! Not to diss on someone like RedMoa, but I prefer my porn in 2D
>>7415524not him but if you have to use sai I'd recommend using another program to rough out your animations (even animating with pencil would be faster) then import the frames to sai for cleanupas it stands you're turning what would be a week's work into a month's work and with something as time-consuming as animation you gotta take into account how many years you have till life expectancy
is there a "figure drawing for animators" book or course I can study?
>>7417213skill with figure drawing and gesture translate directly to animation. git gud at figure drawing and the rest explains itselfif you want a resource the animator survival guide is a good pick
>>7415524i'd do 4 to 6-frame loops, using layer opacity for onion skinning, then export each frame to make a image sequence, and then use an avisynth script to play the sequence in media player classic.had folders for each loop, and premade avisynth scripts for different frame rates that i'd copy into each folder.good times, good times...
>>7417213The closest I know.I think Vilppu has a course with similar subject matter, he used to teach animation students after all.

>>7418398too static and too slow
>>7418409thanks for the feedback anoni tried to confine the erractic motion to the flash framesi'll try expanding the flash screen and adding more wiggly thundermeanwhile here's a cute lil candle
>>7418409how about now ?
>>7418451the initial path is still too slow and static, and afterwards there's too much wiggling.This thing is suppose to ultra fast not continuous, UNLESS you are doing some kind of lightning spell cast or something.Here I just deleted half of your frames, try something like this yourself.
>>7418455well how bout this
>>7418468missed a frame
how much linear perspective knowledge I need to get into animation? do I really need to take a 16 week course of information...
>>7418470not the other anon but yeah its on the right track, it looks more realistic but I did like the stylized thunder3 one too. if I were to make lightning I'd probably just have a single frame of visible zap before the flash, then a bit of a lingering fading buzz in the air
>>7418585yes, maybedepends from a person to person basis reallybut cant hurt>>7418629heres a neat smoke ribbonnon-looping smoke is such a pain to get rightcame out looking decent i thinkthe low resolution prolly helps
>>7418051It makes more sense when you understand they aren't 'animated memes' they are memetic animation, rather than depicting existing memes the animation itself is the meme, the video inspires other people in that community to replicate it.So they'll reuse the music and the broad motions and theme of the animation.There are very likely several other videos of other OCs bouncing around in the same way to that music.
>>7418947>yes, maybe depends from a person to person basis really but cant hurtFuck I guess there is no other way. It's like 3 almost 4 months alone on my roadmap if I go at a normal pace and not kill myself in the process.
>>7419353Scratch that. I'm noticing my fav artists aren't using anything too complicated with linear perspective, it's mostly about the characters. Therefore a general book would do for now.
>>7408977CSP's timeline and playback are complete shit, would not recommend it at all - can't speak for Krita.Blender's Grease Pencil is one of my favorite of the free open-source animation softwares.
>>7419571i use krita and i both love and hate itits really simple and straightforward for frame by frame but it lacks shit like tweening implementation which can be useful for storyboarding and backgrounds. also might be a personal issue but playback lags like shit when the resolution gets too large, it just drops frames and is completely useless in that case. i usually do roughs in krita and then the final pass in blender with grease pencilgrease pencil has its own suite of issues but its free and mostly simple so fuck it
Grease Pencil is good, if you're already an experienced Blender user

>>7419788It's designed in a way that is somewhat similar to how an animator would work traditionally.Retas Studio which is by the same company is like that too, so the transition wasn't too hard for me..
>>7419792as someone used to sony vegas timelines with video editing it took adjusting. I really wish I could (or have yet to discover a means to) just drag each frame's borders to adjust how long it is, and pull elements from the layers into the timeline.
>>7419973Photoshop's is like that, I like it a lot better, but I really don't think it's $20/mo better.

>>7419571I've made some stuff with greasepencil and honestly it's the closest analogue to Flash, except it's easier to adjust and edit lines. Might switch back to it>>7419591I was pretty green at Blender when I learned greasepencil, worthikids made a great tutorial that breaks down everything
>>7420132Forgot to mention the only downside to greasepencil is it starts to chug when you're doing longer animations but the way it's set up makes it really easy to split things up into multiple files as you go along, it's good practice to separate shots anyway

>>7427402the main thing to know is if you want it animated, tun on the animation window and in that click"new animation folder". everything you want to change frames needs to go in that folder. things you want to keep static stay outside it. and you can make multiple animation folders to sort different moving elements easier.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F9eJjDkvtE

Anyone tried out Blender 2D for frame-by-frame animation?Can't wrangle my head around this software.
donot trust the goofy beast
>>7432953It's nice! Can you logically explain why you use 'blurry and grainy' strokes? Or is it purely an aesthetic and intuitive choice ?I haven’t looked into it deeply but I get the impression that the lack of 'hard edges' allows for a greater range of flexibility and 'brotherhood'.
>>7432171i've used grease pencil a lot, just sketching for myself.has the potential to be the best software for hand drawn animation -- the way brush strokes are sampled points like bitmap instead of bezier curves like vectors is novel -- but even after 10 years or however long they still haven't implemented a "blob brush" or a functional eraser tool that works with fills. idk how they've done so much development and gotten so much attention from the industry without fixing those basic functions.there was a big internal revamp in 4.3 that broke a lot of features and addons but didn't really implement anything useful for the end user who's just doing hand drawn, so 4.2's more usable for hand drawn right now imo.

Is there a way to sort or categorize multiple animation scenes in CSP's timeline? Like I'm going to have 4 camera cuts for 4 different scenes and each has its load of layers. Is it possible to separate each of them somehow, or is there no way to stop the timeline from being absolutely massive with the amount of animation folders of all 4 combined
>>7439865I put every shot in a separate file so im never looking at more than a couple hundred frames at a time, usually much less. Keeps the timelines manageable and doesn't bog down performance.
>>7439865But to answer your question, I don't thinks it's possible.
>>7440036How do you then combine the separate shots later if I may ask? I'm sorry if this is basic knowledge, I'm trying to learn
>>7439865What >>7440036 said, multiple separate files in one folderI combine them with my torrented copy of sony vegas
>>7440069I use a video editor to put everything together at the end. It's a bit tedious to manually export all your shots but there's no way to batch export animation files as far as I know.
>>7439865At this point you'd probably be better off using software specifically designed for animation rather than fighting with CSPs hack job.
>>7440071>I combine them with my torrented copy of sony vegasDo you find that better to use than premiere? I'm thinking about switching
