I just want to say you're all skilled and amazing, I'm just a lurker and I scrolled through the previous thread and was blown awaymaybe some day I'll try to animate something myself but I got too much on my plate right now
Any of you use krita? What brush do you use for line art?

How realistic is it to expect to get a job in animation if I have a decent portfolio? I don't have a college degree for the record.
>>7993014kek
>>7993061i'm sorry buddyboyo, you're late and animation is a wasteland. most seasoned vets are jumping ship.

which dedicated animation software should I get? I'm thinking of traditional hand drawn and puppet hybrid. I'm currently on CSP but the animation function is shit.1. animate2. tv paint3. toon boom4. moho

>>7995123It's just Krita's 'Basic-5 Size' pen with an oil knife tip (comes with Krita) and 0.15 spacing>>7995219thank you, though I do find the smear of her arm and face a little jarringI don't think I'm going back to it to be honest, I'd rather start new projects.Love your animations, btw. /i/'s been my homeboard for like the past ten years so I always see your stuff.This is from last year's Mr. /co/, I made seven short flash animations for Goofy, I don't know if it'd be okay for me to dump them here. They're not that good, honestly. I was rushing between rounds lol
>>7995467That's nice. I've been using the ink 3 G pen ever since I started animating with krita but the roughness of the lines always bothered me whenever I did any clean up
Tryna make limited animation work
how long has everyone animated/drawn for?
Are any of the animation programs aside from Procreate Dreams on iPad any good?I've been animating stuff with base Procreate for a long time, but I'm extremely limited by the lack of multiple timelines and audio imports. For the longest time I was hoping Procreate would implement that so I was pretty excited to see them make Procreate Dreams... only to try the program and end up feeling this UI is a nonsensical fucking nightmare. How the fuck do you go from having something as streamlined as the animation assist in Procreate to this weird ass jumbled mess where I can't just fucking start out with one frame and add new ones as I go and open up the timeline and go back and fourth between two frames to check them. I am so fucking confused. Why do I need 4 fucking different modes, what other fucking animation program does this shit. Just let me fucking draw.ANYWAY. I've tried Toonsquid as well and much much much more prefer that layout, but the brushes are kind of dogshit and I'm struggling to draw anything refined looking with it. Got any tips? Any settings I might be sleeping on, or any other decent animation programs on ipad?Pic related is a short animation I made in Procreate, and here's some old unfinished WIPs made in Toonsquid. First one is mostly drawn in procreate with the drawings copy pasted into Toonsquid, second one is with the drawing made entirely in Toonsquid.SFW (there's a gap between 0:56 and where it picks up again at 1:35)>https://files.catbox.moe/9tnkmj.mp4slightly NSFW>https://files.catbox.moe/8zn0yr.mp4Ultimately want to draw animated music videos. However I'm both struggling with finding an ipad program that allows me to make good looking art with a UI not designed by aliens, and how the hell to optimize the filesize of my works without sacrificing the quality.
>>7995763>SFW (there's a gap between 0:56 and where it picks up again at 1:35)>>https://files.catbox.moe/9tnkmj.mp4catbox corrupted the file for some reason, here's the animation on litterbox (should be up for 3 days)>https://litter.catbox.moe/ua8bagdga4kkix37.mp4
>>7995549most posters here prob been going at it for a couple years
>>7995549according to my first animation upload on e621, about 4 years
>>7989810Why adults, though?
>>7995219thx for animating Velvet back then, reminds me of this video https://youtu.be/4z7-c_T5hNc?si=mCku1CzPhsOHw2pOim acting up lol
booomp
>>7989810when i make an animation channel, can i include a crypto wallet like solana/evm to accept donations? or will that just get me negative feedback cuz a lot of people are anti crypto now?
>>7993138Anything but Animate.
can anyone point me towards a good video about animating using motion tweens and curves? cuz im getting filtered by it fucking hard. it doesnt matter which program i imagine the logic translates between all of them
>>7995467great use of impact frames anonhad there been a slight zoom out along side the fist pulling back followed by super quick zoom into the fist this would have much more punch tho>>7995498lmao hilariousSUFFA AXOLOTL>>7995549been almost 6 years since i picked up the penthinking back im kinda dogshit considering how long i've been going at itits my own fault for dragging my feet as my peers kept progressing >>7995763>>7995773>https://litter.catbox.moe/ua8bagdga4kkix37.mp4>https://files.catbox.moe/8zn0yr.mp4dude these is a really fun animatic very well doneat this point i'd recommend just getting saving up for a cheapo small huion display tablet to pair up with a a laptop n using something more purpose built for animation like that yknowwould make work way easier for you>>7995951i really like the hair covering one eye tropewhat else can say>>7995968anon get an animation channel up and running first then we'll talk donation methods>>7996272just learn to read the position/time Graphs intuitively anon-santhey're the basis of everything tweening relatedas shitty as adobe animate is it has inbuild presets for ease-in ease-out alongside handy graphs that you can tweak for further fine-tuningaside from that im sure you can find old livestreams of tween animators doing their workflow livei believe minus8 had a few streams but he had a menta breakdown n 404'd everything tracking them down gonna be a bitch n a half but there should be a few dedicated archivers out therestudy minus8's work to learn the limits and strengths of tween animation incase you haven't already
>>7995494I made some fixes, it's still rough but I think it looks a bit better. The motion's pretty good, which I think it's the most important part, but the lack of consistency in shapes and lines were too distracting.
>>7996382Thanks!>at this point i'd recommend just getting saving up for a cheapo small huion display tablet to pair up with a a laptop>n using something more purpose built for animation like that yknow>would make work way easier for youDamn, that does sound like good advice but I'm also poor as all hell right now. I guess I will consider it.
>>7996382>i believe minus8 had a few streams but he had a menta breakdown n 404'd everythingAs a digital hoarder it drives me insane that the amount of times I've seen talented artists do this completely vindicates my compulsive habbit to fill my computer with saved images and videos of things I like that I will probably never look at again.
>>7996384Thanks. I can't really take credit for the motion though its really just a trace over of this Yor gif that I did as a request for someone in /dbs/. I mostly posted it to use as an example for how the brush I was using before looked
>>7996439try looking for something second hand if need bethose dislay tablets are sturdy as hell and only ever need a new set of cords to get running finethe cords can be bought separetely if need be>>7996454dude i can totally relatehad another hard-drive added to my PC set-up just for thati'm on New Folder(137) rn with every folder carrying a mish mash of image that looked nice to melearning to use the snipping tool basically sealed my hard-drive's fate>>7996384>>7996594cute
>>7996692God Dammit that thing is just too cute
>>7995951oh god it’s the windy ass again.
I applied to glitch productionsCan't wait to get rejected/ no follow-up email like usual
>>7989810i know most anime is drawn on paper but for the cases when its done digitally which of software you listed is the industry standard?
finally moved on to making a filthy evil p*rn loop with spinestill very much getting used to this workflow and im not very confident with my approach but it's somewhat starting to take form. the good thing about this program is once i get the animation down i can draw over all the assets to add shading with minimal effort so thats cool choppy versions with just keys and no interpolation and smooth version is just the same keys but with default ease in-out interp slapped on top, obviously needs cleaning but it's workable. no idea if this is the normal workflow for this type of program but it's what i got
>>7996697yeah i carry a lil doodle of her and frauv in my wallet n glance at them for an instant smile>>7997435looking good anon : DDD
>>7997406clip studio or tvpaint. toonboom harmony if you have the autism for it.
>>7997435Yo, I am calling you spineanon now. Really looking forward to seeing your progress. I need to fucking get off my ass soon and animate so I can post in here, but your stuff is definitely giving me dopamine hits for tweening animation.
Finally!:Some resources to help me improve from my LAST attempt:https://vimeo.com/1206131995Cheers.
>>7997702really nicelike how the head is half the speed of the body>>7997986how did you compile the drawings into a video?do u have a scanner setup at home?its really kinda cute
First time using this program, and first time animating since around 2023... pretty rusty.
Anyone have a decent guide on getting started on learning smears?
>>7998729look up the looney tune on sakugabooru and go frame-by-frameno better way than learning from the pioneers of the techniqueor if you wanna do anime studies i believe sakugabooru has a dedicated smear tag to browse
boooomp
>>7997573BIGGER!
alright thats about as done as i care to get this, im gonna move on. obviously many issues with this but i dont wanna keep obsessing over it. def learned a lot making this and im confident my next loop wont take as long. i think my biggest annoyance is the impact doesnt feel very impacty, if i werent so sick of this loop id spend another 2 days trying to tweak it but oh fucking well, i'll do it better next time>>7997924lol thanks i'll wear the label with pride
>>7999361I double dog dare you to make a Crash thread on /v/ with that as the OP
>>7999366i guarantee ill get a site wide ban /v/ mods are FAGGOTS
Krita works well
>>7999436Slowly getting it
>>7997435>>7999361Hot Tawna, really nice titties. Though definitely pretty ridiculous looking animation too haha.What program are you doing this stuff with?
>>7999132Soon : DDD
>>7996382sorry about making my own thread, i thought the gif looked really cool and learning wind
>>7999997Not him but I don't think you really need to be apologizing over that
have you guys ever simultaneously worked multiple jobs and if you have how do you deal with it?currently I'm stuck between animation and cleanup on two things while also taking two college classes and I feel like I'm juggling it all
>>8000016so all is forgiven?
>>7997435looks good...what software ?
>>8000067I don't think you did anything wrong but I guess. You're fine anon, don't worry about it
>>7999612>>8000087program is spine2d
Has anyone tried out rough animator or calipeg?I was thinking of maybe giving these a go, though I'm a mega poorfag so I want to research anything new I invest in.I mainly do traditional frame by frame animation. I want to make animatics and eventually music videos.
>>7995951The video is a big help btw if you want to animate more wind Kott
>>7989810First animation on Android phone.
>>8001025Second animation
>>8001025>>8001040>does a a half decent ball bounce>instantly animates a cumming bear nextthe zoomies have gone insane
>>8001513I haven't looked at Animator's Survival Guide in a while. Does the masturbating bear not come right after the bouncing ball or is it further along?
>>8001513so many people are addicted to porn these days
>>8000333hmmm never mind, after checking out various youtube videos comparing ipad apps... vast majority of them have preferred toonsquid. I do like toonsquid, just not the brushes. So maybe I need to do more tinkering with the brush and pencil settings
>>8001846well that and your preferred forum is the place where all the porn addicted degens hang out rather than people who care about their reputation or making a name for themselves
I need to add more booby jiggles next wip will add another key after the up frame for extra air time>>8001025nice ball anon make more of em >>8001548lmao
>>8002240Very nice walk animation. Working on a walk animation myself (It's an angel pig, still need to draw her wings)
>>8002466cute
spine's cool but its nice to do some simple and clean frame by frame too, much more straightforwardstill very messy but im happy with how fast i got the general motion and timing down
>>8002240you think can make her hair grow?
>>8002240wip update>>8002466nice march anon very cute>>8002590neat>>8002871its meant to be Anna from Shimoneta fr arequest from /a/i could add longer hair later after i deliver tot that requester if you likewaves are always a joy to animate
>>7997435how difficult is spine2d how much prep I have to do to animate my illustrations?
>>8003050Im sorry i didnt quite get what you said
>>8003050>>8003243i was talking about the girl in my gif
something after a while ig

is this good?
>>8004058it's good and definitely conveys a jumping creature. There's a few frames that could be slightly adjusted to apply some basic animation principles, I attached a hack-job edit to somewhat visualize the concepts.
>>8004446thanks, I already finished cleaning up the animation and all that I'm gonna implement that ear thing when I wake up then I'll post the finished ver here
alright I think this is done
>>8005139adjusted the ears a bithttps://files.catbox.moe/hcjfve.mp4
First time using csp, I don't even have a pen tab
Trying to do a thing where a hand drawn animated guy fights a robot who is AI animated.I hate the AI tools right now for videogen, no granular control at all.
>>8006064Looks like the dude from yiik. Also work on your animation so it doesnt look like shit it looks really weird for some reason cant pinpoint why
>>8006122>cant pinpoint whyWhy even open your mouth if your unable to articulate your own thoughts?
Getting back into animation after decades long hiatus. Any suggestions for software? I come from a flash mx background, but looking for something that's similar, interface wise. Must have paralax scrolling and most important is a one time fee, because fuck paid sunscriptions. The more affordable, the better.Any suggestions?
>>8006157That's the /ic/ special; "just do gooder at it lel"
>>8006064i'm ngl the ai animates better
>>8006064made me chucklethough the human's eyes could be less wonky in motion
>>8006064arent both ai?
>>8006831Minimax H3 just dropped, use that
>>8006157>>8006854samefag>>8006963i would totally bet yes
>>8005139MOSHI MONSTERS MENTIONED
>>8006963>>8007154Never change
>>8007154Womp womp
Man how can you guys still be trying to animate after Minimax came out?I can understand drawing, but animating is extremely repetitive, mechanical and draining. Why not leverage the computer?
>>8007564Is this a real question or is this like one of those Sears questions ye know what I'm saying ?
>>8007571It's a real question.I cannot understand why you'd reject leveraging AI for animation.
>>8007564You know billions of people like you will die very soon?
>>8007589You could've just answered that you have schizophrenia, anon.
>>8007592It's true.
>>8007564>why are you doing things you enjoy?it is a mystery
>>8007605I can understand enjoying the end product, but do you really enjoy the process keyframing?
>>8007613>how could someone possibly enjoy something difficult? isn't instant gratification the same thing?truly puzzling quandary
>>8007613Genuinely jealous of the amount of useful repetiton built into the act of animating that the serious guys get to do. The amount of time animators put into "tedious" stuff is the amount of time any artist should strive to put into the tedious stuff that yields growth
>>8007615>difficultThe word I'd be using is "repetitive" and "mechanical".
>>8007622tomato tomato
>>8007206kek
>>8007564I make animations to celebrate my waifu and weirdly enough it's a niche AI animation hasn't saturated yet. Also My art style is traditional art and animation so me switching to AI would probably hurt me more in the long run since that's like my entire appeal.
>>8006064Keeping an eye on this
Cmon don't give the sloppers attention. we're better than this
