and here's why I started this thread
here's a short animation I made for school, based on a terrible children's book
don't mind the 20 seconds of model sheet, the teachers wanted that, I still don't know why

Does anyone have any good webm/gifs of the overexaggerated smearing/whatever you wanna call it during the Naruto vs. Pain fight? I unironically LOVE how well made it was (despite the context) and I see potential in learning that kind of stuff. Similar animations or show recommendations are also appreciated (a friend already recommended Konosuba).

I just made my first ever animation. I'm pretty excited to get more into it!
I don't know if I exported this right though, it looks like some of the frames are missing. Or maybe they're just going by too fast. I probably tried to do too many with the 24 frame limit.

It's cute. There is still a lot of room for improvement. The compositions aren't dynamic. The colors don't improve the mood. You seem to overuse this colorless textured gradient on your backgrounds without thinking of the lightsource. Regarding the animation the volumes vary too much and don't always work in perspective. It's pretty smooth though, and a good start as far as student films go. Keep it up.

Oh wow I didn't even know to look for that. I exported it with the default settings which put the frame rate at 8. I made a new one at 24 and it looks like all of the frames are showing now. Man there's so much that goes into this. I don't even know if 24 was right, I picked that because it gives you a default limit of 24 frames in Clipstudio Pro.

this is boring and unclean for an animation, it was more an exercise to draw the human skull and the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
how do you implement those space charts that animators mark on their drawings correctly?
I mean, I read it up in the animator's survival kit, but when I try to use it, it feels even less than guessing, totally lost there. like I would pretend to animate, it's no usage to me.
how can you successfully guess the amount of frames that the action would take? is that something that comes with experience?

Use a stopwatch and act out the movement. Or guess by putting the frames on 8's, watch the animation, adjust the frames by adding more or removing frames, watch again, rinse and repeat

Sorta. Get a stopwatch and do the motion a couple times. If it takes 1 second to turn your head, you chart out frame 1 and 25 (I do 25 as the start of a new keyframe rather than 24 as the end because the math works out better). Draw the keys and then put the breakdown at frame 13 (again, beginning of the second half rather than end of the first half). If you want him to turn his head at a fixed rate you'd draw the exact midpoint of the action, but generally you'd favor one key, so you'd draw his head looking a little closer to the last frame (easing out). Then you divide the rest of the frames the same way.

Knowing how to do it isn't that hard, knowing how to do it WELL takes a ton of practice. I just guess and check most of the time because we have the tools to do it.

Looks pretty clean to me, the only real problem is the drawing's solidity in the animation (particularly the lower jaw/masseter area), and the perspective of the lower ribs

>spacing chart

I think a lot of people make it way more complicated than it needs to be and once you "get it" it's like "OH" (I wouldn't have probably ever understood it without AMB on youtube). I don't even think it's described as such in the Survival Kit but spacing is literally just halves (of space between keys or extremes) halved in half (or thirds halved in half) depending on the action.

Timing IS guessing, but it has to be informed guessing (I guess). Use a stopwatch on references, use a timer and practice tapping your feet every second to try and improve your internal rhythm.

Alright so, the ball doesn't look like it is bouncing, it seems like the ball is just jumping ahead.
Remember that when something in motion bounces, the horizontal speed doesn't change that much with a single bounce, but bouncing objects only really slow down their horizontal velocity when there's enough friction on the object's surface to slow it down. This is why any object that bounces on the ground tends to keep moving quickly until it eventually stops bouncing and the energy put into a bounce gets put into a roll along the ground, which in turn translates into friction from the ground.
With every action, is an equal and opposite reaction.
A ping pong ball is very hollow and will bounce for a long time because the ball's mass is very low and reflects the ground's energy into a bounce, whereas something like a strong water balloon would just slap the ground and jiggle around for a while because rather than reflect the ground's energy, it absorbs the force around the surface, causing the jiggle. Same goes with boob.

Animation has a lot of physics, so it would be great if you read up and familiarized yourself with motion vectors and how resistance works. It could be applied to animation very well.
11th grade high school classes is all it needs.

I'm not an expert on animation anon but I think it looks fine, it would be better if we could see it with an in-game background.
The animation itself looks cartoonish with no windup and a crescent shape swing, that's good if that's what you were going for.

I like them quite a bit, especially the first one. Theonly thing I'd change to the first one is make her look up when she starts to fall, it seems more natural to me
The second one's nice too, but I feel like it's at a kinda awkward middleground. If it's supposed to be a big attack, it's too fast and there's not enough weight, and if it's supposed to be a quick attack, the arm moves to much, it'd be better with a thrust

For anyone using ToonBoom: is the eraser SUPPOSED to be picking up stylus pressure or not? I swear to freakin' god it was working properly ONCE but then it stopped and hasn't worked the same since-I'm starting to think that it was just my imagination.

I really just adore how it adds completely redundant exposures everywhere whenever you do pretty much anything-but especially when it replaces frames with unique drawings on them with exposures of other frames. Good thing there's no way to turn these all-important features off or alter them in any way, too. If I had to add exposures manually where and when I actually fucking wanted them I just don't know what the hell I'd do.

Every time I thought I'd solved my problems with this program it's been very fleeting (the "shift + drag" method was my latest "eureka moment" only to discover it's worthless, too). Trying to use ToonBoom for traditional-style animation has been a complete nightmare thus far and I have no choice but to write huge cry for help posts like this at the slightest provocation because of it.

tl;dr: For the love of god just use Krita.

Since this is probably the best thing on this thread i'm going to try to nit pick some faults.

The design for the back of the gun generally feels weak and it's motion isn't punchy enough.
Try putting the character in some level of shadow when they go behind the rock, It might look good.
The eyes look a bit off when the character shoots and his ammo belt could do with slightly more motion.
I'd say dial down the camera shake slightly, let the animation shine more.

Still amazing tho

your figures are impressive but the animation needs work. Id recommend trying the ball animation exercise again without doing anything too fancy. For starters, the ball will always move by the same increments horizontally through the animation. at the moment it seems like it keeps slowing down halfway through the ark. it also looks as though the spacing between the ball each frame could use some work, particularly at the beginning where it seems to jerk around a bit in the upper left corner. take your time, a solid foundation of animating simple objects moving how they should will be more helpful than trying to jump into the flashy stuff without one, even if your drawings themselves are good

timing - Watch over the rough keys you've drawn, and based off of the scene you see in your brain, add more frames [FRAMES not drawings. MORE SINGLE FRAME EXPOSURE] inbetween the existing keys to get a sense of what timing would work. Visualize in your head what the inbetween frames would look like before you even start drawing them in, and make sure it works physically and contextually. Following proper arcs and proper timing can make an animation look really fucking amazing
Remember that an animation with shitty timing will look like complete fucking garbage, no matter how high you crank the framerate and how many inbetweens you draw. Moving the keyframes is what makes the timing change, so do that before you even start with inbetweens. You'll hear shit about an "xsheet", which just maps out all your frames on a table. If you're animating a character and they have to stand stationary for a couple seconds, they'd stand there for 48 frames. If you're animating lipsync, you'd write down that they start speaking 5 seconds into the audio, which would translate to 120 frames into the shot.
If you're animating with software, a blank xsheet is basically the program's empty timeline.

Yeah I understand that but I saw from changing the exporting settings you mentioned that the final results in the gif looked different. How will I know when a gif should be set at 8 frames per second or 12 or whatever number? But instead of explaining all that if you don't want to, do you know if that's at all talked about in the book? Because I'm going to be reading the book, I've already started.
Also I'm probably going to need to find some other free hopefully lightweight animation software to practice in because CSP pro only allows you to add 24 frames total so while I could practice small bits of different timings on things I couldn't really try out different timings on a longer thing like the ball bouncing and rolling to a stop, because even if you add more frames it only lets you scrub through and play back 24 at a time. A more advanced animator could probably work around that and make the whole sequence still flow correctly, I don't think I could.

Honestly, I've skimmed through the book only a few times. I haven't really read it thoroughly enough to cite it, but I understand the animation principles enough to explain how things like that would work.
So first off, here's this image of the timeline in Adobe Flash CS6. Different layers show how to animate at different framerates using different frame exposures. You don't have to set the file or gif output to whatever framerate when you animate, you could animate on every two frames, giving you the look and feel of animating at 12FPS, but you'll also have the option and flexibility of moving to a higher framerate for quicker movements. Same can be done for 6FPS and so on. Though when you're animating key poses, framerates don't mean anything. Place them anywhere they work, and then worry about the frameRATE later.
Adobe Flash CS6 is fairly easy to pirate. If you've got any CS6 software already cracked on your PC, say Photoshop for example, open up your install folder in your program files, and just copy the "amtlib.dll" file into your Flash install folder. It has pretty decent gif output if you mess around with the publish settings.

This is really nice to see, how simple is it to setup all the shape layers? assuming you've got clean lines can you floodfill and gradient? I'd be really interested if you could break down whats being used in this. The glow on the character and the soft gradient under the cape/core shadow on the hood in particular.

I'd like to animate something a little bit more complicated but it'd be easy to clean up and strike a happy balance between what you've got and what I have in mind.

Really dynamic! You need to work on your timing and perspective, though.

Using a 2 point perspective grid, you can get a feel for where the deer is in 3d space so it's easier to keep it en route

As for the timing, just play around with it a bit more and try to match up the deer's legs and the distance it travels so it doesn't look like it's running in place

Im really sorry dude I didn't see your answer.
>Does the placeholder music have the mood you want to achieve?
could've been cuter and/or more psychedelic since the story is happening in a dream, but it does have the right night-y feeling and a cool crescendo. Keep in mind I'm musically illitterate
>How much can I take it as an inspiration?
as much/little as you want. I'm not paying you thus I'm not your boss
>Can you explain the animation a bit, there is a standing dude who doesnt move, then he rotates, then the main story starts?
the "main story" is the only part I want you to make music for, the rest is technichal bullshit you have to do before starting an animation, to make sure you really know your character. Normally the public never sees this, but my teachers wanted me to include it.
The story of the "main" animation is pretty simple. Keep in mind it's adapted from part of a book, so I'm gonna explain stuff that I didn't animate, just in case you need more context. The part I animated is in brakets. Every night before going to bed, the little boy asks his dad to check under his bed for monsters, and the dad pretends to catch one and put it in his pocket. [ one night, the boy is woken up by a noise in the kitchen, and goes to investigate. On the way there he notices that his dad's pocket is torn open. He then meets the monster in the kitchen ] and decides that it's cute, so he feeds it and plays with it. They fall asleep in the kitchen and when he wakes up the monster's no longer there.
What a shit story right?
>The music should be [...] starts at 0:36?
again just do the second part, the first part could've been litterally anything, I just tought it would be weird to upload a video with silence in it. But yeah don't do the first part, that's wasting your time and that's not even a good exercise since there's nothing happening so there's nothing to sync your music to

I'm sorry for the late answer I hope you see this

bro can you post a link to your animation without the placeholder music? My work is almost done, it turned out better than I expected, but because your animation has added sound effects, I need to play with the volume a bit and maybe change a few bits.

Also, do I have your permission to upload your anim+my music to my channel on youtube? As a part of my (((portfolio))). With all the credits of course. In case that you agree, do you want me to include the 'technical bullshit' before the main story, or can I upload only the main story + end credits?

If you play it right after he hears the strange sound, it should be synced (I'll fine tune this when you send me the musicless version tomorrow). I might change some bits (especially in the part after he enters the kitchen) but overall it will sound like this. The beginning is more dark and mysterious.

If it's no trouble, you can add my nickname 'jimren' wherever you want.

Here's the thing: I'm a classicaly trained musician, so any instrument in the standard orchestra, you can ask for it. I'm always up to new challenges in music, but modern music (jazz, rock, electronic etc) is not of my taste.
Problem is the recording quality - I can record piano through software (as I did now) or I can play it myself (which may or may not sound even better). But I am stuck with free software recording for other instruments and that will sound ok-ish but never as good as piano (until I get better at audio engineering). The good sounding instruments cost a few hundred dollars lol.

So now - good music good quality - piano.
Good music ok quality - any other classical instrument.

How to practice staying proportionate and on-model? I'm trying to animate some game sprites in Krita and then size them down and refine them in GraphicsGale. Because of this, they don't have to look good on the macro level, they just have to translate down well. Any tips appreciated

That's two totally different questions. For staying on-model, work on your draftsmanship in general. For looking good small, just work small so there won't be a major difference when you pixelate them.

Practice in Krita, it's free. Don't bother with anything else until you can animate (and draw) worth a damn from a mechanical standpoint. Hell, by the time you get to that point Krita might unironically be one of the best animation programs out there, anyway.

I have Krita installed but I dropped it really fast cuz it wasnt working right with my wacom.
Didnt know it had functions for animating so I will give it another look.
Anyway for the past days I spent with Harmony I now understand how the frame by frame animation works, I just really want the best sofware that will give me all the functions I need.
Currently checking out After Effects, and Photoshop which I always used for drawing but never for the animation function.

The animation function in photoshop is garbage so don't bother, in Harmony the workflow is geared for motion tween animation to the point that doing traditional pose to pose is a pain in the ass. If Krita were more stable, had simple tweening for backgrounds and shit like that and better audio support it WOULD be the best. As far as I'm concerned it's only a matter of time.

No. One good thing I will say about Harmony is the ability to alter multiple drawings at once when you paste them into different frames is kind of cool (good for loops but that's pretty much it) so I have to give them credit there-but that's only tangentially related. There is no way to do that in any software that I've ever heard of. That's why most cartoons have characters with an extremely simple palette.

What the shit are these replies. Its doesnt look good.

She's too stiff. Remember arcs rule and look up character action lines or whatever that was called. Basically, the whole body moves in momentum and preparation, remember swords are heavy, but in this clip she mostly just moves her arm, and it looks really unnatural.
The sword also seems completely weightless- the swing looks like its about the same speed all throughout because you distributed the frames too evenly- and this is really not at all the case when swinging a sword. I know because I have a few. Keep in mind, it starts slow and ends slow- since the middle of the swing is the fastest moment, maybe you shouldnt draw it.
And, finally, the whole motion is very unnatural. Look, as of what I heard, learning animation involves some acting in the part of animator- try it out yourself; Pick some long and heavy object that could be compared to a bat or sword and swing it around a bit. Im pretty sure none of them will look like this animation- The sword is not trapped to being vertical and on the right side of your body, it actually moves all around the place, coming and going from many angles. The most natural swings are diagonal, not parallel to the floor.

t. someone with a sword and a bit of animation experience

For some reason whenever I look on the work of successful animators all I feel is a deep hatred towards the animator. It just feels so demotivating seeing someone else do something that I feel as though I could've done. It's the same for art as well. I want to be good at animation and drawing as a whole but I just can't figure out why or how to, and how to stop feeling this way towards others as well.

There are actually very, VERY few worthwhile books on 2D animation.

Animator's Survival Kit is the TOME, that everyone recommends, but I actually have a lot of issues with the way it's organized and Richard William's teaching method. Still, it's worth having, and worth reading.

Eric Goldberg's Character Animation Crash Course is very good as well.

Timing for Animation is probably worth looking at.

But for my money, Preston Blair's Cartoon Animation is still the best overall book, even after 70 years.

copy pasting parts can be good economy but it doesn't work here at all, at least redraw the upper half a few times to get some flow to it. nice work on the legs though

I use adobe animate, I dunno where people are getting older versions of flash. I like this newer one cause it doesn't crash as much on my mac

the animation makes the characters seem like they have bones and constraints and that ain't good.
Try to break up the motions and see how you can exaggerate them to make it look more lively.

Other than that, pretty good stuff anon, fight scenes take a shit ton of time so don't worry about it

What version of Harmony would you recommend for a beginner who plans to make this a career?
Is it worth the extra money for the upper versions?

I'm not that anon, but if you plan on making a commercial property (which is like what... .001% of /ic/s traffic?)... You REALLY shouldn't use pirated versions of programs because you're going to get your ass in some big fucking trouble.

Really doubt that's the case, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

that's fucking obvious though, if he's starting out with the objective of doing such a thing he would have to buy the program if he plans on releasing it. But there shouldn't be any problem with pirating it while he learns
