You fags wanna learn how to make shitty animations?
We'll be using https://www.gimp.org/
a freeware image manipulator.
just torrent photoshop, senpai
>>25723613
Never.
Microsoft is a zionist scheme.
Anyway, layers are going to act as your basic frames, if there isn't a layers tab in your tool box it can be brought up as a dockable dialog under "windows"
File>New>image
Choose whatever size you want.
these things require some effort to do, and I'm too depressed to do it
i hope more anons make animations like that though
This is gonna be a simple walking animation, draw your "non mobile" shit- torsos, heads, etc. now, on a separate layer
Here's some sad fag in a trenchcoat.
>>25723853
These are actually pretty therapeutic to make when depressed.
I've wept while doodling stick figures ripping off each other's heads and fucking the stumps.
Monitoring this thread for educational purposes.
I have photoshop and gimp but have stopped using them like 6 years ago desu. I never learned how to make an animation all I know is just make a shit ton of layers with slight movements? right?
interested
>>25723876
As a person walks the torso bounces,
copy your first layer, select your sprite, float it, then move it upwards slightly.
>>25723650

kill yourself my man
>>25723986
Follow this step to make a bouncing motion, you can review your work with filters>animation>playback it should look like this so far.
Interesting. Keep going OP.
I will make you proud OP
but the time must be right first.
>>25724093
Return to each layer, draw limbs corresponding to each position.
It'll look better if you keep them the same general length, which means the lower your torso is, the more "bent" they should be.
Fiddle with layer opacity so you can look back at previous layers.
Holy shit I drew that op pic a million years ago for a choice thread
I know that nobody gives a shit or believes me but that gif is hilarious
>>25724203
I didn't like my sixth animation layer and threw it out- I completed a "loopable" amount of frames before I needed it.
Thank you OP. That knowledge will be helpful at some point.
>>25724321
at this point you can just copy your background layers, merge each stickman down on top of it with Layer>merge down, and then save it as a .gif and you'll have a little dude walking around.
>>25724429
Here he is, the little cunt.
>>25724429
but if you're a fancy high-falooting fellow, you can make a scrollable background.
make sure whatever line and object is leftmost matches with the rightmost line/object, as this strip is meant to be a perfect loop.
I'm going to make a building here.
jesus fucking christ, just use a flash program
Made this in macromedia flash in less than 2 minutes, no stupid bullshit
This is how easy it is, you can have layers, tweens, onion skinning, set frame rate, images are easily put into vector form so they're easy, easy to group things, rotate from a hinge/ point
and i downloaded this program for free
>>25724568
I'm a lazy faggot, so I'm just going to exploit patterns and selectively erase to make a city skyline.
>>25724624
>>25724671
Sorry, was just trying to help.
People had expressed an interest previously.
I'll stop now.
>>25725014
That's not the point, I don't want to ruin your fun but the method you're using is so convoluted that it's painful to think you don't just do it the easy way
>>25725103
I also don't like the drawing/editing tools in flash.
I mean when it's just a stick figure it doesn't matter, obviously.
>>25725103
I'm referring even more to shit like this.
I don't think this would be possible to make in flash.
>>25724469

>>25725176
You are pretty much teaching people how to bash in a screw with a hammer, rather than just using a screwdriver. You might be good at using the wrong tool for a certain task, but you shouldn't inflict it on others.
Try either of these instead if you want to animate shit:
http://www.synfig.org/
http://www.pencil2d.org/
>>25725280
That's not even very good desu.
In any case After Effects is better for video and gif creation.
> macromedia flash
what the fuck is this, 2002?
>>25725442
I already apologized I just wanted to say some methods are inaccessible.
I was wrong about everything.
Let's just let this garbage thread die.
I'm sorry.
>>25725479
Yes, and this is the Newgrounds BBS.
I tried to figure this out once, this is an animation I made using giftools, I made each frame in mspaint then pasted it into a .gif, what do you think
>>25725528
> newgrounds
you mean albinoblacksheep?
>>25725571
> .gif
> it doesn't move
>>25725571
I'm sorry.
This was a mistake.
I thought people would make some funny gifs, and have a few laughs.
I'm a piece of shit and I'm sorry.
>>25725571
wait it's not working, let me remake it
>>25725525
You have nothing to apologise for buddy.
Also don't let this thread discourage you from pursuing a hobby that you enjoy and getting better
>>25725571
>>25725597
>>25725611
>>25725650
well shit, it still doesn't work and I'm such an autistic useless sperglord I demoralized OP with my lame and failed attempt to create an animated .gif
>>25725176
it can matter, made this in not too long
>>25725479
yup
>>25725733
I encourage you to teach your superior skills.

thx familia, ignore the negativity on /r9k/, this step by step instruction has inspired me to give it a go
Stupid OP BTFO.
>>25725733
the coat is a loop
the colors are backgrounds and the white color has those parts cut off and is the section that's moving
>>25725797
Watch oneyNG's flash tutorials, I think spazkid also made some
This one I made utilizes symbols and tweening. The only individually drawn keyframes are the coat and legs, everything else is basically stationary except I told it to slide to specific positions over time. Even the head bobbing/ coat bobbing is tweens within tweens.
>>25725825
no, fuck that, I just want OP to make cool shit still
But small stick figure doodles can be done more effectively in flash, in a more impressive way
>>25725832
I'd like to see you do better buttercunt
>>25724075
Nice image family
>>25725947
> tweens within tweens.
MODS! MODS! MODS!
>>25725832
I don't know what you mean by white color, it's all transparent besides the head shape, with a white backdrop
>>25726012
fuck off, there's never a competition with this sort of shit
>>25725825
Yep, my asshole got ripped out through my eyesockets.
>>25725611
It's cool man. Your intentions were good and you gave at least a few robots something challenging to do besides filling piss bottles all day.
>>25726487
Usually I'd animate a picture of me having hung myself from a rafter, the rafter breaking due to my being a fat fuck, my falling body breaking through my floor, my basement, hell, and then shooting out through china, but I think I'm gonna take a break for a while.

an underrated post, this is
>>25725611
It was kind of fun making this regardless of how lazy it may be.
>>25726842
>nostalgia
Yeah, I get that a lot lately.
>>25726992
Those shekkles gave me a kekkle.
Thanks for the tutorial anon. Don't quit on us yet. You got some real skill.
>>25727844
>You got some real skill
I've got AIDS.
>>25725733
Does that pic take a lot of skill to make? It seems simple but I imagine that you need some skill to make it look that good.
>>25724624
How do you make it seem so physics-y?

Nice OP. Could you screenshot all these instructions and upload them to an album? So i can try this out later?
>>25729792
>not wanting to kill a future roastie
Who said I wouldn't kill her, just not yet atleast, have to get your final fuck out of her
>not wanting to bro it up with Chad
You mean:
>not wanting to be a huge faggot
>not confused into thinking chad wants anything to do with you
>>25729703
Chad ends up as a PTSD case, fucks a fat goth, suffers a flashback, beats up the landwhale, gets sent to jail, then finds out he has AIDs.
