I would really appreciate if someone could tell me really good examples of animations and shows/anime that actually have really good animation

Metal slug 1 through 3 and known for their beautiful animations

The fight scenes for Ashita no joe and Ashita no Joe 2 have all of the budget spent on them. It's an anime with stretch and squash incorporated, by god!

A few episodes of Batman: The animated series are very very well animated. The whole show looks wonderful thanks to Bruce Timm's art direction but some episodes just have amazing moments. Like the Clayface debut episodes with him shape-shifting at the end. Or the Robin origin story.

I would recommend checking out sakugabooru for a collection of animations.

>>2689985
I'm afraid that you will rarely find any shows with good animation. They just don't have time or budget to produce high quality animation. If yo want to see good animation however then look no further than Disney's Fantasia (1940 version the 2000 version sucks balls)

My personal favorite part is the waltz of flowers from the nutcracker suite.

Other good examples are cartoons such as the old mill and the brave little tailor.

This is good advice.

I ran out of animation paper a quarter way through with another walk cycle :/

It's a really weird feel when streaming yourself animating something earns 10x the revenue of the final animation on youtube.

>>2690633
how profitable is youtube per view count?

>>2690637
I think unless you manage to get people to watch 3 minutes or more you don't get shit. I can't remember, but a lot of animators abandoned youtube because of it.

>>2690637
It's not about view count, it's about watch time/length.

A video 10 minutes long with 100k views will make 4x an animation thats 1 minute long and has a million views.

Now imagine that amplified by the fact that letsplays can poop out daily 30 minute long videos while an animation channel can produce one 2 minute long video a month.

Here's SSUNDEES hacked adsense revenue for comparison.

I wonder if it's depressing at all for them to think that they have to exaggerate all their emotions and yell and scream and act like fools in order to make money. I would feel manipulative and like a slut if i behaved that way, and would look down on the people who liked me.

>>2690661
I would do the exact same shit. It's not as bad as you make it out to be, I'm sure most of them think of it like they're putting on a performance for their audience. I detest lets plays but if I could make the kind of money they make just by sitting on my ass and playing games while occasionally blurting out some random shit I would do it in a heart beat.

Question, does using the light tables in various animation softwares take something away from ones work? I almost wonder if there is something you gain from rolling pages but not necessarily being able to see your previous drawing. It makes me wonder if light tables have become a bit of a crutch and take out some of the spontaneous creativity you need between pages.

>>2691154
Even with onion skin layers you should always go through the frames to get a vetter feeling for the flow

>>2691160
That's what I was thinking, though my current thought process is that light tables or onion skin just clutter the area in which you are drawing really keeping you from focusing. They also make the animation a bit more mechanical because you don't get as much creative "change" in your work. I think I'm going to go forward only using onion skin when I'm doing a moving hold or light bounce. See how that treats me for a bit. It's going to be a crazy change considering I've worked using onion skin for 3 years now just hitting the play button periodically to test the motion.

So I want to do a sex animation, and I'm kind of wondering if there's any really good examples? Studio hentai is generally way too stiff, and there's some individual artist that have good motion but Is there any specific artist out there that does great sex animations on a consistent basis? Subject matter/style doesn't matter (western, eastern, furry w/e). I'm just trying to think of the best way to tackle it.

>>2691154
>light tables in software
You mean onion skin?

And you should always be scrubbing back and forth

123KB, 1280x720px

>>2691229
I sort of do, but as I said it's just a bunch of pressing the play button once I'm finished with an action to test it. I didn't usually need to scrub since I could see the frame before and after but I feel it made shit more mechanical. Here's a quick sketchy motion I did a couple of days ago that sort of shows what I mean. It has a bunch of imperfections, but it's something.

>>2691248
Bind forward and back to W and R (or whatever is comfortable) and scrub through your animations as you go. It's more or less the same as rolling. You can even bind Onion Skin On/Off to E or whatever to quickly turn it off to roll your drawings.

That animation is too fast. Why don't you start it off slow like his anger is building and then have him punch? That way you'll have some performance in it. As it is this is just a blank faced muscle guy making a weird punch esque motion.

File: image.gif (88KB, 1280x720px) Image search: [Google]

88KB, 1280x720px

>>2691279
Oh, I agree. It really isn't even a punch more than a weird swipe and it is to fast. Here's one that's more readable I did a while back. Still might be to fast though.

I just got back into animating after a year of experimenting with other art forms so I'm rusty as fuck and my quality has gone down, but I've come back with a great understanding of what makes 2D animation different from the other mediums.

At this point I'm just going through the paces of building myself up again to do stuff and while I was watching videos of old animators do their work I noticed how little they relied on seeing their previous or next drawing at all times and thought there might be something there. Something that happens when you let your mind create the inbetween without being able to constantly see your keys. I'll have to develop a new workflow, so I appreciate your advice on the key rebindings.

So I guess a last small question, when doing an inbetween, would it be better to place the drawing after the drawing it favors, or where it would normally go in the timeline. When doing it traditionally the animator would place it infront of the favored drawing, then, after they were done they would put it in its proper place. Digitally I don't know if there is a need for this, but small things like that could make a difference.

>>2690658

Yo, what're your guys' goals with animation?

When I was younger I wanted to do those dumb youtube parody type videos but now I'm not feeling it anymore, kinda wanna do short film type stuff now but that's kinda vague. Don't really know exactly what I wanna do anymore.

>>2692374
It's not quite clear of what you mean.
Do you mean so that you can draw on top of the video?
If that is so, almost any animation software does the job: Adobe Flash, Toon Boom, TVPaint, etc.

I wan't to specialize in 2D action sequences, specifically for the intense fight scenes. I originally wanted to do parodies years ago, but it just feels like they're really dull, predictable, and unfunny now, both for Youtube videos and television shows.

Wait a minute, it was Adobe Flash and traditional animation. God damn, this movie was probably a pain in the ass to animate.

>>2693250
I don't think there is. To onion skin anything without a white background you'd have to have the original files with all the layers separated(I think). You can scrub through everything frame by frame tho, which is probably better for studying.

>>2693249
you tried opentoonz?

Couldn't care less about the character's implications or whatever. I think the design is cute.

>>2693322
Was wondering if someone would recognize me.

I did a thing I always do, which is start something and then lose interest when I have it solved in concept instead of putting in the time to actually enact the solution. I came back to it again to try and at least get it to a state that could be called "complete".

I'll get serious when I find myself in need of actual finished work for a portfolio or something. Which is basically never, unfortunately, since I don't see my art as a career.

Pic related is literally umm... literally...

So is anybody participating in the Jazza animation challenge?

You have a failures mentality. Never trying too hard, never risking anything, never accomplishing anything..

Don't bother using Save Scene. Save yourself some time and keybind Save All instead.

>>2693422
Any schedule made by anyone but yourself will be shit. Get a good understanding of what skills are needed, experiment for some time and then you can create a very good schedule perfectly customized for you and with thought and understanding behind it. Getting creative and involved in creating a schedule instead of getting one handed to you on a silverplate will teach you a lot of things and will make you feel less lost in the long term. Also no one here is even remotely decent so there is also that when asking for a schedule.

Gestures feel to loose, basic shapes feel to consistent and rigid, and going for the final drawing leaves to many stutters and inconsistencies.

Are there any other ways to sketch out poses for animation? Ways that don't necessarily have you drawing everything from the ground up but also don't have you trying to do to much at once?

>>2693624
Only BG is 3D.

>>2692065
to nitpick:
You animated this as if the string was connected directly to the top. The string actually attaches to the side of rod, so when it is dragged the rod should be at a slight angle so that its centre of mass lines up with the string. If the string and its point of tension is meant to be touching the surface the rod should roll to put the knot at the bottom.
Also I'd say this is pulling pretty fast so unless the coefficient of friction with the surface is really high the rod should jiggle a little at the end of its rotation as it loses its angular momentum.

Theres a few jittering frames where his hands go back and forth and theres no easing. EVerything feels evenly spaced and timed. Add more drawings at the extreme poses where his hands are at the highest and remove fraes where hes swinging. Those are the most obvious ones, theres also some problems with his elbows not being arched correctly but I dont immediately see how you could fix that . Good luck.

Is it possible to do pose-to-pose animation in Krita? Please help fampaisanos. Animating straight ahead can be fun and all but pose to pose seems more logical.

Assuming Krita can't, is there a different software that can and doesn't suck a fat wiener at it?

It's got malware though, try finding a different torrent

>>2695341
Nevermind. You can click and drag frames, that's about as good as it gets I suppose lmoa.

Is there anything that really makes TVPaint better than PS/CSP for animating? I have all three but never animated in PS or CSP. Was thinking of doing so as they're honestly just better programs for drawing. I would imagine PS would pretty much be better since you can bring in a 3D environment to manipulate easier.

Very smooth, but I think the outlines don't need to be on everything, just the places where shadows would be, and there's no outline on his jowls/nose-flaps. I think you made more mistakes in the pixel art aspect, not animation, so maybe try to post it to the pixel art thread.

Thanks, I think that was it. But five seconds of success only poses new problems.

What I did for this is hand drawn on index cards, scanned, and edited into usable frames. In a test run, I tried to use the import method in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il5J5Ymn1U8 (along with this renaming thing he talked about in the comments), but the frames don't show up when I go to their location in Load Layer (Weirdly enough there's this other dummy file I worked with days ago that shows up wherever, but that's irrelevant.)

Pic related, the actual frames (mass renamed for importing) and what Load Layer says. Any ideas? They're all single-frame gifs, if that matters.

>>2696131
Actually shit, I think I found out the issue. I looked at my reactions folder (which has a shitton of moving gifs) and Opentoonz would only show my pngs and jpgs. I need to mass convert all of the frames to one of those formats before I can even try to fiddle around with it more. Real pain in the ass.

Since all of my framesets are just static gifs, anyone know how to do good large-scale filetype conversion that's not mindkillingly tedious?

a couple crits:
when the cat opens the window you mirror the shot which breaks continuity
the jumping animations near the beginning are really sluggish
also near the beginning there's a real bad tangent with the cat standing on the windowsill

>>2696449
Yeah, those are some of the things I'd change. The part where the clouds move is also a bit too clusterfuck-y.

>>2696485
Carnival of the animals was also pretty good, both this and rhapsody in blue was supervised by Eric Goldberg.

Fantasia 2000 as a whole still sucks ass tho

>>2696475
I said this in the last thread as well. Remember the bouncing ball, more frames at the top than at the bottom. also add overshoot. The arc in this case is also very weak.

>>2696182
I'd recommend just doing a stick-figure/mannequin character next time, that way you won't be losing focus thinking about anything but the motion. Also it might help to add the rest of the person in too, because as is you're not really getting a feel for character as a whole (the scale of your shit keeps changing). Hell, even try adding a straight line across at the height of the head to make it easier to track the ups and downs of the cycle.

When drawing for cleanup in animation is it better to have pressure sensitivity on or turn it off and have a consistent, thin line in which you can build up in a second pass?

When I think about it, there aren't to many traditional drawing tools that actually had much "pressure sensitivity", especially when you get into pens.

One more opentoonz question.

Is there a way to change the fps between the different frames in a single layer? I want certain actions to be at certain speeds, but I don't want to autistically insert the same frame multiple times at the highest possible speed.

Alright anon allow me to tell you a story.

Once upon a time nintendo launched a drawing application for the 3ds that allowed you to share your drawings with your friends. The mascot for this application was a girl named Nikki. She tought you how to use the application and even sent you notes on holidays. Everyone loved her.

Then one day Nintendo decided to pull the plug on the app's internet features and no one could send notes to anyone anymore. It was awfully sad. Nikki was considered out of a job. Later on dear Nikki got her very own game exclusive to japanese club nintendo members in the form of a quiz game and even showed up on Nintendo's website to deliver a few bits of news concerning NNIDs and smash bros. amiibos.

Nowadays Nikki has her own set of badges in Nintendo's collectible badge arcade and has grown a bit popular. However her badges' popularity seem to pale in comparison to the badges of a certain girl next door living in a haunted mansion, Ashley. They've both gotten a bit of a following through the badges, and have cameo'd in eachother's sets (said to be pretty good friends with eachother) but one is clearly more popular than the other judging by the amount of cameo Badges Ashley has been getting over Nikki.


I want to make her significant again.

>>2698909

I was thinking of pitching a two minute thing to Nintendo to show what I had in mind. Since two minutes is pretty doable. I was thinking of a 12 24-minute episodes deal with them. That's my goal anyway. Maybe the episodes could consist of her traveling to different nintendo IPs or just have her living in a city full of nintendo characters and doing odd-jobs for nintendo. the latter sounds more interesting actually.

Going off his in-game animations, his sword style is rapier-esque. The movements are point-focused, and it seems comparable to a fencer.
His stance is based off the "Saber" stance from this image https://webpages.uidaho.edu/VandalSwordplay/site_Images/targets.jpg

well now it's very easy to tell it's a loop. Check out how unnatural the movement looks when he comes back and starts at frame one.

speeding uuuuup to frame one and STOP ease out of it is not good looking.

>>2699009
Yeah, my fav artists page got nuked for posting even cropped loli. Pixiv is cool with loli though, not sure if they're alright with guro too

that Weed la weed was the shit I needed, anon

>>2699016
Maybe you can put up a text post letting them know you made something on your pixiv

>>2699016
Thanks anon, weed la weed was a LOT of work for everyone involved.

Also pixiv ain't perfect either. Japanese laws need you to censor genitals. So even if jap admins don't pay attention at first, if you get on the bad side of a bunch of self-righteous faggots, they could mass-report your account and get it taken down. Saw it happen to one of my favorite artists. Which blew. Definitely need to get my own website...

I thought you only had to censor if it's sold from greyht hapan where you have to live by their laws of porn and shit
>>2699023
You're getting there

>>2699023
Now it slowly eases into frame one and quickly comes out of it.

the tip doesn't have to stop at that one point. You could have the tip of the sword do a figure eight swing around before you loop again or something.

>>2699026
Apparently not..

>>2699027
>>2699023
not a figure eight. just a circle.

>>2699028
The only thing I can think of is putting a slightly opaque bar over the tips of dicks and a 50/50 transparent bar over the puss for pixiv and up loading the uncensored to a booru or paheal

>>2699027
It's worth noting that this animation will occasionally be interrupted by another animation. After a few loops I could make him look around, or swing his sword like you mentioned. Basically if you've played Smash Bros before think something like how Mario adjusts his cap at random intervals when you wait around for a bit.
Knowing that, is this animation fine for the base idle that gets interrupted by these sorts of actions

>>2699034
none of that makes a difference.


When making a loop you have to hide that it's a loop.

but if you don't care then that's fine too.

Here's a version at 96 frames, along with adjusted feet that are closer to forming a 90-degree angle as that is closer to an ideal sabre stance.
http://imgur.com/a/a4w6R

>>2699054
it's not about the amount of frames you've got. you've got plenty of frames. lessening it would be a bad idea probably.

pay attention to the tip of the sword and the shape it's making by moving. imagine that the tip of the sword is a pencil and it is drawing a shape. try and make that shape more rounded. it doesn't have to be a perfect circle, it could be an oblong. do that.

I didn't even realize Alan had this series, and I fucking loved Animator vs Animation.

You "conveniently" linked this, good shit bro.

How was I supposed to have the character be side skipping without having his front or back face the camera?

Are there any good videos or books on animating effects?

>>2700110
The Elemental Magic books are really good, look into them

Any suggestions on the hologram effect or how to have it pop into the scene?

>>2700207
have it flicker a bit at first and have it spreading/unfolding from the center

>>2700246
Thanks will try that! How about the scanlines on the projector? Should they be static or moving up or down at all times?

>>2700426
I imagine them moving would be a nice touch but in the end it's up to you wether or not you find that appealing

If anyone here is new to animation, please, read this; it's like loomis, but for animators

Also, the artist was an animator at both mgm and disney.

It's a fake gesture that nobody has ever made in real life, and you should stop drawing it, lest you turn into yet another cal-arts zombie

I'm just tired of people being too lazy to come up with their own expressions, instead opting to imitate disney and anime on a surface level

>>2700110
Adam Phillips' course on effects is the best effects related content I'm aware of

http://bitey.com/category/academy/fx-animation/

Speaking of him, I can't believe an old guard indie animator like him only makes $1000 on patreon

https://www.patreon.com/bitey

Kind of a shame, he's one of the better animators I remember from Newgrounds.

>>2700577
Well, I can assure I'm not ever going the route of "Modern CalArts Style", I have better standards for that. But animu stuff isn't CalArts.
>It's a fake gesture that nobody has ever made in real life
>PPG is now real
It's fine. I appreciate the concern, but I'll make sure to just play around with things I like just to practice for bigger projects later on.

>>2700609
btw, I will keep this in mind. I'll try doing more of that next time I can animate stuff.

>>2700577
>It's a fake gesture that nobody has ever made in real life
Just like the nose bleeding and the "lolsorandom lemme just falldown xD" moments in 90% of anime. Calm your pussy.

I've been using the copy in there for a while now, haven't had any issues with it. It does automatically open up some blog whenever you launch it but it's not like the blog spams you with ads constantly, just close the window and you're fine.

Wanted to try out my posture more, needs a lot more work.
Anatomy is still fucked up, heads are the fucking worst.

Any recommendations?

>heads are the fucking worst.
An easy way to make the head the same size is to trace over it in your first frame. Keep it to the side as a reference and drag it over your stick figure's head whenever you feel like it's getting too small or too big.

>Any recommendations?

1st Red Arrow: The stick figure on the right skids on the ground when he gets punched in the jaw, it looks really off. If someone is getting punched that hard, I'd imagine they would get knocked down to the ground. If you have extra time, make him fall down on his back and animate him quickly pushing his body off the ground with all the force coming from his legs to get back up while his back is on the wall and the arms clinched onto the wall.

2nd Red Arrow: When the stick figure on the right is getting punched against the wall repeatedly, exaggerate the head's form. You don't have to, but I recommend making his head squish with every received punch. Or with every punch, make his head dribble back and forth against the wall like a basketball. As of right now, it looks like the stick figure on the left has really weak punches, or the right figure has a head made of steel.

Isn't this why Miyazaki said anime was a mistake? Fuckin' weebs and their stock expressions.

The top animation is near perfect but the speed it accelerates down is exaggerated abit too much the stop mid-air and landing are very well done.

This was my first fully finished animation after a year of small fundamental learning on and off.(Im at a art school but not for animation yet) Animated in Flash then used Hitfilm 3 to edit in 3d effects like rain and storms and create 3D background layers.
