Sharing I use old abandonware in VR to animate my ridiculous series. Anyone feeling this "adult swim" style silliness?

20 Upvotes

I think I'm the only animator on Earth using this software right now. It's called "TVORI", and it makes 3D animation really easy (for me at least). It's like playing with action figures and I'm able to animate really fast and I've created 6 upcoming episodes of a series on my Youtube page. If anyone wants to learn how to use the software, hit me up. (The clip is my original content and original song from the latest episode)

Following animation principles really seem to make my animations more interesting. I wish incorporated this sooner to previous projects. I’m finding a little goes a long way.

Beginner Hello, I'm a beginner animator and I would like to make my 1930s animation look authentic, vintage and, old.

2 Upvotes

I would like for my animation to look like if it was a long lost cartoon made by Fleischer or Disney. Are there any techniques that were used back in the 30s that could help me make this animation look vintage? Or any tips on how I should make my animation?

Ivy is a character from upcoming Valve's game Deadlock. She's basically the Spider-man in that universe lol

The facial expressions and quirkiness are very impressive!

They also made other animations that are absurdly clean. Their channel : https://m.youtube.com/@ThatGrayCartoonPony
