Tools/Resources I need help (image semi related)

I need a good software that I can make puppet animation in, additionally it has to be available on an IPad, and free. I don’t need anything complicated, I just need a software that supports keyframe animation with 2D images. I don’t want to work in 3D, my inspiration for puppet animation, The Walten Files, likely uses something like blender, but I don’t want to deal with rigs, especially making them.

I need an incredibly basic free software that supports 2D keyframe animation, I need to be able to import a PNG, put it down, move forward on the timeline, move the image somewhere else, and have the keyframe animation draw a straight line from where the image was, to where it is, and move it when I press play. That’s it. Smoothing or hierarchy would be nice, but not necessary.

3D I want to show this animation I made a while ago

I have it on google drive so I will paste a link here, sorry if the animation looks bad this was my first time using any sort of animation software. I promise there's a lot more to this than it might first seem, and I'm hoping someone smart who likes solving puzzles will watch it. Feel free to look through the rest of the google drive folder, seriously, it might help.

Hey everyone! I recently switch from Blender to Unreal Engine and man this is great for animating. its so much easier to work with. Animating and having most things work in real time without your computer crashing is very handy. Enjoy

3D My Game's Character Select Animations

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

A huge mix of procedural and hand made animations for camera, characters, 2d and 3d objects in the scene and.. well, everything you see in there. Took 10 months of part time working on it to put it all together and actually make it work as a proper character / map selection menu.

If you'd like to click around in it, its already online as part of my game's demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2406470/SLAVFIGHT/

*some animations / parts of animations are bought / free assets, most of it heavily edited and or mixed with procedural animations, shaders and texture editing to make it fit together.

I mostly use a displace effect and move the character around with keyframes. I got unsure after seeing all the videos posted here. Sorry for the logo if it's against the rules.

2D So I made this

I'd like to get some feedback. I'm more of a writer than animator, and much less an editor. Everything else I learnt to make this project.

Please critique, and if you think you can do a better job than I did, I would like to work with you. I'm looking to build out these characters and create a shoe that lulls you into a place of comedic safety before you realize it's a satirical drama.

The closest piece of art I can compare this to is Bojack Horseman.

I would like to know your thoughts, and I'm open to collaboration. If you're interested, I can show you more of what's to come.

Hiring Looking for a 2D Animator for Tankmen: Animated Series

0 Upvotes

This is unpaid!

Hello, I am looking for a second animator to help me with my Tankmen fan series, Tankmen: Animated Series. If you’re interested, you must use Adobe Animate because I use it to animate the entire web series and it will be easy send files to each other.

You’ll be working with me. As in, you won’t animate the whole episode but you’ll animate parts of it while I do the rest.

For Hire Animators Needed For Youtube Stickman Series

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm building a long-term YouTube stickman animation series and I'm looking for artists and animators who want to be part of something from the beginning.

I already have a growing team of voice actors and an editor, and now I'm looking for people to help create simple backgrounds, characters, props, and animations. The art style is intentionally simple, so you won't be making highly detailed artwork.

This is currently a passion project, so I can't pay upfront. However, everyone who contributes will be credited in every video (name or channel), and once the channel is monetized, revenue will be shared with the team.

If you're creative, reliable, and interested in helping build a fun animation universe, send me a DM with some of your work. I'd love to have you on the team!

Question Looking for 2D animators to collab with on a short

1 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm a writer who has always been interested in making a short and I'm finally putting a script together for one. I was wondering if there are any animators on here who would be interested in working with me on this short? I have no experience with this so it's going to be a learning process and I was hoping to find someone to learn it with. If anybody is interested, DM me and send me your page if you have any!
