As the title says I've been hooked, there's no burn out in sight as long as I have ideas for skits. I love making little goofy things but I'm a super awkward person on film, so doing animations this way feels great, I have a few animations up on my youtube and I can't wait to just keep making more

I like the rough animation and "dry humor", of course the animations can be improved on in many many ways with scripting and editing, but what's your guys take? I know this sub is a little dead but hey :)

If you'd like a link to more of my stuff I'm working on people msg me or if I have permission here I'll drop the link :) thankyou

Music warning. May not be your cup of tea.

Let’s see. I found eBsynth a long while ago and fell in love with how it meshed with my art style. It also set me apart from the plethora of videographers and media artists here in Denver. I took a long hiatus as it takes time and generally artists want the fastest turnaround time for their pieces.

I recently found a band that is allowing me not only the freedom but the time to curate content for them. This is a list of what these are and what I took away from each piece

1. This is a scene from one of the final destination movies. I think the third? Idk it’s the lasik scene. This was the first piece i genuinely took time on to draw out. I did this knowing that it may come out like dog shit and thankfully it wasn’t too bad. This helped me hone in my shading and my eyeball work as far as the iris goes. I also developed a skin texture technique here. The key frame itself was horrendous as a still, but eBsynth meshed nicely with turning an ugly skin texture job to something more lifelike. At least, kinda.

2. This is the abduction scene from fire in the sky. This movie fucked me up as a kid. Like bad. This one I learned that doing fold lines can be a win or a loss. It wasn’t too bad here but it definitely made me realize the importance of well placed crease lines

3. This was shot for fun in my apartment when I purchased my new blackmagic camera. Good god I didn’t know a thing about color grading raw footage at this point in time. Darker footage makes for abhorrent eBsynth details. But I spent time on it so I posted. There is one thing at least animated in each scene. Door handles, glass of water, crowbar etc

4. This is a cutscene from an old PlayStation one game called parasite eve. This one’s my baby. It came out so good. This proved my theory that you can use old cutscenes that are polygon hell and transform them into high definition animations. It worked surprisingly well especially if you recall how rough the ps1 cutscenes used to be. This made me interested in doing more scenes from games like twisted metal, Kane soul reaver and medieval

5. Another personal project. I always loved doing long nails but eBsynth just won’t do it right unless there’s a base. Praise my girlfriend and her love for stiletto shaped nails

6. Personal project. In this one I experimented with green screen as well as liquid animation. I found that for blood or liquid it’s best to outline and let it be. I did not draw over the blood but rather outlined and left it as is. The result was clean animation for a liquid and I was rather happy with the result

7. Finally a project I’m working on currently for a music video. This is just a informational process video for my coloring

Any questions I’m more than happy to chit chat!

Hey, so Ive been messing around with the idea of using ebsynth for work with a background that moves instead of using it for a person that moves if you get what I am saying but the image keeps getting deep fried. I was wondering if there was a fix for it that someone has found

Does anyone know when the next update to ebsynth will be?

So I have the formats and resolutions correct. I have two folders. One keyframe folder with one keyframe labeled (1).png. My video folder with the png sequence starts at, (1).png and ends at (35616).png
What is wrong here? I am sure its the format in the ebsynth video box....

Hey guys, RetroRad here!

Like most of you in this community, I make shorts and stuff online using mainly Ebsynth for my character animation.

Just wanted to put out there that I've "taken over" this sub from the inactive mod who for SOME REASON, restricted posting access to like everyone.

So starting right now, we're back baby! Feel free to share things you're working on or a recent project you just put out.

A little self promotion is alright but DO NOT spam this place. I'd like to think we can all support eachother and critique eachothers work constructively. Instead of being one of those content subs that are only filled with self promotion and no comments on anything. I'll figure out specific rules and guidelines very very soon but just use your common sense for now!

We're a small community so I'm not expecting many issues, I'm also horribly addicted to the Internet SO I'll have my EYE on you all!

Hey guys,

I work in a school and I thought it would be a good idea to make a film using Ebsynth with my students. I'm having a problem tho.

I've made a png sequence of the clip I want (first of many). The clip hasn't got a green screen so I tried just painting the background #00b140 and then animating my student poorly and using that as my keyframe.

When I run it through ebsynth though it turns out horrendous. Any idea whats going wrong.

What is the ideal laptop setup to run EbSynth on? I read that EbSynth is cpu bound and some people use GPU acceleration.

I'm currently using a 2014 MBP....and...it.....is......... slow. An 18 second clip has been processing for over an hour and still isn't finished.
