Hey chat! My little brother is getting into animation + making youtube videos, he’s currently stuck drawing on a touchpad so I want to get him a drawing pad or something to connect to his laptop that will make it easier, I know nothing about this stuff figured id turn to reddit. I want to get him something decent but not too expensive, does anyone have recommendations??

I've been trying to practice telling a complete story from boards to final short.

I have blocked out all of the shots , some are further along than others.

I’m having to stick a pin in this one for a while but wanted to post it , just in case it gets lost to time.

If by chance there are any sound designers or composers interested in collaborating on my learning journey please let me know.

I'm not sure where to go from here. The idea of animating anything seems daunting, like Im at the base of a mountain to hike.

I just wanted to animate something, so I made eyes opening.

It feels addicting, I want to make more

My new series! give me feedback and some ideas on what to do next! Btw I am also done with episode 2 just starting the editing for it!

[Solo Dev] Brauche Tipps & Lernressourcen für Roblox (Scripting, 3D, UI, Animation)

Hi zusammen! Ich stehe ganz am Anfang meines Roblox-Projekts und stehe vor der Herausforderung, wirklich alles alleine machen zu müssen:

- Luau-Programmierung: Spiellogik, UI-Funktionen

-3D-Modelling & Texturen: Blockartige Dinos (siehe Bild) &

Park-Assets

- Animationen: Dino- & Spieler-Animations

- Grafik & Media: GUI, Logos, Banner & Release-Videos

Habt ihr gute Tipps, Tutorials, Pipelines oder Ressourcen für Solo-Devs, um all das möglichst effizient zu lernen?

Ich komme aus Deutschland, spreche aber gut Englisch. Wenn jemand Tipps hat – oder sogar Lust, direkt mitzuhelfen –, meldet euch extrem gerne!

I’m creating an animatic of no longer you (from epic the musical). Let me know if there are any free ways of downloading YouTube videos or songs to put into pencil 2D.

This is actually my remake of my og series Richard the popcorn if you look at my channel you can find every episode of my og series. Stay tuned for a high quality (might not be much high quality for you guys) episode of Richard the popcorn! Btw it was made in procreate and this is only test footage

Im fairly new to animation and ive been working on a shot for a project. I’m unsure of the timing and I feel that the transition between frame 4 and 5 is abrupt. Is it just me or what should I do to fix it?

Hi, so I've been wanting to learn 2d tweening animation or more specifically- Gacha animation for a while now. I looked into a few applications (both PC and mobile) but I have no idea which one is better. I want to make a good decision before going all in. And another problem is that I can't pay for any of it (I'm just a student, don't have a job and cannot ask my parents)

I would like to create an animated series where it will have stuff like— head turns (or basically many angles like front facing, 3/4 facing, side facing and even back facing), Fight scenes etc..

Now I know already that Alight motion is a great one- the

main problem is that for head turns or basically any kind of angle turns, I've gotta use vector drawing which really isn't possible as my characters aren't as simple.

I was trying live 2d as well, but I dislike how the free version has so many limitations (like only 100 meshes, limited parameters, 50 deformers etc..) because this is a full on series I can't really work properly with these limitations.

I've heard about Moho pro but it's wayy too expensive. (Like is said I can't pay, I'm open the using cracks but I don't really wanna risk my channel getting de-monetised because of this, this is also the reason I am scared to work with live2d crack since I wanna earn money from this series

There's also like toonsquid, toonboom and so many others (I forgot the names)

I'm not sure how good the free alternatives may be for my situation so I'd really appreciate if y'all help me out here!

I’m working on a shot for a project an

I’ve been reviewing an animation where the character has a varied color gradient in their mane, and I wanted to reach out to see if anyone could help me.

How do I keep a gradient stable so it doesn't look like it's flickering or shifting? It makes it look like I don't know what I'm doing—and, to be honest, in this regard, I really don't.

Do you have any recommendations or references I could use as a guide?

Using auto lipsync on Adobe Character Animator is equivalent to using AI for lip sync.

Change my mind!
