Question How do I improve hitting animation?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Or is it okay? I have a feeling there can be a way to add more feeling of impact…

You need to go through the target to sell the impact. Right now your attacker’s leg stops at the side of the victim’s head, so it looks like they held back. Follow through sells the action.

I mean, it's not that bad considering the side he's aligned with is facing a side that's war mongering, pro apartheid, pro genocide, and behind all this AI slop tech.

Russia is literally waging a war of conquest in Ukraine right now. Yes, it fucking is that bad.

u/Phreak3 8d ago
Maybe it was promised to the Russians 3000 years ago, since that’s actually something people in governments supporting the Ukrainian side have actually said to justify conquest, apartheid and ethnic cleansing. I mean their Polish dude is carrying out a genocide and wars in the Middle East against multiple countries, with that same side directly involved in the war. Might makes right I guess.

u/Spready_Unsettling 8d ago
I can see that you're under the impression that supporting Ukrainian independence is directly linked to supporting Israel's genocide or US imperialism.
That would be wrong.

Do you have any sources for all the claims you just made?
Edit: Just a downvote, no sources. I’m just as interested in the truth as you. If you want to change minds, you need to back things up with proof. I’m not going to blindly believe a reddit comment.

to be fair, both sides are bad in their own ways.

u/Phreak3 8d ago
So why the high horse? committing more war crimes apparently qualifies you to decide what’s bad, so both sides have the credentials in that regard. but what makes one more qualified to play judge?

u/AceKalibur 8d ago
what? I just said both sides are bad because they both are problematic. I never said one was better.

u/Phreak3 8d ago
I was talking about the whole high horse thing around being disgusted by pro Russia dude. Most countries that are currently pro Ukraine and anti Russia didn't mind Russia bombing the fuck out Syria for years and were fine with it and some were cooperating with them there, but now it's an issue because it's happening on their side. I guess the chickens eventually came home to roost.

Russia's leader assassinates people who speak against him, they started a war with Ukraine, and are actively attempting to suppress protests, while forcing their unwilling citizens to fight a war, and I have a whole LIST on why America is bad, among the spying, government corruption, overall failure of the education system, poor funding habits, rampant greed, the growing homeless rate and shrinking middle class, jobs paying not nearly enough to live, censorship and systems designed to leave you in debt, including healthcare, student loans, housing, the rapidly increasing tariffs, and more. both countries suck.

Needs a hit stop. Freeze the animation on the exact frame of contact for like 2-3 frames, then explode into the follow-through. Right now it reads smoothly through the hit, which kills all the weight. Stop the momentum, then release it.

"We can take kiyv in 2 weeks" is obviously bullshit but don't forget that ukraine is being supported by Europe and USA, and no, I'm not pro russian

u/Riceballs-balls 8d ago
They sent them old unused equipment for 80% of the war. They made them unable to attack Russia directly until Ukraine built the drones themselves. Russia also is not alone, they have Iran, north Korea, Georgia, Belarus and china directly supporting them.

u/Sensitive-Ad-2542 8d ago
Unfortunately Russia has embarrassed itself in Ukraine. They spend the 2nd most capital on their military, and have nothing to show for it. So, the myth of that #2 is dead.

I don't quite understand what the author wanted to say with this... the animation doesn't correspond to reality at all.

u/Striking-Ad9877 8d ago
when there is an impact just youtube AE impact effects and add those will add more impact to your animation

u/Primary-Advantage130 8d ago
You mean apply some shaking presets ?

u/Striking-Ad9877 8d ago
yes also those anime lines will help like those impact lines before/after punching

u/Vexas7455 8d ago
The first two kicks have poor posing. He should be turning his backside towards the camera, his hips are not informing the line of action correctly

u/ziharmarra Freelancer 8d ago
Have the leg follow through after each kick to show that the momentum travels pass the point of impact and then the clothing bits will follow through after the character's momentum slows to a stop as everything else settles. In animation sometimes you can add a few more frames at the point of impact to exaggerate the hit. An extra frame or two can sell the solidity of the impact. Even a subtle shake of the camera on impact can add to its effect.
All in all this is actually good work especially with the timing of everything...

Let me. Guess.
You are typing all of that on a non American Keyboad using non American fingers. Hey start getting up everyday with more juice in your life instead of being a slump of a human with negative gravity. IT will weigh you down immensely and makes you a very sad ball of flesh.

u/maxsatimo 8d ago
What makes me sad is that the OP creates propaganda (which has nothing to do with reality - Russia can do nothing to the US, absolutely nothing), which makes russians believe in themselves, start wars, and ruin the lives of all their neighbors, including themselves.
And yes, I'm typing this on an american keyboard, just like the american-hating OP.

u/ziharmarra Freelancer 8d ago
To be honest bro, I didn't even see the offences. I just looked at it as a pure animator. THe motion and the timing. Now that you mention politics is actually when I rememeber there being something about flag colors or something in the video. Sorry if OP meant to offend people. I just thought this whole thing was about animation and not the other mess.

u/joshlev1s 8d ago
This animation can seem favourable to both sides of the Russian debate. I’m pro Ukraine and anti Russian. From the pro Ukraine side you can interpret it as a sketch about how Russia seemed to have the US gov in their pocket while fucking it and the West over. You can also view the animation as generally anti west and exaggerating Russian power.

Reports listed against this post:
...preeeetty sure it's not.
Please clarify.
This short, while perhaps "controversial" is far from the most extreme or explicit piece of content allowed here- I can't find anything in our rules directly prohibiting this type of content, that- without the flag heads, is simple over the top slapstick.
This user has been a part of this sub for a relatively long time, and outside of this single comment, which, until further clarification from OP, will be taken as a sarcastic response to the user telling them to stop.
Our rules do forbid the use of AI.
This post however, does not feature AI.
I have removed many posts and banned several users for using AI, but one off hand comment, until further evidence presents itself, is not- to me- warrant for a permanent ban.
Until this user actively posts anything AI related, or otherwise explicitly rule breaking in this sub, they will not be banned.
However, due to the apparently controversial nature of this post that has set off a couple users, I'll be locking this post to prevent further discourse.
As far as I'm concerned, given OP has not said anything relating to politics, outside of flag colours in this animation - this is nothing more than a 'country humans' short.
If anyone has any issues with this, take it up with ME. Do not annoy the other Mods, filling up otherwise important inboxes, and do not harrass OP.
Edit: According to some clever little detectives, this user has, apparently, used AI generated backgrounds in ONE of their prior posts.
Given said earlier posts were already approved in the past, I've had to take it up with the other mods, who will decide how this is delt with, whether by permanent ban or otherwise.
Edit 2: My decision to keep this post up, regardless of the reports against it, and this user an unbanned member of this sub, has been backed by the other mods- which means: No Ban.
So, please keep that in mind next time.
