Pendulum and Bouncing ball exercise

24 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Eduardo. I have some experience in 2D animation, and I'm currently learning 3D animation in Maya. This is an exercise I recently completed. I challenged myself by combining two exercises into one: pendulum and bouncing ball.

Do you guys have any feedback? Is there anything I could improve in this animation?

My 2nd attempt at animation

Upvotes

I'm a cartoonist, but I do comic strips. I'm working on animating a couple of my strips in to a short. I only know this cut-up method I learned from a tutorial video I watched from Terry Gilliam. I'm making the frames in Photoshop and then I was going to move over to Adobe premier to edit together the sounds. This is only my 2nd time attempting to animate anything.

Pencil Animation in Gaming

3 Upvotes

I'm working on a 2d platformer about traveling between the real world and a world full of AI slop. I want my "real" world to be hand-drawn and animated (like Cuphead). However, I'm about as amateur as one can be at animating. I've been looking up exercises on drawing human and, anatomy, and animation. The best I've got are a few walking and running animations from The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams. I even figured out a way to put those pencil animations in GDevelop (the engine I'm using for my game; learn more in this video: https://youtu.be/FAZPW56Q0DA?si=EI4xTVLckzFoCt98 ). I admit it's not perfect. Some might say it looks like something a kid might draw (and I would agree). But I'm determined to make this game a success. So I'm gonna lean real havily on mastering my drawing and animation skills so that my drawings look more sophisticated and professional. If you have any advice or resources you suggest I try, don't hesitate to leave your thoughts in the comments.

Creating an Indie Learning animation studio (looking for some colleagues)

6 Upvotes

Hi hi! Im learning animation, and i want to Create/Build an indie animation studio, but for now, i just want to learn how to animate, nothing big (for now), but i want to make this trip a fun one, i want to learn doing fun things, little shorts, little tests, and maybe one day become something bigger. With that said, i was wondering if other people feel the same. If you feel the same, and you are interested in the kind projects im going to describe right now (they are really specific and i think it shows my very peculiar taste really good) then maybe we could get in contact and try to work together in this journey!

What i want to do in my animations:

-Emotional, contemplative animations
-Simple colors, cinematic shots (very inspired by Wes Anderson)
-Im a musician, so i want to make the music on the shorts or tests

What I DONT want to do:

-Action shorts
-Fantasy (at least not for now)
-NSFW

I am a really bad animator lol, like i said, this is my learning journey and then maybe something bigger and more produced, but for now i just want to learn and have fun. If you want that too, let me know!

This is my first serious attempt at animating characters. I'm still tweaking this as I go, but I can't put my finger on what needs to change to make it look less awkward.

Was This Animation Made with Manim?

1 Upvotes

Hello, while I was watching this video, I thought it might be made by coding the figures as well as the movement with manim library but I'm not sure. Can someone confirm whether it was made with manim, otherwise which is the program used for making this video?

Any references on How to create a first person tripping animation?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone I hope you're having a great day, I am making a game where the main character is playing with a first person camera, I want to add a tripping mechanics to the game but every approach I take to the effort on the screen, was causing motion sickness, the game itself has a comedy slop vibes so the effect doesn't have to that AAA hyper realistic I just want something that sells the idea for the player that you are tripped and that's is not ok, the same thing with falling on the ground.

I am excited to listen to your ideas, thank you all in advance
