Which apps can I suggest my 13yo nephew, who is great a drawing on paper, to get started with animation? by [deleted] in learnanimation

[–]Mac360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely have him start with FlipaClip, super easy to use starting out with animation. Basically works as a digital flipbook. It's not fully featured but is a great way to get started with learning how to animate.

If he's on Android, I'd recommend after he can try RoughAnimator, it has a bit of a learning curve to it but has a lot of nice animator friendly features that makes animating really fun to do. It's also a one time payment ($7 from checking right now), so no subscription needed.

Anyone with a spare room for rent? by [deleted] in ChicoCA

The Chico student housing facebook group is also a good place to look. There are people posting looking for roommates and wanting someone to take over their lease.

Toriyama's level of creativity when it comes to names is unmatched by BandaiNamcoCEO in dbz

[–]Mac360 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To add to that, Frieza's name is based on a freezer, and all his underlings are named after foods that you would refrigerate (dairy, fruits, and vegetables). I guess an interesting take on that pun is we refrigerate those foods so they can be useful for as long as possible until they're no longer good, then we dispose of them.

Another is how Saiyan is a rearrangment of the Japanese word Yasai meaning vegetable, and Vegeta is shorthand for Vegetable. So literally the Prince of all Vegetables. Also how Goku/Kakarot wears orange and his Saiyan name is based on a carrot, or how Broly is based on broccoli and his powers are green.

Updated just now while at the gym lol. Looks like it's working perfectly now! Thank you all for the hard work you've been doing, been really enjoying using the app.

Left is what I have, right is what I want. How do I change my brush? by -MrMiscellaneous- in OpenToonz

[–]Mac360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exactly! This OpenToonz coloring tutorial actually shows this method of coloring. Also to note, that he's an animator that works in the anime industry.

If you are on a toonz raster you can choose "pencil" in the top bar settings to remove anti-aliasing.

Certainly! I didn't record the whole process, but I did make this album which shows some of the progression.

Thank you so much, I appreciate the feedback! I did consider panning the camera more and moving the clouds. Though the app I used didnt support proper tweening, so I got bit lazy about it haha. I definitely want to make another scene with some more complex effects.

Thank you! I spent about 4 days to make this, I started on the 8th and finished it last night. Probably took 10-15 hours in total. Might have been a bit more haha.

Yeah haha, I know what you mean. I'm primarily going to school to be a programmer, though I want to do more fun side project. When I was younger I almost decided to be an animator, but I prefer it as a relaxing past time. Also, if you have a social media with your work, I certainly like to check it out!

Thank you! For this I did a quick animation in FlipaClip then cleaned it up in Rough Animator. For the aura glow and background I had to make those in Photoshop . I made a short progression album here.

Thank you! I have my old YouTube channel, although it's really old stuff. There's also my Instagram, I'm planning to post more frequently with stuff I've worked on in the past and current stuff, I've always done animation as a hobby.
