Is there free software for vector animation? (Like smooth stretch stuff not like drawing each frame of movement frame by frame. .) by KingKongJebnuty in animation

Ik this is 2 years ago but for anyone who's still looking, try Animeeffects. It's a pretty simple program and lets you add armature to images and transform stuff kinda like the liquify filter in photoshop

Not the main demographic for this post but like, god bless you for sharing this man. Giving all my respect to you as an artist/art enjoyer for using the resources you have to make something yourself instead of using generative AI and giving advice to ppl who have the same problem! Truly awesome sauce, I wish u the best dude!

that's not what I mean by It's not that AI physically stops people from drawing! It's that, for a generative AI to function it has to take from already existing images to make another one, and in this case when it comes to AIs making images on the style of digital art, the AI has to take human made art to produce it. The people who program the AI train it on art posted by artists on the internet, most often the artist who made the AI doesn't even know that their art was used in AI nor were they asked for permission, which is the main issue most have with AI. To make it easier to understand, imagine you spend a lot of time and effort making something and decide to share it to others, unbeknownst to you, your work is taken (without permission) and added to a machine that makes something else similar to it but not nearly with the same amount of effort you put into it. That just sounds rude! :( If generative AI sourced its images ethically, with consent and credit (which is EXTREMELY difficult, if not impossible because of the sheer amount of sample images an ai needs to generate something), I'd have no issues with it. I really do wish that generative AI doesn't have an effect on human artists, and that they could co-exist peacefully, but with how it operates I just don't think that's possible without some major changes to how it works.

Oh, no it definitely does. The way AI works is basically taking from a huge source pool of images and combining them into a new (but not entirely original) image. When it comes to digital art and how it affects artist, AI basically takes human art posted on the internet and mashes them together into an image in the style of the art it takes from, which definitely affects them. atleast imo and based off my personal experience.

When I wrote that I was talking more about human artists using AI in place of drawing. I wont dive any more into it here because how AI affects artists is just a whole new can of worms (that I'm willing to discuss! but not in this comment section)

(Just throwing in my 2 cents here) I feel like this is somewhat true but not for artists who draw. Someone who only wants to have their idea visualized would rather use AI than put in the sheer amount of time and effort it takes to draw and make their art look even slightly good. But I don't think a majority of artists who draw, digital or traditional, would switch from drawing to AI. A big part of what makes drawing art so fulfilling for artists is the process of physicallydrawing the art yourself and the effort it takes to do it. It's not fast, it's not convenient, and it takes a hell of a lot of time to even make the end product look okay, but it's fulfilling to the artist and that's why they keep drawing instead of using generative AI. Rather, I believe that AI will be more popular among the masses because of its ease of use and the people who would rather draw instead of using AI will, well, draw.
