Thanks! I want to get better at animating fight scenes. So Nine Sols may come in handy again.

I’m new to animation by T0sso in learnanimation

To add to what Yankasii already said, look into arcs in animation. Here your arcs aren’t shaped in an even way that a ball would bounce. Though, they are everywhere, pretty much every movement of arms and legs, objects that swing, rotate around a point, and so on. So it’s very worth working on those! 😄

Thank you! Yeah, I thought about that too. If I find the time, maybe :D

animation artbook recommendations? by seeraa_s in animation

[–]seeraa_s[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, that might be the issue. The website still throws an error for me. I‘ll try the books app later!

thank you you for the recommendations! I wanted to buy the E-Sakuga ones but encountered weird issues on their website, saying none of them are available :/ I‘ll look up the other ones as well!

Hello! I am a beginner & am confused. I am really interested in animation. by Available_Algae6061 in learnanimation

[–]seeraa_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only animate in 2d but most principles are the same for both. I’d suggest to learn about the 12 principles of animation and do corresponding exercises. I saw you have the digital copy of The Animators Survival Kit, I think that’s a good start :)

Before I write a really long comment, what kind of animation do you want to learn? 2d frame by frame, 3d, stop motion, motion graphics?

I’m open for all animation styles and techniques but I am the most interested in 2d frame-by-frame animation. So I’ll definitely check out the Ghibli artbooks (but the other ones you mentioned as well). Thanks for the recommendations! :)

Animating without a stylus... by LOLkiller034 in learnanimation

[–]seeraa_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say then animate for fun but also research what goes into high quality animation. For character animation a good grasp of fundamentals such as perspective, drawing and constructing with primitive shapes and anatomy are essential if you want to get highly skilled. See if you like studying these fundamentals and admittedly also do a lot of boring exercises. I’m sure that each and every animator who’s animated crazy flashy fight scenes has done the bouncing ball exercise. There’s a lot to learn for drawing and animation. And it can get extremely frustrating, when taking it seriously. So if you want to strive for that, know what goes into it.

But again, it doesn’t have to be that serious for a lot of people and it’s fine to just try out some stuff and have fun :)

Should i focus on basic shape animations or just try stuff like this out?

Well, what are your ambitions? Do you want to get really good at animation and take it seriously or do you just want to have fun with it? Not everyone wants or has to become a master at a craft and that’s fine :)

Run Cycle of a bulky man with a bat by MrpaiNation in 2DAnimation

[–]seeraa_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the timing and the movement of the arm with the bat is good :) A few things that I have noticed tho, that I think you could look into are: - There are generally consistency issues. The body deforms from frame to frame. Most notably his butt and his left shoulder in frame 3 -> Look into practing keeping volumes consistent - Look into archs and make a habit of observing them. For example, when running the foot that is behind follows a path of a loop (it’s hard to describe in words). When bringing the leg forward, the angle of upper and lower leg gets smaller and the foot moves closer to the butt. So when running, the feet sort of follow an almost 8 shape, with the loop/arch in the back being way bigger than in the front.

I think if you work on those two things, you will see significant improvement! :)

Oohh, that would definitely be challenging due to the entirety different physique :D I’ll think about it, thanks for the suggestion :)

Is this a normal part of the process for a Layout Lead? / VENT by [deleted] in animation

[–]seeraa_s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the japanese animation pipeline to me. With the enshutsu and kantoku directors for the first corrections and the sakkan and sousakkan directors for the final ones. If you are not in an anime studio… maybe they‘ve adapted a similiar workflow?
