Hi, I am currently in a school to learn 3D animation, so I am looking to buy an efficient PC for this kind of task, already assembled because I don't know anything about it and which would be as cheap as possible, around 1000e, not counting what goes with it like the screen or the rest. So could someone advise me on what I should look for to find what I'm looking for or tell me what component I should pay attention to when I'm searching please that would help me a lot.

This is messy and I can't work out the fix. Already set the keyframes and tried to transition smoothly but that didn't work so I'm kinda stuck on it

Would appreciate some specific things on poses

Hi, I have been struggling to find any resources to animate in the same way that games like Neva or Seasons after Fall does. I love how lineless and stylized it looks and feels, and I don't know where to start to learn how they accomplished something like that. Any tips are appreciated.

Hi! I am posting to find study partners in animation(preferably in 2d). I am looking for people who are more or less close to my level of skills(as demonstrated in the reel below) or of devotion, to support each other in providing feedbacks and encouragement. Currently I'd appreciate a group of no more than 4 ppl, as I get shy with a bigger group and less active in participating which defies the original goal. I will update this post when I find my study partners

I am a (mostly)self taught 2d animator currently based in New York. I have a background in design and illustration but has been struggling to learn 2d animation systematically. After much efforts into personal projects through out the past 4 years I have decided to be fully invested, with a focus on character animation.

The reasons that I am trying to get a limited number of study partners, instead of looking for other ways to have a community are as follow:

1. I see few 2d animation classes that aim for intermediate level. The ones that do are non-interactive(such as the colosso courses, they have great teachers with up-to-date industry skillset but the courses are delivered as recorded videos)

2. I personally is more engaged in a smaller group, as opposed to the discourse groups where there's way too many ppl posting and texting. I can totally see the benefits of a community as such but it's not the best for me.

3. At this stage of my semi-professional study I have come to the conclusion that the resource out there and determination combined is enough for a person to get to professional level. Still it would be extra uplifting to have a few people whom I get to know personally while working at our goals in the same field. Having just graduated from school I still miss the vibe of working alongside people, even if we are working of different things.

If you have read though the post you would probably have an idea if I am the right study buddy for you. Please don't hesitate to reach out! Since I have never done this with strangers online before we can first team up before deciding on the specifics on the approach and frequency of contact.

This is my first post in Reddit. Please let me know if anything is inappropriate.

Hey everyone,

It’s been years since I discovered my passion for storytelling and bringing stories to life through animation. I’ve spent a lot of time researching how animations are made and understanding the production pipeline, but I still find myself unsure about where to begin.

I know the process involves writing stories, designing characters, and creating storyboards, but honestly, I feel a bit lost. One challenge I face is that I’m not great at drawing or character design, which makes things even more confusing.

That said, I do have some stories that I believe are worth animating. I just need to figure out the right starting point. If anyone has advice or suggestions, I’d love to hear them!

Beginner here, just wondering when do I animate on ones, twos or threes, like what effects do they give to the animation? How do I decide whether a scene or motion should be animated on ones instead of twos?

Thanks.

Hello! I've been wanting to make 2D animations with rigging and turnarounds but, I don't know what program I should use. I do have Blender but I find it's 2D features a bit frustrating. I would like to find a 2D rigging program that's easy for a beginner to use, but not a really expensive or pay monthly thing. What would you recommend? Please and thank you!

I mostly use blender but I don't know how to do much with it, so I've mostly been doing all the compositing work in my animation software up until now (I always wondered why everything took so long to render) - finally getting around to learning more about compositing and it seems like it'll make things so much easier, but I'm not sure which might be the best software to learn first

Blender seems really capable, but DaVinci Resolve seems good too. I might try Opentoonz since I just learned that can do compositing as well, but I don't want to try to learn too many at once. Any suggestions would help, especially if it's free/open-source since I can't afford after effects right now

the style is meant to be choppy but not bad, can't figure out what i'm missing

I had to convert AVI to MP4 and then to GIF because reddit doesn't accept minus 2 second videos lol

It might have differences from the original render

Anyway, followed Richard Williams's Timing and Spacing explanation on the book. Would appreciate feedback!

Sorry for the meta post, I'm just confused.

This is a sub to learn animation, and sometimes when I help people it's just easier to show what I mean rather than explain it. But on this sub, you cannot post images in comments, which means you need to use an image host, which is a little annoying and can be discouraging from helping.

Is there a reason why this sub doesn't allow posting pics in comments? Is it conceivable to think about allowing it?
