Link pixel art but 8 years later (animation)
มุมมอง 2.1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
8 years ago, I was just starting out in pixel art. Crazy it's been that long. I didn't know any animation principles, and I think I was still animating in Photoshop (yuck). Since then, I've learned a lot, I've done hundreds of more animations, and I've studied the art of smooth movements. Possibly the title of a future book. And so here's my attempt at the same animation 8 years later, with all...
How to Stop Wasting Time With Your Work

I'm noticing my videos becoming more and more about how to be lazy, and I'm fine with that. But yeah, I'm getting increasingly used to hearing myself say "Save time" and "waste of energy". It's important. You've got stuff to do. I've got stuff to do. How much do we want to be slumped over our desks during the day? Personally, as few hours as possible.

What is Anticipation REALLY?
มุมมอง 8872 หลายเดือนก่อน
Anticipation. It's one of animation's core 12 (or however many) principles. In recent pieces I've reviewed, I see many people underusing it. The character will go from completely static straight into action without any time for the audience to get ready. Here's the thing, getting ready is such a big part of the experience. It charges it up. It builds hype. It gets everybody's attention and make...

For many, this will be obvious. It might be that you should be doing less of what I mention here, for instance, if you're on the more extroverted side. (Go work on something alone for longer than 5 minutes) But I'd recommend this for those like me, who naively believe they can get far by simply getting better at their craft.

Easing | Animation Principles
มุมมอง 3.6K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
A lot of poor animation is a consequence of non-existent easing. Everything's stiff and linear. It's in learning to implement some easing that we can make our stuff look a bit more lively. Because nothing with any soul moves without it. We speed up, slow down. Accellarate, deaccelarate. Yadadada. The only thing that moves in a calculated and linear way is robots, which, unless you're animating ...

    I think this is a good idea, though I feel like you might end up making a lot of stuff you won't end up using. Personally, I would instead look through the assets I already have and see if I can modify any of them into the the I want. I'd rather figure out what I need as I progress making my game. I can then add that new thing to my toolbox. Think my approach saves more time, though I can see the benefit of making varients in the moment

    • @nootall
      @nootall 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah that would be a more sensible approach, I suppose it depends on how you best work! For me, momentum is a big thing. If Im rolling and in the swing of things, it's easier to just produce a big pile of things at once and then leave out the bits I don't want to use. Otherwise, I'm doing a lot of back and forth, stopping and starting, that id ideally avoid

    I always thought I was the only one doing this sprite recycling. One of my favs was a spiky sentinal enemy i created by combining some some crystal spike tileset with a metal pipe lol A great side effect to this is that your assets look very consistent in game since they are basically all derivatives of each others base forms and colors. great video

Only did 1-3 pics a YEAR on Gimp, across 12 years. Gave up on trying animation. Aseprite separating frames from layers helps infinitely! And link cells are the cherry on top. Sooo much easier than learning animation off just frames. It took me 17 hours to make a 20s animation, but I'm proud of the result and I'm learning how to be more efficient as I go!

    Yeah, stuff like fonts exist for this reason. I think its fine to start reusing ecycling at the point where u start to think about your current work more as of self-repeating hellish boredom rather than actual way to improve your skills and bring something new to life.

      Yeaah palettes are a great example. Which brings up another point of continuity. If you're running around picking colours like a mad man, nothing's gonna feel together. Likewise, If Im creating everything from scratch every time, the consistency is gradually going to steer off. I.e. what I did at the start of the project is going to look different to the work I did at the end of the project (I've suffered from that a lot). But yeah, colours are for sure good to recycle
