How to animate fire Step 1: Get a reference, you can get a picture, or gif, but a real life reference is usually the best for understanding how anything looks. It’s easy! Just set your house on fire! Step 2: Now that your house is on fire, be sure to animate quickly before you pass out from smoke inhalation. Step 3: Just as everything is about to go dark, if you haven’t already fire proofed your computer, then be sure to save your animation to something online, like cloud storage, or through an email. Step 4: When you (hopefully) wake up after being rescued by your local firefighters and find your (hopefully) finished animation. Good job! Step 5: Spend years in prison for arson after the police investigations discover that you were the cause of the fire.
Dude- I'm a student in school at the Art Institute here in KC for animation. We're currently studying the elements and our assignment is to do a comp of fire, smoke, and water. Lemme tell you, man; your concept on elements actually makes it really easy to understand. It was super helpful for my flame animation. Thanks so much.
I love the fire animation at the very beginning. Reminds me of the One Punch Man battle style animations. Very sketchy, but very good at showing raw power. Love it great tutorial
hey Howard. i just want to say thank you so much!!. i'm starting to feel really really happy with my animations because i've been watching your animation tutorials every day for a while. my fire animations and my short animations look and feel more like me. thank you so much!!
You migrating to TvPaint really made a difference in your style. I think your animations feel a lot more natural and more YOU, if that makes sense? Also incredible tutorial, really planned out and thoughtful. Thank you! Here's a question for you; do you have any tips on animating water/bubbles? For example I have a character who's drowning in water like liquid in my thesis film, what can I do to make the animation feel like she's drowning?
Get the crack I got animate cc and tvpaint latest versions with a crack,long ago tho But be careful,dont get some random website you dont know if there's a virus
Hello Howard, i have started to work on my own animation/movie Project recently and there is one thing that i struggle with while colouring. How colours behave in certain enviroments. For example: A red apple doesnt look the same at night as it does at daytime. This makes it difficult for me to intigrate my characters into the background. A tutorial for something like that would really help me.
try using masks! draw your thing, put a solid layer on it lín purple f.e. for night time, put it on multiply, and then erase out the spots where light is. that way you can manipulate the colours without ruining your original file!
Good job man, I keep seeing Flames that look like sand being blasted or liquid squirmy flames that do the worm 🪱 all day, it hurts to watch but you, i think you got it, Not too many people care enough to actually “Understand” Natural physics, good job, ✌🏽.
Hey man, Great video! Me and my friend are working on a school project and we've been using your video as inspiration. We love the art and would like to recreate something similar. However, we are wondering what software you're working in, which brushes you're using (unless they're already in the program) and where to download them. Huge thanks in advance! //Ludvig and Matilda, the confused but enthusiastic 18-year olds :)
Very helpful tutorial. Tysm! Though can you make a video about how to animate smokes? I want to learn and animate it recently and some tutorials I've watched is very complicated to me and Im using a simple animation program on my phone. Tysm if youre reading this ^^
OverwatchAR get Flash if your just starting with animation. But if your trying to go professional tv paint may be the better option after you're experienced with animation.
Is using reference for animating cheating? Like I noticed my animations are a looottt better if I use reference and basically copy the positions of the body I'm animating. Not rotoscoping, but copying the movement's look and timing, and then adding onto the movement to stylize it. Should my goal as an animator be to animate something without reference and have it look good?
Nothing wrong with shooting your own reference and using it to inform your work, in fact I would advise it. If you use someone elses work as reference make sure that it is transformed beyond recognition, otherwise make sure to credit them and ask for permission if it looks similar!
About the SOFTWARE I use in the video: A huge amount of my production involves Adobe CC (my affiliate link tinyurl.com/v7fvqgo) I use Adobe photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, Audition and sometimes Animate. I would be nowhere without these softwares. You can get them all with a comfortable monthly subscription, or you can get subscriptions to individual plans. Check them out and see what works for you. The main software I'm using to actually animate frame by frame is called TVPaint. Here's more information on that: www.tvpaint.com/ It's a great software :) And if you need a Graphics tablet, I highly recommend this one for you ballers out there: geni.us/vy8xUZB It's the best tablet money can buy :) And here's a great low-low cost alternative: geni.us/LLYv
Sorry but I still don't understand Nevermind At first I said I dont understand without even trying it And now that I've tried it I can finally kinda make fire for the first time :) Before I was struggling so much to make some simple fire
@Howard_Wimshurst can i ask you to animate something, you will have rights to the video. I just really want someone to animate something for me and everyone else to see. Let me know if your interested!
Hello,you might have already figured out,but just in case. This is TVPaint 11 or 10 (both are good) but its not free,this software is really expensive but you can get the crack like i did.
