(Opentoonz Tutorial) Simple Puppet Animation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- I did a new tutorial, this time for Opentoonz! It's just a simple tutorial for basic puppet animation with the Plastic Tool (similar to After Effects puppet animation).
I do a simple idle animation in the video, but hopefully it helps you get started to do more complex things too :D
0:00 Intro
0:16 - Setting up
1:49 - Building the puppet
3:12 - Animating the puppet
7:12 - Exporting
Opentoonz is totally open-source, so anyone can download it for free! If you want to, you can download it here: opentoonz.github.io/e/
Thanks for watchin! ^^ - บันเทิง
7:16 I love the tiny hint of panic as you switch your pronunciation of GIF.
Great tutorial video, thanks!
Even without trying to be in-character, your voice is adorable. :3
Just diving into Opentoonz, your tutorial is very helpful, thanks.
Same
How's it going?
as soon as I find my headphones imma use the hecc out of this
@not a banana probably bc I couldn't use the tutorial without headphones
Dude this is so useful!! I love your tutorials 0v0
The best complete tutorial and especially the last green screen part was awesome as I have been searching out ways to rander a transparent background in opentoonz so that I can easily use my characters many times.
this is the best tutorial I've encountered today. Thanks for making it looks easy to learn now! I managed to something like this after watching your video! again thank you !
Great explanation, takes out a lot of guess work and motivates me to jump into animating!
THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH THANK YOU.
Finally found the tutorial I was looking for, Thank you for doing this!
started opentoonz yesterday, thanks for the help!
Amazing tutorial! Thank you!
Your voice is so adorable! ^w^ 💙💙
Bruv this helped me more then most tutorials on open toonz teach me more , great one
You should make more Opentoonz tutorials. This was clear and well constructed. Very helpful -- thanks.
Nice video. Clear and concise.
Thanks man so clear and pleasant, you are vibing and I subscribed.
omg!! i was like new in this app and u helped me a lot tysmmm
THIS IS EVERYTHING I WAS LOOKING FOR THANKS😭
Dude that is freakn' awesome. Thanks!
You should move to Tahoma. It's an OpenToonz fork that contains a ton of bug fixes and some new features you may find useful. Most of your OT skills will transfer directly to Tahoma too, which is a nice bonus.
Very helpful! I will try tomorrow for the first time in my life!
ty for thisss i love ur work
This was very helpful, thank you kind stranger.
Been looking an entire day for this kind of video. Thank you alot man. top class video. I do wonder, do you have a video about how to make an effect of "talking mouth" for that kind of animation? (like.. same puppet only with talking mouth animation?). thank you once again.
aaa thank you for this
Thx u make it so easy to understand
I never knew, ty!
Nice tutorial that character reminds me of pinky and the rain I love the blue lineart
super helpful thank you
that's so cute!
not related to the tutorial but your drawing style is so cool I love it
AAAAAA You are sooooooooo good!
i loved the video thx men
thank you , its help me soooomuch . Good luck
Cutest tutorial on the web yeet
Thank you soo much much simpler then Adobe.
Nice,thank you!
Thanks for video!
great bro!!!!😁😁😁
Thank you for the tutorial, it's incredibly helpful.
Do you know if there's an option to "reset" the positions of the joints in the timeline ? I'd like to reset it if i ever forget to make a key beforehand.
:00000 tysm
your voice is different and adorable listens like its from nose but sounds great
Super
I am gonna use this for a game mod
Is this a raster level or a vector level? Great tutorial.Thanks.
I imported the image so it's raster I guess. But you can make a vector layer and still do this kind of puppet animation.
Just curious, what software do you use to create the drawings that you imported to animate. Is there a way to create a drawing in opentoonz that you can then just animate from there? I've been trying to find ways to do that but I keep getting error messages saying that the plastic tool can not be applied to a column. Any thoughts and help would be great!
I drew the pieces in Sai. If you're looking for something free, Krita is good, but there are a lot of other good free art programs.
Did you press "Create Mesh" before trying to animate with the Plastic Tool?
You can draw directly in OT, though I use Krita for stuff like concept art or character reference sheets.
Hey this is a very helpful video. What do you use to draw your characters in?
Mostly Sai but I use Krita for animations and vtuber rigs usually
Does it have pre installed puppets or do you have to make it from scratch
So to make things clear, when you build the bones, the image just bends according to it's direction?
Edit: So, in trying to rig my own puppet, I keep heading into some problems, like my pngs disappearing once I move them, to them being too big that I would run into the first problem
What if it doesn't give the suggestion to save the file as a gif or an mp4? How can I make it save as such?
Can you tell me how you can move the blink frame at 5:13? i couldn't move the frame on timeline
Are there any premade files I can use to test this? Also for a full character that would use multiple rigged poses, what's the best workflow?
I think the Level Strip window might be how people organzise their puppet assets?
Sorry I really don't do anything too complicated so I can't help too much, I know there are other tutorials that go more in-depth though. Maybe they have some files you can test with too?
@@SwerveAlec okay thanks, I'll do some digging
bwunni vibin!
U
I don't seem images when I drag and drop them into opentoonz.
opentoonz good
Okay so, I'm having trouble with animation. My character is just snapping by key frames and not smoothly moving how yours was, I followed step by step. Any advice?
can we have the lip sync tutorial in this animation with gesture and eyes blinking??? please :D
Maybe I could do that sometime ^^
I'm still a new born baby in using Opentoonz.
How do I import my drawings to use as puppets? Tryting to transition to opemtoonz and can't find out how
Just drag it , try Tahoma 2d
That was rly helpful
Can u tell me how to get 2d photos like that for free ?
You can draw them
I tried this and can't seem to get keyframes to work. Frequently if I change the skeleton in frame 9 e.g. it changes for all frames, even If I set a keyframe on frame one. But then sometimes it works. I can't figure out any rhyme or reason. Anyone seen that?
me too :( any help please
@@bayanihannetwork9312 Actually I eventually figured it out. I was setting keyframes in the table. However it didn't work until I went into the plastic tool (X), then chose animate, then right click on the skeleton and set a global key frame / global resting key frame to start with. After that I was able to animate the skeleton. The keyframes should be visible on the table column for the mesh layer.
I've been having the problem of the program just not loading or not letting me select anything, anyone know anything I can do to fix it?
This tutorial was very helpful, but whenever I try to export it says that there's been a error that says "The statement in the 0x0000... made reference to the memory in 0x000... The memory can't be read" and then when I click Okay the program closes. How can I fix this?
Oh I'm so sorry I'm not sure. Maybe try reinstalling the software? Or make sure FFMPEG is properly connected when you export? Hope you figure it out!
eu estou tentando criar uma animação, mas desenhar com mouse é complicado
How did it auto put in the keyframe
+SwerveAlec Hi, is it possible to export with transparent background in Opentoonz, if exporting as a PNG image sequence?
Yeah you can export a transparent PNG sequence. Just click PNG in the Render window when exporting
@@SwerveAlec Is this the only way to export with transparent background directly from Opentoonz? Thank you.
@@valeria_cora I think so?
@@SwerveAlec Transparent MOV?
@@valeria_cora I really dont know sorry ^^" I just always use transparent PNG sequences, sorry again ^^"
nice but my mesh only creat with the line
Ummm.
I have a question.
How u add audio.
I been struggling with this for a week.
Just drag and drop your audio file onto the timeline. Maybe your issue is you're using an audio file that Opentoonz doesn't support?
@@SwerveAlec idk what does tho
@@daniellemarcheterre7336 mp3 wav aif, I think
do you think opentoonz is the best to start with?
I personally have been using it for a year and i can say it can be daunting for beginners. I recommend looking for more opentoonz videos before diving in, I recommend DarrenT the most, he even has a great discord server with animation challenges and help chats.
can I use
opentoonz for motion graphics?
It's got tweening and clipping masks and stuff. You totally could do simple stuff at least.
Where did those eyelashes came from to make the blink
I drew them as a separate layer?
My mesh shifts a little bit to the right and therefore cuts pieces of the drawing. But the display before creating the mesh is correct. Can you help me fix that?
Did you move the original drawing with the animate tool before making the mesh? I think when you do that, the mesh gets made where the image was when you imported it originally, but I'm not super sure.
@@SwerveAlec No, I didn't. I only moved the eyes with the scale tool.. But is there a way to "reposition" the whole drawing?
@@nobody3938 yeah you should be able to move the drawing with the animate tool in pretty sure? Maybe try that?
@@SwerveAlec It worked! Thank you so much for the fast responses! :)
@@nobody3938 glad It worked ^^
I somwhow cant safe it as a gif or as mp4 somebody know how to fix that? :/
You need to have ffmpeg installed, the docs have a good tutorial for that opentoonz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using_ffmpeg_with_opentoonz.html
EDIT: put the wrong link woops
do u also have a channel named daniel kruter
i cant render it as a gif? there isnt an option
you need to manually add ffmpeg (there's tutorial how to do this in the docs for ot) or just use fork of OT called Tahoma (yes, like the font and no, I don't know what the developer of Tahoma was thinking either).
Actually, you should use Tahoma as all OpenToonz tutorials still apply (though the certain options may be somewhere else or be named differently) and Tahoma comes with a ton of bugfixes over OpenToonz and several nifty tools such as the perspective guides that make drawing easier.
bart 2 please 🙏
Can u do this on krita by any chance?
Krita doesn't support tweening as of right now. You can deform images with points, but then you'd have to manually deform every single frame which would take way too long and probably wouldn't look that good.
SwerveAlec what about clip studio?
I am facing a problem where some tools are not working . It says 'the current tool can not be used at a toonze level' Please solve it.
What tools exactly? Some tools can only be used on a vector layer. You may have made a raster layer and tried to use those tools on the raster layer, so you'd have to make a vector layer to use those certain tools.
@@SwerveAlec thanks
which version are u using
in mine, some tools are not working
It doesn't let me put images.... Nothing works...
hi, i loved this tutorial and it was amazing! however, when going to render options, some file options arent available, the most needed one being .gif :((
how do i fix this, can someone please help me out :(?
Gif should be there? You linked FFMPEG in Opentoonz, right?
@@SwerveAlec how do you link that x.x?? was that in the video????
@@coffeedemon5942 you should just see an option in the render window, where you just link the FFMPEG.exe file. But it's been over a year since I've done this so maybe google a video for it if that's easier ^^"
@@SwerveAlec i cant find the correct FFMPEG file to download on their site, do you have a link i can follow that downlosds the .exe?? sorry im asking so much btw, but i appreciate your help!!
@@coffeedemon5942 ffmpeg.org/ it should just be on there
hmm i cant add a png file for somereason-
Hello! The chudsquad team would like to ask if you would like to be on our infamous podcast!
Idk why, but I know I am too lazy to even attempt this.
