o nice man this is good.....i need to know how to make a smooth running cartoon with people speaking....mine sucks.....very low grade stuff
if you can help me plz do
1. shoot reference video
1. shoot reference video
1. do not copy directly from the reference video
1. shoot reference video
2. get the timing of the most extreme poses in the reference (points where a change/contact occurs in movement)
3. put your character in those poses on the right timing, make sure it looks nice and balanced
4. (the lazy way) set keys that are part of a smooth movement to autosmooth, set sharp movement changes to linear corner
that's for 3d
for 2d in step 3 you draw the key frames
and 4 is drawing the inbetweens by hand yay (NEVER EVER do automatic 2D vector inbetweening, it's fucking ugly and smells like Adobe Flash crap)
you can limit the amount of stuff that you need to draw by only animating the stuff the viewer is looking at in 2d (see limited animation)
