#

oh my god its that one gif

fickle compass
#

cause i made that animation as well

woeful coral
#

yes!

#

love it sm

fickle compass
#

that gif made me learn to watermark my stuff lol

woeful coral
#

aw man was it reuploaded??

#

thats fucked

fickle compass
#

yea it went everywhere, got reuploaded by a rtl repost account, account got over 4000 followers and like 150k likes on twitter from that one post, and even a support a creator code

#

know that cause i was so mad i looked through the account, and a day before the repost they said something like "thanks for 70 followers"

#

so i motion track the watermark on rtl now lmao

#

rtl account didnt get far with the code tho, i reported it to epic sayin they were using my (and others) content for their account and it was removed

#

huge

#

My recent animation got reuploded to tik tok and is getting way more attention there

#

Some people said they can’t see the watermark but its at the top middle of the screen

fickle compass
#

damn

#

gotta make it KNOWN

fickle compass
#

yea.... absolutely sucks

royal meteor
#

And what sucks is I can’t do anything about it

fickle compass
#

its even worst that they credited you but not even on the same platform

#

nobodys gonna go looking for that

#

art stealers suck

royal meteor
#

I’d make a tik tok acc and upload it officially but there’s no point with that existing

fickle compass
#

yea i kinda refuse to download and make a tiktok account

#

id rather keep my good attention span

royal meteor
#

Ye, I’d be another thing to keep track of

#

Cause im trying to grow YouTube and then also twitter

fickle compass
#

i need to post on my yt more, i keep forgetting

#

i mainly share my art on insta, twitter, and discord

royal meteor
#

I have this curse you see, whenever I upload an animation, it’ll do well on one platform only, not both

#

Congrats @royal meteor, you are now level 2!

royal meteor
#

Like for example

#

The Fortnite anim I just did, it’s doing really well

#

Highest thing I made that’s got tons of likes and shit

#

But in YouTube, it’s not broken the 1000 view mark yet

fickle compass
#

yea, twitter is the main platform for taking off like that

#

my insta is shadowbanned and my yt i keep forgetting

royal meteor
#

Then my animation before that, has 14k views on YouTube but not even 100 likes on twitter

royal meteor
fickle compass
#

yt algorithm is weird, exact same for me

#

made one ror2 vid that popped off and the rest sucked

royal meteor
#

It’s funny cause the first thing I’ve seen from you was the one with your character running to ultra kill music which was in sfm, then saw another but in blender

fickle compass
#

yea i was testing porting dmx animations to blender

royal meteor
#

I was thinking of doing that but I kinda forgot about it and just said why not learn blender

#

I’m still a newbie to blender

fickle compass
#

thank god you dont use it anymore, you used sfm before, right?

royal meteor
#

Mhm

fickle compass
#

worst program on earth

royal meteor
#

I don’t think I can go back

fickle compass
#

cant believe people still use it, and are convinced its better

#

entire hoovytube discord is gaslit lmao

#

left it a while ago

royal meteor
fickle compass
#

and we're not even gonna talk about hoovytubes animation strategy

royal meteor
#

Idk how to explain it but it looks odd

fickle compass
#

he live animates using the motion editor, he grabs a bone, presses spacebar, and moves it around

#

and smooths

royal meteor
#

Your joking

fickle compass
#

no

fickle compass
#

and he convinced alotta other animators in his server to do the same

royal meteor
#

WHY

fickle compass
#

if you ever wondered why his animations were so smooth and unnatural, and why his animations from like 10 years ago or so are better, thats why

#

so he can quickly mass produce content for the algorithm

#

id rather be good at animation after 10+ years of animating

royal meteor
#

I’ve only started animating about last year January

#

Used sfm till around February this year and learned blender

fickle compass
#

shit, crunch those animation principles and start animating 2s and using references from artists you like, and youll be better in a year or so

royal meteor
#

I had help learning animation from people I know

#

Do u know colonel fanzipantzen?

fickle compass
#

ya

royal meteor
#

He helped me narrow down the stepped style (obviously I’m still learning how to do it) but the style I’ve been doing recently is nice

fickle compass
#

i use them for reference every once in a while, them, ceno0, and the gmod animator kinanimations

#

lotta good stuff they make

royal meteor
#

Indeed

#

Delak’s gmod style of animation is what I use for inspiration

fickle compass
#

i use delak for alotta timing reference

royal meteor
#

I just love whacky cartoony stuff

#

Congrats @royal meteor, you are now level 3!

royal meteor
#

I’m 1 + 2

fickle compass
#

didnt wanna copy frame by frame, so i just used their frame timing for reference on my own poses

#

referenced the part where soldier runs

royal meteor
#

very nice

#

if theres 2 things i need to work on in blender, its camera movement and also lighting

#

i cant figure out how to actually move the camera well cause when i do move a camera from point A to B and the point C is it turning, it just turns by itself

#

like i put keyframes on point A and B so it doesnt turn but then it just does

fickle compass
#

i set my default key mode to stepped in the settings, animate on 2s, use motion paths to make sure keys are smooth, and then spline them out

royal meteor
#

i dont think i've touched motion paths yet in blender doomed

fickle compass
#

minimal camera movements work for me, i use rotations alot but keep the camera transform movements minimum

#

think of the camera moving like it should on a movie set, normally cameras are on dollys and tracks to ensure smooth movements and linear directions

#

most of the movement is rotation for those

royal meteor
#

ill give it a try when i animate something next

#

gotta wait for my room to be done so im on a tiny table right now in my kitchen

fickle compass
#

definitely still learning good camera movements myself

#

wanna do longer shots and less cuts soon, similar to the john wick movies, most fighting scene shots are long one takes with a wide view of the action

royal meteor
#

i cannot wait to see you do that

fickle compass
#

soonâ„¢

royal meteor
#

also im confused on something

#

so u know in sfm u have shots

#

in blender, when u animate, do u do everything in 1 blender file or is it something different?

fickle compass
#

you can make different scenes

#

next to the render layers

#

you can link together scenes with the sequencer

royal meteor
#

how

fickle compass
#

make new scenes -> video editing tab -> shift + A on the sequencer tab -> add scene

#

you'll have to make a new scene on top of the others to put all the stuff on the timeline, so for 2 different clips (like sfm) you'll need a scene for each clip, then a scene for adding the 2 other scenes on the sequencer

Congrats @fickle compass, you are now level 21!

spiral hinge
fickle compass
#

ya

#

i use the wiggle 2 addon, and for some of the bakes i'll step the keyframes and put them on 2s or whatever frames the main armature is on

spiral hinge
#

Ohh ok I see

#

For running have you ever consider zooming out the camera when the models running to make it more dynamic or you do that already

fickle compass
#

zooming out the camera as in fov, or moving it back

#

cause i do both

Ooo ok
