i friended u, no more loneliness 👍👍

looks hella crispy

nice job bro 👍

man ac unity is a hella good game

idek whats with all the hate it got at launch, its like every ubisoft game gets hate at launch then gets looked back on as a \”masterpiece\”

it makes a big difference though

even if its a slight and small movement, animating by hand is gonna make it feel more human

you could also just double frame or triple frame to make movements feel slow lol

the method i use for double framings a bit modified. basically, add two frames, but in the second frame of the double frame, ill move maybe just a couple of limbs to be angled more towards the next ACTUAL frames position.

hard to explain lmao

lmao that Add Tweened Frames button is so addicting

Okay.

Look into a youtuber called Mr. Onyx

His tutorials are short (4-8 mins) and god DAMN did they help me improve alot

Look into the process of easing. Heres a reference

If you want smooth anims, do \”ease both\”

Baaically, stickfigures have to be like humans. Humans dont move like robots. No, they start slow and build up their speed in a matter of time depending on the weight of their actions. Thats easing for you.

Now, this is the advice that tends to annoy most new animators.

Move every single limb in EVERY single frame.

Having certain limbs be frozen while focusing on only a couple is a big no-no.

Take a look at this snippet of a fight i made

If you put it in slow motion, you notice how every limb gets moved per frame? Even if its a slight movement, its gonna make your anims realistic.

This all might feel overwhelming but dw, im putting 2 years of advice into one comment. You have plenty of time to do all this.

On YT, search up \”Alan Becker\’s 12 principles of animation\”

Dont watch this all in one go if you dont feel like it.

Dont get used to the \”Add tweened frames\” button. Its horrible and it makes your anims look like shit.

Dont rush to get good. Yeah, that sounds like im contradicting everything I just said but hear me out.

The better you get at animating, the more work you have to put into it. And once you notice improvement, youll begin changing your standards. So you cant go back to your old animating skills because that\’ll dismotivate you. So you have to take your time and get used to putting more skill into your anims and get used to your new standards. When you feel like you\’ve completely mastered your skill, start improving some more. This will take time, of course.

Don\’t be hyped to animate something. Like a fight scene that you just choreographed, youll probably be pretty hyped to see the end result so you\’ll most likely end up rushing which will give you a bad or poorly animated end result, which will dismotivate you.

That\’s all the tips I got for now. Tag me with @revenantanims if you got more questions. Feel free to ask away! 👍
