Description The artwork shown here is traced off a filler image from the webcomic "El Goonish Shive" by Dan Shive: [link] so it's completely (c) by Dan Shive, I take no credit for the pretty artwork .

* * *

I've been experimenting with a software called "Anime Studio Pro" lately; its main purpose is to create animations by manipulating vector drawings over time. I'm not really comfortable with the program at the moment, but i hope this gets better.

This is my first attemt at animating a complex model. Thus the animation is far from convincing, everything is too floaty/unnaturally/generally all over the place. However, I hope to get better & probably laugh about this some day.

PS: sorry for the hideous file size, the output isn't optimized at all

I envy you, seriously. For the love of GOD I can't figure out how to work animation studio, sure I can draw random pretty things but I can't get the stuffs to work right, I end up getting a headache trying to fit those bone things in

That's kinda sad. I feel for ya though I was the same way with 3D animation, luckily what I learned about skeletal hierarchies with 3D programs transferred over pretty well into AS Pro. That program is still a pain in the ass though. I can't seem to figure out how to set the exact bending points along the edges of joints, & still can't get the damn files animation to export properly. Grrrrr. It's still a handy & fun program though. I'm just glad I didn't waste the money to actually pay for it.

I should be envious of your drawing skills . But i agree that Anime Studio sure isn't that intuitive, and especially at the start it is very headache-inducing. I recommend starting with the tutorials (even doing them a few times over), and then have fun experimenting! Eventually you'll get better

I don't know why you bother using these programs. Real men write their animations using a text editor in svg/xml and can visualise their vector transitions in their head.

P.S. I'm obviously not a real man, I've been waiting for inkscape animation functionality for ages. I might end up programming it myself.

It's rather stiff, considering how much she moves.

It's still impressive.

agreed, the movement is rather doll-like. Gotta keep working on that ^_^

Looks convincing to me. It's definitely smooth enough animation. Noiche.

CommonSvensson In reply to metroidmania [2007-07-07 09:13:52 +0000 UTC]

apart from the headturn, the movement sure is smooth (maybe a bit too much?), i'm more concerned with the lack of control/direction/physics.

metroidmania In reply to CommonSvensson [2007-07-08 06:23:09 +0000 UTC]

Looks good to me.
If you're trying for realistic physics,when she puts her foot down the last time it's a bit too slow/smooth. (Not really a PROBLEM though.)
But really though, it's very good.

For some reason the design makes me think of Elliot more than Tedd...

Nice work ^_^

CommonSvensson In reply to Q99 [2007-07-07 09:09:23 +0000 UTC]

maybe because the bangs resemble elliot's hair more than tedd's?

Yea, I think that's it. And the expression is more innocent

Wow!

That's quite awesome!

...and this filler continues to haunt me! Out naughty-Tedd-thoughts! OUT I SAY!!!!

Thanks ! Dan has really struck gold with his fillers lately . If you like the gothic lolita stuff, i can recommend the manga/anime "princess princess", i learned about it from Q99.

Taigan In reply to CommonSvensson [2007-07-06 20:17:32 +0000 UTC]

I know the series.

The thing is I really don't like gothic lollita stuff! I don't know why it looks so good on Tedd!!!

CommonSvensson In reply to Taigan [2007-07-06 20:30:54 +0000 UTC]

in general, I'm not too excited about it either - but lately i've been reconsidering this . Curse you, Dan, for drawing Tedd so cute in that out fit ^_^

Between EGS and Princess Princess I can just see it....

β€œSo, you’re into the Gothic Lolita look?”

yeah, just liking the look - that would be too damn strange

I have that software, but I cant figure it out! Dx
Your little experiment looks cool, btw! : D
I love her outfit, shoes especially. x3

Hey thanks! The software is really strange to use at times, took me ages to get something half-decent together. And just when you think you got it figured out, it starts throwing strange bugs at you...

That is really good, and flowing animation.
