Sheesh, I think I need to get a better animation program · 9:55pm Jan 19th, 2016
I've been working on my Mega Man animation since the 1st of January, and only now have I been able to build up over a minute's length of the video. I've cut corners with details in the animation just to save a little time. Was gonna put a bed in the background of Unique's room and everything, but nope. Had to slap a painted wall piece instead.
Photoshop is slowly starting to become more of a hindrance to my animations, it seems. It' was alright for doing small animations, but now I wanna make them a little longer, and there's a lot of work that needs to be done to make the video. I've made over 300 different pictures - yes, THREE. HUNDRED - that make up each frame for the video.
I think I'll just have to upload the whole thing in parts, then piece it all together at the end. Hope that will work and go down well with the viewers.
Then again being the novice I am, it probably doesn't matter. Crowne Prince or IMMAToonlink Reverie or some other brony will be working on something way cooler than me anyway.
Wait, what am I saying? Screw those guys! I'll still upload my animation segment! Who cares how many views it gets so long as the people at least find it a bit funny?
But I'm still gonna have to think about a different animation program. As much as I'm going to hate having some stupid computer software autocorrecting my shapes and stuff, it must be done. For...for...
For the people I promised better videos to...
So how are you all doing tonight? Any snow where you guys and gals are?
No snow here, just cold af.
3698620 No no, I saw this before, I did. I just wasn't sure whether to make a switch soon or not at the time.
But I do want to start doing a little better for you guys and gals, so I've got to at least consider my options. And I guess now might be around the time to look into this Toon Boom.
I could send you a copy of my Adobe Flash if you want :)!! I have flash CS5.5 and it works pretty well (Older version always seem to be better, like photoshop)
Also, we have had snow in the East. I got off school today because of it ^-^!!
3698809 Hmm...but is it safe and okay to do?
I'm still running on Windows 9. I'm not upgrading to 10 because I've found out exactly what the creators don't want you to know about it.
Windows 10 invades your files and uses your personal information to share with markets. You ever wonder why people get those phone calls about 'amazing offers'? That's what Windows 10 is doing but on a bigger scale.
Also something about offering people's personal data to hackers in exchange for them not infiltrating their own computers or something...
Yea, you do that. Take your time.
We may or may not be getting snow on Friday. Not enough to cancel school though. Where I live, by the time snow reaches us, it's rain.
3698942 I'm still gonna use Photoshop to do the Mega Man animation. The old MM games were pixelated, so Photoshop comes in handy for that sort of effect.
3699125 Hy im UniqueSDKs bro he 's blacked oot a litle while ago. He hit his I wit an axe this morn an he'
Sorry, my little bro tried to take over then. But he is right, I had an accident this morning chopping wood and hit my left eye with the blunt end of the damn axe.
But that's not the case here. About that program...yeah I'll check it out tomorrow. Cheers for reminding me friend. I'm glad I got you on my team. :)
3698885 Should be okay, I am still on windows 7 because screw upgrading XD!! My copy of Flash isn't even that "legitimate" because I can't afford any adobe products :(. Plus, the older versions are a LOT better. It does have to be patched however, but not to worry, I have a program that can patch it as well :D!! If you don't want it then I understand if you feel it's 'illegal' or something, but it is an older version and I don't see them running out of money anytime soon. Let me know if you are still interested :D!
3699142 Let me think on it, okay?
Is that alright with you?
Also, how are YOUR animations coming along? I haven't seen any new videos from your channel lately, though then again I've subbed to other people so maybe their new content is making me miss yours by accident?
3699223 Okay :), just let me know
And no, I haven't had any time to think of any silly little sketches to make or record any gameplay videos because, well, school and the such and other side things I am doing. Like teaching myself 3D animation and to juggle. Laziness also comes into play, but mostly school and self-teaching side projects. But I WILL return to making videos soon, I just need to find a game that hasn't been done by anybody else. That is why I have cancelled my FNAF 3 and PvZ playthroughs, because there are much bigger names out there that have already played them. Plus I don't have many subs, so I didn't think they would miss me that much if I took an unexpected hiatus. I was right...
(Bottom line though, I will return, SOONER rather than LATER)
3699248 I know a game...
Abe's Oddysee?
3699374 Hmm, sounds interesting
I'll check it out!
We've actually got snow here, but I live in Sweden, so two to three weeks of snow was practically given.
300 drawings @ 24 fps... A little over 12 seconds, if it's on ones. 24 if on twos. Not bad!
There are free or cheap animation programs out there. Unfortunately, I can only tell you to Google. I have no recommendations at the mo'.
