Gaara101: I've read this over and over again, and you know what? It makes zero sense. Yet you rant about "educating someone"? Scoffs
lol you see that post canceled up there? I'm not the one that wrote it, i wrote the one that wasnt canceled. The foolish thing that i quoted edited my post and attached his post that i cancelled to make it look like i wrote all that. Please use your head before throwing punches in the wrong direction.
justwise: So far you are unable to make any valid point only throwing insults right left and centre which shows your level of education.
i dont need to stress myself trying to educate your type when i know that all my effort will just end in futility, and besides wasnt insulting, just stating the obvious fact! Have a nice day!
Lennycool: Alan Turing: Professor of mathematics at Manchester university in the 1940's joined a secret military project to decipher the German enigma code during world war II. There he invented Victory a relatively advanced computer dedicated to breaking the codes, he's credited as being the single most important factor that won Britain the war and saved the free world. His invention saved millions of lives. Alan Turing was a homosexual and an atheist. He is also widely known as the father of computing.
[/s][quote author=Lennycool post=53000234]see how you shot yourself in the foot trying to defend homosexuals and atheists, you can't even type a simple name like Charles Babbage. that's why you went ahead to jump into my mention without using your common sense first. all these nairaland e-warrior atheist self!
homebase: Wow! Thanks for the detail response, i really appreciate it.
I never knew one can learn drawing.
I will storm youtube to learn drawing before i move to learning 2D animation.
Once again thanks.
u're wckm. Remember not to rush while learning, also practise makes perfect. U can post some of your drawings in this thread in the near future for assessments.
homebase: I see. So anyone who does not have drawing talent can't be a 2D animator, unfortunately i am not born with one.
Since you said 3D does not demand ones to be an artist, do you advise i go for 3D?
Also i want to know if 3D is superior to 2D.
Thanks.
lol drawing is a skill that can be learnt, it mustnt be inborn. I learnt how to draw and paint basic figures using the vast resources youtube has to offer. And learning it is quite easy. I would advice you start with 2d then upgrade to 3d if you want, this is because 3d is more challenging and involves tedious stages (modelling, texturing, and rigging) that you must meet up with before you can create a single full character for animation. But in 2d, u just need to do frame by frame drawing which does not take much time to achieve a particular kind of animation. As for superiority, both are in their own way, and none of them is better than the other depending on the category you want to go for. Some cg studios work with only 2d, some 3d while some others can work with both. It all boils down to preference.
homebase: Hi, i really love this tutorial God bless you.
I have be meaning to learn animation seriously but i am confuse where to start.
Thinking of learning online e.g Lynda tutorials or going to offline schools ( but their fees are beyond what i can afford )
My first question is must i be a good artist to be an animator?
cc: chubbyswit
thanks. to be a good artist is a must for a 2d animator but not a must for a 3d animator although it is an added advantage if a 3d animator have a good knowledge of artistry. yes learning animation is costly especially online, but you can learn on YouTube which is free and also follow this thread . back to your question, a 2d animator can never be good if he/she don't know basic drawing and painting, this is because 2d animation mostly involves traditional method or frame by frame drawing (pls check the first page of this thread to recall the two methods of 2d animation).
Truman155: thanks alot please what graphics tab do you use and can you recommend one for me? I want to stop drawing with mouse the output is poor
there are lots of gtab brands like wacom, huion, ugee, but wacom is currently the best gtab out there, huion is very good too. I currently use a wacom ctl471 gtab also called bamboo splash. please use Google to research more on graphic tablets. I think you get a good small sized tab for 30k, though I'm not sure because of the exchange rate at the moment. please pardon me for replying very late. I can recommend a wacom or a huion, both are good brands.
XXLDICK: Nigeria is a sovereign nation. Whatever affects the north affects the South and vice versa.
When crude oil price dropped, it affected the north.
Tomato glut in the north affected the south.
the south is unaffected most times if any economic mishap occurs in the north because the north dont contribute much to the nations gdp, but should anything happen to the south today, the north will feel the impact the most because the north is being developed from most of the proceeds got from the south. Only clowns will still believe that nigeria is a sovereign state with all the charade.
bitrade: must i get a tablet before i can learn 2d animation?
it is a must if you want to become a professional. 2d involves a lot of sketching, drawing and painting, and using a mouse will make your work as a 2d animator miserable lol, the importance of a gtab cannot be over emphasized. you can get affordable ones for as low as 25k, which will serve its purpose very effectively.
mrmrmister: He is the CEO of one of the world's biggest companies, do you expect him to attack religion? He'll lick people's butts if he has too That's what it takes to be a Businessman
what about his atheist customers that found his statement offensive? maybe he found their butts too disgusting to lick.
4everGod: Is there another way to describe you beyond being a deceiver and a liar to your family about your identity as an atheist? Pray tell me how i should have described you?
Are you not deceiving them? You say you are an instrumentalist in your church which means you pray when others are, you give offering, you pretend to fast, etc yet you say i should not call you a liar?
Even the Bible calls you a deceiver when it says you are a wolf in sheeps clothing.
i felt pity for that guy when i read this ur post. God is merciful indeed.
Truman155: thanks allot i don't have a graphics tablet so i used mouse for drawing and i did this in a day i look forward to getting more feedback from you and improving thanks
Daewoods: guy forget all this blabbering and learn to keep an open mind.. your way, other people way none is above the other, that's the truth! Maybe one of this days will run into you in Enugu and put to test how much of the religion you carry for head and think to know,, guess I would be disappointed as most Christians make me! So prepare very nicely
i'm just attacking an ideology not you or anyone so stop getting worked up over it, calling a spade a spade is what i term it. now can you please stop blabbering (as you put it ) and remind me who you are!
sorry guys have been busy with a very hectic project. I might post a sneakpeak of what I'm currently working but will continue with our tutorials once I'm through.
your animation is k for a start but you really need to put in more effort to improve. the lip sync is off, the background design is very poor, the characters are animated poorly, but at least there was movement. keep learning to improve yourself and get better. the sky is your starting point.
