recently i've been doing random shit like learning to edit videos, animating again & learning how to do it better digitally (i was a paper on lightboxes teen cause i had access) and now learning how to model (eventaully sculpt) in blender in between work
feeling experimental and it's been rewarding
![Technical tips:
- Using Arcs makes animation feel more natural.
- You don't need a lot of frames to make animation smooth.
- Good keyframes and timing will help you a LOT in the long run.
- Practice form/proportion consistency. Try to keep things "on model"
-> Animate stuff spinning/turning (3D shapes -> character turnaround).
- Utilize program shortcuts and make it a habit if you want to speed up your workflow.
Personal tips:
- Its ok to take/use shortcuts (ie. copy pasting, transform/liquify tool) but don't get overreliant on them if you want to build up skills. Challenge yourself occasionally :]
- Use shitposts to animate. Less stress and more fun!
- Don't focus too much on end result. You can always do better next time.
- Study how things move irl or from videos.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rysel6my4o2lkcsqwmwspjgx/bafkreibcl5k7bpg3p7mdpufigawdromdcbnmbmwpknfn5krmzc2g4h6nxa)
