Title: buttocks [NSFW]
Post by: Ozego on December 12, 2016, 12:51:57 pm
Hey guys. This is my first attempt at animation since I was 16~
I am working on a looped gif to sync to some music I've put together. It will be in the style of PC98 graphics. It's a little bit lewd right now, she'll get panties eventually. CC very welcome, I'll probably spam this thread with my progress tonight.

Sixth Pass:
I experimented with using illustrator and aftereffects for using Vector Vector Vector!

Fourth Pass:
Tried to clean it and it turned all wobbly again. More cleanup needed... :(  :'(

Third pass:
Added fixed some poorly constructed area and gave it more z-movement.

Second pass:
I was working in flash, but it was a pain. Now I've switched to photoshop. Still need to fix this wobbly torso.

This looks quite nice apart from the big bulge that runs up the side with each step. I'd tone that down a lot

You're right! I think I was too focused on displaying the volume. It makes sense to restrict it since I wanna give her pants; I'll tone it down. :y:

I need to stretch it out to sync to my beat... Why didn't anyone tell me that animation is way harder than it looks? hehe

Yeah it's easy to get bogged down in details like that. It's a nice motion but definitely keep it subtle.

Always start with the audio if you have it! Hopefully you're not too far off !yus!

So 1 beat in my track takes 66 frames and the current animation is 44 frames, lucky me! It syncs already. Hehe

I have a question regarding what resolution I should produce the clean-up in. I want it to look like the PC 98, which ran at 640x480, but I want it widescreen, which makes it 640x360... But do you guys think it would look better in 320x180? Accuracy is not really my aim. It is for youtube and I will add some glitch and vhs effects, it will not be used in a game. I am afraid that youtube will not capture the pixelness if I do it in full res.


Btw 32, Happy 420

Nice and smooth. I really like the way you have looped the frames.
Although, I have to ask. Is the intention to make it look comical rather than attractive?
It reminds me of the british tongue in cheek demo scene era stuff. If that's your intention, I think the animation is perfect. The shading looks great too. On the other hand, if your aim is to make it hot you have a lot to work on. The extreme bounce and separation makes it looks like she is extremely skinny fat and have a flabby pancake ass, kind of like an infant. The hip tilt and cat walk strut is perfect though.

It is meant as a music video for hip hop. I don't understand why it can't be both. :( hehe, nah, I toned it down a bit in the newer iterations.

Very impressive update! Still think it's missing a bit of mass, but the animation is great. Did you use any reference? It almost has a rotoscoped look to it.

Thanks a lot mate. :D
 I used a ton of references, but I didn't rotoscope. It's pure grind, going over every drawing again and again and again. In retrospect I probably should have looked at the references more than I did, I thought I'd finish this gif within two weeks but it's stretching on forever, hehehe.
Actually now that you remind me of it I might rotoscope the arms, they're such a pain to get right. I will finish it this weekend for sure.
