I Love Animation

@CrazyMusicLover: That is exactly what I am doing too LOL. I even try not to add many characters 😂

2 main characters is the best so far.

@Animator: What kind of animation do you do? 2D, CGI 3D, stop motion?

I do 2d animation but I am more in love with 3d honestly 😂

New 2d animation's softwares are powerful and fast to make and rendering the animation is much lighter than 3d I guess. It suits my mac pro.

What about you? :)

@Animator: I'm into stop motion (puppet animation/claymation) the most, but a good stop motion film requires a large space for all the models, a good armature and the system how to fix character's legs to the surface. And a good camera and software of course. Never mind, I do it despite that I lack everything. xD

3D is fun but yes - the rendering, omg. :D I have HP with Windows, by the way. 😜 It wouldn't be all that bad if I didn't have a habit of using so many difficult textures and light conditions. I can't help it. What 3D software do you use?

Do you do traditional 2D on paper sometimes?

I thought about stop motion before but found it very hard lol. Yes, once you love it you do it no matter what, I like the challenge and coming up with ideas on how to make this scene and the other scene..etc.


I believe HP laptop is strong but I am not sure about it when it comes to video editing, it should do the job. The only laptop did a good job for me is mac but for some reasons I still prefer windows. I feel mac is a bit mean lol Maybe someday I will get a powerful PC. Many great software do not work on mac too 🙄


What 3D software do you use?

I don't use 3d software right now. But I did use (3d max) long time ago I remember it was easy to learn. Unfortunately, it is very expensive. I would say it was the best for me. I have now (blender) which is free 3d software but kinda hard to learn. I guess you might have an idea about it. and I have Cheetah3D which works with mac only. small, easy but not powerful 😂

Do you do traditional 2D on paper sometimes?

If you mean traditional 2D animation on real papers. No, but I do draw the storyboard on papers so I have a clear Idea about what I am going to do 😂

The 2d software I use called Moho 12 (used to be called Anime Studio) I like it because it is not hard to learn (that is very important for me😂) , and it is affordable. You can do traditional animation in it (frame by frame) So, yes I sometimes did traditional 2d but inside the software when it is needed (for some effects).

What I dislike about 2d animation is that I have to draw the character from different angles. Or I try to make it able to make full turn, then it will look like 3d. many times it become a big mess, especially the character's nose when I try to let its head turn sharply 😂

@Animator: Thank you for your reply :)

Mac: Yeah, that's why I never considered to get one. I've heard that everything has to be 'special' and that it's not compatible with anything.

3D: I see it other way around. :D Blender is super easy for me and very intuitive, while I've always felt lost in 3d max. It probably depends on what software you learn first. I had problems mainly with shortcuts that were completely different. What I don't like about Blender are its limited options for rendering. 3d max had more options with better looking results, as long as I remember.

2D: I still don't get on well with storyboards. :D That's why I didn't try to get into a film school. I know it's a very important part of movie-making but I still struggle with it. Do you study animation or is it just a hobby for you?

Would you mind showing some of your work? :)
If not, I'll understand ;)

You are welcome 🙂 and sorry for my late replies 😬

Mac: Yes, what you have heard is correct lol It is strong system but kinda dictator in the same time lol Many free and paid softwares do not work on Mac which is disappointing sometimes especially when their prices are affordable.

3D: Blender is super easy and intuitive? you are lucky to see it this way 😜 ... Because it is very powerful free software😍. I have just downloaded the latest version the other day. I will give it another try. I've always found 3D max to be intuitive software lol Are you good at modelling?



storyboards: If I draw it for myself then I don't need to care about how good it is, I do understand my own mess on papers. It is hard for me to keep it look nice and detailed especially when I don't have enough time to draw everyday. I usually draw all in one day (short script/film) Once I get tired my drawing becomes like 10 years old kid😂. You can do just few scenes that you think are important and need to be planned like fight scenes! and romantic! I guess!.

2D animation is just a hobby for me. In fact what I am interested in is writing, directing and "lately" animating. if I have a team I wouldn't draw a thing LOL It is hard to do all the work by yourself in the same time it is good to learn all aspects in the making. I have nice friends who are willing to (act or do voice acting) but non of them is interested in anything else lol.


sharing work: When I have finished work that I am happy about 😂 I will upload it on YouTube. That was my plan. Then I will post it on this site .. Do most people mind sharing their works?lol have you ever shared any work online?🙂

@Animator:
Blender: I feel this way about it because I had two different seminars (tutorials) in college where we used Blender. It was more helpful than watching tutorials. But my first encounter with this software was desperate as well. :D I didn't know that my graphic card driver needed to be updated so Blender crashed right after I ran it, again and again.
Why I find it intuitive is because shortcuts are assigned to the starting letter (Translate = T, rotate = R, Scale = S etc). That's why I find shortcuts in 3D max confusing. :D On the other hand, it's more useful to learn 3D max shortcuts first because if I remember well, Blender allows you to set up your own keyboard shortcuts and mouse buttons.

I don't think I'm very good at modelling but I try :D I prefer organic shapes.

storyboards: I always write detailed screenplay. All the moves of the characters. But since I can't decide on the position of the camera, I rather don't draw anything. xD

You're lucky to have friends who do voice-acting. I do everything by myself but lately I decided to avoid using my voice, as it feels so awkward. xD

Sharing: I think I share way too much (DeviantArt, Youtube, Vimeo). :D Sometimes it's a problem if you want to send your film to a festival because some of them won't accept your work if it was already published on the Internet. But this kind of festivals is out of my league anyway. xD
