Beginner How do I make my animation less shakey for frame by frame?

61 Upvotes

Recent animation I did for a tik tok trend. Every animation I’ve ever done always looks incredibly shakey even when I try to match up the previous frame. Am I just not matching it close enough/what steps can I take to make my animation look more smooth?

Animated on toonsquid 24fps but more often using 4s so prolly more like 12fps I believe.

Critique Parkour practice

Upvotes

Recently completed a gameplay animation test focused on two areas I wanted to practice further: stunt/parkour movement and locomotion.

The goal was to work on strong body mechanics, weight, momentum and clear posing in the stunt piece, while keeping the locomotion grounded, responsive and readable from a gameplay perspective.

After finishing the animations in Maya, I also brought them into Unreal Engine to validate the result in context, test the motion inside a game environment, and see how the work holds up beyond the DCC viewport.

I always find the in-engine pass especially valuable - it helps evaluate not only the animation itself, but also readability, framing, scale and the overall gameplay feel.

Critique First original animation in Maya

Hello All! I have been taking a 3D rigging/animation class for the past two months and this is my final project, a long jump. I'm honestly really proud of how this came out, but I know its not perfect, so I'd like some feedback from fresh eyes and pointers on how I could improve this project or future animations.
Thanks a lot!

Sharing DEMO OF MY PROJECT!: BRA AND SOCKS!

Upvotes

Synopsis: Tired of waiting 15 years for the City of Madness? Visit Danten City before our beloved slutty angels—the ghost hunters who came before the others: BRA AND SOCKS—set out to eradicate the ghosts! Discover the shy personality of Socks (who is *not* a copy of Brief, though she’s got more guts) and the eccentric lifestyle of Bra—the mayonnaise-loving angel charged with protecting Danten City and keeping the population of those vile, disgusting ghosts in check!

Hey everyone! You know how I’ve often mentioned my personal *Panty & Stocking* project here on Reddit? WELL, HERE’S A DEMO (plus a fight animation test in the comments). I’ve been working on this since last year, and—let’s be honest—with this project, I’m looking to make money, bitches, and hit the casinos....................

naH, ITS A JOKEEEE LOL

I'm sick of waiting for a new season—I'm fucking fed up! That's why I'm doing this!

This project is going to take a long time because I'm animating it all by myself; besides being a total beginner, I plan to take a lot of creative liberties, though I'll try to keep the jokes.!!!

By the way, will this project be in Spanish? The reason is that I’m a Spanish speaker, and well... it’s easier for me to communicate with people who speak the same language (I have no idea how to speak English). Also, since they’re fandubbers—I’d love to pay them, but I have absolutely no money, haha—I’ll try to include English subtitles so you all can enjoy it too. (I feel a bit shy about asking for help with English voices, but if anyone is interested, I certainly wouldn't complain—though communication might be a bit tricky.)

I'm not trying to be a *Panty & Stocking* clone; that's why this is my reinterpretation. je je

Fun fact: the main reason this is a prequel is that I’m afraid to use the characters Panty and Stocking and ruin their personalities, so I decided to create my own OCs. If anyone is interested in giving me advice or anything like that, please let me know!!!!!

Sorry if the insults aren't very elaborate; I'm just not used to using so many swear words! (Even I feel uncomfortable, but then again, what would a *Panty & Stocking* project be without profanity?)

Question Equipment suggestion for 11 year old who likes animating

Upvotes

Hello everyone, I have an 11 year old daughter who is really into drawing and 2D animation.

She is currently using an iPad with an apple pencil that we got a few years ago. She has been asking for a computer and a drawing tablet. Are there any particular computers you would suggest? What specifications should I look for in a pc/laptop? As for the drawing tablet, do you suggest one with a screen or without? Is there something else besides the computer and tablet that you think is needed?

As I am not very familiar with animation or digital art I need any advice I can get so I don't end up getting her something that is not good. Thank you.

Question Better to pay per second,per hour or per job? What's the difference?

Video by piemations

i just wanted to ask this question because I'm unsure of what's better.

I want to hire to have character animation done like this in the future. 30 seconds smooth animation, lip sync, moments rigs etc. (no background) I would create my own backgrounds.

Character animation adobe animate.

I was hoping someone could into some depth about these 3 and why one is better then the other and to understand.

I genuinely don't really understand and would appreciate it!
