Part 2

The only complaint on today's episode that comes to mind is I think the children's models of Ren and Nora could of been done better. Ren's child head looks so odd. It should of been rounded abit more. And for once I actually felt fear with the grimm sadly that was backstory reason.

why does whitley have no fucking jawline? his neck and head are conjoined. is this a model error or intentional? did you notice it?

That’s the new animation style and the fact that Whitley has the female body model type instead of the male ones, which have much more notable chin and wider shoulders- also taller.

That’s been a problem for a long time tbh, the hard shading style on the characters does that. In vol 1 the characters had a regular neck shadow that made it so that look didn’t happen, I think the switch off shadowed necks happened in vol 3, the scene where Pyrrha and Jaune are sitting together shows the huge difference in the models as well as how the shading is handled on them.

In many scenes the skin just blends together because 1) they’re so white you can’t see the definition 2) the shading is hard light and doesn’t always work and 3) the skin doesn’t have other shading on it normally- which is weird because they give the girls cheek blushes so if they put that use over the rest of the skin they could avoid that problem. I think Weiss’ model originally had more pink on the knees to easier show where they would be.

The old shading looked much better and this new maya affect isn’t working that great imo.

Me: It'd be kinda cool to animated something like Salad Fingers, but, ya know, have my own thing, just a similar 'type'.

Me: *Remembers how hard and time consuming animation is and that it's made me want to cry every time I've attempted to animate anything* Never mind, maybe just a comic.

Me: *Remembers that making comics is kind of a pain in the a$$, too* FFS 💢!!

In need of animation advice...

So, let me cut right to the chase. I make all of my art in a pretty large canvas size. While that's great for getting lots of detail, it has caused problems for me in the past.

😺💦

The issue that I'm having right now is that my animation program only lets me work in a much smaller canvas size. This means that when I resize the image to fit and export the animation, I lose a lot of detail.

🙀

Anyone have any idea of how I can get around this image compression problem? Help would be greatly appreciated!

😺

And no, this won't stop the animations from happening. It's just not the quality that I would like.

😸💦

Have a good night everybody and don't forget to keep on smiling!!!

Animation is pain, especially when you don’t know if the finished animation is going to be good or not.

omg so in the opening there was a character shown with Blake's obvious dad and i just watched the episode 5 and I assumed the character was Blake's sister and it turns out that's her mom.. Stop making Mom's look like babies jesus heck. Like they gave her itty bitty worry lines that you can only see on close ups but that's not enough i thought that was Blake's sister this whole time

idk how to put it in an eloquent way but something about every scene with the schnee's bugs me. i don't know what it is. it HAS to be the contrast of the stark light setting with the hard shading or something. weiss looks like a corpse and her boob window makes her proportions weird. whitley looks like he has noodle arms. i've seen a few other people voice complaints about the schnee stuff so i can't be alone. it just seems like i notice things in weiss's scenes that i don't in others.
