torso rotation, trust me. rotating the torso will make all your animation look 200x better, especially if you exaggerate it.

here, let me show you an example with an animation i made a while ago

image

i completely exaggerate the torso movement here, the character’s entire body is facing away from where the character’s head is actually facing, which gives it the impression that the arm movement has a lot more “impact” if you could call it that.

also leaning. rotate your character’s torso back and fourth to replicate force
image

you can see here i lean the character’s entire body forward to replicate all the force thats implied pushing this barrel forward

basically, this is my biggest tip: exagerrated, torso movement (moving the torso usually moves the entire body thats why i suggest this)

slightly more advanced tip

in the future of your making animations, you’re gonna want to sync up other sorts movement with the body. what i mean is also shown in the video

image
while the character’s body is rotating to face forward, i matched up the right leg as you can see to make it look like they’re actually rotating their body properly, with correct body movements. this is actually a lot harder to pull off than you might think, so don’t try too hard on doing this.

also this animation is based off of a certain game. whoever guesses it first gets a heart

As for the gun animation, gun recoil doesn’t work like that. Well, it does, but not handgun recoil. Handguns, or any guns that don’t rely on a stock would recoil upwards.

If it was a rifle, the gun would then be kicking back the way the current animation is shown here

Oh shit, I needed this right here.

32

thanks! very nice tip

i did realise the importance of exaggerating torse rotation, but never implemented it fully into my animations

33

i know absolutely nothing about guns :frpensive:

i just assumed it worked like that and didn’t think twice

back again
this time with walking animations

look this guy is a zombie

look this guy is running from the zombie

also i’ve decided to experiment with ease both options and it turned out really smooth and organic-like

first time using gyazo btw, seems like a pretty handy tool, not sure why many would hate it though
it’s way more convenient in terms of recording a gif, and not butchering quality in the process
