discussion Getting into animations

[justsomedude23]

Hey all. So I'm quite the blender enthusiast, working on hard surface modelling for some time now but new to rigging an animating.
This here is my very first animation that I would call 'okay'. I know it's still not very realistic regarding the movements, but I'm learning.
Also I hope this is the right place to post it.
I appreciate any suggestions or help to improve myself!

Hey! I think it looks pretty good. I dont know anything about creating characters or animation but the only suggestions I have are the following.

1) Get the lips to move as well. The mouth seems to only be opening and closing and I think including the lips and giving variation to these two would help.
2) I suppose it also falls in line with number 1 but getting the eyebrows to move a bit to bring more life to the character as right now she's very very robotic,

Thanks!
Yeah I was thinking the same but it was even more difficult to move these in a realistic looking way. There's so much to watch out for when it comes no natural movements.

Yeah... Good luck my man! Hopefully one day I'll be posting stuff and you'll be able to see it as well. Getting started on learning.

Hey justsomedude, glad you shared here your first animation. Don't worry too much, you will level up as you make more animations and have fun with it.
If you want some feedback to start working on i could spare some tips:

Spoiler

Her left breast is moving without any apparent reason. You animated it to move at each thrust but the body is completely static and i can't see any logical reason to animate it.
The face is quite static. There's no face expression at all. You could make her look at whats happening, Maybe wincing with each thrust, closing and opening the eyes, but try to do it in a natural way and not robotic or synchronized.
Also arms seems to be completely freezed. You can try to make gestures of discomfort or as if trying to lean on the ground to endure the penetration.
Legs and feet movement feels nice, really good job!

Always try to feel natural and a little spontaneous. Don't overthink it, just leave the animation create itself. I recommend you to look at references, it always helps

Edit: Also i recommend a lot learning about animation principles. Here i share with you a youtube playlist. The examples are 2D but it applies on 3D aswell
Notice that, the more you exaggerate an animation the more cartoonish will look. Most principles apply on 3D but need to be careful.

Oh man thank you so much!
You're right with all of it, I actually wanted to just get one animation done you know? The first one, then learn from it and do the next one with some more experience.
I will definitely check out the videos you linked, thanks again

Soo, I think I'm improving even tho I know there's still room for improvement. Don't mind the background and the bald head please
