Making Cartoons
When i grow up, i wanna make cartoons for kids [6-11]. I'm horrible at animating, but i'll learn some day. I've already got ideas that i might use.
If anyone wants to do the same thing i wanna do, share your ideas and reply to others, stating your opinions.
My first and favorite idea:
Ryan The Cat
In a town called [i don't have a idea yet, ideas for the name are gladly accepted], a cat named Ryan lives in apartment, and goes to work at Fryville, a burger joint. Ryan is joyful and happy working here with Mr. Spike [a lizard, and manager] and a meerkat named Marcus, but have to face customer compitition at Chick Country, a chicken and burger joint down the road. Also, Ryan loves pizza, so he tries to get a job at at Kitteh Pizzeria.
I've actually started doing this as a comic. On my first one called "Delivery"
And it was made because of how much i love drawing cartoon cats.
So, discuss and share away

Re: Making Cartoons
So uh
Two rival fast food restaurants?
Anthropomorphic animals of some sort?
You should name the town Thongville if that's where you're going with it I would say.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: Making Cartoons
Wouldn't making a place called Kitteh Pizzeria be like creating a Spanish Burgerplace in your universe? You know slightly racist
Oh and wait they eat chickens?? The horror the horror :0
And burgers?? Ohmy the farm animals need to riot 3:
And and what's on the pizzas?? D:

Re: Making Cartoons
Me, InkMystro, and Spritemite are making an animation called The Rivals. It's actually not an animation, it's a comic, and it'll be released on Scratch.
We are, however, working on a short movie we'll be releasing to Youtube.
We use a Blender Freestyle mod from Graphicall.

Re: Making Cartoons
I've had some ideas for animating, but all the programs are made for people who want to make super complex things, I just want to be able to make lots of sprites and layer them, then move them around in frames.
I'm okish at actually drawing, but I don't see how moving a bunch of drawings has to be so hard.

Most people don't actually realize the complexity of cartoons. Cartoons are made in a 3D environment and are NPR rendered. (That means non-photo-realistic)

It looks easy at first, but it gets complicated quickly.

I know that, it's all to do with layering, it's like drawing something, you have lots of layers and each one can be moved around separately, then you render it.
What I don't understand is why all the most used tools are the hardest ones to get to, I have to go through 4 menus just to use a move tool, I'm pretty sure the professionals move things too.

This was a year ago, I can't really remember the name of it, but I doubt that in a year devs have gone "What if we moved the move tool somewhere easier to get to?" "Genius!"
