2DFX Simplifying a Traditional Splash

A video for​ ‪@OnionSkin‬ Watch him try a splash with no structure here: • Professional Animator ... hilarious.
So I finally got around to making this, showing how you can take a very complex concept like a traditional splash effect and break it down into simple stages. This lets you learn a lot without the brain cramp of starting with a final product in mind.

Спасибо!

[@rafaelferraz1891]

I love your channel! I'm starting to animate and all these videos are helping me a lot! This inspire me not only to animate but to teach and share what I learn with others.

[@StylusRumble]

I love sharing, it really helps to deeply understand things when you force yourself to break it down into actionable steps. it's also super gratifying when people tell me I'm helping them :) win win!

[@matrixnavigator6669]

All I can say is, WOW! I'm so excited to start experimenting with all of this!

[@leadupic3865]

You're such a good teacher!! Thank you so much for everything you do on this channel I've learned so much from you :)))

[@nigeldur]

your fx tutorials are so useful to understand how it all works and how to think about it. Thanks a lot

[@yezzzsir]

Don't think I blinked once throughout the whole of this lol!

[@DeVisTom]

I love your bowl splash! It is very satisfying to look at!

[@StylusRumble]

I find water to be the most brain intensive mess, but most satisfying to finish. If you want to oggle some fluid animation, Quentin Cordonnier is killing it right now. twitter.com/quentincordonn1

[@franklingaldino6892]

Thank you so muuuch for all the inspiration and information. Your videos are pure gold and I'm so happy I've got to find you here on youtube. I've just started learning animation and your content is helping me immensely! Thank you again and again!

You may know this already but when cleaning up with the line tool, if you hold the option/alt key and click to add more line, they usually link. Hit "k" to check. Also, before letting go of your cursor, if you hit the command key you can bend the line. Good for cleanup. Let me know if you need more clarification.

[@StylusRumble]

The main issue with fx is on a big effect is there are a bazillion tiny details over dozens or hundreds of frames. With brush you can just mindlessly clean up. Line is high maintenance lol

[@articfrontier5000]

I went for the most difficult splash ever haha 😅 time to go backwards now.

[@StylusRumble]

I have a detail problem lol. Whenever I work on a show with a simple style I have to do simplification passes because it's against my nature.

[@mostafafarweez3161]

Awsome tutorial :)

[@Bri_ze]

Your tutorials are great and I’ve been watching for awhile, and I was wondering if you know how to animate a “timelapse” effect? Like clouds flying through the sky, or the sun rays on trees disappearing upwards but it looks sped up. I don’t know if it counts as effects, but if you had any advice :))

[@StylusRumble]

It really depends on how detailed you need to be. For a lot of timelapse, you shouldn't over think it. Clouds can just be translated across the screen. Light is mostly about shadows, if you have your shadows move over time, it will read as the light changing. If someone wanted dynamic changing clouds and a lot of parallax it could get dicey though lol.

same sort of techniques i saw in elements magic vol 1 and 2 ....great book for begginers who wanna dive straight ahead into fx with 0 basics

[@StylusRumble]

That's probably where I learned it, lol
