#40 How to Do Computer Animation

Want to do computer animation? Follow this guide to find out how to begin animating, what software to use and how to share it with the world!

Hello, Friend's today I am going to show you how to start computer animation for beginners.

Steps

Step 1:

Select a computer program. You must select the right app for the right type of animated production. For example, if you are looking to create simple stick figure animations, use something like Pivot Stick Figure Animator. If you are looking to create cartoons, animations, use Anime Studio. If you want to create professional standard 2D animations, use Adobe Flash, from the Master Collection. To create complex 3D animations, go to AutoDesk Maya.

Step 2:

Now you've selected your program, you must learn to use it. Some programs come with inbuilt user manuals, but some don't. If you need help, find an official forum, make use of Yahoo! Answers, or browse YouTube for helpful video tutorials. Learn the basics, even if it seems tedious at first. Remember to try as you learn; don't just watch hours of tutorials and not even open the program.

Step 3:

Share your animation with the world! Export your animation as an MP4 to share it with YouTube, or the official community. Each program is different, but again, use the internet to help you do this!

Tips

• Keep at it! Don't quit if you don't understand within the first day or so!

• Keep your software updated.

• Make sure you save regularly.

• You don't necessarily need a beefy computer to run animation software, but it does help with complex rendering.
