Hey there, flood. Does anyone here know any animation programs I can use to get some basic practice? Nothing special, just a program I can use to learn the basics for cartoon animation or digital animation (for video games). Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Never make me angry. I am a Hitman and I can easily find you and take you out.

I use Pencil Animation. But I still haven't succeeded in making my animation a video file...


But yeah, try that one out. :)

I used Cinema 4D because it's so easy to learn and the interface is so user friendly. I use Maya 3D now but if I have something nice in my head and I want to make an animation of it, I use Cinema 4D. It's the best program ever.

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance.

Maya's UI is user friendly. Blender is free though.

Get a note book. Draw the frames of your animation in either the upper or lower right hand corner of each righ hand page. Flip. SUCCESS.
