      THANKS! I needed this - so simple and to the point! I wanted to add that mastering this app can be tricky! Without zooming in (ENOUGH) to control the details, it can be frustrating! I wanted to destroy my iPad! But once you learn to zoom in correctly, it's super fun and almost free! Thanks for the tip, it's a game-changer for me!

    This was extremely useful not just for Procreate Dreams but also for illustrators new to animating and may have heard of rigging but aren't too familiar with it yet. This is the perfect synergy of app and technique breakdown! I really, really appreciate the way you explained it! Thank you!

    This tutorial is one of the easiest to understand. I have gone through several tutorials where artists lost themselves in intricate details and lost their grip on the tool. Hope you have more tutorials, is it me or Dreams is really more complicated?

    • @davidpikedesigns
      @davidpikedesigns  10 місяців тому +2

      Glad it was helpful! Concerning Dreams being complicated, it is hard of me to say. I'm used to a mouse and keyboard workflow (Blender, Toon Boom Harmony, etc.). Working on an iPad for me is complicated to start with because it feels so different from my normal process. Also, I haven't extensively tried other animation programs on the iPad (Callipeg, ToonSquid, etc.), so I don't know if those are easier than Dreams. Hopefully, I'll be able to try those other options in the future. Thanks for watching!

    David, you are brilliant! This is so awesome and makes the movement look so much smoother. I had to giggle when you said you were just doing a quick draw. Your fast sketch of the arm and hand looks better than the hand I spend time trying to draw. Anyway, thank you sooooo…. Much! ❤

    • @davidpikedesigns
      @davidpikedesigns  11 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for the great comment and for watching! Hopefully, Procreate Dreams will add shape tools to the program. When that happens, creating simple rigs like this will be much easier because you will be able to line up the circles around the joints to create rotations much smoother than this one. Concerning the "quick" drawing, I did cut out some of the drawing mistakes to shorten the video, so it probably wasn't as quick as it seemed. :)

    Oh and the keyframes you make for the movements of 1 character.. can you copy and paste the all at once for another character? or do you have to do them all over again for the next character? (They the same character just diferent color)

    • @davidpikedesigns
      @davidpikedesigns  Місяць тому

      I put together a simple animation to test this out, and I couldn't see a way to copy and paste keyframes from one track to another. I think that would be a great option to have, but with the slow development of Procreate Dreams, I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

    • @davidpikedesigns

      To my knowledge, you can't do that in Procreate Dreams yet. I checked the manual to confirm. It doesn't offer extensive color palette options like other animations programs, such as Toon Boom Harmony or Blender.

    • @davidpikedesigns

      If you can work on a PC or Mac instead of an iPad, I would say Moho is the best option. In my opinion, it offers the best functionality to price ratio. Also, they have a very extensive training course for free on UA-cam. I've been using Toon Boom Harmony, but it is expensive, and I've considered transitioning to Moho. They show some really great animations on their channel.

    • @davidpikedesigns
      @davidpikedesigns  10 місяців тому

      I have tried, but I'm not certain it is ready for a process that complex, especially if you've used Moho or Harmony in the past. It is possible, but I think it is a bit limited without additional functionality, such as deformers. I think it will improve, but I would probably stick to simple rigs at this point.

      In the latest version of Procreate Dreams (1.0.9), they have included some changes to the undo/redo functionality:
      • In Movie Settings -> Preferences you can now choose to have permanent Undo and Redo buttons on your Stage.
      • You can also disable undo and redo tap and hold gestures.
      • The default timing for Rapid Undo has been slowed down, but you can also adjust this in Movie Settings -> Preferences.
