Welcome to Animation Jolts!

Share your animations and creations! Make sure to read the rules before posting.

(Community under construction)

Rules

The GameJolt TOS also apply.

• No NSFW or anything suggestive at all;

• Be civil. No arguments, harassment, witch hunting... etc.

• The animations you post must be YOURS!

  If it's a collaboration project, make sure to credit those that are involved.

  If you want to show off someone else's animated work or have a discussion about it, post in the General channel.

• If you used copyrighted assets, make sure to credit their creators.

  This can also apply for copyrighted music and sounds.

• Post in the appropiate channels

  For example, if you made a 2D animation, then put it in the 2D animation channel.

  If you're in doubt to where to post, there's info of what channel consists of.

• We encourage you to specify the program where you made your animation! (Unless it's traditional or stopmotion).

  This way other people can learn more about your animation and try the program out for themselves.

• No AI content.

  Fully AI generated animations is NOT welcome.

Breaking these rules can result in either your post getting moved to other channel (if you accidentally post it on the wrong channel, for example, happened to me a lot...), or being ejected off the community.

  This channel is for discussions related to animation, or mixed media animations.

  This channel is for any 2D animation made digitally!

• 3D Animation

  This channel is for any 3D animation made in a 3D program.

Resources

Looking for animation programs? Here's a list of them, FREE and PAID.

2D animation

• FlipaClip FREE

• Adobe Animate PAID

• Procreate Dreams PAID

3D animation

• Blender FREE

• Blockbench FREE

  Altough it's more used as a low-poly modelling software (mostly known for its use in Minecraft and Hytale), you can animate your models on it.

You do not need a program to make an animation though... Animation is the art of the movement being drawn, not the drawings being drawn!
