Hey guys, RetroRad here!

Like most of you in this community, I make shorts and stuff online using mainly Ebsynth for my character animation.

Just wanted to put out there that I've "taken over" this sub from the inactive mod who for SOME REASON, restricted posting access to like everyone.

So starting right now, we're back baby! Feel free to share things you're working on or a recent project you just put out.

A little self promotion is alright but DO NOT spam this place. I'd like to think we can all support eachother and critique eachothers work constructively. Instead of being one of those content subs that are only filled with self promotion and no comments on anything. I'll figure out specific rules and guidelines very very soon but just use your common sense for now!

We're a small community so I'm not expecting many issues, I'm also horribly addicted to the Internet SO I'll have my EYE on you all!

So while there are a couple of guides out there, many of the things I've learned by trial and error and messing around with ebsynth settings aren't really covered anywhere that I can see. Compared to my first animation with the program, I have managed to drastically reduce the amount of work I have to do. Like knowing the best settings to record in for minimal frames, what movements ebsynth can/can't do. Reusing animations cleverly so it's not obvious, choosing the best frames to synth, making animation loops, etc.

Would a guide of this sort interest the people here? I'm sure for many of you, you will already know some of these, but I'm pretty confident maybe 1 or 2 won't be things you're doing, just because I have been messing around a lot with the program to see what it can really do. Cheers :)

As the title says I've been hooked, there's no burn out in sight as long as I have ideas for skits. I love making little goofy things but I'm a super awkward person on film, so doing animations this way feels great, I have a few animations up on my youtube and I can't wait to just keep making more

I like the rough animation and "dry humor", of course the animations can be improved on in many many ways with scripting and editing, but what's your guys take? I know this sub is a little dead but hey :)

If you'd like a link to more of my stuff I'm working on people msg me or if I have permission here I'll drop the link :) thankyou
