This tutorial is primarily a summary of personal experience. Hope to give the rookie and other old bird some help. The main purpose is to add points. Okay, let's go:

In animals, the less the leg animation, the better. So I found a piece of the animation of their own to make a tutorial. The bird is usually two legs. Two wings. The main performance of the animation is the wings. The first step is to draw a body.

As shown in figure:

The above is the distribution of the keyframe. Each frame is labeled. of these. 1, 8th frames and NO. 2.7 frames are the same, personally think, draw a better bird to fly animation, at least 8 keyframes. Of course. It's OK to be lazy sometimes. As long as the effect is gone. haha.

It is important to note that the animation of the bird body in each key frame copy on it. The wings and tails need to be changed.

Build by frame and look at the distribution of key frames, in order to show the dynamics of the birds waving under the wings in reality. The 17 to 20 frame distribution on the timeline is shorter. In this way, the bird will swing its wings at a fast speed.

Continue to deepen the flight, the birds in flight, the body is not to stay straight. So, we're going to adjust the position of the bird in each frame. Please look at the line draft. When the wings swing, the bird's position should be at the highest point.

To replicate 2 of the already established bird MC, change each of the other two keyframes and arrange them on the timeline. As shown above. To achieve a simple bird's eye view of the 45-degree perspective. The birds in the front of the scene should be shrunk, and the last side of the bird MC enlarged.

With beautiful scenes and big white clouds. A bird's overlooking animation is done.
