On a semi related note the more I am subjected to Microsoft products the more I become convinced that the reason so many people these days believe themselves to be “bad with computers” is that the programs they are forced to use in their professional life are utterly incomprehensible to ANY rational human being and they are (rightfully enough) extrapolating out that this is just how computers are. They aren't!!! In their quest to remove all the “scary” details from their poor fragile end users Microsoft have created an ecosystem that behaves completely erratically and unpredictably and is by definition unknowable. Things just happen. Then they stop happening. Nothing ever announces why or how. Just a thousand vague and useless popups that may or may not be there tomorrow. I PROMISE computers are actually extremely simple and logical beasts.

Kind Animals Little Cards – version 0.1 Duckling and dandelions

This is a little cards with little animals. Here they are good and kind little animals. It is such a funny thing! Little card with little animal – it is small program. When you open program – and, there, it is little picture and story. Little picture with little animal and story about little animal! There is minimum of settings. As a text color and background color, select language (Russian, English). For positive! Little program for positive!

Now, it is, only, one little card. It has a name – “Duckling and Dandelion”. So, looking at this little card, you can remember summer! So, what a duckling is drawn there! He has so big fun and interesting for him! And, around him – there are dandelions! Beautiful! Maybe, it is everything somewhere at the countryside. Next, duckling will go to swim!

 So, as idea, these little cards – it is for positive! Such a small programs. Maybe, later, it will be something more. So, it is, so, early version, for now. Picture itself, it was drawn a long time ago. And, a story, it was so long time ago. To have some apply of these things into something - I invent such theme with little cards. So, I am, something like, write articles, stories and make drawings – to apply all of these in my projects. So, this time has come for drawing with name – “Duckling and Dandelions”.

First time, I try GitHub for make release at this place. And, this is version 0.1. So, it is early version. But, more or less, it is a complete version. With terms of idea itself, that whole first little card is done! Duckling and dandelion. Little card has a version 1.0.  And project Kind animals little cards – it has a starting point, it start this road from this point!

It is ok to remember summer! Countryside! Field and dandelions! And, there, someplace, he runs – duckling! Let`s sit and remember a summer! And, watch at first little card. With good and kind animals! So, it is a summer at the picture. And everything was so sunny. And good day or morning. What will do duckling? Eat little grass? Or, just, go by the grass. So, look at the little card, read story and make a dreams. Remember summer and countryside! Summer and duckling. What a good start.

This project has such a fun idea. As, someone can say, it is for a reason - to make things interesting! And no need to make them lost – little pictures and stories about good and kind animals!  Duckling speaks – quack-quack!

Little cards with little animals! It is always funny! When it is a summer at the streets and not summer too! Little animals, ducklings. They are doing their own things. They have their own stories. These little cards give you for a moment – one eye to see what little animals are doing there! Well, you, always, does  not see them, as a casual thing. You are, also, are busy with your own things.

And, so, for little animals there – in a grass, in a little river – it is their own world. There, they have their own things to do, and, this way, they spent their daytime. To run to the little river, to watch the grass. To sleep. So, lots of things for little animals under the little sun, for every day! Or get in a hide from the little rain in the shadows of the bush. Lots-lots of something, little animals are doing! They are funny and kind! Good and kind! And funny, full of joy!

So, simply for read a little, about little animals. At the little evening. To drink a tea. Or day. Morning. While, it is a bright sun behind the window. Or in winter to remember about good and kind animals. In winter – they, all of them, are just, go to a sleep! Until little grass starts to grow again, and it is become warm! Now, you know, what little animals are doing, and you remember about them, all the time!

It will be a summer again! And, again, little animals will appear in a field. They will run here and there, again, and, they will do lots of their things. They will have lots of things to do again. And, again, it will be thousands of stories! And, little animals will jump and have fun. To sleep in a grass.

So, for a long time, I want to do something about my friends – good and kind little animals. To remember about them. So, let`s start with duckling and his favorite place – dandelions in a field. There are lots of them in that place. Quack-quack! And, go to another dandelion. Look at this one. And, go to next one. There are lots of them here! How lots of dandelions are in the field! Quack-quack!

So, I have this ability – and send a hello – to all my friends – good and kind animals! And, I wait for a new countryside season to see all of them! They are, just, in spring will awake from a sleep after the winter. And they start, again, to run and do lots-lots of anything! Ahead, it will be a new summer, in the end!

It's raining outside. Your family is watching TV and the computer is free. You open up the image editing software your dad recently installed and want to copy that space pirate girl you saw in your favorite weeaboo magazine. It's a bit hard to draw with the mouse and the loading times of that Pentium MMX processor, but you're happy.

I really like that when I was looking up if there was a way to check if my hard drive was about to explode and die or something I repeatedly saw comments recommending the same software to check it with, and also that software is one that the main version it shows you on the download page is one with an anime girl on it (none of the comments mentioned this)

Like there was a version without images but also 2 other anime girl ones. I'm really glad this exists in the world

As a 5th-Semester Animation Student, I am surprised at how little I actually yell about the animation of this Show.

You guys-

You guys have no idea the actual genius of 9 Story Entertainment and BrownBag Films (The Production and Animation Studio for the Wild Kratts Episodes)

First of all. This is not traditional 2D animation.

This is Cut-Out Animation, also known as 2D Rigged Animation or Puppet Animation. Other shows you might be familiar with that use this technique are Bluey, Hilda, Rick and Morty, or the Big Hero 6 TV Show. There are more but these came to my mind first.

Cut Out Animation can be very limiting, because you work with 2D sprites in a 3D environment almost. The Tech Artists, sometimes called Character Builders, are the ones that take the design of the characters and creatures and build a 2D skeleton of sorts, putting bones inside of the png drawing and allowing it to move. It might sound easy, but trust me when I say it is a tiring process and the node-view is horrifying, haha.

I don't know if people would care for an actual deep-dive into the animation of the show, because believe me, I can talk a lot about it, as someone who is familiar with the animation technique, the technical/character building aspects of it, as well as someone who has actually access to the Software the Animation Studio is using to make these episodes (I kid you not when I say that I am in possession off all the tools to make my own Wild Kratts episode, minus the backgrounds because I hate doing those)

For those that care, THIS is what the animator sees before the episode gets finished, lol

Say hi to "Chad", he was part of the Shortfilm I made with some others in my third Semester at uni.

The purple plots are controllers with which you move the character around.

The green lines and dots are deformers which make the character able to bend and stretch.

Also, the thing in the right window is the beloved node view, or at least a small aspect of it. All these small squares have meaning and I won't even try to explain

While Cut Out Animation isn't my strong suit (Traditional 2D and 3D animation is) I would still be down to talk more about it if anyone cares to listen, lol. Even beyond the software capabilities, the show is actually very interesting to look at from a production standpoint and I would love to just talk more about the animation in general because let me tell you, it is much better than people give it credit for!
