Animation Ideas Generator

What is an animation idea prompt?

An animation idea prompt is simply a helpful idea or a guideline meant to inspire creators and give them the next art project goal to tackle.

Animation Idea Generator Tutorial

1) Pick one of the 6 features you want to generate and click it to see a randomly generated art prompt.

• or you can also press the “Generate All Prompts At The Same Time” to see all art prompts show up simultaneously.
  (I prefer doing them individually; I find it more exciting!)

2) If you don’t like any of the prompt ideas, you can regenerate them simultaneously by clicking the “Generate All Prompts At The Same Time” button.

• or if you like most of them, just refresh the ones you don’t like.

• tip: for the ultimate challenge, try combining multiple animation ideas into one crazy animation, how fun!

3) Take a screenshot of the results or copy the environment generator ideas somewhere so you don’t lose them. It’s time to begin drawing a unique creature design!

Animation Ideas Generator Features

This generator for animation ideas has six different variables. You can choose to use all of them or only some. Here’s what they represent:

• Character Animation ideas: simple character actions, emotions or interactions, like waving a hand.
• Slice of Life: things and actions present in our daily lives and mundane activities, like making coffee.
• Environmental Animation Ideas: nature landscapes, places, animals, and events, like forest fires.
• Situations and Stories Animation Ideas: human or animal interactions with the world, like a dog chasing its tail.
• Fantasy – Sci-Fi Animation Ideas: fantasy worlds, objects and entities, like a futuristic soldier. (but what action you animate them in is up to you!)
• Abstract and Effects Animation Ideas: natural, action or abstract effects, like swirling smoke.
