Hi folks! I just found (redacted) while searching for the WigglyPaint deck. There's apparently an iPad app, but the link doesn't w for me. Do you know anything about it?
That site has some great tips for beginners interested in animation. Which makes me wonder: Is anyone using WigglyPaint for animation, and if so, how do you do it? Do you do onion skinning somehow in Decker, to see the frame before?
There are quite a few similar pirate websites spawned from the overwhelming popularity of WigglyPaint. None of them are by me, or created with my permission. I have no ability to update the version of WigglyPaint they provide, I cannot vouch for those sites being free of ads or malware, and many of them don't link to my itch.io pages or my personal website (beyondloom.com), so they actively prevent the discovery of my other projects.
I also have never published Android or iOS "apps" for WigglyPaint or Decker; anything you find to the contrary is illegitimate.
I would appreciate it if people refrained from linking to these pirate sites and apps. I don't use social media, so it is impossible for me to even consider correcting the countless misinformed users who share these URLs with one another. It is very frustrating to offer my work for free and still have it stolen.
Yeah, unfortunately any apps for mobile are unrelated to the official wigglypaint.
I've seen some wigglypaint animations, though!
Youtube user 角赤pulupo has posted wiggly animations on their youtube channel ... sometimes using their own personal modified Wigglypaint (it's blue and has a larger range of colors than default wigglypaint).
There's also been wigglypaint video meme(?) where people draw a series of wiggly images to match a vocaloid song. Here's one that's more animated than the purely slideshow types. I think sometimes people use screen capture for this format. And some of these have mixed other animation tools in while still using the wigglypaint user interface like this one.
And then there's this other short animation someone made that I think is really cute. (It definitely used tools outside of wigglypaint to connect everything together)
That's what I can remember quickly enough to find links, haha.
I'm sorry that there's not a specific easy answer in here, but maybe there's some food for thought in all of this. I do animate in decker, but not with wigglypaint specifically.... I know it's definitely very possible to create new tools inside of decker to help you make animations (I have a non-wiggly onion skin helper tool that I made for myself). I think it's just a matter of knowing what you want those tools to do in relation to how wigglypaint already works -- and then making them.
