where can i get freetutorials to do animation

well the title says it all actually i am interested in doing animations and i just dont know where to start i do know some basics of java(it was taught in my school)

 

Huh, java?
You are intereseted in what kind of animation with which software?
Flash? 2D hand drawing animation? Or 3D animation with Maya or 3Ds max?

 

if you want to learn 3d animation using Maya, which is what I use, there are some great tutorials on learning-maya.com. Also there used to be great resources on the official maya website. Lynda also do some, free if you get a free trial .

 

i am interested in 2d animation

 

i am kind of interested in doing animations like that of famous cartoon series dragon ball z or naruto

 

You are interested in cartoon, so you can use "Maya".

 

If you wanna do the Japanese animation type,
maybe you can learn Retas!Pro.
Many of the Japanese animation studio use this,
except this, you may also want to learn about Animator Studio.

i haven't tried them yet, so maybe you will need to search for tutorial yourself.
2D animtion has troublesome process, you need to draw 24 to 30 pictures each second for the animation to run smooth.
if you are beginner for 2D animation, i think you can make some simple gif with Ulead GIF Animator first for some experiment about animation movement.

 

there are loads of tutorial sites.you can start off with basic animation using photoshop, i recommend "good tutorials"

 

is there any animation tool which supports my laptop ram i.e only 256mb and 1ghz

 

I would skip the Maya talk, not only it would not run on your laptop -it takes ages to master and its cartoon shading is not that great.

Not to mention how much does it cost...

Have a look at SmithMicro's Anime Studio. Easy to use and does exactly what you need.

 

usually every software already includes a tutorial, you can find in help or tutorials directly if there...3dmax already includes full tutorial

 

Following page is the good place to start:
w3schools.com/flash/default.asp

 

i like photoshop

 

blender is great for 3d
you can search tutorial too for easy

 

I suggest using "Adobe Flash". It's fun and simply easier to use then those 3D Programs.

You could look up FlashKit and Angry Animator for Flash Tutorials
