Onion Skin Trailing Tutorial - "Smoothness", and how to do it"Smoothness" is a subjective term, accepted within the community as a way to determine a "good-looking animation". That is too subjective. Within this forum, "smoothness" is accepted as an animation that has a good incorporation of the basics, including mostly onion skin trailing. Onion skin trailing is, in its essence, having a segment follow a logical trail within the onion skins (the onion skin is the transparent preview of the previous frame). In order to follow this concept, it is easier to keep 3-4 onion skins, which can be enabled by clicking Edit > Options, and then choosing the desired onion skin count. An animation that does not follow this concept can very potentially look very good, but it will not have the so called "smoothness". An example is below, which although isn't that bad, does not look truly impressive; The movement does not look choppy because it follows the concepts of acceleration, but if you take a good look at it, it looks like it has a quite limited movement, its mass doesn't seem to have momentum at all, and that is what onion skin trailing is about, implementing momentum into an animation. Download the .piv file here. Here's an example of an animation with onion skin trailing incorporated into it; As you can see, the arm, having two segments, the arm and the forearm, disposes of a momentum effect, the arm is going down but the force pulling both segments down is not as strong as the forearm's momentum force pulling it upwards, but as soon as the arm's force defeats the forearm's momentum both segments will be going to the same direction. Download the .piv file here. To get an onlook of what happens with onion skin trailing; Each segment has its own movement course, the red line shows the circular motion the segments should have. Each movement gives the segment momentum, the tendency to keep moving that direction, which requires more force for it to go the opposing direction, meaning that when the segment it is attached to gets faster, it will stop going to the opposing direction and also accelerate along with the base segment, but the base segment will always accelerate to the desired direction first. I hope this helps, if you have any suggestions to improve this tutorial make sure to leave them below! Attachments:

Although the .piv file helps, it is not really necessary - but regardless, I have to update this tutorial, it is too subjective.

It is not a must, but also helps if you are editing frames. I recommend not taking it too seriously at first, do some average tests first and slowly start doing your best, otherwise you might get way too bored of it as you may feel it has too many requirements.
