When can I start trying to make animations?

It really depends. In my opinion its how interested you are in animating! Look for some *inspiration*. Look at a few cartoons and start!

is there a place where i can do 3d animation with graphics and detail like models of people i can animate/

yes, Blender you should try that out, but it's really hard to use.

is a flip book count as a animation

ya because of the charcters or objects moving

When can I make animations?

You can make animation at any age! It often takes practice, but you can start by using things like firealpaca, (used for drawing but can also animate, I use this often) flipaclip, (free, is a phone app) blender, (free, for 3D animation), and many others, like adobe animate, toon boom, and tv paint!

how many steps are there to animation

reference video Key posing Blocking Splining Smoothing Adding life

Do we have to be a certain age to publish our animation

nope you don’t have to be a specific age

which application is used for animations?

Honestly, you can use many different applications, softwares, and scripting to animate your 3D or 4D models after you completed them. If you have a 3D model after you made it you will need to save it to you desktop and go to https://www.autodesk.com/solutions/3d-animation-software to animate your beautiful 3D models! Run along now and get animating and MAKE YOUR PARENTS PROUD!
