In addition, accessory animations can be edited layer-by-layer using the Sprite Editor with the animation automatically recorded in the timeline. Combined with the use of the Motion Key Editor, one can also adjust the expressions and animations in detail to achieve the desired performance. Since all Content Store characters are fully rigged, applying embedded motions and expressions in CTA is a quick way to block in animation.
Create fast 2D character animations with ease in Cartoon AnimatorĬreating 2D animations in Cartoon Animator (CTA) can save you a lot of time and resources as animators can start off by finding the desired pre-configured character in the Reallusion Content Store. However, 2D animation in Blender does come with its own set of challenges, and overcoming them is what this article is about. Not only is Blender a powerful 3D animation software, but it is also equally capable of making 2D animations. Dedouze is passionate about developing personal art and innovative techniques as well as making a living from his creations.It is now well-known that mixing 2D and 3D animation has become a new trend, especially as more animators are making 2D/3D hybrid animations in Blender. He discovered Blender’s potential while working on a fully animated opening scene for a TV series, using the new Greasepencil tool in the beta version of Blender 2.8. He has worked on storyboards and 2D/3D animation for French TV series, music videos and French feature films. Dedouze switched to a full-time freelance career as an illustrator in 2018. He learned to draw with traditional mediums and in CGI during his free spare time, while he worked as a web developer. Blender is a free, open-source 3D graphics and animation tool that can be downloaded here (where you’ll find Dedouze’s work is currently featured): ĭedouze is a self-taught illustrator and animator based in Paris. Participants must be prepared with a PC or laptop with Blender pre-installed as well as a computer mouse. This will be hosted on the IGDA Twitch Channel! This masterclass is for artists and designers working in diverse fields involving motion graphics, including: animation, illustration, concept art, web development, advertising, etc. 2D animation will be tackled with Blenders sophisticated Greasepencil tool. Dedouze will guide participants through the development pipeline: from the initial storyboard, to creating and compositing animated 2D and 3D objects in the same scene, and finishing with special effects, camera adjustments, final editing and rendering.
In this special online masterclass, kindly sponsored by SAE Institute Zurich, the iconic Dedouze will demonstrate advanced animation techniques in Blender that mix 2D and 3D approaches.
