Next, add the animated 2D characters into the scene and adjust the lighting to incorporate them into the scene. Repeatedly turn 2D image planes into 3D objects until the whole scene is converted to a 3D environment. Turn your 2D planes into 3D props and add glow effect in BlenderĮxtrude the 3D image planes inside Blender to create 3D objects and add lighting to create 3D props that have volume and cast shadows. Finally, one can adjust the camera and export a PNG sequence using CTA 4.5’s latest export features into Blender for 3D environment creation and lighting. Even keys can be pasted onto a specific prop’s timeline to re-use animations, like the flame prop in the following video. 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.
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.
