Yeah you can a 3d and 2d animation job for example Disney Televison Animation does both all of the Dinsey Junoir stuff is 3d and all the animated tv shows on Disney Chanel are in 2d so you might be able to work on sereveal projects where you can use both skills.

Hi! When you animate a character displacement, do you move global or hip/torso? I know that for video games you don't touch global. But, for film / non loop? If a character walks from point A to B, I need use IK legs so I only displace torso (it moves entire character) and I left global in origin point. Is that correct? Thanks!

Hey Sir ..


I hope you're doing well .. great work here as well ..
I'd like to ask you .. can you make a video about animating on 1's, 2's and 4's explaining the differences between them ?? .. I learned about them not too long ago .. but I still can't wrap my head around them and see a clear vision while watching Spiderman: into the spider-verse .. so can you do something to help me with that .. thanks


one more thing .. what's your opinion of Houdini FX ?? (as a vfx app of course not as an animation app)

take care

I think this is the question of most of the animators and that is : when we translate from stepped mode to spline(or auto or whatever), how to make the movement smooth ( cause it's robotic)
I know when we create key poses we are still in the half way and we're not done with our job, when we finish key poses now it's time to work on breakdowns and inbetweens, but don't know how to do it,
can you please make a video about this and show an example how to do that?

Well actully it depends on part of the pipeline you´re going into you don´t need to know anatamy for animation put if you´re a riger then you do need to know anatamy so you know where to put the bones aka controls.

to animate a ghost or a spirit with some kind of viscosity, how will u do the rigg? spline ik maybe?

im in nigerian and animation is really young, only a few years, do u think that animation would be taken over by computers in a few years time? and that animators need to shift focus on task other than animation in the digital art industry?
