Great video! I am digging this new technique of grabbing mocap positions to then animate over. That Rokoko Mocap suit is for sure on my wish list!

Just finished working on a project using mocap for the first time! I did dive into making my own toonshader and we did use the 3d model for the final rendering, but it's very hard indeed to get a truly 'handdrawn' feel with this and I must say I'm not conviced by our end result. Especially a 3d face takes so much time to not make it look horrible! Even though we had a lineless style, the lighting is just so 'perfect' all the time and different to how I would draw light by hand. It easily ends up making the whole thing look 3d-ish.
Personally I'm much more a fan of using 3d the way you've been growing into with this film; as a reference to greatly speed up the 2d work and maybe some stuff for far away. Your videos and workflow are always inspiring and motivating me to keep on finding that perfect sweet spot between 3d and 2d skills Olof!

I’m a 3D artist and I love 2D … I wouldn’t mind having both worlds … btw your work is amazing man keep it up :)

[svenhegenmusic]

Damnit, I was just about to suggest rendering only a few blocking frames and doing the in betweening by hand and then you talked about exactly doing that. Excited for the film!

[GetToThePointAlready]

Definately subbed to this channel. I hope to someday be this good at 3d and 2d animation. Great work!

I'm looking forward to the day Blender fixes the odd 3d feel when it tracesthe lines. We can be less dependant on hand drawing the inbetweens and fully use the automating trasing to do more animations.

This man is going to make then next Spiderverse, and I'll be waiting to watch it.

The best of both worlds 🌎 I can't wait to get my own mo cap suit one day

[BrownlandPictures]

Wishing all the best to all artists watching 🙏🏾

You feel cheap for using your own acted out motion data for reference? I thought this is the anime industry standard today.

[bitjame]

You're cool. I would like to see more lessons on modeling, environment, atmosphere, etc.

There’s always arguments between 3D and 2D animators, I say why not use both of them to your advantage? great job!

[julioperonerocholl]

Watching this video, you gave me new horizons. I can directly animate in 3D and then create the animation in 2D by drawing on top! Can both dimensions be used?! Amazing, what I was looking for. Since I like animating in 2D too, but I hate thinking about perspective XD. but in 3D that is already resolved and the drawing is solid too. thanks a lot!

[peggy]

Can I have a tuto on that, that's exactly what I was looking for

[onepresence]

I personally love 2D animation and 3D animation equally. They can create amazing things separately and together. Both have their ups and downs.

We will always have bad 2D and 3D stuff like Berserk 16/17 (3D), The Emoji Movie (3D), Norm of the North (3D), The Queen’s Corgi (3D), Big Mouth (2D), Brickleberry (2D) and Paradise P.D. (2D).

However we will always have masterpieces from both like Spider-Verse (3D), Arcane (3D), How to Train Your Dragon (3D), The Incredibles (3D), The Lion King (2D), A Silent Voice (2D) and Spirited Away (2D).

In the end, i will always love animation in general. No matter what kind of art style 😊👍

Love you sir love from India-West Bengal-City-Kolkata

[mrsauce]

I got a quick question about C4D
Is there a shortcut way to navigate instead of using the top right corner controls?

[ThomasPrz]

Are you using this techniques every time or sometimes you're drawing frame by frame ? An When is better to using a specific techniques instead of the other ? thanks you

[mysterious_monolith_]

5:47 What is the make/model of this drawing tablet please?

[suraj.]

I can see your setup how you use device for animation full setup and how much their prices please reply
