The second part is the actual production in which we create the characters. First preproduction in which we are going to create the story, script, storyboard and animatics using the grease pencil as a primary tool.

Like 3D animation in Blender, the process of creating a 2D animation project goes through 3 different stages. Not to mention other Blender tools to work on good looking and smooth animations, proving that Blender for 2D animation isn’t a myth. In addition to the short film Hero, several animation artists are using the grease pencil tool. It has a Build modifier to animate the drawings similar to the Build modifier for 3D objects. It comes with a new multi-frame edition mode with which you can change and edit several frames at the same time.

Popular Japanese animation studio Khara, announced on Friday that it will be moving to open source 3D software Blender as its primary 3D CG tool. As shown in the image above – a workflow midway between conventional 2D animation and 3D compositing. The team were able to project backgrounds onto a spherical environment and to arrange foreground elements on layers in 3D space. As well as animating the characters using a traditional stroke-based workflow. It was created using an interesting mixture of 2D and 3D techniques. Blender Institute has released in 2018 this steampunk-ish 2D animated short created entirely in Blender. Blender is a powerful software in terms of 3d animation.Īfter few years of working on the grease pencil tool, the team decided to showcase the power of 2D animation in Blender 2.8 through a short animated film called Hero.

The Blender conference 2019 presented many new tools concerning painting.In this mode, the RMB (Right Mouse Button) is generally used for selection and the LMB (Left Mouse Button) initiates or confirms actions.
