Now, when you make your breakdown, exaggerate it and try to make it in such a way that it cleanly links the two key drawings A and B. Try to do it yourself if possible and study it. Now before making a breakdown, THINK… of the most interesting way to move from A to B. I don’t know! □For making breakdowns, lets do it this way…. Hi there,I’m not sure whats wrong with Jason’s site. They will struggle and you’ll chuckle! □ And of course, no doubt, soon you’ll be found miles ahead from the rest of the crowd. Once you know the power of 2D animation and realize how much it helps you in your 3D animations… I bet, you’ll take its help wherever possible. C’mon you kids! There is no need to be scared of 2D. So, purchase a copy of FlipBook and have fun with it. It teaches you the basics very quickly and really helps you understand the process. The best thing animation students can do is to get familiar with 2D animation. So, its really very fun, easy and quick to experiment in 2D. And posing a CG rig takes not less than 10 minutes or sometimes even more. Drawing a pose with a stick figure takes me about 10 seconds or sometimes even less. In 2D, I’m not dependent on CG rigs and I can experiment freely and figure out things much quicker. 2D gives me a freedom to explore things which I can hardly ever dream of doing in 3D (unless I’m a technical nerd, or a kickass rigger). I’m learning animation, and I like exploring things. Why would I be scared of working in 3D? I don’t get it. “ Hey! Why the hell do you spend so much time in 2D? Are you scared of working in 3D?” A lot of folks ask me this same annoying question over and over …. One more thing I would like to discuss here. Yeah, I know my drawings are horrible… but don’t worry, I’m working on it. COOL!!Ĭheck out these doodles I made in FlipBook. This makes it very easy to work straight ahead and pose to pose. I can play my animation in loop, adjust my timing and watch the results in real time. It’s really cool! Timing is also very easy in FlipBook. In FlipBook, you can directly import your drawings/frames from Maya and then you can time it there in FlipBook, and draw better poses and finally export everything (timing, etc) back into Maya. Though for my life drawings, I like to use Alias SketchBook Pro. The line quality is so good that I can even do life drawings in FlipBook. It really feels and looks like I’m drawing with a real pencil. There is also an option to pick different types of pencils and they all work great. The pressure sensitivity works great and the lines look very smooth and flowing. Finally, I’ve managed to purchase it and I love it! YAY!!Ī few days back I asked Jason, to suggest me a 2D animation software and he suggested me to purchase the new version of Digicel FlipBook, version 5. Very soon I’ll be doing Jason Ryan’s upcoming animation course where he will be teaching his cool 2D-3D approach, cartoony acting, and a lot more! So, I’m really excited for it.
