Fanimation for the game "Sky: Children of the light" a mobile game that I really like.
Animation done 100% with Opentoonz v1.4 . Right now I'll probably switch to Tahoma 2D, the Opentoonz branch that is cleaner and nice!
This one is a mix of tradigital animation and simple cutout. I used the raster layers to test how much power the brushes have and to prove you can make a cool(enough) loop from start to finish using only Opentoonz. I really wish it had more functions, it was quite hard to paint overall, a "Draw Behind" function for the brushes would have helped a lot for example.Talking about the cutout, the Opentoonz curves editor is really powerfull for that, together with the Global animation Tool, my fav tool. I just wished the SO option, that animates a layer to be above or below another layer, which it is really helpful, would have its own timeline, its really confusing to use w the other defined movement keys, in the end I had to duplicate layers the crude way were overlaps were needed. I wouldn't recommend animating like this with raster layers until more brushes options became available.
Part of a bigger series of animations done using only freewares.[ONGOING].
Also part of my personal research on animation softwares overall.
final output, directly from Opentoonz render, this animation was done pretty much entirely with the program (the first first sketch was made with RoughAnimator app, but I had to redo it on Opentoonz anyways)
One Minute process (26 hours total). I'm still planing on posting longer versions of the processes on my youtube so keep an eye for that if you're interested!
very first idea sketch done using RoughAnimator app on ipad. I had an idea to make something about xmas at the time but since I couldn't finish it then I changed to a more broad joke idea
