![]() ![]() Every scene required compositing at the end, but the minute details that brought it to life were baked into every frame as it was captured. Think, for example, of the intricate details in the stop-motion feature Isle of Dogs, where they created elaborate sets with hand-crafted tufts of cotton or wool to look like smoke. To some degree, that’s possible in the compositing process of hand-drawn animation, but the more it’s built into the character and background design from the beginning, the more authentic to the directors’ and designers’ vision the final product will be. It’s important to understand that in computer-generated animation, both 2D and 3D, there are all sorts of effects that can be easily applied with a keystroke-motion blur, parallax, or filters can all be added to the clean characters or to background plates. He cites the watercolor studies of Albrecht Dürer’s Young Hare as an example of the way the choice of materials contributes to the viewer’s experience of the environment-in this case, one of organic motion when they’re in the forest setting. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once that was established, the wildness of the forest made a lot of sense as pencil, charcoal, and watercolors which, again, were a practice in medieval Europe.” Before – A production animation cel from Wolfwalkers… After – … and the finished frame. Look development for characters and environments takes place during the pre-production period, as well, when everything from the line quality to the color palette to the materials they’ll use to achieve the desired aesthetic is established. It’s also the time during which the team finalizes casting and records the voice performances to create a fleshed-out animatic that serves as the road map for production, a kind of visual script. Wolfwalkers’ core production (from layout to finished composition) took just over 18 months. Working on Avid, Mark guesses that they had more than a dozen different story cuts over the course of the two years they spent prior to commencing animation production. “But from the beginning of storyboarding to the end of compositing, color grading, and sound was only about three and a half years, and what we consider the core of production, from layout to the end of compositing, was just over 18 months.” Then in the Keyframer the source is set to the Custom Brush.“From conception to delivery was a very long time, as it always is,” says Mark Mullery. In the screenshots below, the sword has been copied to a Custom Brush, the handle set to the end of the sword hilt. The pivot point will be the one you set on the Custom Brush. Because the pivot point has already been set on the Custom Brush you have only to set the X-Y-Z position keyframes. Then in the FX Stack > Keyframer set the Source to the Custom Brush. 96#p121057, which is to make the object to be animated into a Custom Brush, then in the Custom Brush panel set the Handle to Custom, and drag the handle to the point where you want the object to pivot. If you want to have an offset pivot point and also change the position and scale of an object with the Keyframer it seems that the best solution is the clever workaround that Peter Wassink mentions here. So if the object being animated has a simple change of Angle (pivot) like the example I showed above with the sword pivoting from the point set at the end of the sword hilt there is no problem, but if the object is also changing position (X - Y) and scale (Z) the Offset Pivot point doesn't track with Offset Position coordinates. Yes, it seems as if the problem is that Offset Pivot and Offset Position act independent of one another. But the position controller is not following the pivot in tvpaint 11.7.1. I offset the pivot ,because I hope the object to change position, scale and rotation based on the pivot. ![]()
