Blender Animatics | Complete Guide by Mario Movie Storyboard Artist

[@DarrinNoNAME]

I feel this is a subject matter that is missing content in the blender community..we don’t see a whole lot of storyboard content for blender and it’s definitely needed. More please! Maybe you could show us the Mario storyboard stuff at some point.

[@punwind7039]

100% Agree. I want to see allll the grease pencil storyboard tutorials and workflows!

[@BlackMantisRed]

It’s so cool knowing my favourite program is being used in the industry.

[@Giga_Hood]

here's a tip for you, shift+Tab opens a radial menu at your curser that allows you to switch to every mode in blender (object, edit, weight paint, etc.). Personally I rebound the shift+Tab shortcut to just Tab (there's literally a check box in preferences to flip the functionality, by default just Tab flops between Edit and the last mode you used and shift+Tab opens the radial menu, I find the radial menu more convenient and faster on one button so I switched the functionality to just Tab opening the radial menu)

[@BouncyBrainGames]

This is amazing! Thx for that

[@elogan5817]

For anyone confused on how to set different modes as their own shortcut, go to preferences -> keymap -> 3D View -> Object Non-Modal -> Add New. The rest should be self-explanatory, it's just the way you have to hunt for submenus that can trip you up Great vid btw, looking forward to test that approach in the future

[@CyrussBell]

Thank you for this! The final product in the film looked awesome and this was a great use of 3D space!

[@DeadnyMaster]

This video makes me wonder Why I'm not learning how to animate in blender yet. I'm an Opentoonz animator. Somentimes I animate on a desactualized version of Ibispaint just because of TWO features that are very VERY usefull. The lazo painbucket tool and the deforming tool. That features aren't on Opentoonz, but THEY ARE on Blender. And not only that, you can animate on 3D and 2D at the same time!!! Seriously, I don't know why I'm not learning how to use this program right now

[@gradient5319]

DO IT RIGHT NOW

[@muchonice]

This is the future of storyboarding. Thank you for sharing your insights.

[@Calena]

[@blenderdiscord]

This is amazing, I love the process so much! If this is the storyboard I really want to se the final.

[@ethanhegge]

incoming panic attack for all the potential with this! Thanks Guy for sharing the process, would love to see more in this series.

[@FoxBlocksHere]

Ooh! I was wondering what your process was like after I heard about your work on the Mario Movie. Thank you for sharing!

[@Nitemare128.]

l like this type of artstyle mixing between 2d and 3d , Keep going !!

[@LoopBox]

Man thank you so much for this video. Having an experienced artist like you helping the community is gold.

[@fabianogama39]

Wow.. I use blender for storyboarding too and this gave me a lot of amazing ideas to test and incorporate to my workflow. Blender has lots of qualities and the greatest one is its community.

[@Sim___ply]

thats very helpful, THANK YOU.

[@Shka_maru]

Yessss this is what the Blender story artist community has been needing! Thank you for this! Quick question, maybe next time could you go over how to planned and executed your camera animation please? Did you thumbnail the camerawork prior to jumping into Blender? How do you plan complex shots (like this and the mario sequence you boarded? Thanks 🔥🔥🔥

[@coltdeedede]

Thank you so much for sharing this! Super inspiring and insightful!

[@Nkanyiso_K]

This is so awesome, thank you for making this 🙌🏾 💜

[@Teledidar]

amazing tutorial🤯 hope to see more of this in the future

[@Dwiki_RP]

Thanks, really helpful! Please make tutorial like this more often.

[@JasonTCampbell]

I'd love to see some getting into grease pencil itself, brushes, the lasso fills you were doing, settings etc if you have suggestions on where to learn about the ins and outs of it. How you went about making that explosion. All great stuff, thanks so much for sharing.

[@BouncyBrainGames]

Thx! I wanted to keep this first video at reasonable length, but I can go more in depth on specific things if I see there's interest. If anyone would like to see these lemme know in the comments!

[@riccardobiagi7595]

@@BouncyBrainGames Yeees more in-depth grease pencil tutorial please :D

[@Estel_]

This is PERFECT! Just what I was looking for! Thank you for sharing your process. I would definitely want to see more storyboarding content. Question: When do you decide to end/start a scene? How do you define a "good cut"? Thank you for sharing!!!

[@artisticboy15]

Thanks!

[@smallface_]

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@J.KINGTOONZ]

Very interesting setup and process👍

[@SERGIORONCHETTI]

This is awesome!!!

[@Boxels]

Im' a CTA5 rig animator, trying to combine it with grease pencil and 3d in blender. Good times coming.

[@animbot6817]

Great video, alot of great tips and interesting to see your workflow. While I use Blender from time to time I'm not familiar at all with Grease pencil what tool are you using to do the color? It seems to be automatically filling in your boundaries.

[@geeqchase6492]

Would you consider making a course cause i would definitely purchase this course.

[@Sanpaku-san]

very cool, Not sure if I'll try this anytime soon, grease pencil seems a bit daunting rn. I do really like animating in Maya though.

[@gabrilapin]

This is so cool

[@punwind7039]

Do you draw with a mouse? Or pen stylus

[@BouncyBrainGames]

A stylus!
