​@@nikolailockertsen Please reply

[@nikolailockertsen]

@@or3855 Yes, that is no problem. I used the M1 for this one. As long as you can run the latest ipad OS on it, it will work fine!

Thank you :-) Breakdown will come!

[@yasseford]

@@nikolailockertsen Good because I don't understand how anyone can make something like this on a 12.9" screen! You said "lots of 12k stuff," as in 12k resolution?

[@nikolailockertsen]

@@yasseford hehe. Im very used to that size screen :-) Yes, the elements painted and animated are 12k resolution. To give room to travel around and maintain 4 k :-)

[@Soulsatchel]

The eagle is reasonable. It’s a vanishing point. This? Real magic.

[@dimarelos]

This should be on every Procreate Dreams promo material, it's on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL. Would love to see the process behind this. ✨

[@nikolailockertsen]

Thank you :-) I will show the process!

"Your animation is absolutely beautiful! The attention to detail, fluidity of motion, and artistic expression are all stunning. You've created a captivating and immersive experience that truly showcases your talent. Keep up the fantastic work!"

[@nikolailockertsen]

Thank you very much for your wonderful words :-)

[@shaps]

So much detail in the parallax moves to simulate 3D. I love this!

[@nikolailockertsen]

Thank you :-)

[@doganaydogan1178]

Amazing. I couldn’t break it down on my brain. This is pure creativity.

[@nikolailockertsen]

Almost just a long pan... with a few different speeds

[@Animation_Studio.7]

@@nikolailockertsen No, it's not just a pan, apart from the synchronized parallax and some super detailed 2D images, there is a 3D in what would be the surface of the earth just before the end, the rest is all in 2D, I estimate that you mounted it in blender haha, what I would like to know is, how did you integrate the visual aspect of the floor so that it resembles the rest of the environment. It looks incredible.

[@nikolailockertsen]

@@Animation_Studio.7 haha. Thank you. The groundplane is scaled in Y. Then I matched all elements standing on it to stay in their place. That gives the 3D feel :-)

[@derkater5489]

Your ability to make such masterpieces all by yourself in procreate deserves nothing more then applause and admiration

You always inspire me so much on my animation journey, you show that it doesn’t depend on the software or the tools, if you put work you’ll always find ways to do what you want.

Awesome!! Always creating magic! Trying to figure out the various tricks used to create the 3d camera parallax while watching! The abandoned subway tutorial scene was a great starting point and want to thank you for that! Btw congrats on being featured in the iPad event today! Seeing James Cuda from Procreate and you in the video was like the Leonardo Di Caprio pointing at screen meme for me 🤣

[@nikolailockertsen]

Thank you so much mate! It is fairly straight forward parallax all the way. The closest stuff more faster than the stuff further into the scene :-) but just lots of it. Thank you it was very cool to be there with James, or Leonardo ;-)
