How I like to Pose out Characters for my Animation (Cutout animation in toonboom)

[@Adrianimations]

I love watching this!! I need to do more draw-overs with poses. It looks like by doing that you're getting a lot more natural posings

[@fabio_gioffre]

hey thanks! And ya it really does help. If there is time I always try and do some drawovers:)

[@princeziwu7366]

Your videos are very helpful. I'm rigging a 360 of my character and I was just thinking of how to push my rig with poses and I chanced on this video. Very insightful Thank you

[@fabio_gioffre]

thank you glad it helped! and ya I alway use this when working with 360 rigs, at least until I am more comfortable with the rig.

[@jbishop72]

Loving your way of working, really frees up your mind working with rigs by drawing over. Thanks for sharing, it's been very inciteful and I shall be using your techniques on my series.

[@fabio_gioffre]

Ya I'm glad you found it helpful. I think it really helps especially when your not really used to working with deformed and stuff. And that's awesome! What is your series about?

[@daniellateibowei6264]

This was super helpful! I'm starting out my first rigged animation job and this made me way more confident⭐

[@fabio_gioffre]

hey wow! congrats, that is huge:) which studio are you working for? and if you need any more help, let me know:)

Thank you for sharing :) I'm currently studying animation and this video really helped me a lot.

no problem! thanks for watching. and cool what year are u in?

[@nohaadel6029]

You are a great instructor thank you.

[@fabio_gioffre]

Thank u! I'm glad u found this useful!

At 9:17, how did you change the layering so that hair is behind everything else? I've been struggling trying to bring a hand in front of the body Also I audibly gasped when you flipped between the initial posing vs. after using the deformation tool. The difference was incredible

[@fabio_gioffre]

Hi! so to change the layer of something in z space I use a shortcut key. Its hold the ¨alt¨ key and press the arrow key up, to send the piece backwards or down to send the piece forwards in z space. and hahaha ya its pretty crazy the results you can get with deformers nowadays! How long have you been animating for?

[@abbyjentson2563]

@@fabio_gioffre Yeah, what I've seen with deformers is intense! I've been animating for 4-5 years now, but I've never messed around with rigs before haha so I'm excited to learn. Thank you so much for answering my question!

[@fabio_gioffre]

@@abbyjentson2563 haha oh that's awsome! What made u make the switch to rigs? And ya anytime:)

[@abbyjentson2563]

@@fabio_gioffre Wanted to try a new technique! Esp. because puppet animation is so prevalent in the industry right now. And using rigs would let focus more on the posing and movement

[@everyhighlight2623]

Nice work, I would like to ask what key do you press when you use those line like polylines? how do you make it appear?

[@fabio_gioffre]

ahh i think its called show deformers. You can set up the shortcut in the preferences section. There is also a button that does it, i think its a orange line with smaller lines running across it.

awesome video, thanks!

Hey.. In anmiation motion tween is good or after tweening cut the tween or make it twos.

[@fabio_gioffre]

Hi! ya I usually start with motion tweens, fix the movements, adjust the overlapping parts and then at the end I convert everything to twos.

[@dodo-toon]

Mr. Fabio What is the practicle powerfull program/software to draw cartoon background?

[@fabio_gioffre]

Hi! I like to use Sketchbook, There are alot of cool brushes. I think Krita is a free program that is good. And if you know a bit of 3d blender is the best becuase u can do 3d and 2d in it.

[@emmanuelcodilla5414]

Hi Fabio, please make video how you do the animation, same as this. thanks

[@fabio_gioffre]

hey! and yes I'll try and record one this weekend

[@TiffanyNg100]

That’s so freaking fast! You moving so fast

[@fabio_gioffre]

Haha thanks, I still feel I move pretty slow but there is still so much time to improve:)

[@RCSXDV]

I'll remember this.

[@fabio_gioffre]

Hey Robert! I hope it helps

[@fabio_gioffre]

[@ojanimates144]

I think Moho is more logical and easier to learn? I could be wrong, but Tun Boom looks weird.

[@fabio_gioffre]

ya you could be right. I have never tried moho but toonboom can be very complicated. There are just so many things packed in, its pretty inimidating to start out.
