How I put 2D Animated Characters on 3D Sets with BLENDER

I talk about how I imported my 2D animation into Blender, while putting them on a 3D scan I took with my iphone!

That was really interesting!

[@V.U.4six]

The man, the myth, the legend!!

[@jujhar.]

Yeah also love ur vids

[@Dottottori]

Keke! 😀

[@alkalinea]

hi ;D

[@the7guy]

Does this mean that keke will make a 2d/3d animation?

[@thecampingyeen2524]

this is basically like what every early 2000s film was like

[@totallynoteverything1.]

this is what TAWOG was and still is

[@lightrocket2391]

[@DiggoryJiggory]

Love seeing people doing art in creative ways

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

Makes my future art doing easier

[@ManuelFer9]

We NEED a step to step tutorial on this!! This is insane, I was looking for something like these for a long time, so I truly appreciate you taking the time to share it with us!

[@GetGudMillhouse]

YES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! YES! I'm also using blender for my 2d animations and would love to see more content like this on KZbin. If you won't be pushing blender x 2d animation. I guess i will even though I'm not to confident in my work hahaha

[@kiraqify]

I'll happily watch your progress. I'll check out some of your videos

[@Ryuukenzan]

We definitely need a step by step tutorial of this.

[@CHITUS]

It's probably one of the most seamless hybrid cg/2D animation which doesn't throw off my head.

[@aleph618]

Your characters are brilliant.

[@mrdarryljones1]

Cool idea to use Blender as a pre-compositing step in addition to the general set up! 👍🏾

[@ElyaSpeedpaints]

would LOVE LOVE LOVEEE a step by step tutorial on this!

[@bombboy3427]

Just a quick note, another fun thing you can do is taking an art piece or picture, cutting/or hiding (depending on if its your art and you have the layers) out foreground or portions hiding areas, and turn it into a 3d model. I took a drawing by one of my favorite artists and turned into into a 3d realistic model in almost under week on and off with little knowledge heading in. It was a café where you could see into the windows, rain covering a lot of the canvas, an overhanging canopy, a character in the foreground, and a neon sign. I used copy and pasting along with hand sketching to remove the character, canopy, rain, neon sign, and bloom. I then made more fleshed out versions of the interior characters and décor (in the window) so when the camera moves it wouldn't break the illusion. I put those into the building and textured and bump mapped the bricks of the building, giving them a shiny quality. I made a custom street tile texture, textured it, gave it puddles and splashes, and put rain pouring down. Turned the neon sign into an actual model and the plant on the right into ivy. Made a camera rail and rendered it out. Pretty fun tbh. Just make sure not to post art that isn't yours, and if you do, give full credit for the *art* to the *creator*. Only take credit for the transfer to 3d space, if that.

Finally, we have the lore for the legendary location unknown video.

[@NovanByworks]

8:12 A better way to do this is to edit the plane's vertex normals to point up so the shading matches all general light sources automatically. Select the plane, apply rotation, go into Edit Mode, and use "Mesh > Normals > Point to Target (Alt+L)". Click anywhere and set the Z value to 1000 with X and Y at 0.

[@bradbucknerfl]

I can't seem to get the images to animate. Shouldn't they create keyframes?

[@bug6141]

Imagine if Richard Williams was still here to see this! Technology has come so far.

[@tomnaobi]

power of blender ,i have been using since 2012 ,love seeing this

[@pepper-wood1289]

This is so insanely in depth and incredible, I'm surprised this video is available for free. It's basically 2 tutorials with how you showcase the 3D scans functionality. Thank you so much for this!!

[@readaloudwithabba]

Thank you for documenting your process- I'm trying to learn how to composite my little 2d frame paper- cut out animations into backgrounds for little 5 min videos for kids. I've just downloaded Blender so trying to learn it- it's definitely a learning curve, but this is definitely helping me see the possibilities of what can be done with compositing 2D animated figures into 3D backgrounds. Brilliant work!

[@BergsArt]

Yes, I am currently just finishing up my own animation. Using Greasepencil and 3D environments.

[@nniieemmaanndd]

Also, a more in-depth, step by step would be awesome, please! You did such a good job!

[@leonardoromero2000]

Excellent!

[@Losjo4093]

I am a 3d artist and im trying to get into 2d animation because i think characters look better in 2d and you have more freedom of what i want to do. 2d character in a 3d scene looks AMAZING so thats also one of the reasons

[@NAHELZA]

THIS IS SO SO HELPFUL. I swear, I've been following you for ages and I've learned so much from you but THIS video in particular is the shit. In college right now I'm studying animation and we have a project to finish for the end of the year, for which we're tasked to composite. except they're not teaching us it because..... education, i guess? anyways. THIS video on its own has taught me more than any class ive had this year. stg!!!!! thank you!!

[@BlackMita]

That environment scanning thing has me excited enough I might buy that phone now ! I also had no idea you could manipulate camera's depth of field. Great video! Finding the "Import images as planes" option some weeks back is the sole reason I wanted to seriously try animating, having only ever skirted around the medium, as a hobbyist/illustration only guy.

[@herbertgamwell5364]

Jeez, the Knight Hound(?) clips are INCREDIBLE! Where can I watch full... uh... movie?? His armor shines so in such mesmerizing way, it’s just amazing

[@goob8945]

Excellent!!

[@eric3dee]

Love it! Even if you aren't crazy about Grease Pencil, I'd still love to see videos of you using it. Some things such as blocking out and storyboarding inside 3D space can be pretty powerful. Great work.

[@asahdigitalassets386]

You just helped me fix the VFX element I was using in a test. The planes were casting shadows and I didn't know why. Now I do. Thanks.

[@wulfzendit1135]

2d animation is the way to explore but with 3D scanning technology and blending it with real pictures is awesome . I live in a rual area with a bunch of abandoned buildings could totally make some animation in those empty buildings .

[@adrianlucashernandez9324]

Toniko I love the result you get in these hybrids. Have you thought about removing the outline in these? It's a simple thing but maybe it could take the merging a step above. Just an idea!

[@yukira_karishima]

Emegehhh you watch Corridor Crew too!! I love them and I love your work so this is great

[@darkling-studios]

Btw you can lock the rotation of the plane to point at the camera so it rotates to follow the camera like video game trees from the 90s

[@spiciestmemelord9706]

12:58 okay, so I didn’t mishear that…

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Thanks for this! As pixel artest who is getting into 3D and wants to do video with 2D characters, objects and a 3D envoment like the first FPS games think Doom this was great!

[@artboxartist9935]

Ooh! This was super fun to watch! I'd be stoked for a step-by-step tutorial!

[@congratsguy6037]

Congrats! That was awesome.

[@Hilo..]

Dude! I've been looking for something like this for ages, thank you so much!

Yay a fan of corridor crescendo its my favorite KZbin channel!

Thanks for showing your process on Bassterd Blender. Im going to switch over to Blender for a few Bassterd reasons for my animation films. I have spoken.

[@amp-le4699]

Omg i didnt know you watched Corridor Crew! I love them as well

[@Warlord.editss]

Hi! Your art is super inspiring

[@Name-io8vk]

That 3D scanning is insane to me

[@colormegeeky]

[@PocketTab]

I have no idea what you just said but I like it

[@red_revenant770]

It's like Gumball ♥️♥️♥️

[@ajbanimatedstudios5014]

Instant Sub!

[@bombboy3427]

Your world flipping gave me and idea. Why don't you have the world form around a character? Maybe blank white cubes floating in and creating a scene? Character jumps into the abyss, lands on a cube and continues as more "world slides into place under his feet." Or the world is a Boolean attached to the character, only showing an area within a certain radius?

[@Dantti]

Grease Pencil will support shadows directly in a update or two 🥰

[@kat74809]

Is motion capture considered stealing in your opinion?

I found this way to make a backround sorta, so I draw like a mountain or whatever, then shade, then I erased the outlines, it don’t have to be perfect, but it turns out GREAT, oh yea I did it on mobile app FlipaClip.
