Back when you were most active, a couple of years ago, I had to do a lot of character-illustration and animation at my job and it was always great fun. And of course I watched a lot of your videos I am happy you are back and I feel a little bit of the joy from back then. :)

Don't duplicate your layers - simple add a Tint FX or Fill FX, add a mask - and then toggle down on the FX to the 'composition' setting, press '+' and select 'Mask 1' - Now the tint is only occurring where mask 1 is, you can feather it, add more effects and masks - all on one layer. Why do this? Because if you follow the method in the video and want to change the original shape, you've got to then update all the duplicate layers. Plus you want to avoid having lots of layers, it's messy.

what i did in the past is duplicate the layer but then also reference the original shape path. thanks for the suggestion!

That character at the end, how did you make that knife appear like that? wow

ok now I'm really interested in how you did the shine on the knife

Pretty cool. But would be interesting to see how you would translate that technique in motion, like if the fingers move or bend etc!
@ChrisKoelsch2 жыл бұрын
my thought as well, it would be a lot of manual work to keep that look consistent in motion
@ross2 жыл бұрын
@@ChrisKoelsch there's ways of rigging that would keep the shading consistent with minimal extra keyframes.

now that WOULD be interesting. i'll have a think about a tutorial for that.

I think after you are done with animation, then it would be convenient to just duplicate the animated layers and add shading after wards.

Would love to see a tutorial on how you accomplished the hair and fabric animation on your knife character.
@WalrusesAreTheOne2 жыл бұрын
me too. I slowed it down and saw that it was a bunch of white, rotating stars/triangles that sweep along the edge of the knife, and another distorted white layer on top of the knife to simulate motion. So interesting how it looks when sped up to normal

this is the way for single still image I guess. can't imagine adding 10+ extra shading layer that don't stick to original layer, and animating the base layer would make all the rest invalid...
@rockybproduction9038 Жыл бұрын
Is there a way you could rig shading like this? I have a project coming up were the lighting is constantly changing and I will need to quickly change the light and shadow direction
