Combined 2D illustration and 3D animation techniques

Get to know Martiniano, how where he comes from has influenced his career, his professional trajectory as a designer and animator, and his main references that go from some anime classics to some of today’s animation professionals with an original style.

Explore new ideas by sketching (or microsketching, as Martiniano calls it) until you find one that works for you. Define the composition as well as your conceptual point of view as a guide, to achieve a solid animation by the end of the course.

Enter the 3D world and start modeling a magic room that changes according to the behavior of your character. Work the color, materials, and the animation until the render is done.

Next, step into the 2D universe. Review the traditional animation’s fundamental concepts and apply them to your work. Analyze the two types of animations that you can do and get to work on creating your piece frame-by-frame with ToonBoom.

Once you have created both animations (3D and 2D frame-by-frame) it’s time to unite them in Adobe After Effects and with Martiniano’s expert tips, achieving one perfect and unique animation, adding the final touches of your render.

To conclude the course, Martiniano shares with you the best way to share your work on social media.
