Blender Breakdown - Recreating Spiderverse's Camera 

I made a similar tutorial a few weeks ago, but I didn't think about how a fast moving camera would affect animation moving on 2's. The camera compensation is a great solution to this. Glad I came across this on twitter.

This is crucial for 2D+3D animations. Thank you for sharing this solution.

the sliding part on the vehicles is an old technique.. its most seen use is for those typical cartoon intros where a raven or some other bird flys into the background , with limited animation on 2s or 3s for the bird but smoothly against the tweening and scaling background.(the technique comes for free with 2d animation and is therefor in almost every 2d shot to a degree, to disable/compensate it you have to tween the animation layer instead ) to achieve that in 3d they parent miles rig to the camera(just like an animation layer in a 2d animation prog is static to the camera) and then create the animation poses on top of that. when you put a ruler over the the slowmo footage you see that he is exactly parented to the camera in "2d space". just like the old technique described above . your method works too and is pretty cool , but approaches the exact same problem from a different angle.. edit : i actually confirmed it , many shots in the movie use the technique (to a degree), sometimes it almost looks like theyve added stopframes in post on the character layer to actentuate the effect even more but i could also just imagine that

Thank you for the free plugin!

Would rendering the scene twice, once with just the background, then a second time only the character with half framerate not work easier?

TYSM!!

Very cool video :0 so much cool and handy info :)

Super powerful add on. Am having problems with making it work for Blender 3.0. Any chance of an update?

Does it woks with alembic animated at 2s or it just recognice when there is diference between keyframes only?

ur mic a bit ..... bad and stuff but good info...

thanks!

Thanks! And Spider-Susanne was a nice touch. I had a chuckle

I'm wondering as I watch this if they just composited spidey on 2s on top of the background which included lighting and shadows of spidey on 1s. Do you think they could achieve this the same way?

Hey man, this is cool. But Isn't this problem coming from the method of animation? Because if you animate in twos in a traditional way you don't get this type o jitter, at least I never get. Anyway, I liked how the move of the character is combined in a rough way with the interpolated traffic, normally if I get something in twos I put everything in twos to avoid this slide of the character. I tried to get this effect and it's not that trivial, it looks like the character is tied to the camera, parented, because the movement of the camera maintain the character intact relative to the camera and everything else moves. After some trials I get a rough solution, I did the camera movement and layout, used a "child of" constraint in a empty tied to the camera, in the case, without rotation and with only a axis activated, made the monkey (aka suzzane) a "child of" the empty and finally animated it in twos, in the final of the animation I had to animate the influence to get the character fixed where I get him, but in a totally action shot like that you don't even need to do that.

Anyone know how to fix jittering in 3ds max?

You are a hero! I've been in love with the movie since I saw it and I have an animation in the works inspired by it. It'd be a huge help if you ever decide to make a series of breakdowns/tutorials.

Hey，enjoyed your video very much! You mentioned about full blender tutorial about anime style FX before, hope you still planing to do it, looking forward to see !

Just bought it! That was exactly what I needed for my project :)

Is there a way to delete 2nd frames automatically in blender? I mean if you have a long clip then deleting them manually would take a considerable time.

This is exactly what i wanted thank you so muchhhhhhhhhh

bro what about shaders please make a video on it, your shader looks way cooler than every one...by the way appreciate your work 🙌

stepped interpolation joins the chat

Bro you just saved my animation.

Awesome,

Pretty cool! I need this since im beginning animation

Suzanne op

Does this work for multiple characters in a scene?

I love cgi films animated on 2s like sponge on the run and in the spider verse!

I was wondering If only a part of the character is moving on the shot, counter animate the whole rigg would result Into a worst jittering on the static body parts right ? How do you get away with this :) Thanks for the vidéo it is a really interesting topic

If the shadows are rendered on 1s and the character doesnt move when it is frozen at all then this SCREAMS to me that its just some compositor stuff. Sounds like a way simpler solution...

I am animating a short for college and this will be very helpful. I will let you know and credit you, Thank you so much

Any thoughts on perhaps making something similar for Unreal Engine? 😅

Great work. Reminds me of Spider monkey from Ben 10 haha

Can you do the paper man meanders addon ? Or 2d paint overs like guilty gear

Thank you very much for your work and research! Just downloaded it!

Nice job

This is pretty cool

He blender anime style is very good

Wow

And lineart tracing

would this work if the camera is rotating around an object and I want the change of perspective of the object to be animated in 2's?

The

When the next video been waiting on the line mode addon @ 0:23

WOw how long did it take to the manual key frame removal part? PS isnt his shadow simply casting @8:54 IF his shadow is moving, he is also moving.You so his position translates but his body doesnt

Wait a minute, now im more interested in what ever that was at 0:26

Does it work on Blender 3.3? also, is it possible to update the button to automatically parent the camera with the newly created empty?

you can do it with after effects (posterize time effect)

Gotta say it's smart to have your social media links pop up on the video like that. Well, I don't know if it's smart, but I sure as hell appreciate the clarity with which you presented the information. It's not on a grid, so the icons aren't unnecessarily big - it's on a line, so it's very clearly readable, and it's also high contrast due to the black background.
