Wow is nice to know how everything was done and I thought some parts was made in 3D. 😍😍😍 the BEST animation film from Netflix I freaking love it, it made me cry to the end 😭😭😭😭
I'm baffled, I was certain the movie was a blend of 2D and 3D; The lighting looks very precise, like it's applied on a 3D model, but i a very deliberate way, not fully constrained by realism. I thought there was some trickery to tailor the 3d to the intended render, like a gradient applied depending on the direction of the surface, but no, it appears its just good 2D animations tools painstakingly applied frame by frame to give the impression of volume. I thought such a render was just too time consuming and impractical to be done without 3D being used for rendering, but it appears it's mostly not the case (I have very few doubts that 3D was used to pre-visualize the lighting of sets, and some camera movements. So I was expecting the blurring of the line between 2D and 3D to come from the same direction as it was in "spiderverse", 3D looking like 2D, but it actually approaches things from the complete opposite direction, and it's freaking wild!
Both Klas and MOE are custom software made for the studio exclusively ... They are neither available for download nor for purchase unfortunately...I just hope ADOBE or other software producers make such a great thing available for the public.
@@richardrd2121 its a tedious process of tracking a body part like the face and attaching shadow/highlight layer with a blending mode. You would then need to mask out unwanted areas either through a normal matte or a rotoscoped cut (on a complicated moving bit). the rest of the general lighting effects is easier. It would be handy to get that proprietary software though.
Animation is the understanding of how a 3d object moving in space will look in 2D. It is not done by a program, it is done by a human mind. The tool just makes it something many minds can work on collectively.
Klaus was animated in Toonboom Harmony and then rendered in a hybrid version of MOE they renamed KLAS. Their in house software is not available to the public. 🤷♂️
It would be faster and cheaper, but the whole point of Klaus, at least for many people, is that traditional hand-drawn animation is fading away and it's a rare opportunity to be able to work on a hand-drawn project again. Doing the work in 3d would make the whole thing pointless. Might as well animate it in 3d like any other Disney or Pixar movie.
Kim Eojin that’s the problem if it is cheaper, we simply won’t see more Hand animation. That’s why we don’t see much of it in the west anymore. I mean I love Hand animation.... can’t live without anime. I think anime is the best entertainment there is!
To be frank, the *animation* (aka the frames) can be rendered in Blender's grease pencil tool similarly to Disney meander - by wrapping lines around a 3D object - and this company's software - by using 2D lines in a 3D setting.
