Tarzan Deep Canvas Demo

[svkt28]

I really like the animation in Tarzan. I wish Disney will do something like that again.

[narutokunkun1234]

Interesting. It looks like a vector painting on top of the mesh. That would be time consuming and according to thedacs.com the Deep Canvasing technique only last 10 minutes on the movie.

[greatveemonGFX]

So on other words. Tarzan used a 3d apps for layout?

So if this is 1999, what is there PC specs? And what software is this? It seems some sort of Projection painting to me..

[MyNameZebra]

Thumbs up except for the cliffhanger. Where is the rest of the video after the part that didn't make it on YouTube.

[DeptOfPhotography]

the narrator is Eric Daniels who was head of Tarzan Digital Production

[ttraver28]

This narrator sounds like Clay Kaytis from the animation podcast.

[Vortex42]

Seriously - five people dislike this video? What's to dislike?

[MyNameZebra]

@Vortex42 The cliffhanger ending. What happens next. The video explained quite some stuff, but there's more that could have been explained in that gap to the finished work, and that cliffhanger. We could be told what happens next.

Someone Knows what Software they used?

They use the 3D like Reference, but they have to paint frame by frame the cenary?

Thanks.

[kurvos]

@FirebirdBeats ..... this is not a videogame.

[FirebirdBeats]

@kurvos i never said that. It's Animation, and that is created on the PC too.

[kurvos]

@FirebirdBeats So is this message. XD

[oopaulorafael]

Very interesting this tecnology is!

[jimmyrotella]

wow but... i dont understand.

what did the program do?

the animation? or the character movement? or environment colouring?

geometries look like rhino nurbs or something

[NariShishitsu]

@jimmyrotella This is like Deep Paint 3d. The animation was insert in it after, in the post-production, with another program. :)

[lilsuwatch]

wow.

[JangGeumFan]

Awesome!! :D They also used alot of Deep Canvas for Treasure Planet, and a little bit in Atlantis...

[JaykaJamaica]

That was too cool!

[lavender18197]

James Wood:now that Cool

[jimmyrotella]

yea the movie is quite crappy (DESPITE THE -6 RATING)

[brancamento]

@jimmyrotella: haha giving thumbs down is so juvenile... well, after all they are the same people who like this c**p. I mean, if you disagree with what I wrote gimme some motivation.

[jimmyrotella]

no motivations given. 100% agreed.

[MyNameZebra]

@brancamento I respect your opinion. I do. I do want to tell you something, though, everyone has the right to their own opinion. And some people actually like Tarzan. By the way, I have never seen this version of Tarzan.

[narichannn]

[triquetrahybrid]

Cool vid thanks for posting!!

[alessandrokki]

[IntelligentCrow]

[alessandrokki]

@IntelligentCrow fuck off

[grantegoto]

wow. . . . . . .

[walteraliasdisney]

I wish the disney could make the traditional animation again like what they did in tarzan coz right now , honestly speaking ,the disney cartoon is not good as it was..... I would suggest that they should return the traditionala coz right now all the cartoon movies is all computer animation , so I think it is better to return back the traditional although put a little bit CGI that would be better.

[jamespearson]

yeah, they're slowly moving back to 2D

[EbonyShadow07]

@walteraliasdisney Good news! I've just heard that since Princess and the Frog was so successful, Disney has decided to green-light the production of a 2D movie every 2 years.

[walteraliasdisney]

@EbonyShadow07 that sounds good hope they will keep that ,Ive heard that some of the cartoon company are also going to make 2D animation hahahahaha , coz they probably knew that the princess and the frog was a success movie

[oopaulorafael]

@EbonyShadow07 Really? Oh yes, this is VERY Good news!!! I wish someday watch Lion King or other very good 2D Animated movies (like Tarzan or Beauty and the Beast) in 3D Digital! Why not?

[bentheanimator]

@walteraliasdisney

the pipeline for computer animation is so much easier. less things to loose you can make multiple copies in an instant instead of zeroxing every page.

[jamalanimation]

@walteraliasdisney i agree with you .

[CupofPhenol]

@walteraliasdisney alot of the amazing sequences that you enjoy in modern movies are only possible because of cg. they would be too difficult or too expensive to do on a reasonable budget in the traditional style. the idea of making films is to advance and evolve with the technology as it becomes available, not resist it. if the computer enables you to do something that can't be done using traditional techniques, then it should be utilized.

[CupofPhenol]

@walteraliasdisney Maybe next you would like to get rid of cell phones and bring back lan lines? Or maybe we should get rid of today's televisions and bring back the old giant wooden box tube televisions that had channel switching knobs instead of a remote control..it's the old way so it must be better right?

[valiumcandy]

@CupofPhenol They are going back to using a blend of CGI and 2D animation thanks to John Lasseter.

The studio is using a modified version of Toon Boom Harmony now, which is like an advanced version of CAPS (what they used from the 80's to '04). They also have an updated version of Deep Canvas, which was used in Atlantis and Treasure Planet. Even though they do use CGI, the most important thing - the characters - are still animated with pencil and paper, and then scanned for inking.

[azizrahmad]

@CupofPhenol It's not the technology that should be the old way. It's the style. I also like the old traditional style better than these new cgi 3D animation. It doesn't mean we should draw again each frame one by one like the old times. We could use computer to create animation with quality as good as old cartoon, We just need to find the way.

[MyNameZebra]

@azizrahmad You're right, if I was creating a movie in this style, I would rather use computer inking-and-painting and CG for stuff hard to do on paper than to do the traditional ink-and-paint style. After all, Disney has survived with it hadn't they?

[AijaP]

wish I would know that! I dont evin know how to put animation on the background!

[dylanbeckett]

If anyone could answer what program they use to paint the background or any method of painting similar backgrounds i would so grateful!!!!

[NikoLang]

You can use any paint program like photoshop, but you will have to be a very good painter of course

[zanders37]

interesting

[roxonogueira]

AWESOME!!!

[Lilalaunemary]

Super!

[blampow]

So, how do they determine where in 3d space the leaf brushstrokes hang?

[CarlosJulio20]

they determinate that on the software, wow Im replying a 2 year old comment!

[NKrel]

it didnt finish! AH!

[viqii]

OM, that's so cool, i hope some day i can get to do that, cause i'm just getting started

[micah104]

me too
