What program are you using to draw in?

[3dddie]

@Tomekwinxs : i was using sodipodi, but you can use more stable software like inkscape (fork of sodipodi)

okay...please make a basic tutorial on this animation style....i wanna try :P

( i'm a fan ! )

[3dddie]

@menotspeakenglish :

ok, since i still working on another projects - the tutorial will be late, i hope you dont mind waiting :)

[PWNZAZ]

So you animated a vector image in blender?!

[3dddie]

@PWNZAZ : to put it in simple : i created the outline in vector > export > paint it and add alpha channel in gimp, and put it in blender as a texture

@discoinc : an animation program, please check blender.org

@Tinak00777 : yea, cutout animation style made in blender

if you could answer my question that'd be great. Say you want to switch a characters head from facing the front, to facing the side. How would i go about doing this efficiantly. (Like how they do with animating southpark in Maya with replacement animation) I've come up with a few methods such as switching the layers that each plane "head's facing directions" are on, but Blender doesnt mark those kinds keyframes on the timeline, so it will get confusing figuring out which frame i keyed what on.

you GOT TO make a tutorial!!

[Vikinatorn]

That is EPIC! Very nice.

@3dddie I do mind waiting!...well never mind...i can't really draw anything yet since my tablet is broke...well i'll buy a Cintiq in a couple of months so i hope you have made a tutorial when i get it!

( I'm still a fan ! ) oh, by the way, is this a ( completely ) free way ?
