Hey one question I have doubts regarding previs and layouts .. First of all tell me What exactly layouts is and what exactly a layout artists work is? And second the previs is a 2D animation which means a preview before making it completely 3D animation means the movements will be not smooth it will just help us to see how things will be before animating completely so So I have heard after designing after layouts is done the animation when went to layouts which is part of 3D production team then the animation will look much better ,but the question is if the animation is smoothly made when reaching layouts artists then what the hell the rigging artists are doing and animator artists too , I means why will the be needed as till reaching the layouts the animation almost ready.... 🙄🙄Help me in this ....
Hi, I'm a senior layout artist and I've worked on both animated and live action movies. I think you're confusing a few of the terms but that's okay, i've had the hardest time explaining what it is exactly to family and friends so I'll give it a try here too. So first off, a movie is made up of sequences (a series of consecutive shots) and shots (a camera angle). To make a movie each shot and asset has to travel through the "pipeline", where it goes from design to final picture. Layout is near the start of the pipeline, and it's usually done on the sequence level, where most later departments are on the shot level. In Layout we get the animatic, this is the storyboard (2d drawn comicbook version) but with the correct timing and some temporary voices. And we get the 3d models for the set, characters and props we need for that sequence. Then we use a camera in the 3D software to film the characters in the correct place in the set, we also do some rudimentary animation if needed, but most of that is just posing and premade animationcycles. After the director likes our stuff, the shots continue to animation, where they do the actual acting with the characters, and all the other departments to to their things like lighting, effects, etc. To compare it with real life movie sets: Layout artists are the camera-operators/cinematographers Animators are the actors/acting coaches You also mentioned riggers, they get the 3D models and put "bones" in them and controllers so we can move all the joints, clothes and faces. Hope this helps!

Not really. 2D storyboard and animatics are differents from previz and layout ( that also exist in 2D pipeline). Previz is an additional step between animatic (2D) and layout, often to try many things when the director don't know exactly what he wants ( very common for action scene). After we have the layout ( scene dressing + camera ) , and after animation the Final Layout ( polishing cam/dressing).
The stunning video made me wonder if the layout artist creates the basic scene in Maya and then hands it over to different departments so that animators, environment artists, and lighting artists can work within this Maya file.😲
Really nice overview. I only wish there were more examples of actual layout works since most of the showcased examples were final scenes or final animations
yer gonna use AI voice over for a video that probably animation professionals will watch? did you think that one through? Beep bop boop, engage do not recommend channel protocol.
I genuinely cannot tell if that is an ai voice or not.. Nonetheless, this is an amazing video! Thank you for sharing that series, I'll probably go ahead and check it out!
yes, Layout and Priviz is very important in 3d animated film.
Thanks for the valuable content , need more information about animation and VFX 🙌
What is the difference between Previs and Layout artists? Are they the same thing but with interchangeable names?
AI generated channel?
Was this video made using an AI voice?
Hey one question I have doubts regarding previs and layouts ..
First of all tell me
What exactly layouts is and what exactly a layout artists work is?
And second the previs is a 2D animation which means a preview before making it completely 3D animation means the movements will be not smooth it will just help us to see how things will be before animating completely so
So I have heard after designing after layouts is done the animation when went to layouts which is part of 3D production team then the animation will look much better ,but the question is if the animation is smoothly made when reaching layouts artists then what the hell the rigging artists are doing and animator artists too , I means why will the be needed as till reaching the layouts the animation almost ready.... 🙄🙄Help me in this ....

Not the umbrella term.
Priviz and layout similar to 2d story bord and animatic

When modeling is done? after layout? is layout is different from Priviz?

Buenos videos. ¿Podrias hacer un tipo detras de camaras pero en las animaciones 2D (como por ejemplo: Animes o peliculas reconocinas) por favor?
Wow ❤🔥
So how do they took 2d piviz to final annimation. 😮😮
Bro please next content about the stagess,tasks, in the procces of making animation from start to finish
Finally 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
team layout baby!
So good content !

4:00 no one uses blender or Maya anymore that much. everyone is moving towards UE5
