And if youd like to know mopre, simply visit my Facebook page and send me a private message. Best of luck!
@@GarryPyeGary thanks for taking the time to reply and I might take you up on your offer. Right now I am at the Unconsciously Incompetent stage so I don't know what it is I don't know. But watching your work and your attention to detail quickly makes me realize how much I don't know, which is a step in the right direction. Thanks again and I will be in touch.
I'm just here because it said 'Free' on the FB Promo Graphic 😉 Good workshop. I think there needs to be more tutorials like this that cover basic but essential animation skills specific to CTA.
Well thats just about the nicest feedback I could receive. Thank you. I agree that its a helpful approach to show CTA users HOW to animate a scene and not just what each tool does. ANd the reason I present this Workshop free is so that everyone can see the angle Im coming from with these. I have a feeling there will be more! Thanks for watching.
I'm adding it on with my iClone 8/CC purchase just in case I want to get back into 2D animation-- my guess is yes! This software really democratizes animation with the true investment being time.
my dear friend, your videos are incredible, congratulations. Do you have a video starting to create a character from scratch, basic to basics, could you provide the video link if possible, thank you very much.
I do indeed! Check out this video at ruclips.net/video/oeZquezfy4Q/видео.html&ab_channel=Reallusion and the free writeen tutorial which in the description. Good luck!
Great tutorial. I love this software. With something like the axe in the ground, wouldn't it be a lot easier just to create a small (identical) overlay chunk of the background that hides the axe edge, then there's no need to alter the object to appear sunk into the ground, it would just be behind the small overlay (which can go away as soon as the axe is out of the ground if anything else in the scene might go behind it accidentally)?
Absolutely! One of the great things about Cartoon Animator is that there are any number of ways to achieve any result you want. Your way works just as well as mine. Nice one!
From Cartoon Animator you have the option to Export your finished video as files like MP4, AVI etc. As for the limited size of your animation, what I do is to create each individual camera shot or angle of the animation as a separate project in Cartoon Animator and then edit them all together in post production using editing software (I use Pinnacle) and then upload your video to RUclips. Best of luck!
Loved it! However, Martin's arm seems to reach over the axe. I think the bend of his arm should go the other way, coming from under. Is that just me? Other than that, most interesting. Great with the music, too!
The reason Martins arm reaches over the axe in that particular direction was simply because I created the prop of the hand holding the axe without considering the angle. So I improvised when I did the Workshop. With more forethought, you could easily change the angle the hand is gripping the axe to suit the arm coming in from a different angle.
That may be becuase I have been out of the country for a couple of weeks. If I dont respond within the next 24 hours, its because I did not receive the message. Try messaging mt via my Facebook page. Search for Garry Pye Cartoon Animator. I respond to all messages I receive.

Nicely done!
Thank you sir. It was fun to make, as always. And if it helps people improve their CTA animating skills, then we all win.

@@GarryPye Thanks Bro
Well done. Thanks
Pleasure. I hope this gives everyone an indiciation of what to expect from this new platform for CTA learning. More to come!

You are most welcome. Thank you for watching!
Great tutorial, very helpful!
Thank you for your video.
Question: how do I import the final video to RUclips? Is there a size/length limit?
Thanks!

@@GarryPye thank you!!!
what is the program name
The 2D Animation software I use is called Cartoon Animator. There is a free download available from their website. Its fast, fun and easy to use.
Loved it!
