I recorded the process of a 2D animation head turn

Posted by LostChronology - September 13th, 2021


Hey everyone!


Thought I'd share this here as well. I downloaded OBS Studio which is pretty cool software as you can record your process without that it takes up tremendous space (looking at you, VSDC Free Screen Recorder taking up a few GB for 1 minute of screen recording....) (Ok, maybe there is a setting to fix that in VSDC, but OBS is still much better.)


I recorded my process of how I animated this 2D head turn in OpenToonz:



Above is the reel which I made for Instagram.


I also made a video of about 53 minutes which shows almost the entire process. Unfortunately for some reason OBS didn't record the last part of the shading process:



It is also a bit weird as in the rendering you can see these lines of the line art sticking out in certain frames if you get what I mean. This is apparently a problem in OpenToonz and I still don't know how to fix it. The final result also shows a bit reddish shadow for the shading, that is because when I tried to export the transparency effect the only thing which OpenToonz did was crashing, so I just went with this. You will see more problems which I fixed during the process if you want to take the time to watch it or to jump between different moments in the longer video, but I did enjoy to record something which I worked on!


I might do this with some of my artwork as well in the future.


Hope everyone is doing alright and that some people might be interested in seeing this!
