Hey cool ! Thanks a lot for the feedback !
Work on pipeline started ~6 years ago and it as been refined through different projects, so each new project can benefit from others. On this one the two main tools we added was the automatic low-poly generator and a light-manager that is similar to Gaffer Addon. And of course some little improvements over older tools.
If you’re interested you can look at Transformice cartoon series where the basis where already laid-out.
Then most of it has been remade, and in this VSE pipeline demo what you can see is more closer to what we have now.
And finally, thanks for your interest in these layout/anim cheats ! Indeed we liked a lot these “anime” style shots, it’s fun to try to match the storyboards and think less 3D.
