One of the biggest things that stops a 3D model from looking 2d is how perfectly consistent a 3D mesh looks when animated. If you were to create a 3D model based on each hand drawn frame of a movie or show, you’ll end up with a different or alternate model each time (and especially a model that is o…

[image] revolt_randy: Create 3 shapekeys, one scales the mesh on the y-axis, one on the x-axis, and one on the z-axis. Drive all three shapekeys with noise modifiers. That should give you an infinitely changing mesh shape. I would think how you create the shapekeys would help to give variance to…

I am planning on implementing a lot of 2d elements in the animations, especially for the set, and the set design. I have made 2d art basically all of my life (especially realism, and stylized recently) so this is strong suit I plan on using. Its just 2d animation :smiley:, yeah, that, I am not good…

[image] revolt_randy: Have you looked at Freestyle? I used it before to get a hand sketched look to the lines it draws. Sure it was just strokes on the base render, the underlying mesh render didn’t change. So it just looked like a perfect 3d object that someone sketched over. I did some animati…

Unfortunately, the user on reddit had their account closed (after saying they might make a tutorial) so I don’t know how one would recreate this).

[image] joseph: The beauty of hand-drawn frames is that they’re deliberate, so even a random variance on a 3D mesh will never have the same effect. I wouldn’t say the slightly randomness of hand drawn lines in animation was deliberate. I think it’s errors that creep into the process and not e…

Why would using drivers for the shape keys be bad compared to just inserting the keyframes?

On topic of noise/wobbling, I remembered that I had geometry node system made specifically for that. [image] Geonode (and more) experiments for animation Sketchbooks NoiseModifier 3.6.blend (1.2 MB) A geonode noise modifier. Useful for making things wobbly. Works in world…

Its ok, any help that I can get, trust me on this. I am interested in this effect, because this of all the art styles never done before, but now possible with this? 3d animation always had a certain look, and 2d animation always had to be ‘simple’ to make it practical for animation. Because of this,…

I actually did something a bit similar just earlier, but with displacement. Yours look better for rigid objects, although, I do think the intensity should be driven down. I was thinking of using a lattice to animate extreme angle warping changes. Like a camera viewing a house from the front then go…

Hah. I had no idea that in newer Blender, you can do pretty much the same thing I used the custom geonodes for with just a Displace modifier. I’m always upgrading my version too late. Anyways, in my setup, Displacement variable controls the intensity of deformation, and you can also reduce TextureSc…

How to warp character mesh for every frame to give hand drawn look?

So I did add this automatic jitter option to the noise modifier

I’ll test it with inverted hull outline later
