If / as cost is significant factor in your decision process, have you considered getting cosy with a local AmDram society? There are usually plenty of folk willing to perform "for the glory" (or a bit of quid-pro-quo publicity / support for their performances). And ... Thank you! For engag...

... As we all know (or should know), if the voice acting is good and the story is good, then non-spectacular animation isn't a big, tragic problem. The cartoon can still be successful. Right? Right. Therefore, if 2 of the 3 primary qualities of a cartoon are good (animation, voice acting, story), t...

No, that's not the process. All the TTS is done . Animation is what's happening now. The problem is that the animation could be better in places. Making a bofur could bump things up a notch. ... so, potentially, you could use an _actor_ (and maybe only one) who can read all the lines and "perf...

so you get someone to read it and give you the body language, then get a computer to speak it! well ... ok ... it's your production and your pipeline ...

Is there a term for contracting a voice actor to do a reading, but not for their vocal performance, but for the video reference of their body and facial expressions while performing so the video can be used as a reference when animating? dare I ask why. If you have a pro voice actor they'll give yo...

I'll give the sequencer a shot and follow the link to Hayasidist's bake frame script.

that will just bake the vectors, it won't move bones, so probably not what you want.

there is Animation / Copy Current Frame

It's a bit sledgehammer-y if you select the "whole document" option -- and going through and picking out the channels you want can be tedious.

if you try to animate the order of the base shape, you'll need to get the order of all the others in the right sequence too... so not actually impossible, just very tricky. Which is why I suggested doing the re-ordering "offline" and having the results in a switch layer (or just a group if...

Hi, does anyone know how to change the reference shape when using add, clip, subtract modes in liquid shape tool. ... do you mean animated change to which shape is the base ... and this is "impossible" (best option is probably a [switch] group of various copy by refs with different shape ...

IMO, the dialogue-heavy / limited shots are not issues if / as this is a 3 min segment in a 90 minute work. (I'm guessing that this was never intended as a stand-alone piece.) There's an echo of "Waiting for Godot" in the script - and that manages a couple of hours when, for all practical ...

short answer: use Bezier interp on the camera zoom and shape the transition curve so you get a straight line when zooming. It'll look a bit like this: https://i.ibb.co/9b0tRPg/image.png (zoom from 30 degrees to about 7 whilst tracking in x/y but not z) longer answer: camera zoom changes the angle fo...

the file itself is corrupt --- a .moho is "just" a .zip with a thumbnail (.jpg) and a plain text JSON (.mohoproj). None of the tools that open compressed files (such as .zip, .7z, ..) that I've tried will open it to allow me to inspect the contents. Opening with notepad -- it looks as thou...
