![]() ![]() I use it to create 'Toon' style characters which are well suited to being used in 2D animation. ![]() It's beyond the scope of this article to go into detail of using Character Creator 3 suffice to say it's so powerful you can create virtually any kind and style of humanoid character. While it's not an expensive app (and you can trial it for 30 days free), I will give you some free 3D character creator alternatives at the end of this post. It's one of the best creators available, that is easy to get started with, but becomes incredibly powerful the more you discover the things it can do. My 3D character creator tool of choice is Reallusion's Character Creator 3. If you're not familiar with this method, it's where I rig a single angle of a character using only one full character sprite image. You can create full 2D character rigs based upon 3D characters but for the purpose of this article I'm going to stick to my One Sprite Method of rigging 2D characters in Reallusion's Cartoon Animator 4. The One Sprite Method & Character Creator 3 I could probably go on but what you really want is a demonstration of creating 2D characters from 3D character creator tools in action. Quicker to create different versions of the same character (change of outfit, hairstyle etc.).Need to animate the character in a specific pose or angle? Render out an image of the character in the required angle and animate it in 2D.Use an art filter or even hand trace into line art. While you may think 3D character creators have no place in creating characters for 2D animation there are quite a number of advantages including: Previously I've used 2D character creators like Oppa Doll as a source of artwork for some characters I've made for Reallusion's Cartoon Animator 4 animation studio but 2D character creators are limited to. In fact the first test I usually try with these tools is, can I make an avatar of me (or at least my The Extraordinary Tourist persona). One of my favorite things to do is to create characters with any type of Avatar/Character creator app. ![]()
