If some of you really want to get down and draw your own anime characters and do a 2d show and need some help this guy is the best.

By the way are are a ton of tutorials on his youtube site.   Hope this helps.

 

Have you thought of combining methods to create your own anime?

Check out this video.

 

This might be a great way to make your anime.

Mix with AE or use Adobe Animate

Crazy Talk actually supports MOCAP and a 3d Turn around of your character.   2d might be the faster way to go.

Plus you can add 3d backgrounds or actual backgrounds.   What do you think?

If you look at some of the other tutorial videos you will see how to turn a photo into a backround.

Then you can also add some AE FX.

If you don’t have a MOCAP system try the old fashion way.  Get out and film yourself on your phone or with a friend and then use that to animate the character.

 

I thought this was a great tutorial.  It shows how to use 3d reference to make an actual 2d animation.   If you have a hard time drawing this might be the way to do things if you want to do 2d.

Okay I’ve been into UE4 for some time.  I wanted to share with you this really awesome video showing you step by step how to animate a scene.

While UE4 is for making games its built in Sequencer could be used to Render and create great looking animations for you.  I’ve spoke about this in the past but here is a more in depth tutorial.

If you want to make something that resembles GANTZ  I could see combining UE4 for rendering with DAZ and Poser for animation and characters.

Also a really interesting idea is to make a 3d VR anime film.   That would be awesome.
