Just watched some gameplay videos of this new game called Broken Age. I have to say the story is brilliant and the visuals are very stunning compared to the 3d stuff around these days. I am curious about how the animation was done. I am sure its not 3d animation, it's definitely 2d animation, probably cutout animated in…
I believe it's 2d stuff that's rigged & animated in 3D, I think you have to be a backer to see any of the behind the scenes videos but Lovers In a Dangerous Spacetime are doing something similar: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqo4Ka9E3aU"]Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - Making Friends - YouTube[/ame] Rayman…
Wow..awesome.Spine and puppet2d seem like awesome apps for 2d animation.I checked puppet2d website. Seems it requires unity to work.Spine is it a standalone app or it needs Unity as well? Puppet2d seems to cost way less than Spine though.
A game I contracted on did the same process. You can see some examples here: http://portfolio.juantwo.com/monster-crew.html The characters were created in zBrush, and projected onto image planes.
