It Is A Mixture Of 2D And 3D. Main Characters Are In 3D As Some Parts Of The Environment, Especially

It is a mixture of 2D and 3D. Main Characters are in 3D as some parts of the environment, especially in shots with wild camera movement. But there are also a lot of 2D element. BGs of static Shots, certain close up animation, secondary characters (I am pretty certain that Gerald is 2D) and Effekts animation (The fire, smoke and electrical effects are mostly 2D).

It uses the strength of both 2D (abstract shapes and movement) and 3D (camera movement, 3D models)

The biggest issue for a long time has been the blending of 2D and 3D, but more and more studios are getting really good at it. There will be moments, where it will be more obvious, the lighting and compositing will be a big factor on how well they can blend together,

So far it looks like they‘re doing a really good job, haven‘t seen many hickups. Will wait for the final release. In the end, if I can get lost in the story with great visuals, without noticing any of the techniques in a distracting way, I‘ll be happy. Animation should help convey the story in the best possible way.

As someone starting out in the animation industry I always like analyzing animated content. Love how nearly every Sonic short uses different styles and techniques.

( I‘ll also be on the annoying camp of wanting another official Sonic anime, but mainly because SonicX has mainly decent animation. Not many great action shots compared to some of the current high budget action anime, but I admit I am an action junky. I love my high octaine, animated action scenes.)

So is dark beginnings 2d or 3d ?

It is

animation =o

Trying to learn japanese so that I can read it one day myself. I am so curious about all the spinoff materials of Blazblue. There is still so much lore and so many unanswered questions.

Mod from mizukagami-takamagahara here. I noticed you've mentioned being unable to find a translation for BE. Fans have translated the whole first volume, which can be found on the baka-tsuki website. I'd link it, but it seems Tumblr doesn't allow that. You can find me linking it for someone else in my Bloodedge Experience tag, or I can add a link to this post via reblog once you publish the ask. Hope it helps!

Sure, lay it on me. Thanks

大草原不可避 : Keyboard smashing in Japanese

I explained how keyboard smashing in English expresses laughing really hard and she taught me the Japanese equivalent in return!!

As some of you might know, in Japanese, “w”  from the word “to laugh” 笑う 「わらう」 is basically like “lol” in Japanese so when there’s a bunch of “w”’s together it looks like this wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww 

and it looks like a bunch of grass so one slang word to show something is funny is 草 「くさ」 which is the word/kanji for grass so you don’t have to type out a bunch of w’s.

So the step up from 草 is 大草原　「だいそうげん」 which means prairie since there’s a lot more grass.

And if something leaves you laughing so much that you can’t hold it back you could say 大草原不可避　「だいそうげんふかひ」 which basically means “inevitable prairie”. 

The “inevitable part”, 不可避　「ふかひ」 in this phrase means laughter is inevitable and you can’t help but laugh.

“what’s posted on the internet stays there forever” is true for everything except that one piece of fanart you saw when you were 10 that changed the trajectory of your life forever. you will never find that again it is gone forever

The release of Somic Movie 3.

When the first trailer for the first Sonic Movie (with the old horrible design) came out, me and two friends made a vow to watch every Sonic Movie together in Cinema. Back then we expected it to only last for one single, maybe two movies. One of my friends didn‘t even knew much about Sonic, we just dragged them into the theater. For the third movie, we‘ve already grown to a group of four and all of us finished university.

Sonic Movie 3 is going to be the continuation of our Sonic Movie Saga as well as our reunion after university. I really can’t wait. The Sonic Movies have become some of my favourite experiences with my friends.

We‘re all comsidering going in cosplay for the third movie.

Okay, let’s play a game (because it’s been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these):

Tell me one thing that you’re really looking forward to this year in the Sonic fandom, or with life in general.

Got Procreate Dreams. Trying it out. Still needs some work, but it is a lot of fun. Sorry for the colors. I don‘t know how to to change the color afterwards.
