** Combination of 3D and 2D **
Iron Giant -released in 1999 :
Even if Iron Giant looks as if it
were completely drawn the traditional way (cell by cell) .The big giant robot is actually designed in 3D and output as a 2D image using Maya with the added
help of proprietary software.
One of the drawbacks of this method is the
perfect and rigid quality of the line rendered out of a 3D package.
The perfect line
is what separated it from 2d techniques so the solution was to "simplifying
the design somewhat and not having too many surface shading areas", says
Brad Bird director of The Iron Giant. Secondly,Brian Gardner created a program
that caused line imperfections on the Giant randomly.They called it Wobble.
Most of the backgrounds although 2d in look were also 3D renderings.The backgrounds were stretched a bit so so that it appeared as if you were going around something.
Fishing - released 1999 -Pacific Data Images
"Character Animation is all
about what the character is thinking...At times, he
was getting lost. Is he happy or sad? So
we punched it up. Rather than having
him just look up at the sky, we had him
jump off the ground just a bit. That
touch better communicates what he's
thinking, what he's feeling. That's all I
do all day long as a character animatormove
3d models to look like they're
thinking."
