When to use Cinema 4D for 2D-style animation
- [Instructor] The animation that I'm creating for this advert is essentially a 2D animation, but I'm going to create some of it in 3D. The reason I do that is it's much quicker to show multiple angles of the same object using 3D than it is to redraw the object several times. It'll probably take me about the same time to model one of these elements as it would to draw it, but if I draw it, I'm only drawing it from one fixed angle. If I wanted to draw a different angle, I'd have to do another drawing, whereas with 3D, what I can do is just change the angle using the cameras, and we'll have a look at cameras a little bit later. Let's have a look at this scene here. You'll notice that I've started creating the cabin, and the bus, and all the other elements for my animation, and you'll see that I've created a spline in the shape of the cliffs that I want to create. I'm going to show you how that was done, so I'm going to go down to the Layers panel and I'm going to Solo the cliffs so that…
