Perhaps a more judicious use of 1's would be more appropriate. Even hand-drawn animation is animated on 1's when clarity is needed or a camera pan is in effect. IMHO, however - the 12 fps would be my personal preference UNLESS the motion was considerably fast or complex. These artifacts are generally considered limitations, so the prevailing attitude among our episode Directors is to use all 24 fps of 3D animation, despite the disparity. This cost-effective measure introduces temporal artifacts such as strobing and emphasizes video field separation due to the NTSC format and 3:2 field rate conversion(converting 24fps->30fps). ?Hand-drawn Animation for episodic (television) production is generally animated on 2's(12 fps) for any particular movement.

I agree with mArc's observations regarding the lack of artifacts in 3D animation that cause it to diverge with the quality of the hand-drawn (2D) animation. Thanks for spending your time to answer that thoroughly Scott And I've just learned that Futurama is scheduled for running this summer - Monday through Thursday! I'm so happy! Finally I can watch the episodes in better quality than those MPEGs.Īs i felt that this thread developed pretty nice and on topic, i mailed Scott Vanzo from Rough Draft Studios about it, and just got his answer per mail. enough ranting, I've been awake for too long - working on a digital art website (blatant self-plug) and finishing Final Fantasy IX. I _so_ envy you who lives in the US, here in Norway we get the movies 6 months after you guys While on the topic of CG, i guess you've seen the trailers for the Final Fantasy movie.

My guess is it's Maya, what's the name of the CG company they use? Anyone checked out their website? the output looks very much like CartoonReyes on 3DS MAX, but it can also be LightWave or Maya.
#Futarama kiss c artoon software
I keep wondering what software they're using. but camera-matching is quite hard to to anyways. when the brain is flying out, stating it's the "greetest", Fry's eyes don't point exactly at the brain. only time I noticed a flaw was in that Lord Nibbler episode.
#Futarama kiss c artoon series
I think all the CG in the series is exceptional, they've managed to blend it in with the hand-drawn parts extremely well. The first episode I watched was the Titanic spoof, and I never really noticed the CGI until Bender kiss the class 3 yacht (what's her name again?).
