Some new teasers / trailers for the upcoming new first full episodes of a full first season of my new animated cartoon series:

Some older teasers / trailers for the same cartoon series:

I think I've seen some of these before and I continue to marvel at how good your backgrounds are. Really good looking stuff here!

Thanks for the feedback Danimal! Very much appreciated! I can't show to much of the things that are done and finished already (I don't wanna spoil anything), but because you really seem to like my backgrounds, I'll post some screenshots I just took of them, especially for you:












This what you see, was all 3D-generated, and everything that you see is actually in fact just in Anime Studio Pro (these are just simple screenshots from a couple of different camera locations in the setting / scene file). It literally was hundreds if not thousands of hours of work drawing it. The deal now is, fitting the characters into the scenes and make them look a bit 3D but not to much, so basically it'll mean that I'll be working on mixing 2D and 3D in Anime Studio Pro for the upcoming time (months lol).

I worked on this for I think 6 or 7 months full pull straight on as much hours a day as possible (at least 8 hours a day). Anyways. I'll hope to release the first full episode (Pilot) of the first season, before the end of this year. It'll be a shitload of work, but I really enjoy it!

As soon as I can show more animations that are ready, and that won't mess up the plots and story-lines of the first season's episode (again, I don't wanna spoil anything), I'll release them here first.

Here is another screenshot:

I have managed to work out my pipeline / workflow betweek Cinema 4D and Anime Studio Pro in a better way. I have been working on thet for the last couple of weeks. Here are some test results:

And some more render tests:

I am still working on the final render style of everything, but I have managed to nearly create what I am looking for as a final style to go and start working on the animated scenes.

After a bit more tweaking this is how it looks now:

Another update:

are those cinema 4d examples something you would import into AS as video and add your characters over the video? I'm wondering how you're combining them.

I made all the scenes and settings (3D environments) in C4D and I import those to Anime Studio Pro like you can see in some of the examples in the first posts. I am now finishing my final settings of the looks I want to achieve and I will start redoing all the characters so they'll fit a bit better in to the 3D scenes. When I got that covered, I'll start working on bringing both together in Anime Studio Pro and after that I will only have to run the renders trough After Effects to give them some extra effects.

Here is the latest and almost final look of the 3D environments:

Funny. I work the other way around. I animate in AS then import into 3D using Alpha Planes. You get the lights and shadows of the 3D program with the 2D animation of AS.
