Anime studios have been doing tricks like this for many years, even during the early 00's. The amazing part is that this animator seems to have learned about it on his own and figured out his own workflow to do it.
*Talks in a casual and chill voice,while also coming across as humbling* "Hello everyone, here are some shots that I am currently working on" *my brain just seeing this video play, and I feel like I'm receiving the entirety of my dopamine levels in one go*
The sad thing, this is by no means a secret. The big studious are not doing it for various reasons like time and budget constraints. Love it, nice style.
DUDE. It looks like you’re going to be my first Patreon subscribee (new word). Somehow I’ve never seen this channel before but I’m insta-sold by first vid. It was great all round but the r-type clip I’d not seen definitely nailed it home for me.
That is a really cool transition shot. I also like the character design, I appreciate that she still looks cute and clearly feminine despite wearing a space suit
Thank you for this! Started considering animation a while ago, and with procreate dream I’m more invested then ever. I had a few scene ideas that needed oscillating camera shots, but didn’t know if Blender was a good choice for that. Thanks for showing the possibilities with the software
I love your work. It's incredible. That 90s aesthetic with clean high definition is the greatest thing ever. Can't wait until you get your own Netflix show!
Your animation is incredible, so hearing you tease an "amazing trick !" hyped me up. I thought i was about to receive a precious nugget of your expertise, something you could only come up after years of experience. You said it yourself, "you're going to be ASTOUNDED". Based on the title, i was expecting to learn how to project a 2D image on 3D geometry, but going by your build up, it had to be something more. Something truly mind-blowing. A trick to always make it believable every time. Make it look accurate under every angle. But instead you just unveiled the most basic shit everyone has done for decades. XD It's basically matte painting. 2001 A Space Odyssey used it in similar situations before personal computers even existed. And you could literally not pass 1st year of my multimedia class if you couldn't do it in After Effects. Everyone in my class did it. A couple years later, we were asked to do it on Maya, too. Not trying to be demeaning, i probably wouldn't have thought of it if not for my teachers passing it on to me, but like... I feel cheated. X')
dude that stuff is amazing , the color theme is absolutly gorgous , the animation smooth , good mix of 2d and 3d , i love that you paint all the shadows and highlights frame for frame , that really makes it look 2dish enough to not stand out from the 2d animation ! subscribed of course
Amazing and simple...just as nature intended. Another method you could also use is to block out the background structures with simple boxes and then use Projection Mapping(I believe it is called Projection Man in C4D). This will project your 2d background image onto the boxes to give it some actual 3 dimensional depth.
SIMPLY. INCREDIBLE!!!! Enough said!!!! Really liked and enjoyed watching this TRULY AWESOME vid. Watch out for comments from hackers. Stay SAFE out there and stay AWESOME.
I don't mean to sound patronising, but of course it works :D Backgrounds have been flat pieces of art for decades in animation and it's part of the charm :) Sometimes they can EVEN be made from several flat pieces and the parallax simulated with different layer speeds... And it looks gorgeous... :)
What the... I came here to check the 3D backgrounds idea and left jaw dropped subscribed to whatever is going on here. It looks insane, fluid, coherent... robotech vibes. Those orbital camera transitions from/to characters... Jesus... Pardon my lack of knowledge of 2D world... TV Paint? (never heard of it), this happens to be better than photoshop animation, or toon boom or adobe animate? genuinely curious about what this has vs the others.
This is a great little trick and I use a similar one all the time in Poser for stuff like views from windows or if I have a scene outdoors I have a cylinder that I put the background on for long distance shots of trees or mountains that you don't need much detail.
This man needs his own studio and his own production crew.
and smart cool VFX coder - which will automate some tedious stuff
so that we can see even more of this amazing animations
I thought the same thing, why hasn't this happened yet, or did u miss it?
they have to be as diligent as him
Fuck it lets give Studio Ghibli to this guy, instead of tasteless Goro Miyazaki..
he dose have one, he's worked on shit like dr who
It's just I N C R E B I B L E .
A M A Z I N
Dude, that basically sums up everything you've made so far.
Are you still working on the street fighter fan film?
You're Breathtaking!
It just works.
That animation was smoother than the finest butter
That mechanical detailing reminds me a lot of G1 Transformers and the 1986 movie.
EDIT: Seeing the outro now. Pretty much explains your art style haha
*BREAKING NEWS*
BRITISH GUY SHAKES UP ENTIRE ANIME INDUSTRY FROM HIS OWN BACKYARD
Joke's on you, Studio Trigger has been doing this for years now...
Anime studios have been doing tricks like this for many years, even during the early 00's. The amazing part is that this animator seems to have learned about it on his own and figured out his own workflow to do it.
I believe this man is more than capable of making a feature-length animated film, if he hasn't already.
I wish you had a team of a dozen yous funded by aliens. Infinite quantities of 80's/90's anime with excellent taste in scifi.
Disney did that style in the 90s and early 2000sQQ
your work is dope
Dude, your art style is sick! Reminds me of some of my favorite late ‘80s OVAs. You’ve proven that it’s still alive :)
*Talks in a casual and chill voice,while also coming across as humbling*
"Hello everyone, here are some shots that I am currently working on"
*my brain just seeing this video play, and I feel like I'm receiving the entirety of my dopamine levels in one go*

Love it, nice style.
using 3d cards with textures? don't worry, all the movies use it all the time! :)
Amazing. This proves to me that old style special effects are the best. It's so good it works even in a virtual environment.
Your channel always inspires me to get better with my own animations. Your work is phenomenal!
DUDE.
It looks like you’re going to be my first Patreon subscribee (new word).

Glad to see you're still working on this! Also...I'm always amazed and astounded by your work.
Im glad you found this simple technique for yourself, it has been around for decades, based on matte painting in the early days painted on glass.
Amazing job bro, keep at it. Tie fighter was one of best animations I've seen in a while
how you haven't been hired as an animation director for an animation company I will never understand. You a capital A ARTIST!
Thank you for this! Started considering animation a while ago, and with procreate dream I’m more invested then ever. I had a few scene ideas that needed oscillating camera shots, but didn’t know if Blender was a good choice for that. Thanks for showing the possibilities with the software
your tutorials are amazing! :))
God it's beautiful
We need to bring this animation style back.
Already hype. Five seconds of OtaKing makes better trailers than some mainstream movies have.
"3d model I knocked-up quickly in Cinema 4D" hmm if that is knocked up quickly ill be damned
you are a wonderful man and a wonderful animator. Keep up the good work. The animation world needs more people like you
2:44 "Im gonna get back to work"
. Good Luck, Comrade !
I love your work. It's incredible. That 90s aesthetic with clean high definition is the greatest thing ever. Can't wait until you get your own Netflix show!
I wish I had the money to be a Patron. Your work deserves funding and way more clout. It's absolutely gorgeous.
I just learned how to add 3d background for my 2d animation, it's really cool and saves time drawing the whole background
I totally admire the work you do...You inspire me push my creativity to the next level. cheers man!
Your animation is incredible, so hearing you tease an "amazing trick !" hyped me up.

I think we should just enjoy his enthusiasm, there is an innocent pleasure in finding out how well classic tricks work.
I love your animations, it reminds of me of old school ones!
Man You deserve something bigger than youtube, your talent would exceed pixar's, toei animation's and Disney's
This guy is a wee gift to mankind
God damn dude always getting better and better.....dont overwork yourself lol
That’s awesome you explain the process. I’m blown away by your talent.
Projection mapping is such a useful tool, if you do it on some *slightly* more detailed geomentry it's magic.
My goodness! The coloring job on this !!!🤯
dude that stuff is amazing , the color theme is absolutly gorgous , the animation smooth , good mix of 2d and 3d , i love that you paint all the shadows and highlights frame for frame , that really makes it look 2dish enough to not stand out from the 2d animation ! subscribed of course
I love everything about this video, including the presentation. I feel like we are brothers.
This is such an insanely good work, holy shit.
Your skill is completely GOALS!!!!

Awesome! Just now I was watching your old Anime fansub documentaries and suddenly got notified on this!
You can also add an image sequence (video) on that flat plane!
wow! you're truly the next Miyazaki or Otomo. Great stuff once again!
youre doing what usually takes a team of hundreds by yourself? your awesome
Thanks for sharing your work and being so transparent with the workflow. Awesome work!
ah you made me rewatch macross ... just love that artwork
How is it this one dude's work looks better than 99 % of 3d anime made by entire studios of ppl
This is the first time CGI in 2D animation has looked so acceptable.
Technically any digital 2D imagery is computer generated.
SIMPLY. INCREDIBLE!!!! Enough said!!!!
Really liked and enjoyed watching this TRULY AWESOME vid.
Watch out for comments from hackers.
Stay SAFE out there and stay AWESOME.
Fantastic work! Always like to watch your videos when they drop!
made a cameo in one of his vids as a commenter on the discord screenshot. my life is complete.
Damn, the animation alone is worth a like.
Paralax works in the real world too, they used to film through layered painted glass plates as well as cutouts on a cyclorama behind actors
Love the ENERGY he got
Mixing 3d and 2d cardboard mockups, good shortcut, great animation and teaching, thank you. Plus your commercials sense of humor\FUNNY
0:03 that looks AAAAAAWWESOME!!!!
I love that this animation looks just like an 80s cartoon!!
I don't mean to sound patronising, but of course it works :D
Backgrounds have been flat pieces of art for decades in animation and it's part of the charm :)
Sometimes they can EVEN be made from several flat pieces and the parallax simulated with different layer speeds...
And it looks gorgeous... :)
Even kubrik when planing to make napoleon had armies in the background wear paper uniforms to cut on production costs.
Insanely well done
still as amazing as ever man, thanks for sharing.
I'm very excited for this film and what i can learn from it!!
this guy is way to underrated.
Your making gods work here
THIS INCREDIBLE SIMPLE TRICK
Just downloaded myself a c64 emulator more or less just to play some r-type keep up the awesome work!
"took me 2 days to do that" you humble mothersmurfer, that would took me a whole month hahahahahah T-T, awesome job :D
Great animation advice from the mighty OtaKing77077.
if you move slightly some planes in front you can have a preaty paralax effect ;) love your work
I love this coloring, bravo.
2 days!!! It is super fast! Yoy really professional.
Hell of a lot easier than trying for 3D everything. You’re pretty good 👉👉
This is the best explanation dude !!
so almost like Digital Matte Painting :) good work
Sir you are artwork is awesome keep up the great work you're giving me such inspiration for my own stuff
This is a lot better than what passes of Anime on Netflix.
Just getting into 3d modeling/animation as a hobby and subbed/patreon for this video. Thanks!
thats the spirit of the 80´s like it
Brilliant; love to learn behind the scenes techniques 🤘
Nice moves as always Otaking!
What the... I came here to check the 3D backgrounds idea and left jaw dropped subscribed to whatever is going on here. It looks insane, fluid, coherent... robotech vibes. Those orbital camera transitions from/to characters... Jesus...
Pardon my lack of knowledge of 2D world... TV Paint? (never heard of it), this happens to be better than photoshop animation, or toon boom or adobe animate? genuinely curious about what this has vs the others.
You are awesome OtaKing!
Send this chap to JAPAN!!!
Your voice is amazing and soothing
Mind blowing. Thank you for this!!
I like how it looks like the 80s but with modern techniques.
You can also try painting and applying a simple displacement map to the flat plane after some subdivisions to add parallax to bits that need it.
wow man your amazing. ive never done patreon before but popping that cherry tonight.
Damn man, your giving me some ideas
freking sharp animation dude !!!! amazing !
Smoke and mirrors... There's craft in deceiving the eye. 👏👏👏
You are grossly underrated
Beautiful! Hope to see some new M Bison soon!
DUDE I LOVE YOUR WORK
this stryle is so cool, i immediately recognized the tie fighter movie in it ;D
That’s beautiful man.
This is a great little trick and I use a similar one all the time in Poser for stuff like views from windows or if I have a scene outdoors I have a cylinder that I put the background on for long distance shots of trees or mountains that you don't need much detail.
