Best way to 'animate' an object moving away from camera
Posted: 15 Jun 2024, 16:24
Hi there, I have a question please - I have the following 2 storyboard frames, a van driving off into the distance:
In other animation software packages I'd draw the van once, then create a keyframe of the van on frame 1 at 100% scale, and then at eg frame 200, another keyframe of the van at a smaller 10% scale, and the software will interpolate the scaling for me so it looks like the van drives off into the distance away from the camera.
It seems like the best way to do this with TVPaint is with the Keyframer effect, but then I have to 'commit' or 'apply' it so it makes a whole bunch of new frames, ie it's a destructive workflow? If I need to go back and add colours to the van, I'll have to redo the keyframer effect and apply it to make a bunch of new frames?
Am I missing another method, or is this just the way it's done?
Many thanks.
