![]() There are endless reasons why you must be on this video, but we’re guessing you’re looking into 2D vector animation to learn it or to include it in your project. Is vector or raster better for animation? There are many examples of great software (free and paid) that can help you make 2D vector animation, such as: This can make a conference, a company presentation, or even an Instagram post advertising something really pop up and give it a beautiful look if done well. We can see this example in its finest forms with how a lot of excel presentations contain many vector designs and animations. And they’re also quicker to produce in comparison to 2D animation or 3D, with an abundance of motion graphics software available for everyone. Have you ever scrolled on a website and found animated graphics all around? That’s probably motion graphics there.Ĭorporations love using motion graphics in their videos due to their lovely style as well as their simpler and minimalistic look, which allows for better readability in case there is an announcement or some kind of important information to be presented. We can find them in Tv shows openings, commercials and other marketing content, as well as websites in the UI department. On the other hand, we have motion graphics, which are more on the commercial and industrial side. In Britannica, we find a glimpse on how vector graphics came to life: Source Image: With a medium this rich, you’d think the history is richer, and you’d be right. We will explore the uses of 2D vector animation more later in this video. It’s a great tool for helping companies stand out from the crowd.”Īnd this is only one example, where motion graphics can be used. “When it comes to advertising, especially social media, motion graphics really shine in everything from complex, story-driven ads, to simple animated Instagram posts. Once brands and companies figured out this loop, motion graphics have become a big part of advertising.įelippe Silveira writes in an article for Meow Studio: A post, reel or story done well, can do great things for the brand. This can be linked to the rise of social media as a major advertisement platform. You can usually find them in marketing material, a lot of brands have started doing a lot of their advertising using 2D vector animations or most commonly using motion graphics. For motion graphics it is usually one set design made to move a certain way using the help of the computer, you don’t really ‘draw’ the frames for things to be moving in motion graphics. This setup will give you an MP4 that should work for everything from posting to Twitter to texting your friends cool animations.The difference between them and 2D animation is that, in the latter you draw the motion, so to say, frame by frame. Some people render out images for each frame and combine them into a video. Render output settings can be found in the scene tab (right hand side of below image). CTRL+F12 renders out an animation - this is also available in the top app nav. Pressing spacebar to start and stop the animation preview. You might find use in just sliding parameters around yourself to produce a single image. Drivers are what makes things animated, but animation isn't a requirement. Much of procedural animation is learning which ranges you want to animate, and learning which parameters do what. Don't be afraid to tweak the values in the drivers. ![]() You can cut and paste drivers across parameters or nodes. 5 + 1Īdjust the multiplier and starting point to test different value ranges for parameters. Here we use frame count and some math to make a perfect loop over 480 frames (16 seconds): sin(frame/154) *. The purple highlighted parameters are known as drivers. Experiment with connecting Color output directly to Base Color to see defaults.īrick, Checker, Gradient, Magic, Musgrave, Voronoi, and Wave textures offer endless amounts of fun visuals to explore. Color Ramps are used to customize the color output. But you can also get some pretty funky stuff just combining 2 or 3 nodes together. You can chain a lot of nodes together to make some very complex visuals.
