This is the interpolation workflow I’ve been looking for. Thank you!
You are very welcome🙏😃, I'm glad you found it interesting🌟
This is so cool! From blender doughnuts and now I will go to Grease pencil! Thanks
Awesome tuto ! The Best dance ever ,in cinema JCVD all the way !
Cheers!!!🕺🙌❤️ Trueeee!!! That's dance is so iconic and perfect 😁👌
Whoa thank you so much for sharing this technique I didn't like rotoscoping much because I didn't understood how it work but now I wanna try this out
No problem 🙏😊, always a pleasure to share and help if it does ✌️😉. Rotoscoping is very special art style, you can have fun with this or even use it to help you out to get a difficult shot 👌. At the end you can do anything with this 😁
Thank you so much! I'm working on a project and need to do this but I'm worried to try this on my laptop. I'm already gonna switch to desktop but I'm trying to figure out if I could squeeze out a 2D animation like this on laptop or just fully send it to desktop (sorry ik this is more of a technical specs question but nonetheless thank you so much for sharing these tips!)
I like such kinds of videos, keep them coming.
Thank you so much for the sweet comment 🙏😊 I do appreciate your support ❤️
Woooooow! Very simple!
Yes it is 😊 I hope you will have fun to rotoscope 😉👍🌟

Thank you brother ✊️🤴😁🌟
ROTO, I AM BEGGINING WITH BLENDER GREASE PENCIL, I USE PHOTOSHOP FOR ANIMATION, I AM A ROOKIE IN ANIMATION TOO. I AM LEARNING FROM YOU.
Let's go 😊🙌! It's okay to be a rookie and rotoscoping is a fun exercise a beginner and I'm sure this practice will improve your skill a lot 😉👌💯. Thank you for the kind words 🙏
Haha same 🤣! But for me I use keyboard and mouse because I'm just lazy to pick my tablet to do quick stuff like this 😅
cool!! thanks ;)
No problem 🙏😊, I'm glad to hear it!
Brilliant tutorial! I'm sure it will help me a lot. However, I don't know what to do to deal with shots of people running that have lots of motion blur in them, or how to deal with eyes during the shots where people are far from view
Thank you 🙏😊. For now it's just some basic for simple rotoscoping 👍. But I did search on "How to replicate the motion blur effect" on some quick shot like running or even fighting action...I do have a hint about it but...it's not as easy to do 🤔 ... basically you'll need to duplicate your Greasepencil object and apply on this one a blur effect. Then you will have to overlay both the normal one and the blurry. Finally erase some of the parts to make a perfect mix 🧐. That's my theory but it's the close answer that I can do for now
Thanks a lot
You're welcome 🙏😊
Very cool method.
Cheers 🙏 I've been using it since my beginnings and I hope it will also be useful does for everybody else🌟
waaa3 brilliant how you made circles work for you :D
Thank you 🙏😃! Yeah I do use that technique with basic circle to get a quick shape then sculpt it to define more 😁👍Very convenient to me ✌️
Thanks a lot.
You're very welcome 🙏😊🌟
Great tutorial man! 🥰
I just spent 7 mins laughing ay JCVD dancing 🤣
Cheers my man 🙏😊❤️!
Bahaha for some reason thisJCVD dance was on my CZcams feed and then... I was like 😱 "ooohhh that's the ONE to rotoscope!!!"🤣 LET'S GOOO!!!🔥 Honestly that dance is GOLD🌟😆👌
@@tuat555 Classic Van Dam!
I love how you used that super awkward dance from Kickboxer 😂
It popped up on my CZcams feed and so I'm glad to re-watched how good that dance was 🤣 just instantly got inspired ✌️😂
perfect for memes
Definitely an easy method to make plenty of fun stuff like this 😁👍hehe
Can you do a tutorial on who to put textures on ojb files or any files.. im having a hard time
If you stabilise the reference material first, it removes that strange "drift" rotoscoping can have.
Absolutely 😊👌💯
nice thx...
Yes sir!!! 😁👍
Thanks for sharing your skill!Wouldn't it be useful to draw body and head together each time ?How do you think?
No worries, it's a great pleasure to help 😉👍. In this tutorials I separate them for an easy understanding but also for a more successful interpolation. Your ideas can definitely work as well 😁 as long as you can manage the overall (head + body together) you will save lots of time into your process 😊👌
Jean claude vandam dancing
Jean Claude Vandam dance is so lit 🕺❤️🔥💯👌
before this i had no idea for rotoscopic
Really? 😯Or maybe it was something that you may know but did not know about the name of this practice? 😊 I hope you like it btw ✌️😁
More grease pencil tutorials 🤓
For sure that's the plan 🙏😊 thank you!!!
yow, I use rotoscoping too but your method is way more advance
A.I. is going to speed up this whole process 10x very soon watch. Already possible with imgtoimg and AF
Trueee 😅 I'm already prepare for it 😢...to be honest I don't really have a opinion about A.I... so I'm just spectating and see how is going to involve 😶
Is it possible to export the video with the animated grease pencil lines?
Yes of course 😁👍! Basically if you're familiar with the software you will have to import your video not as a "reference" but as an "image plane". In that way the video will appear in the render as well as your grease pencil over it ✌️🌟
Do you export each frame as a png file from blender and color each frame in an image editor program (for example let's say GiMP)? Is there some other step I am missing here? Blender only seems to want to render a white canvas.
Oh hey 👋😃! Everything can be done in Blender from line to color👍. Here I only cover the lineart and the process of drawing over the footage. Through this tutorial you'll end up with the lineart only with no color. But, what I will suggest you is to watch another video that I made specifically for coloring 🙂 czcams.com/video/GBZiu3rYyTo/video.html
And for rendering you could have this video czcams.com/video/SpFwrQOpQ0M/video.html around the 27:20 I cover how I render into a mp4 video 😊. Hope this will help! Cheers!
@@tuat555 Thank you very much!
@@tuat555 One more question. Is there a way to make draw mode behave more like mask mode? I prefer drawing my keyframe outlines in that workflow but can't get it to happen. I also tried making masks every 4 frames in mask mode, but I can not figure out how to use those masks i drew as the keyframes in object mode. I hope this question makes sense.
I think I know what you're looking for 🤔. And yes you do have masks in drawing mode. I don't know if you're a new new beginner but I will try to guide you 👍. So if you open anew 2D animation scene look the timeline down below. You will find the layers at the left . Of course in the middle you have the timeline and keyframes. Then a your right there a column with a menu (Layer, Masks, Transform, etc). There you will find the Masks. Thick the back to activate the mask feature. If you develop the Masks menu. You will be able to add the layer to be masked. My explanation might be very sketchy but I will link you a video to get the trick 😉
I dоwnloaded everything is okay
Wow🙏, that's fine 😁 if it's helps you to progress, sure no problem 😊👍
After switching to object mode and importing a video, it's impossible to switch back to drawing mode. only object mode is available. Why ?
Okay so let's say you're in the viewport and you just imported your reference... and now at the top right corner of Blender there's the outliner panel. In it, you should find every object in the scene (the grease pencil elements, the camera, your reference,etc)...what you need to do is to click on the grease pencil object in this panel. And then try to switch mode...you should have access to the draw mode in that way 👍. Hope that helps 😁🌟.
Liked for vandamme dance.
He's the king 👑 🕺😁🌟💯🔥, thank you 🙏😊
could someone please explain something to me? When I import my video file it only plays the first few dozen frames but about halfway through the video it just freezes mid video. I need to animate the whole thing so could someone please give a solution to this?
OK friend here the solution. On the video watch from 0:30 for the settings when you importthe video. The issue you had is on the "Frame" section. Basically, you video freeze because you reached the frame limit to be read... what you need to do is to increase this "Frame" value to have more frame to be read...so you video won't be cut. 😉👍 Hope that'll help 🌟
How do you move the stroke of the body layer from frame 1 to 3? My problem is that the stroke is greyed out and can not select it to move and reshape it. I searched many places but couldn't find it. please reply, thanks for the technique tho.
Hi! 👋😃 I read your issue and I wanna know a bit more about how this occurred. So I re-watched the video and if I'm right you succeed to draw and sculpt the first frame isn't? And then the next frame you cannot do anything right? No selection? No changing mode either?🤔... which part is grayed out...the stroke on screen (the body circle)...I'm trying to figured out if you locked by accident the layer of the body (the lock sign)... or have try to select the body layer first (it should highlighted in green when it selected)...let me know about this first. I'll stay tuned 👍
@@tuat555 hey, thanks for the reply. So I figured out the problem. I did not copy keyframes from 1 to 3 with stroke data on them, instead, I copied the empty frame 1 to 3, and the gray was the onion of the 1st frame. A naive mistake on my side. Thanks a lot tho.
Ahhhh I'm glad to hear it😃. I tried to remake the action and I couldn't found the mistake you had😅. That's clear now for me either since you figured out🙂. I hope you'll finish that piece😁👍🌟. And no problem I always try to come and help whenever I see the SOS in comment😆👌
@@tuat555 Wow, thanks a lot, my friend.
You could have showed me a single frame with zero context and I would immediately recognize that it was from the best scene in Kickboxer.
Haha I got a real fan 🙌😄 let's gooo 🕺🔥. Old school movie like this are pure gold and this scene is just memorable ❤️🌟💯 Jean Claude Vandam nailed that so well 🕺👌
when i try to do the in-betweens the original tracing disappears when switch to the next frame
can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Ummm 🤔 could you tell me more about it (I'm trying to figure out the situation). So you're trying to do the interpolation right? If it the case, look at your timeline. The interpolation or in-between works if you do have 2 main keyframes. (That the requirements). Then you will need to place the playhead somewhere in-between these 2 keyframes. Now by using the interpolation you should get the in-between. I hope I don't confuse you too much...let me know how this work 🙂👍
Using blender for rotoscoping might limit users/creators. Use Adobe animate and trace the video.
Simpler, faster and it's vector based.
But I get it, if you're already used to blender, by all means use this method.
Thanks for sharing.
That's completely true. I've been using a Adobe Flash / Animate cc for yearsand indeed the interface is way more lighter to get really quickly into drawing 🙂👌. I believe getting into Blender as a newbie might be difficult...there's so many things you can do with it...the UI looks a bit complex too...so the adaptation to the software takes times 😅. But yeah I'm trying to help through such tutorials like this 😄 (not easy to simplify and explain but I love the challenge) Thank you, you are welcome, it's a pleasure to share 🌟💯
mocap from jean-claude van damme in one his amazingly similar movies
This dance is such a legend like Jean-Claude Van damme himself 🙌🤩🌟👌
I hope this can be a help to me I am finally updating my twitch and I hope to rotoscope some little animations of myself for opening and ending stream :)
No problem😊 I wish you will be able to make some cool for your channel & community 🙏😁🌟. Let me know if you questions or issues so can assist you if needed ✌️😃. Goodluck!
What a pain in the ass, but this looks easy and doable. THX for the info
Yeah in order to make it you will still have to put a bit of work 😅...just a little bit😆 but definitely easy and doable for everyone ✌️🙂💯 Thank you so much!
How many FPS is this??
The Blender file is set on 24fps and I animated the shot on 4 (so the render is les smooth than the original but helps for working faster) 😃👍
@@tuat555 excellent,
I wonder if anyone made 30fps or 60fps
Would be smoother and game changer if the output is good.
Thank you,
Expecting more from u ❤️
I don't know either but if someone does, that should be definitely looks impressive 😁👌. Thank you man, such a pleasure to be here and share 🙏✨️
So hard following this tutorial.
🙁 awww really??? Sorry to heard it. Some of the tutorial are very specific to some topics and doesn't really cover the basics of using Grease pencil. Maybe the episode is a bit advanced. Thanks for your feedback 🙏🙂
cheating
That's a good synonym for rotoscoping 😉, like tracing as well ✌️😁. It's an old school trick 👌
lol no it is not. not even close. everyone rotoscopes. it is certainly not cheating
@@rodeobot dude...its just,,,tracing...
anyone with a brain can do that...try animating with imagination and reference..thats the good deal, this is bs.
I do understand both opinions about rotoscoping, so just calm down, no need to start drama about the topic here😅 pls guys🙏. Rotoscoping has been a practice since decade. Indeed it has not a good appreciation but it's not forbidden art🤔. I'm just here to demonstrate that possibilities with Blender Grease pencil for those who are willing to learn that art style which is an easy afford for anyone ✌️😉
@@tuat555 look...i get it...its ok to use this to practice, but for me, its better to just make animation all with ur brain and references. like this: I made all this all by myself and it was tons of fun.

Very cool! I am new to blender and trying to learn its capabilities before i buy a tablet.
Thank you I'm glad to hear it🙏😊. Of course, take your time before buying tablet👍. To me you can easily do some good stuff without it😁. Having a tablet will just ease your workflow😉. Try a lot of things and have fun🌟
@@tuat555 Please recommend a good tablet?
Mine was the cheapest one that bought in 2015. It's a WACOM INTUOS SMALL. It's a very a basic tablet, an ideal choice for beginner in my opinion. And also WACOM is a solid brand in the domain, so you can trust their products. 🙂👍
@@tuat555 Thank you, Is it advisable to buy macbook pro m1 2020 for rendering in blender?
No problem 🙂👍. For your question to be honest I have no clue about "How the software run on a MacBook"🤔. I found the video of this guy czcams.com/video/30l8YdOWvTQ/video.html he's showing a bit about rendering and it seems to work well (and the video looks recent as well for the version he use)
what for?
In the case you want to study a real video sequence and turn it into an 2D animation, this technique will help you out to do the job 🙂👍 with grease pencil of course 😉👌
