Panoramic toon view....any idea?

Post by ruscular3d »

How would go about creating a panoramic interior of a apartment in toon render?

worse case scenario would be to convert a panoramic picture into vector, but its not the sharpest result. I love the poser 2014 comic book render in preview.

I would just draw it, in any bitmap program.

Last year I saw a film by a fellow Berlin animator who used a very minimalist comic style, and he used the spherical projection for some outdoor shots. His style was similar to this:

It worked amazingly well because of the loose line, lack of detail, and still correct perspective movement.

(This image is by Tim Dinter, a fellow artist in Berlin, and I know all the places he draws because I live there ...)

from what I heard at the webinar, these "spherical" panorama shots need to be created in something like photoshop to create a "distorted" image from a set of regular ones that, when "projected" onto the inside of a sphere look right. It's easy to imagine using AS to draw a set of images to give the 360 degree wrap-around and then feeding them through PS to create the image to be used. It's also conceptually possible to draw such a distorted image that includes the right distortions to make it look right when "projected", but if you can do that then maybe you don't need this panoramic tool.

I would love to see that German's animation with the panoramic in use.
You wouldn't happen to have a link to his work do you?

I could see a new need to start collecting panoramic view and making a toon background for it. Might be a market for it.

No, I'm sorry, I don't even know his name right now.
