Vibration effect... how to achieve?

Post by steambc »

I'm considering buying Anime Studio and I was wondering about a specific technique I'd like to experiment with.

I wanted to do a child's drawing in crayon where even the static objects have that alive, "shimmering" or "vibrating" effect. It looks like the object is drawn 3 or 4 times almost but not quite identically and these 3 or 4 drawings are cycled through in a loop in order to make the object shimmer.

An example of the technique would be here, Goro's "The Beauty of Life":

Around the 1:58 mark is a good example of the effect.

Does Anime Studio have crayon-like drawing tools? Is this effect possible (cycling a hand-drawn object to make it vibrate) in AS?

Thanks for any advice!

Anime Studio has crayon render style and fill effects (and brushes to do crayon style of strokes). It also has animated noise for fills and strokes for vector layers, with settings to change how fast the noise animates.

As Wes wrote, Anime Studio has some effects that make very easy to work on that animation style.
If you want, you can also manually create animation cycles over the drawing, by moving the points or drawing frame by frame.

Some years ago I worked on this project:

Everything you see on it are vectors layers with animated noise. Also, the characters and elements are rigged with bones. At the end, to colorize the scene, there are thick vector strokes with a brush applied on them.
