2D Animation with 3D Technology

This contest event is set to empower many up-and-coming 2D artists thanks to Cartoon Animator's technology which offers visual communicators many creative opportunities through its real-time tools for social media, entertainment, education, business, music videos and more:

  • Easy Character Creation

Turn images into rigged characters by utilizing character templates with standard bone structures that quickly build up actors with any PSD editor. Users can use the 360 head feature to create head turning sprite animations.

  • 2D Motion Capture

The integration of simultaneous face, hand and body mocap replaces traditional keyframing to greatly accelerate production. Animators can combine webcams and iPhones to control character facial expressions combined with Leap Motion Controllers and Mocap Gloves for hand animation, that can be complemented with body mocap suits from Perception Neuron or Rokoko.

  • Vast Character & Motion Libraries

Creating characters and motions from scratch is time consuming. To speed up the creation process, Cartoon Animator provides vast libraries with thousands of pre-made characters and motions.

Previous Animation At Work Winners, Today's Rising Star

Previous Animation At Work contests highlighted amazing 2D talents who converted from casual animators to professional artists. 2019's Animation At Work first prize winner - Howard Vause, has gained great success with his entry "The Curious Child" on various international film festivals.

Another past 3rd place winner - Jim Stedman is now creating an animated series for pop idol group "Now United" contracted by renowned TV producer Simon Fuller.
