Gone Fishin
A couple of years ago I created a new series called Judson Boys with anime studio. I posted the episodes on here. I recently revisited the series but converted it to 3d. I thought I would share it here.
Watch the 3d Version.
Watch the original 2d episode made with anime studio
Thanks

Ouch! Gods beware me of ever going fishing without at least wearing solid sunglasses!
As for which version I like better - this is difficult to say: For one it is obvious that the 3D Version is the newer one, animation there is smoother, there are also more details. But I am sich a fan of 2D...I do like the real toon appeal of the 2D version...Really hard to tell.

Thanks for the feedback. The issue for me is I agree the 3d overall looks better, however it also takes a lot longer to produce than the 2d version in anime studio. So do I make the change to 3d and produce less episodes with better quality or do I stay with 2d because I can produce them faster? This is a tough one.

Yes, it is a tricky question. I found out that the producing time is the one central issue when making animated films. Best would be to produce a regular series just as the Judson Boys, but how can one update this series in a regular way when making one episode takes this much time.
I don't know anything about 3D, but isn't it possible to create a personal content library, so re-using items would save you time?

Thanks! Yeah I can reuse pretty much anything. Even bone rigs. So that does save time. There are however many reasons it takes longer. There is no automated way to do lip syncing like papagayo for anime studio. I have found scripts to do it but they aren't accurate. The render time is one of my main concerns. For this episode of Judson Boys it was around 3 to 10 minutes per frame to render depending on where it was at in the scene. Suppose I could upgrade my computer. I have rendered other stuff that has taken a lot longer than that to render.
Overall I am starting to like the 3d look more. I have done a few Judson Boys comics in 3d recently and I really like it. It is really easy to do several camera angles. I will still definitely use anime studio because I love it. But I think for this series I may switch it over to 3d.
