Learn 2D Animation Fast with Reallusion’s Cartoon Animator 4

Lazy Animator，Cartoon Animator 初学者指南是我希望在 2012 年学习该软件时可以上的课程。我只是想尽快学习 Cartoon Animator，这样我就可以花更多时间创建自己的动画不会被困在我还没有学过的东西上。

短短三个半小时的视频教程 Lazy Animator 初学者的卡通动画师指南是一个速成课程，介绍了使用 Cartoon Animator 制作 2D 动画卡通所需的所有主要功能。适合初学者，或者即使您已经学习了一段时间的卡通动画师。

跟随，但没有逐步完成的项目。该课程是对制作精彩动画所需的所有基本功能的结构化演练。

旨在首先教您最简单的概念，然后逐步升级到更难、更复杂的功能，如果您按顺序浏览所有视频，您将不会被吓倒。

有六个主要的视频主题（每个主题部分分成大约十分钟的片段，所以你永远不会离休息太远）。您将了解

导航舞台、场景、转换道具、保存场景和项目（1 个视频）。

如何使用时间轴和过渡曲线为相机设置动画（1 个视频）。

所有类型的道具以及如何使用过渡、过渡曲线或弹性运动对它们进行变换、变形和动画处理，以及每个系统在时间轴中创建关键帧的位置。（3 个视频）。

所有类型的角色以及如何使用预动画动作、预动画根动作和 2D 关键动作编辑器为 G3 角色设置动画，以及如何修改、制作和保存自定义动作。您还将了解运动文件和 2D Key Motion 编辑器在时间线中制作关键帧的位置以及如何将过渡曲线应用到它们。（6 个视频）。

如何让你的角色使用自动对口型说话，以及如何在时间轴中手动调整对口型。您将学习如何使用 Face Puppet Editor 或 Face Key Editor 为 G3 角色面部设置动画。您将了解两个系统在时间轴中的何处创建关键帧，以及如何将变换、变形和过渡曲线应用于面部动画。您还将了解角色图层以及在哪里可以找到这些图层的关键帧。（6 个视频）。

最后，您将学习如何添加音效和音乐、调整音量，以及如何在时间线中编辑音频。然后，您将学习如何将您的作品导出为单帧、帧序列、透明视频或标准视频，以准备好导入您首选的视频编辑器。（2 个视频）。

正如你所看到的，即使是课程大纲也从简单的概念到逐步更难的概念，因为学习顺序已经考虑了很多。

再次，我强烈建议您按顺序观看所有视频，至少一次，即使您认为您已经知道早期的内容（这些部分很短，您将通过它们来了解它们！）。顺序很重要，因为后面的视频假定您已经看过之前显示的内容。这就是我能在这么短的时间内教这么多东西的原因。

包含的办公室和女商人项目场景

如果让您尽快使用 Cartoon Animator 达到高级水平还不够，该课程附带一个与渲染样式兼容的免费 Office 场景项目（如果您在课程的第 3 部分中了解这意味着什么）全新），包括 G3-360 头部、骨头手、办公室女性角色，您可以在自己的个人或商业项目中使用。

当您完成课程时，会有一个 PDF 文档，其中包含您在每个视频中所学内容的所有时间代码，因此您可以轻松找到想要重新访问的任何内容，而无需浏览每个视频以试图记住该信息的位置。

从本质上讲，这是您需要的最后一门初学者课程。它不会教你所有东西（怎么能在三个半小时内完成），但它比任何其他初学者课程都走得更远。即使是高级用户也可能会发现一两件他们没有尝试过或不知道的事情。

由我 (David Arandle (TET)) 创建，我是一名经过认证的 Reallusion 培训师，自 2010 年发布的 CrazyTalk Animator Pro 第一次迭代以来，我一直在使用 Cartoon Animator 4 制作动画。

Description
The Lazy Animator, Beginner’s Guide to Cartoon Animator is the kind of course I wish was available when I was learning the software back in 2012. I just wanted to learn Cartoon Animator as quickly as possible so I could spend more time creating my own animations without getting stuck on things I had yet to learn.

With just over three and a half hours of video tutorials The Lazy Animator Beginner’s Guide to Cartoon Animator is a crash course in all the main features you need to know in order to make 2D animated cartoons with Cartoon Animator. Suited to complete beginners or even if you’ve already been learning Cartoon Animator for a while.

Follow along but there are no step by step projects to complete. The course is a structured walkthrough of all the essential features you need to know to make amazing animations.

Designed to teach you the easiest concepts first, gradually moving up to harder, more complex features, that you will not be intimidated by, if you follow through all the videos in order.

There are six main video topics (with each topic section split into about ten minute bites so you’re never too far from taking a break). You’ll learn about

Navigating the stage, Scenes, Converting Props, Saving Scenes and Projects (1 Video).

How to animate the camera using the Timeline and Transition Curves (1 Video).

All the types of Props and how to transform, deform, and animate them using Transitions, Transition Curves or Elastic Motions, plus where each system creates key frames in the timeline. (3 Videos).

All the types of Characters and how to animate G3 Characters using pre-animated motions, pre-animated root motions, and the 2D Key Motion editor, as well as how to modify, make, and save custom motions. You’ll also learn where motion files and the 2D Key Motion editor make key frames in the timeline and how you can apply transition curves to them. (6 Videos).

How to make your characters talk with auto lip syncing, and how to manually adjust the lip sync in the timeline. You’ll learn how to animate G3 character faces using the Face Puppet Editor or the Face Key Editor. You’ll learn where both systems create key frames in the timeline and how you can apply transforms, deforms, and transition curves to facial animations. You’ll also learn about character layers and where to find the key frames for those. (6 Videos).

Finally you’ll learn how to add sound effects and music, adjust their volume, and how to edit audio in the timeline. Then you’ll learn how to export your work as a single frame, frame sequence, transparent video, or standard video ready to import into your preferred video editor. (2 Videos).

As you can see, even the course outline goes from easy to progressively harder concepts because so much thought has gone into the learning order.

Again, I highly recommend you watch all the videos in order, at least once, even if you think you already know the earlier stuff (those sections are short, you’ll power through them!). The order matters because later videos assume you’ve seen what has been shown before. It’s how I can teach so much in such a short time.

The included Office and Business Woman Project Scene

If getting you up to advanced level with Cartoon Animator as fast as possible wasn’t enough, the course comes with a free Office scene project that is Render Styles compatible (you’ll know what that means by part 3 of the course if you’re completely new), and includes a G3-360 head, bone hands, Office woman character that you can use in your own personal or commercial projects.

When you’re finished the course there is a PDF document with all the time codes for what you learned in each video so you can easily find anything you wish to revisit without having to scrub through each video trying to remember where that information was.

Essentially this is the last beginner’s course you’ll ever need. It doesn’t teach you everything (how could it in just over three and a half hours) but it goes so much further than any other beginners course. Even advanced users might find a thing or two they haven’t tried or didn’t know about.

Created by me (David Arandle (TET)), a Certified Reallusion Trainer, I’ve been animating with Cartoon Animator 4 since its first iteration as CrazyTalk Animator Pro, released in 2010.
