Toot toot! 🚗 Still in the car modeling phase for my Animation Short Film. This second unique model is a more classy streamlined car.😊 Everything 2D (Textures everywhere and of course the Onscreen Titles) happily done in Affinity Designer, as the faithful reliable friend Designer is! (Design, 3D Modeling, surfacing/texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, VFX, camera in Blender. And Sound Design/Foley).

@James Ritson Thanks for your reply. That sounds promising. Looks like it's not as plug'n'play as I would think it would be. . I'll read that OpenEXR document to see if I can get the multi layers to work.

That's a very cute reeltoreel. Nice style. Love everything about it!

Hi, Currently I am encountering an issue in exporting to EXR layered; I've imported an EXR-file in Designer which has two layers: RGB and A (matte). So far, besides Designer seemingly picking the wrong color space for the file, this seems okay. Now, even without editing anything, I export this to a new EXR with the preset 'OpenEXR 32 bits linear (layered)' and open the result back in Designer again. To see that the export went wrong; Designer messed up the matte channel, which is now fully white (see screenshots below). Before reporting this as a bug; is there anybody here who got layered EXR export working in Affinity Designer? Is there something I am missing here? Original layers in imported EXR: Layers in exported EXR:

Toot toot! 🚗 Currently in the car modeling phase for my Animation Short Film. The first unique model is a simple, cheap, boxy car. More streamlined and luxurious vehicles are coming! 😊 Design, 3D Modeling, surfacing/texturing, animation, lighting, VFX, camera, Sound Design simple boxy toon car in Blender for usage in upcoming Animation Short Film. Everything 2D (Textures everywhere and of course the Onscreen Titles) happily done in Affinity Designer, as the faithful reliable friend Designer is!

Nice idea for a of project. I love how you gave the article headlines such a positive twist as oppose to the headlines on such magazines in real life

I did another test drive with my bus. This time driving through a Rainy Dutch City to test the final rigging of the bus for animation, VFX and the street environment with props I've been working on in 3D for an animation short film I'm working on. I think this was a nice test. Including sound design:

Love those silhouettes in the dark and the bright yellow accents in the front. That really works nicely!

That looks awesome. Great work!

I've animated the sketch on paper which I made this year of tadpoles living together in a tight space. Drew on paper, used Sketchbook Pro for outlines and filling, Affinity Designer and Photo for editing, cleaning up, adding all alpha's and splitting tadpoles into individual image files (using the great Spine exporter in the Export persona), Spine Pro to animate it and Davinci Resolve for the video edits/compositing. Hope you enjoy it!

@StuartRc Great ink drawings. Love your style. Some of these would really well suit a quality music video (especially 8 could be a snapshot from a mysterious Pink Floyd art music video). At least that's what comes into mind at first glance. Keep doing what you do!

Thanks Stuart! Appreciate your comment!

Thanks for your positive and descriptive feedback. Nice to see you like it!

I've animated one of the dragon illustrations I've made last year on paper. Did all the cutting, slicing and editing in Affinity Photo. Also super love the Batch Job feature, which saved me a lot of time to export all frame-layers forming image sequences into lots of individual files. Also always pleased with the Affinity Photo Clone Stamp, non-destructive vector masking and the great exporter which directly exports to files! 😀 After scanning I've used Krita for the drawing work and I've used Moho Pro to Animate it. All raster graphics. This time I've also created and recorded my own foley sounds using all kinds of real world products (except for the birds sounds), which was a lot of fun. Video is a seamless endless loop. Hope you like it! Original drawing on paper:
