Hey guys, made an account on here because I'm working on a review for Gen 3 MLP, but I cant find any information on how it was made (animation-wise), does anyone know if Gen 3 was hand-drawn, or flash, or what?

 

I dont know much about art x.x

 

And for anyone wondering, I'm a gen 3 brony, so yes, I like that gen. Please dont hate xD

Almost all of it appears to have been done in Flash, just like FiM.

Really? It seems to be flash? Even the earlier ones where they had really detailed hair that moved so much?

Just asking because that seems really intricate for flash animation.

Could also possibly be traditional animation colored by computer.

Looks like computer-aided cel-animation. The cels were probably produced and colored by computer before filming. Looks sharper than older traditional animation, but not as sharp as FiM done on Flash.

g3 doesnt really look like traditional animation to me, they probably used flash/some other vector based program i would say.

 

but dont take my word for it.

True, it doesnt look exactly like Gen 1 or 2, I just kinda wish there were websites to visit that talked about technical aspects of cartoons.

I just really want the technical info, because it would be embarrassing if I said "Early Gen 3 is hand drawn", and I'm wrong xD
