cider float 2,538 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 How would you feel about MLP becoming 3D animated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidon Aldermane 52 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 Job opening for me! Ha I think that it would really depend on the animators, they'd still have the wonderful voice-work and writing, so that's two tics in favor of. The real advantage behind the show's style is the amount of expressiveness you can give a 2D character. Though truth be told it's pretty much the same process for 3D.

Ribbonfree 2,383 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 I saw something along those lines on derpibooru... ... Wait a minute... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koppony 254 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 It would suck! Unless they do like a legends of equestria styled one with like proper lighting and border lands styled out lines. Still tho 2d for the win! |OC: Midnight Rush| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtore 2,770 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 Ehhhh... Not too good. It would need to be some kind of stylized 3D to look as natural as it looks in 2D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,578 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 This could be really good or fail miserably depending on the style. I think 3D style that *might* work would be the same type of animation used in certain scenes of Show By Rock. If that was done correctly with ponies, that could be pretty cute, potentially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manic 121 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 It can be done really well (see Nick TMNT), but it can be done horribly too. That being said, I think the show really has something special with the current style so I don't see a need to change. Maybe we'll randomly get a taste of it in a manic Pinkie episode or something.

Biggybrony 244 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 Absolutely not. Not allowed. It's allowed for a joke like in the Simpsons where Homer gets stuck in the 3rd dimension (totally a Pinkie Pie thing.) Imagine if every episode of the show looked like Source Film Maker... [shudder] 1 I'm not a medical expert, psychologist, psychiatrist, teacher or love doctor.

An Unknown Pony. 370 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 First 3 words after reading the topic: Goodbye source filmmaker. Maybe 3D may be good though. “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown” DeviantArt Account/Youtube account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Pathfinder 16,161 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 I could live with it as long as the quality and color of the animation was on par with what we have no; and what we have now is QUITE good. I'd hate to lose it. >_< Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirrus. 1,089 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 NO!!! The show's excellent use of flash animation was was one of the initial things that got me interested. The characters were much more fluid than most flash cartoons I've seen before. I've also worked with flash in the past so I know what extra work is needed to make the movement so fluid. As for 3D animation- You gain a dimension, yet seem to lose a dimension at the same time. Expressiveness seems to take a hit in 3D animated characters. Kind of like bad plastic surgery. (I hope you get what I mean, I can't think of how to explain it) A lot of the movement always seems slightly "off" also. Rainbow Rocks... at least how it could've looked... in a stranger, more interesting dimension For those who are wondering, Twilight is chewing bubble gum.

Trixio 443 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 as others have said, it depends on the style of animation etc. However I think I prefer the 2D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootaloodle 1,623 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 Well if you mean Friendship Is Magic then no, but maybe another MLP generation in the future could work with 3D. I think the 3D designs worked well with the new Alvin and the Chipmunks show so I don't see why not in an MLP show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayoUni2847 528 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 (edited) To be honest, it would be a fun change. I like 2D animation but I do have a soft spot for 3D animation and seeing ponies and EQG in glorious Maya-sculpted-and-animated-goodness would be fantastic. On a side note, to everyone that's shitting on SFM, it can be a great creative tool if done correctly. It's like G-Mod, a lot of people use it to make stupid stuff but you do have the special gems that really show how deep the programs can be. SFM and those free 2D programs are good for a simpler UI and controls but don't have as much diversity and power as the industries' standard for animation (such as Maya and Flash.)

Pastel 7,630 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 I feel like 3D doesn't go with these ponies, I would hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyNamedEarl 1,332 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 I don't think it would go well and it would mess with what's already a good style Creator of MLP Ruined Vines and Recorder Sh*t Equestria's Biggest Hip-Hop Nerd Everyday is Leg Day!

LightningCharm 40 July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 It might be fun if it was just a one time thing, but I'm too used to those wonderful 2D designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
