Plonkett 345 August 15, 2018 Share August 15, 2018 (edited) Hopefully this is the right forum for this thread. Let's say you wanted to form your own Pony animation studio, like Jan Animations, Silly Filly Studios, and Duo Cartoonist, and wanted to find whatever tools to use, on top of having personnel to use them (such as writers, voice actors, animators, artists, compositors, modelers, editors, composers, etc). What tools would they be? My production arsenal would consist of these. Final Draft - Script writing Storyboard Pro - Storyboards/animatics TVPaint - 2d frame-by-frame animation Cacani - Automated inbetweening Toon Boom Harmony Premium - Coloring and other features Corel Painter - 2d background painting Photoshop - Background adjustments, among other functions After Effects - 2d compositing Nuke - 3d compositing Autodesk Maya - 3d animation and rigging Modo - Modelling and 3d environments Zbrush - Sculpting Houdini - 3d special fx Renderman, Arnold, Mental Ray, Mantra, etc - Rendering Premiere, Avid Media Composer, and Davinci Resolve - Video editing Audition - Editing sound fx and voiceovers Cubase, Pro Tools, and Digital Performer - Music Flix, Toon Boom Producer, and Shotgun - Production tracking Edited August 23, 2018 by vgmaster9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuteycindyhoney 13,306 August 16, 2018 Share August 16, 2018 I don't know what software was used, but imagine if MLP:FIM was made using the techniques behind "Zootopia"? It would be truly amazing! I don't mean anthropomorphize (spelled it right!) the characters. Just make them look more like actual living beings. Thank you Sparklefan1234!!!

I'm not 100% sure if it was used with them, but it has been established that Disney uses Maya for animating/modeling, Zbrush for sculpting, Houdini for special fx, Nuke for compositing, and Hyperion (a proprietary Disney software) for rendering. I would truly love to see an MLP animation with high end 3d software. Edited August 16, 2018 by vgmaster9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
