Most studios will pay for your software so you could try it for a couple months while looking for work.Īfter this trial, you could try a cheaper/freer tool than TvPaint and take 30 days to work on the basics try to knock out a small project through a tutorial. If you find yourself really good at it, consider it. If by the time it's over you hate vector, join the club but remember what you learned. Try to implement the 12 Principles of Animation into that trial. I'd just focus on that trial- and force-feed tutorials into yourself for the next 30 days.

If you didn't- vector is a CRAZY powerful tech that ANY digital artist could make full advantage of. I'm assuming in your illustration degree you didn't cover a ton of vector. So that's the educational aspect.įinancially: You did just get a Toonboom trial. Animation uses all of those skills in digital illustration some tools are even a 1:1 replica, but requires more planning, and higher technical knowledge because you're working on a timeline, not a single canvas. If graduated for illustration I assume you are proficient with digital painting.

Animation is entirely dependent on workflow. I'm approaching a big crossroads stepping into the world of 3D myself.īest advice I can offer: View this as a financial and educational investment.Įducationally: ToonBoom and TvPaint both have nearly vertically exponential learning curves.

Which is fine and you'll get used to it, but you'll find yourself in positions like this, which will undoubtedly happen many times in your creative career. Being an artist our creative ego's tell use we can do everything and you can but you get put in these predicaments where you gotta commit serious time or money to peak a new plateau. All these worlds blend together, skills blend together, so decision making is a fuck of a lot blurrier than you want. I totally understand, I'm in year 3 of a professional career in design/illustration/motion graphics/animation. You could try emailing support and asking if you can try it out for free.

TLDR - I feel you on the confusion, might be worth checking out another tool first unless you're deadset on this - OR you already have all the 2D animation skills just need to try TvPaint to see if it's better.ĮDIT - Sorry to answer your question - I'm not sure about the free trial they may have taken it down. The reason that people can sell a product like this that costs so much is that it offers its value as a time saver for pros who are on aggressive schedules and need to turn around work at a client/boss's requirements. Is this a career you're serious about getting into? Or a serious hobby? If you're not super serious or want to tread the waters first- I think it'd be smarter to try it out on a cheaper/free simpler frame by frame tool. It's hard to research it because there's just not much out about it. If you're going to seriously go after a career using that style of animation frame by frame you may need to look into it. From what I can tell- The software is really overpriced but good at what it does.
