This article introduces a CG animation case study published by Too Corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 3DCG scenes in the ending theme animation of Season 2 of the TV anime \u201cKAIJU No. 8<\/a>\u201d, Production I.G<\/a> adopted a production workflow that uses \u201cPSOFT Pencil+ 4 Line for After Effects<\/a>\u201d to edit and fine-tune line expression directly within After Effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible line expression tailored to the intent of each cut becomes possible by rethinking the traditional process of finalizing lines on the 3D software side and instead handling lines during compositing in After Effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The background behind the adoption, the approach to process design, and how the plugin was actually used are introduced in depth in Too Corporation<\/a>\u2019s user case study article. It's a must-read if you are interested in decision making and workflows in production environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
