Cartoon Animator 4 (CTA 4): https://www.reallusion.com/cartoon-animator/default.html

Cartoon Animator 4 is a 2D animation software designed for both ability of entry and productivity. You can turn images into animated characters, control characters with your facial expressions, generate lip-sync animation from audio, accomplish 3D parallax scenes, produce 2D visual effects, access content resources, and wield a comprehensive Photoshop pipeline to rapidly customize characters and create content.

In this video, you’ll learn about a unique workflow that utilizes both Photopea and Blender in order to significantly enhance the visual appeal of your Cartoon Animator 4 project.

You’ll start by learning how to assemble and animate a scene in Cartoon Animator within minutes, and then export it layer by layer. Photopea will be used to create normal maps from key background elements to enhance their depth in the 3D program Blender.

Finally, the last step is to assemble everything in Blender, utilize the normal maps to enhance the scene, and add simple lighting and camerawork to create the mood.
