Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    To begin a 2D animation in Blender, select the 2D Animation option when creating a new file, which provides a canvas to work on.

  • 2

    In the object properties, turning off use lights can make color picking more accurate for 2D projects, while the autolock inactive layers option in layer specials prevents accidental manipulation of other layers.

  • 3

    The noise modifier can be used to create a 'boiling line' effect, which makes an animation look like it's wobbling, and the visual effects properties offer options like blur, glow, flip, and pixelate.
