John Lewis I'd bet on a renderer that mimics hand drawing. It's certainly conceivable to obtain a comparable result with hand drawings, but it would be a quite unlikely piece for someone already accustomed to code animations.
The problem with computer filters is they don't so the "over draw" lines like this has... he went past the points of the edges and you only do that with a ruler, not with a rendering engine, because the engine wouldn't simulate ruler lines.
John Lewis I beg to differ, I can perfectly imagine a renderer that would salt the drawing with noise in a similar way to better give an impression of hand drawn.
Boris Borcic I'll support my claim one last time. Two tip offs and both are based on the graph paper. If you were rendering using a program then you might add the graph paper for aesthetic effect, but this this animation (which appears to have 4 or 8 frames?) the graph paper is too perfectly aligned to be purely aesthetic. The top and bottom are aligned to to grid lines on the horizontal at one point and then at the apex (at 90 degrees rotation) they are exactly one square higher. Also there are two points where lines "blink" in and out and these lines are on the left and right sides. They are along the graph lines but are inaccurate and hence are barely noticeable because they appear for a fraction of a second.
In isolation any of these might be coincidental, but in sum they suggest it was hand drawn. I agree with your other assessment that the extra length of some lines might have been the artifact of some rendering system, but if that were the case you would not see them aligning to the graph paper.
Oh god, why did they make it move?
ReplyDeleteToo much awesome.
There's nothing there actually hand drawn, is there?
ReplyDeleteBoris Borcic I can't tell, but there are signs that it was hand done.
ReplyDeleteif one is lucky.........
