Throughout the past few weeks people keep asking me what program I use to make my animations.
Below I’ve compiled a list of tools that assisted me in creating my animation:
Blender
An awesome 3D modeling and rendering tool (amongst others). I also used this to edit and export the final video sequence. Since I hate Adobe with the passion of a thousand burning suns, learning the blender VSE was something I’ve always wanted to do. This project finally gave me the chance. Blender is great. 10/10, can recommend. And you can’t beat that price, Blender will always be completely free.
Aseprite
A pixel art editor. The best out there, in my opinion.
I used this for creating most of the sprites within my animation. Worth the price if you’re into making pixel art.
TPDNE
This person does not exist.
Ai generated people. I used this for the protagonist in my animation. This was then further given movement by an AI to make it seems even more lifelike.
Pixel FX Designer
A tool for creating particle systems in a pixel art style. Used for the rain and snow effects.
