The same-named theatrical version of the marine adventure story “The Son of the Sea Beast” by the cartoonist Fifty Fathoms, STUDIO4°C, which took more than four years to produce, will finally take the lead with the Japanese audience this Friday (June 7). Meet. In order to faithfully reproduce the unique and poisonous style of the original, STUDIO4°C introduced a part of digital painting centered on CLIP STUDIO PAINT (hereinafter referred to as CSP). Bansuke Akiko, who was the assistant to the masterpiece painting, accepted an interview with the monthly magazine “CGWORLD+digital video” before the film was released, and talked about the advantages of digital painting
This book was produced in 2014, and actually did not intend to import digital painting. Mr. Sakamoto has been in business for 11 years and has worked closely with Supervisor Watanabe in the “Cosmic Brothers”. She has used EasyToon software and “Animation Notebook” on NDS since she was a student (うごくメモAccount) Make some simple animations, and have always been interested in digital painting. When Banyan began to participate in “The Son of the Sea Beast”, CSP has an animation function. I hope that it can be used in this work. I would like to recommend it to Xiao Xixianyi and Watanabe Supervisor who has experience in CG works
A total of 66 original paintings participated in this work, including 11 digital paintings; nearly 100 in charge of the middle sheet, and 3 digits were drawn by digital. Although both the original painting and the middle sheet were painted with digital, the part of the inspection was still carried out on paper. Xiaoxi, who was responsible for the overall painting supervision, not only had to correct the digital painting using digital materials, but also to supervise the 3D modeling. The board used by the board is Wacom’s new 13HD, and occasionally it will be replaced by the Wacom. If you want to draw a draft, you can use the tablet. If you want to draw more fine, the action density needs to be higher, and clear the line, it is best to use the pen display. Regarding the computer and configuration issues, it is basically the responsibility of the production of Tian Tianzhi. Most computers meet the minimum requirements and add memory when necessary
The software is mainly based on CSP, animation check and other relatively straightforward feelings. It uses TVPaint Animation (hereinafter referred to as TVP), and it is also the best choice to use TVP to restore the original unique lines. The CSP is fully functional. If there is a place to be corrected during preview, you can immediately pause the correction and add a pen. The TVP pauses in the preview and returns to the very beginning. This is a big advantage of CSP.In addition, if you use the CLIP STUDIO TABMATE joystick, you can also improve the efficiency of digital painting
The number of people involved in an animation production is so large that it is impossible for all the animated original artists to spend their energy on learning, so there is no way to completely convert to digital painting, but Tian Tianzhi also said that STUDIO4°C hopes to be completely in the future. All parties are actively cooperating in the production environment of digital conversion.The total number of
Is about 1500 CUT, of which digital painting accounts for about 140 CUT. There is also a large part of the draft original paintings also done by digital painting. There are 15 CUT or so, from the original painting to the middle sheet are all done with full digital. I haven’t been able to use all digital paintings in all CUTs, but digital painting has slowly begun to be recognized
For example, the scene of the handball club activities is digital painting, from the mirror to the draft original paintings are digital painting. According to Bans, the more intense the lens, the more passers-by characters are, the easier it is to fix it. This is a precious treasure for digital painting. In the case of post-production photography, it is better to bring the details to the other party
In addition, this requirement for passers-by painting is extremely strict, and digital painting can also be used to adjust some small differences at the time of inspection. Because it is easy to adjust the position of the material, including the characters, the lens of the world’s marine life such as dolphins and sharks can also take advantage of digital painting. The more the scenes, the more digital paintings will be used

Regarding the revised part, Xiao Xixian, who is the supervisor of the total painting, has participated in each process. In the original painting, the line is corrected in binarization, and the material is directly added after the photography. It is also a boon to digital painting to adjust and correct the initial to final process
From the CG material to the digital painting, add and correct, to the final completion map.
In addition to the mirrors, previews, detail adjustments and corrections, digital painting has a full appeal to the board. If the brush is used smoothly, it can also be used skillfully in painting. Although there are so many advantages, Sapporo still regrets the current problems, that is, there are still too few people in the industry who can use digital painting. Therefore, it is not yet possible to convert all of them into digital paintings to make a work. Too possible. Although this work has introduced digital painting, as the above data can be seen, it is still less than 10%. However, digital painting is really beginning to be integrated into animation production. Will such a trend change greatly in the future, and whether it can be replaced smoothly? The old physique needs to be discussed and studied by the industry as a whole. Whether the combination of paper painting and digital painting can bring success to this work, please wait and see
