Unlocking Dynamic Motion: See How 2D & 3D Smear Frames Elevate Blender Animation!

Dive into the captivating world of 3D animation with this incredibly fun running cat!

This outstanding piece showcases an innovative blend of 2D and 3D smear frames, meticulously crafted within Blender.


Smear frames are a powerful technique used by animators to create the illusion of rapid movement and dynamic motion. By intentionally distorting an object across several frames, artists can dramatically enhance the sense of speed and fluidity.


What makes this animation particularly noteworthy is the clever integration of both:

  • 2D Smears: Traditionally drawn elongations or streaks that emphasize motion.
  • 3D Smears: Achieved by deforming the 3D model itself across frames to create motion blur effects directly within the geometry.

This creative combination not only adds a unique visual flair but also pushes the boundaries of what's possible in character animation, offering valuable inspiration for aspiring and experienced artists alike.
