> Your only option today is to go buy an asset pack and do your best. There is a real possibility the assets generated by these tools will look equally or even more generic, the same generated images today are full of tells. > What this means is that making even a 2 minute short animation is out of reach for a solo artist. Flatland was animated and edited by a single person. In 2007. It’s a good movie. Granted, the characters are geometric shapes, but still it’s a 90 minute 3D movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland_(2007_Ehlinger_film) Puparia is a gorgeous 2D animated film done by a single person in 2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puparia These are exceptional cases (by definition, as there aren’t that many of them), but do not underestimate solo artists and the power of passion and resilience. | ||

Puparia is a 3 minute short film that took a veteran artist 3 years to make. I think you're making OP's point. | ||

There are always exceptions. I think the parent is refering to the many solo artists that would almost be able to make such great movies if not for some of the time constraints or life event etc. I'm sure there are countless solo artists that made 75% of a great movie then lacked time for unforeseeable reasons. Making the creation a bit easier allows much more solo artists to create! | ||
