2d art and video fields

[Bad_Sector]

I´m making a blend between 3d and 2d animation, my problem is:

Lightwave have field rendering, wich gives smooth playback on video. What i would like to know is how can i convert a sequence of scanned drawings (100 drawings for example) to fields, for smooth playback on video, and eventually make a perfect blend between lw output and 2d art.

Is it possible to make it in Digital fusion, or After Effects, or do i need a special program?

Thanks in advance.

You will need two drawings/frame for field look.

Just make the animation twice as long as the desired length (like if it was slomo), and speed it up by 200% to get fields.

What program do you use to make that, Halsu? Thanks for the general idea, i´m understanding better. But can you tell me what operators can i call in Dfusion or After Effects to achieve that? Or if you have a link for a tutorial, can you point me to it? I tried in digital fusion and your tip doesn´t work... :(

I don't have Digital Fusion, but here's how to do it in AE:

1. Import your animation

2. In the layer options, set the time stretch factor to 50% (same as 200% speed)

3. In the render options, make sure you you have set field render to either upper or lower first (it depends on your system which is the correct one).

4. Render. Done.

Thanks Eki, it worked fine :)
