STEP 1 - Preparing the Timeline

Let’s begin by locating ProDrop: Toon in the Generator Library. There are over 30 unique cartoon styles to choose from. For this example we will be using the cartoon park animation. Drag the animation to your timeline. Select the animation and go to the Inspector Window.

Step 2 - Camera Controls

First let’s adjust our camera controls. The Angle Of View slider will adjust the perspective of your animation. For example moving the slider to the left will give more depth and by moving the slider to right will move you further into your animation. You can add more movement to your animation by key framing the angle of view slider so it seems like you are moving in or out of the forest. Next is the Animation Controls. The animation slider will control the left and right movement of your animation.

STEP 3 - Style Controls

Now Let’s move onto the Style Controls section. Begin by selecting a color for the background. Click the colored square on the bottom of the color bar. Once you have the colored square selected you can now change the color of the background. There are red, green, and blue sliders along with an opacity slider so you can get the exact color you want. Underneath you have an interpolation option and a location slider. The location slider will allow you to control the coverage of each color that is present in your background. Next you have the option of changing the type of your color between linear and radial. After choosing a type you can keyframe where the color type starts and ends. Once you have your starting and ending position set up, Go on to altering the color of the tint, clouds, and trees. Now let’s adjust the ground distance. By moving the slider to the right will give you more ground, While moving the slider to left will give you less ground. Hit the generate button to give you a new style of trees every time. Lastly, Adjust the tree scale and tree amount.

STEP 4 - Environment Controls
