2D Animation Workflow
Before anything else, it is important to understand the workflow of creating a 2D animation. This will enable one to gain an enhanced understanding of how Autodraft AI works and creates animation assets. Let's break the 2D animation workflow into five parts. Part 1: Creating backgrounds in a specific style. Part 2: Creating character turnaround sheets. Part 3: Ensuring that these characters are ready for rigging. Part 4: Rigging. Part 5: Voiceover and Compilation. Autodraft AI has made the first three parts of this workflow extremely easy. These processes are in the production pipeline and can be performed easily with the tool and without much hassles.

Create Character Turnaround Sheets
The next step in the process of creating 2D animation assets using Autodraft AI is to generate ready-to-rig character turnaround sheets. For this, you need to again create a new project with our model. Our tools boast of a simple interface to enable our users to generate character turnarounds in their preferred style.
You only need to write a description of your character and hit generate. It is really that simple! You just write the description and your ready-to-rig character will be generated. You can also upscale the images and animate them using this tool. You can also download an SVG from the tool.
