The 3D workflow updates help integrate 2D and 3D more effectively. The ability to snap 3D models to surfaces, which makes it easier and faster to position and animate 3D models on a 2D plane like a floor or wall, for example, when blocking out shots. The model maintains contact with the surface regardless of any changes. This also works well with 2D animation. To add 2D drawings to 3D scenes, you can also create a drawing layer over a 3D surface that faces the camera and quickly draw artwork over 3D models. |
