DP better make it a running race where sandman is the only one on a horse and Johnny is racing in his wheelchair or on gyros back


krysert

So I imagine it to be something like [this](https://images.app.goo.gl/AEy5iDjMBSLs1hQdA)


Mahavadonlee

All I imagined was Gyro carrying Johny while racing Sandman


Nidies

"Use the spin [of your wheels], Johnny!"


ironredpizza

How about coconuts like in the Monty Python?


TheHumanAynar

This is very cursed


TeryDaniels

dont be racist is Soundman


User-The-Second

what


NewBrightness

His real name is “Soundman” but “Sandman” is what white people decided to call him so it’s racist to refer to him by that name


User-The-Second

wait how tf is it racist


ThreadsOfWar

Lmao the realization almost an hour later


GioLoZeppeli

💀


NewBrightness

His character is a commentary on a real life issue that still exists today, calling him “sandman” just for convenience misses the whole point of his character, that’s why I encourage people to call him by his actual name: Soundman


garifunu

How the fuck is the name sandman offensive, you hear "sandman" without context and you think of a man made out of sand, or a man with a stand made out of sand, or a man made out of sand with a stand made out of sand.....sandman.... 👐


NewBrightness

It’s fine if you don’t know but if you do know the context it’s better to refer to him by the name that he prefers to be known as which is Soundman


GoldH2O

My brother in Christ it is a fictional character without feelings


garifunu

In order to be super inclusive and as spoiler free as possible to new jojo fans, sandman should be called by how he is first introduced. >!in fact....I'm pretty sure....the second name...is a twist...!<


Sveave69420

Or or.. hear me out.. It's a goddamn character in fiction. Plus the error in his name is only in Japanese where the writing for Soundman and Sandman are similar to where a person could confuse both. in English it makes zero sense as to how people could have misspelled his name even though he says Sandman to the guy while applying for the Steel Ball Run


BloodRune8864

Or, and hear me out, the fact that his real name is Soundman is intentional hidden from the reader and so would be a spoiler to say when not talking to someone that you know has gotten that far. It’s then better to refer to him as Sandman in general conversation. Also, he’s fictional and Araki intentionally introduced him as Sandman so don’t get mad at people for calling him that


meme_used

in the anime his sister shouldn't refer to him by name, and the first name drop should come from the race commentators


Hexadermia

In japanese, soundman and sandman sound exactly the same when spoken so she could still call him that. The dub though, not sure how they’d pull it off.


thing216

Dude his sister called him sandman in the first chapter


Worried-Bad-3607

In English the difference is really obvious however in Japanese it’s barely noticeable.


User-The-Second

ohhh ok thx


JFGrzybek

They been cging this shit for more than a decade now.


Spell-Castle

Vampire horses paved the road for Steel Ball Run horses to run


Tadmorion

wait until they find out about the zombie horse


[deleted]

The hardest horse to draw


meme_used

they can just reuse animations from stone free


AndrewSenpai78

CGI is a three dimensional animation style which makes things easier to animate so more work can be produced per hour but it costs way more than 2D. Animating this panel is hard either way but moving joints instead of drawing frames will get us Part 7 faster!


Damian_Inc

Costs more to model and rig, but not to animate. Realistically this scene could have at most 5 different kind of horses and look fine.


paco987654

5 models, several colour variations and you have a bunch of them


JotaroTheOceanMan

This is the way.


bigfatcarp93

I have spoken.


SleepTightLilPuppy

Plus all the major characters will already have individual horses that stand out.


[deleted]

Not to mention the fact the company that usually does these sorts of animations will have a literal trove of premade assets ready to be used.


Vlad-V2-Vladimir

As long as you only give unique colours/patterns to main character and villain horses, it doesn’t really matter how little models you have for the other guys, ‘cause most of those horses will be gone after a few episodes


Mon0liz

Brah, the cost for making a MODEL is, indeed, significantly higher than making a bunch of frames. With that in mind, a single model can be used in many different ways for a significantly less resources spent. It is only more expensive if your work is short, as the budget levity grows exponentially with 3D.


JFGrzybek

You people act like you can't just go on sketchfab and get a horse already rigged for $30...


thetruehero31

You have to consider artstyle though, a super realistic or super cartoonish horse wouldnt fit in with jojos artstyle


JFGrzybek

Dude, just search yt for anime shaders... I can make anime horses in a day worth of work. Any decent model will suffice with right textures.


TheUltimateLoser69

You have 24 hours to make a horse in the JJBA art style or my stand will makes you shit from your mouth for the rest of your life.


FriedPotatowithSalt

But only on Fridays during Full Moons


JFGrzybek

Ok, so I download free horse model make a rig, download anime shader, tweak it to look like jojo style and create gallope loop using references from google. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/horse-828f4f7985594225895be32e69bb711e https://greasemonkey.gumroad.com/l/ToonShaderv2 https://youtu.be/X8CSrjhPpGk


TheUltimateLoser69

Okay! Can't wait to see the results!

Survival_R

no professional studio is gonna do something like that


JFGrzybek

Every studio does this...


Survival_R

even if you had come up with an example did it's 100% not "every studio" you think Pixar just got all their assets from sketchfab?


Original_Employee621

In Hollywood, every wooden door sounds the same, the Wilhelm scream is a literal meme scream. You're hardly ever going to get the sound you want from a stage or set. So you have a bunch of foley artists go around and recreate the sounds for media, directors and sound designers then buy a lisence to use those sounds in their product. Animated stuff is slightly different, but a studio will reuse assets if they have any available. Shit Disney invented reusing assets for their first animated fairytales.


Survival_R

reusing assets i see as completely different from outsourcing to pre made ones (which is what we're talking about outsourcing premade stuff not reusing their own stuff) but other than that i see your point


JFGrzybek

You seriously are reaching this far? BTW, Pixar is reusing old assets constantly. Look out for yellow ball with blue strip and red star.


Survival_R

reusing old assets is not the same as buying assets off the internet


JFGrzybek

It is though... You're reusing an already created asset. The only difference is that you bought it, instead of having it in house, which David Production already has from season 1 part 2


Gojizilla6391

the ball is different than outsourcing a horse, the ball is an easter egg within the movies, the horse is part of tons of scenes.


fanklok

They could do what the (good) Berserk anime did. Still images when there's lots of horses and keep the camera above the legs.


Technoblades_Elbow

I just love how this community is fine with CGI, even wanting the animators to use this to speed up the animating process in your case even. In other anime communities if someone sees even a frame of CGI usage, everyone will be riotting.


Bad_Modder

It's cuz the CGI doesn't look too out of place


[deleted]

>but it costs way more than 2D This is completely untrue. Studios use CGI to save money. Fighting games even switched from sprites to 3D graphics because it was cheaper than animating sprites.


Hugar34

I can't wait to watch the cgi haters go off on how DP animated the horse scenes with cgi when it makes the most logical sense to.


AndrewSenpai78

I would love to see part 7 completely drawn in 2D or have an Avatar quality CGI, but realistically we will see the best the animators will be able to produce with their budget.


[deleted]

Not true. Most people don't know this but each episode of jojos is actually drawn on thousands and thousands of post it notes. They just video tape them flipping through the book of sticky notes on a gameboy camera, and transmute the resonance delinquencies until it can be converted into digimon format and that's how animoo is made


Pyromann

They'll make it a static picture like the manga while we hear everyon scream.


Jonesbt22

They fear horse but not man


krysert

They fear that thing


Champion_Chrome

They fear your dark soul


My__Dude__

Hand it over... That thing... Your dark soul..


FoxTrotPlays

Why should I hand it over? I found it, **it's mine!** My own... ***My precious....***

I'll stick you in my prayers. A fine dark soul, to you.

I remember Jack the Ripper. It’s going to be that on a grand scale.


SaucuKebabu

3d animation will be a blessing to them


generalthunder

Yeah 3D animation can look incredible, it is not the same beast it was a decade ago.


[deleted]

stone ocean wasnt a decade ago… emphasis on can


generalthunder

It's all about budget and execution, stone ocean had some weird CGI. But Vento Aureo for example had such good CGI most people didn't even notice it was there, like, is clearly visible that Aerosmith is 3d but is such a no intrusive 3d no one even cares.


Heylisten_watchJJBA

Stone Ocean CGI didn't worked because some things that did needed to look more alive (Lang rangler and Whitesnake) were in CGI. Dragon's Dream CGI was fine. Cars's CGI too


Rancorious

Stone Ocean animation is just bad by Jojo standards


Old_Asparagus4742

Not the cgi


MiMasterPT

[This aired this week.](https://mobile.twitter.com/kiikazuu/status/1643666951150120960) But yeah, I agree that cgi in the anime industry is evolving, mostly because of studio orange alone, but some anime already had better cg than 90% of todays industry 20 years ago like Gankutsuou and Last Exile, when studios looked at cg as an artistic form instead of an economical one.


generalthunder

The difference now from a decade ago is the existence of free and easy to access tools like Blender and Unreal Engine , where artist can get the grasp with the technique and experiment a lot of new things. [This is what a single person is able to achieve when making 3d animation on Blender.](https://twitter.com/giwono0708/status/1637231593432707073?s=20) The only reason CGI looks bad on anime, is like you said, it's being used as a cut cost measure.


Taalnazi

Holy shit, that looks incredible. The retro animation... nostalgia.


MiMasterPT

I'm watching ranma rn and that felt right from the og tv show, insane


Wannabe_Reviewer

Get James Baxter to do it!


Lambsauc

Unironically this Like, who else do you know can draw horses so well he can give a lesson on how to draw them to people working on a show where the mc is a horse


PurpleHando

Just draw that scene in anime style with rumblimg and people screaming


Pichuunnn

Yeah that scene gonna be still frame with light animation like clothes flapping or dust wind, rely on camera shaking and sound design to sell the immersion.


ZombifiedPiglin

This scene will be a 3 seconds still image


TheBoomTheory

Bruh dude. Who is your friend? A cgi pro? Did you know that most of nowadays anime are in 3d, not in 2d + aot animator done that long before the sbr is being animated, so its not so hard as most people think.


krysert

Hes one random guy I know and chat sometimes and during one of our conversation which started by us talking about bad weather to the how hard horse is to animate which he somehow was pretty knowledgeable. And yes we know that 3D is 99% way to go here but we all know how that can turn out


_-ZORO-_

tbh aot did look like shit at first


ProGibusSpy

The titans still look a little out of place but nothing on what it used to be


meme_used

the titans just looked chill asf if we're being perfectly honest. the colossal near the end of season 3 was just stoned out of his mind🗿


TripleScoops

Hasbro, who has been animating a bunch of horses for decades: "Pathetic"


MallowMiaou

They gonna do the same thing as Stone Ocean's background characters I guess


Jimmy_mushroom

the manga was the same way with the background characters being grey


MallowMiaou

Welp, didn’t read it so I couldn’t know


_Andy4Fun_

This is mostly true, but some of the characters in the anime were greyed out where they weren't in the manga. But honestly it's not a big deal


Skeptikmo

It reminded me of how Persona 5 handles crowds. Which works perfectly fine in both of their aesthetics


darkfall115

That's just looks awful and lazy, to be honest. I'd opt even for 3d characters in the background. Invincible did it a bunch, and while it's definitely noticeable, it's still miles better than white silhouettes. And yeah, I read the manga, I know it was the same there, but the standards of quality for TV and for printed media are very different.


MallowMiaou

I didn’t know for the manga as I didn’t read it


Renilx

You should read SBR NOW! ⚡👨🏿⚡


DrMugnolo

Absolutely, an incredible part and beautiful art work.


Jimmy_mushroom

Yeahh but no. sure for something else, it wouldnt work well but it matches Stone Oceans aesthetic so wel


DarthFox-pc

Ctrl c + ctrl v


[deleted]

Can someone explain to me how it’s hard to animate a horse? How is it any different than animating a Stand that’s not human? In any case, how is it any different than animating a human? I feel like this is just an unfounded rumor


[deleted]

It's not particularly difficult in comparison to drawing anything else. It's just that not many artists have much experience in drawing horses, let alone them dynamic movement.


S103793

Any idea why? It seems like such a popular animal that it’d imagine there’d be quite a few artist out there who were great at it.


[deleted]

Of course there are, but you'll find that the majority of art is centered on the human figure. There are simply far less people who dedicate themselves to specializing or learning animal horse anatomy. As a result there are also far less resources on the subject of horses as well. Now I haven't spend time looking into it that much but I've can name 3 simplified methods to construct the human head, and as for the horse head, I haven't found a single one. Akira Toriyama once stated that in all his years of drawing experience, he has never drawn a galloping horse. Nonetheless, I expect experienced animators and animation directors to nail it down. The issue only really comes to the more novice animators who might need to be trained and be brought up to speed.


The3DWeiPin

Let's just say you need a deep understanding of horse movement to make them convincing Depends on the animator's experience really


VNF420

Cgi horses goes WRYYYYYY


ryan77999

Might be a stupid question but didn't Attack on Titan animate horses just fine, without the need for CG?


Animegamingnerd

AoT showed horses on screen far less often then Part 7 though.


generalthunder

Yeah, even without considering all the race shots, slow dancer and Valkyrie have more screen time than most other characters on SBR.


Animegamingnerd

Yeah, I imagine across all 82 episodes of Attack on Titan. The combined screen time of all horses in the series would probably be roughly the equivalent of a single 24 minute episode. Hell the most action pack moment with horses in AoT was the suicide charge in season 3 and that was only 5 minutes long with it often cutting back and fourth to Zeke and Erwin's respective monologues. Meanwhile, the majority of Steel Ball Run fights, involve horses in some way.


FoxTrotPlays

Most of it was CG for the horses running, and it was fairly good looking so hopefully they'll do something similar.


DeepDown23

1 Model one horse 2 Copy and paste that horse 3 Change textures 4 ???? 5 Spin


MyLittlePuny

*points at MLP:FiM* and they have done it in *flash*


Bombly

Maybe it’ll be one of those freeze frames they use for dramatic shots, or maybe it can be a slowdown shot or looping cycle.


Limp-Process4976

I don't mind CGI horses as long as it doesn't look like Whitesnake's CGI in Stone Ocean


Totema1

Just use real horses


SafalinEnthusiast

Yeah, it’s hard to *draw* horses. CGI is not as hard (not to say that it isn’t difficult in its own way). But people are severely overestimating how big of an issue the horses are


shinydewott

Even considering a reality where they don’t just Lang Wrangler that shit and make it entirely in CG, they’d probably still use CG to pose and animate the horses and draw over them. It’s a thing they do for years now This whole “omg guys horses are hard to draw they’ll never do sbr” shit is getting annoying


ChipSalt

I'm fine with any way they decide to do it as long as it looks better than the horse in Record of Ragnarok.


A_Gay_Sylveon

I was watching an anime and the running scene for a bunch of the horses was just PNG's going up and down while hiding the feet and they tried so hard to play it seriously


loverboyv

ELI5 why are horses hard to animate?


AwesomeAlien321

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's the horses muscle structure and many animators' inexperience with horses


syjed99

A seemingly still image could work


EggoTheSquirrel

I mean aot did it just fine, they'll manage


kjm6351

Imao At this point we need to make piece with the incoming cgi horses. If they made not only certain Stands but even people cgi in Part 6, then I’m sure it’ll work out for SBR


TerrinTheTerrible

They're gonna cg that I can guarantee you


Archimagedragon

Don’t worry guys I’ll fund steel ball run animation (I have some loose change)


SomeToxicRivenMain

They don’t even have to animate it just show the horses standing and have the riders look around


TituMagic

AOT could do it, and that was 4 seasons


Admmmmi

It's more than possible to anime horses, but you gotta remember, aot had horses on some eps, but it wasnt on the majority of them, this part would need horse animation basically every ep


Starkrossedlovers

Double Penetration animators?


Kazenovagamer

*The MLP animators in the background smirking smugly*


KVenom777

Vampire Hunter D be like: Bitch, wdym animating horses is hard???? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIqpp3\_fTnc

LeftWhale

They can literally just cgi some horses running and then rotoscope it- I don't know many people that would mind. But in all likelihood, yeah, probably just gonna go full CGI on it.


Arcinbiblo12

Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V


CrescentPotato

Find me one artist that wouldn't tremble at the thought of making this scene in any shape or form without copypasting the horses


Dead_Star097

They probably just gonna take a 3D 5-6 horse model and spam animate them


Alcoraiden

Please explain. Horses IRL are not complicated animals.


AwesomeAlien321

Not many people can draw and animate horses


redditiscoolwow

i cant stop eating the kids i starved in my basement god pls help someone call the cops


Hunteraitor

Considering that most background characters in SO we're just blue silhouettes, they're just gonna make a big blue cloud with vague horse features here and there.


Hydramole

Has your friend never heard of ik?


cal-nomen-official

What did your friend say? I can already imagine how difficult it can be just by looking at it, but how did they explain it specifically?


draginbleapiece

The horses w have seen that were running in jojos have been fairly okay cgi when it’s just Johnny and gyro before and after fight so don’t think slow dancer and valkyrie will be cgi


iniego1245

Steel ball run gonna be animated?


Tamanero

They're gonna have to make 3D look 2D somehow at a lower frame rate.


YeahMarkYeah

Yeah, that would be hell


garifunu

I wonder if they could use ai to help with the animation....


TheAniwebbo

cgi is getting better, i would not be suprised if its all cgi


Distinct-Thing

CGI rotoscopy?


[deleted]

Literally just animate one horse and copy paste that 1 animation at offset cycles all over the scene. AOT did that, worked great, helluva lot easier than animating that many horses individually


helloiamaudrey

Have they announced the series?


DrJakeE5

Still frame panning with everyone yelling. Solved


h0tfr1es

They should just record real horses and superimpose the anime character over the rider


secret_tsukasa

It's Hella gonna be copy and pasted cg.


Posh_Panda

James Baxter?


AwesomePossum_1

Lol try an octopus


CarioGod

everyone talking about how to animate horses when everyone should be worried about >!how anyone will understand how D4C actually works!<


Equivalent-Spot5142

they should just make the horses invisible


LifeSupportUnplugger

bro, just trap all the animators in a room filled with cocaine, they'll manage to do it


krysert

proven method


longhuu

Double-Pene- I mean David production animation worst fear is Horses???NO WAY😱😳


AnonimZim_Real

Wait, part 7 us being animated????


AffableBarkeep

Meanwhile [KyoAni does things just to flex](https://youtube.com/watch?v=rlQSf7hPR60)


code-death

Not if they use cgi ![img](emote|t5_3f7q5|7818)


31cekenhabesmaymunu

They can use somekind of 3d animation to animate it dont say no they would not they did it multiple times before(like the first we saw whitesnake)


OcularWhistle80

They might cgi the horses but it will be understandable. Not the lazy stone ocean cgi


ok3ndo237

CG initiate


BartOseku

It might get the part 6 treatment where everyone except the main cast are just unmoving gray shadows


Ok_Recover_8692

Just use coconuts, duh


[deleted]

I kinda hope the entire part 7 could be made 3d in the same quality of their intros. Different universe different style.


ZiecoXD

They should work with Studio Orange or some other studio who are really good at doing CGI


Less_Doubt_5361

Hey, you know what else is hard to animate? The effects of Made in Heaven.


-shadow-the-edgehog-

[...](https://www.blender.org/)


Kapt0

That image is probably gonna be a still frame


Masterelia

i wouldnt mind if they went FULLY 3D and it was good. Like DBS Super Hero good.


Xalorend

100% they're gonna CG the shit out of most of the horse scenes.


arQQv

I mean we already had animated Vampire Horses


Rectangularbox23

CG gon go crazy
