  As I thought I would trace the 3d character animation in 2d software. I had to convert the 3d animation video in to  Images and trace each and every frame. or the key frame to make the 2d character for smooth animation. but it’s taking long as I have to trace each and every frame then. I started to think if there’s any alternative to this problem. I started looking for hybrid films with used 2d paint on 3d model I came across some movies like Arcane: League of Legends Arjun: The Warrior Prince Arcane: League of Legends 3d models or rigged and textured them to 2d animation style to avoid frame by frame animation and have smooth animation with less time   

  substance painter texture maps        these texture maps are very important for the textures on the 3d models as i started painting my textures in substance painter we get these kind of mays namely, base color map, emissive map, height map, metallic map, normal map, roughness map. these maps are exported from substance painter to adobe maya to get the textures and effects in maya to render the video format

  RIGGING I am still confused weather to do my animation in 3d or hybrid, i wanted to play safe and at the same time i want my work to support my research. which is why i did the rigging of both characters roy rig character                                                                      ben rig character  

to set the character in the textures i did the unwrapping and now i have add the basic colors to each lembert and export them in fbx or obj format to substance painter in with i can use the texture and add additional filters or layers which ever is required and with this i can adjust the color, roughness, transparency, and get the characters textured                                                       maya - material -solid colors substance 3d painter
