Create this type of Animation into Animate

[pinterac]

Hello

i'm very curious to know if we can produce a similar content & video into Animate :

This is made in After effect, but can we produce the same quality of work into Animate CC?

thanks

You can do fairly complex things in real time, but it would take a lot of programming. For example:

Frima Studio's Adobe Flash "Stage 3D" demo video - YouTube

For getting a pseudo 3D effect, where you're moving layers and distorting them to seem like they are 3D, you could do that in Animate. The two main things that After Effects has that is better than Animate is that you can work in real 3D, and there is motion blur. Animate has blur, but it's not quite the same thing.

thanks for your reply, animation are made from 2D illustration with separated layers, its not 3D currently

Given the same set of layers Animate ought to be able to get close to the same effect. If you try it out make sure to go into the Library and set the bitmaps to allow smoothing in their properties. If this is to end up exporting to video you should set the bitmaps to lossless too.

Also, if you add this to the Actions panel of frame 1 in the timeline:

stage.quality = "best";

the antialiasing will be better than the default setting.

I have worked on animations similar to that, and it's possible to get similar results with enough different layers. The thing is just that you can't bend an image, only rotate, scale and scew separate images. So to make something bend, like the hair in the first example, you'll have to split the different pieces of hair into multiple different images.

You could use displacementmapfilter, but that would need a bit of code. Here's an example:
