An example of a scene with a spotlight from Christo gets Grounded by Francisco Universe


 If you wonder what does gradients do for vyond, this will help you to improve your vyond videos so it look professional and clean. Since gradients are so important to the scenes, you may try these tutorials how to make a gradient and your own customized gradient content!

Methods of Making Gradients

1. Basic Gradient

1. Color the blank background with desired color you like.
2. Go to props and search spotlight, click the spotlight that mentioned by the red box.
3.The spotlight seems small though.

Let's make it bigger, select the squares and make it bigger until full.
6. Save the your custom and rename it!

That's quiet simple though, and very easy, anyways, let's proceed to the next method.

2. Gradient Over Pattern

1.Go to background and go to patterns, click the pattern that you like. As you seen in the picture, the color seems a little bit dull.

2. Recolor the pattern with the brighter color or any brighter colors.
3. Go to the props and select the spotlight as the red box mentioned.

4. Resize the spotlight until become full.

5. Change the spotlight color into brighter color.

6. Save the your custom and rename it!

Methods of Making Custom Gradients for Scenes

Method 1: Using a single gradient or one spotlight

1. Go the props and click spotlight as mentioned in the red box.

2.Resize the spotlight crops and change into different brighter color. If it is white, just let the base background into gray or different color instead.

3. Save the gradient and rename it according to the colors.



Method 2: Using two gradients

1. Go the props and click spotlight as mentioned in the red box.




2.Resize the spotlight crops and change into different brighter color.
3.Copy the red spotlight and paste (ctrl+v) and change it into different brighter color. Rotate it to 180 degrees.
4. Select all the two spotlight and Click Group the two spotlights so it wont seperated when you copy to the finish product of the scene.

5. Save the gradient and rename it according to the colors.


Method 3: Using Transparent Rectangle Covered by Gradient

This is very important for darker scenes though.

1. Go to the props and select the black rectangle.



2. Resize the Rectangle

3. Search the props and search spotlight.

You can select on other assets by clicking the film icon!

4. Resize the spotlight and change the color into different color.


5. Copy and paste (ctrl+v) the darker spotlight (not the rectangle), drag and turn it into 180 degrees.

6. Select all the assets, right click, and click group.
7. Save it and rename the custom gradient according to the color.



Here are some other examples you may try with:

City Nighttime at 4:00 am (Not Ukraine)

Neon Party

Sunset

Make sure whether the scene is too bright, too dull or normal since it might hurt some people's eyes!

Too brighter ones are for these in cyberpunk eras (somewhere a lot of lights in one room!?)


When the darker colors and lighter colors stick together 

Okay, good for seeing characters and objects in the screen in the video. The darker colors and lighter colors separated a little bit. (Inspired by Omid, but I hate his behavior though.)

When darker was on the full screen but the lighter one went down (Good for darker scenes)

When lighter colors goes up and the dark was slightly up and lost it's darkness

Don't you ever hesitate by just separate even farther between two spotlighted colors! They will lose its cool and reflection!

If you wonder that you will custom your gradients by make the reflection and effect even less brighter and make more easier to use...

1. Go to your a video collection of scenes and pick one color. Select continue scene to copy.

2. Click edit group and drag a little far between two spotlight colors.


3. Save the scene and rename the gradient according to the color.


Proportions of the Scene Gradients

Here are some proportions of the gradients you need to try!

1. Single Gradient









2. Two Gradients









Make sure that all your presets are saved!
Stay tuned how to use customized gradients for scenes!

As we knew about the content of Daniel Fuenmayor Ledesma, Conner The Sushi Packer, Kieopera, Denise Sakana and the other vyonders are known for their hardwork over beautifying content. They used awesome scenes and using gradients to improve their videos. Watch an example of Conner the Sushi Packer's Camp Animal Crossing Scene. If we wonder if you want to add a gradient on your videos, you do it after finishing making an animation scene (adding character movements, adding character's voice, objects, adding transitions, effects, etc.) Let's do how does it works.

Vyond Tutorial: Resizing and Stretching an object or a Character

Image
Resize a character or a character 1. A simple resize of a character (I am using the default man frequently used by most people). The square of the edges are changing the sizes when drag them. They don't stretch. Besides, when you click the edge of the square wide out, the object or a character became bigger. When you drag the square edge into a smaller one, the object of the character. 2. When you press shift, there are other four squares beside the edges. These four squares between the objects are the ones which will stretch a character or object. When you drag the squares between the edges, the character will stretch. Stretching of a Object on a Scene For example if we going to make a secret door room in a Sci-Fi Story (Cubika). 1. Find a object that was fit for the scene. 2. Select the objects and resize it by drag the points while pressing shift. 3. Put in the right place, do not hesitate to misplace! See the video below how it works. By Motion Path 1. Change the character'...

 Hello, guys! Since I have departure from making vyond videos over nightsingers, I decided to make some easter egg tutorials instead. Yeah, you know about Daniel Fuenmayor Ledesma's Vyond Content is very great! I became a big fan of DFL and I became inspired by making my own videos before. If you want to be Daniel Fuenmayor Ledesma or Glyris (me) in making the videos, I'll make a tutorial for you all! Before starting to improve the videos, let's decide to the characters first. Even these poorly made characters look bland, let's start to improve the characters. Making The Characters      1. Open the vyond character maker. 2. Use a reference vyond files on Goanimate V2 wiki. I am using Ashlee White from, Cubika as an example. For prenium and essential members, you can improve the design and color to replace old ones. 3. Change the skin color according to the reference file if you using. Thus I recommend you some presets of skin colors below. Red squares show the preset...
