Workflow:
* I made the initial animation in Daz Studio. ([https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/84jdckxr8j4.png](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/84jdckxr8j4.png))
* I then rendered all 120 frames, and selected 8 keyframes to img2img. ([https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/pyq9cdkpmv4.png](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/pyq9cdkpmv4.png))
* The resulting images were not good enough, so I had to img2img pretty much each individual part separately.
* This was followed by masking all separate parts together in photoshop. ([https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/myd5cq5xpg4.jpg](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/myd5cq5xpg4.jpg))
* Plugged in the 8 keyframes and the 120 3d render frames to ebSynth.
* Exported the results to After Effects and rendered the video.
This required way too much manual work, and in my opinion the results were not worth the effort. I still think the result is kinda cool, but I will be trying different methods in the future.
I did learn a ton though, so I don’t think my time was wasted in the end.
