>Having to pay the costs to either train the employees to use 3d software or hire a ton of people to do it, then having to acquire a commercial licence for the software, and then having to pay a ton more money to either make the assets from scratch or purchase the assets from a 3rd party.
SFM ponies are uncanny and ugly anyway, just stop.

I honestly hope they don't, or if they do it's just a one off thing. I legitimatley prefer 2d animation over 3d and I'm deeply saddened that a lot of different studios have abandoned 2d.
3d animation can be nice and all, but I find it generally lacks the soul and the character that a well stylized 2d animation can bring to the table. It doesn't help that a lot of 3d animation ends up being just turbo-moe-blobs...

Agreed. It would work well as a one off gag or something. If it lasted a tiny bit, it could genuinely be funny.

if they did theyd need to make some really good 3d models. i havent seen any i really liked, but 2snacks came closest.

I mean, I would be fine with it being a thing for a special or something else that could end up being a throw away and when it inevitably flops.

Too bad 2snacks abandoned those after they were plauged with issues, they were probably the best models we've seen to date.
That being said this guy comes pretty fucking close in my book

DJTHED has some really damn good ones (pic related). Close enough to rival 2snacks in my opinion.

>rival
who the fuck said they were rivals?
are you trying to start shit?
>>30841602
Oh shit nigga. I got to excited with my thesaurus here and used the word rival to sound more intellectual. I aint starting anything alright? Don't shoot me.
>>30841618
its okay i still love you.

Don't forget the costs of outsourcing render farms if they want it to look like shit. I've done some 3d animation with Maya before and rendering that shit is slow as fuck even with a good processor and almost no effects.
