I'm afraid I'm just a beginner at AS so I havin't used the particles yet.. They look great in your animation though..

I think I just left the interpolation on the standard Smooth setting..

I set the project to 16 Fps so I wouldin't have to do so many inbetweens..

I didn't get to fix some of those errant points yet, but here's the file of the bone rig with the 1st (the most generic) walk on the page I linked to.. I'd be interested to see what kind of body you give him if you decide to.. Please don't take my file as an example of the 'right' way to do it, as I...

Thats very nice.. I like the textures and the sense of depth..

Did you use particles for the bubbles?

It's really just the bone rig from the startup file with the simple limbs I drew in AS replacing the original images. All of the limbs started off as rectangles and then I added a few points here and there to make rough shapes.I kept each one on a separate layer and grouped them under the bone layer...

Thank you for the compliment.. At the moment I'm just trying to get the hang of this stuff so perhaps the loose feel is not entirely deliberate :D I'm glad you like the feel of it though, I was listening to music while doing the walk and was trying to get a nice rhythm to the cycle.. I just added an...

Thanks for the feedback guys..

I see what you mean about the knees popping.. I'll have another go and see if I can cure that.. Thanks..

Very nice character design..you must use a lot of layers!..

Great work..

Hey Folks,
Just posted a couple of updates.. the first one is an improved generic cartoon walk, the 2nd is my own tweak of that starting point, the plan was to make the figure look sad..

They're at the same link above..

Any comments or criticism appreciated..

Thanks

Thanks for the comments guys, I posted an update, this time walking in place,I used a guide line and onion skinning to get the feet on the ground a little better.. needs lots more work but it's a start.. it's at the same link above..

Hey Folks, I'm a big fan of animation and have recently bought Anime Studio Pro and am now taking my first steps (pun intended :D ) with rigging up a simple puppet so I can practice walks etc from the Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams. Here's a very simple test of a puppet I made by copying...

I'm running Anime Studio pro on Windows XP and every time I do a render I get an 'alert sound' .. it gets quite annoying if you have music running on the PC while working.. Is there anyway to switch this off, other than going to the windows folder and deleting the sound itself?

WOW!

Beautiful work..

Thank you very much..that's one problem solved...

I'm a brand new user of Anime Studio but have been using other animation programs for a little while..

My first impression is that the timeline F-curves could be improved by allowing you to adjust the curves using bezier handles rather than just choosing the general type..
