When I mentioned ZBrush, it was an example of being used in 3D work to make Maya and 3D Max appear more organic. I was wanting to do the turnaround development outside of AS. What I have in mind using AS is a 2 year goal. There's 2 shorter term goals. The 1st is to design the turnaround views, then ...

There's 2 websites that would be helpful, http://www.gamasutra.com/ and http://www.gamedev.net/ . Both of these have been around over 10 years and have accumulated a lot of information. First I start with reading gamedev's forum and library, and gamasutra's articles. A game development environment, ...

More stupid questions: characters premade and importing

Some of the premade content is provided as an Anime Studio file. Other premade content provides besides the Anime Studio file the individual parts of the character seen in the layers window as separate files and also a single one layer file that has multiple views of the complete character and their...

South Park walkcycle

I would like to duplicate the walk cycle, used in South Park in Anime Studio Pro. The Ars Technica, July 1, 1999 Dr. Evil interview, http://www.spscriptorium.com/SPinfo/MakingOfSouthPark.htm , discusses making the characters to move in a very jerky, "amateur production" style as follows (w...
