Greetings,i'm still playing with flag waving exercise,When importing the image of a flag to the stage,no problem to get the image,but i can't actually make it workable,when i add points the points are on their own Layer and i can't move any part of the original flag image,the tracing tool seems to b...

Greetings,played around all day with the Flag waving exercise, i'm a newjack at Animation and as i see now ,I lack many of the basic skills.The first problem i encountered was finding a flag that i could put onto the stage that did'nt fall apart or separate when i tried to apply your Tutorial.But i ...

Thank u,i'm not ready for that yet,but when i am i'll know where to find it!

Excellent work! Keep it up.

Here's a little short Animation thats been driving me nuts for awhile, lol.
i can see a few things that would make it better,but i was happy to have this revelation. Now i want to put the sticks in some figures hands,may need a little help.

Thanks for the prompt answers,i will try the suggestion and yes it would be an excellent tutorial for one of you advanced animators to share.Like batting a ball and throwing the bat down.

Hi i'm having a problem placing sporting objects in a characters hands and putting it back down,such as a Golf club or a Lacrosse stick,tennis racquette etc. Any object that would be held by two hands and the rest of the bones would move in sync ,Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

The important thing is that unlike bouncing a ball on a hard surface, you're dealing with fairly heavy objects jumping on a tense material, so there should be considerable slow down at the bottom of the bounce as well as the top, and the bit in between should ease in & out making the bit betwee...

How does one draw a straight line segment of a given color and thickness? Draw rectangles, circles, triangles, stars and spirals... sure.... don't see a 'draw line' tool. The 'add point' tool seems to want a closed shape before anything is drawn, and ALL the tutorial only dealt with closed shapes s...

I think he got offended by my advice - he's been on a rampage criticizing my youtube vids lol :wink: Actually i was hoping for some encouragement,but it's all good, i sense that u may have a personality similar to mine so a little harmless prodding will never hurt now that i know where your coming ...

RATH, Here is something I tried today after reading your post here. The ball could of been more realistic but I have never been one to really make a good bouncing ball. I tried to make the fabric on the trampoline look like it stretched and It could be better but I am happy with the hr or so I spen...

Actually this is a cartoon,not meant to duplicate reality,if i wanted reality i would have used my video camera,it would have been a lot easier. As i stated on the description of the video this is an "EXERCISE" I'm just familiarizing myself with the tools and putting something together. In...
