Which points are used in my smart bones actions?

I have a few bones and for some of them I have created a smart bone action. But I don't remember which points of my vector layers are used in the smart bone actions. How can I find out which points are used by a single bone action? Is it possible to highlight all these points when I choose a bone or...

Re: Bending is not working correctly

Is it possible to create branches that don't affect the shape of the trunk? For example, if I move the bones of a branch, then the shape of the trunk should not get distorted. But for the moment, the shape gets distorted when I move the bones of a branch. How should I create the bones of the branche...

Re: Bending is not working correctly

I encountered another problem when I want to mask something. In this example, I want that the green triangles are only in the blue area and not on the black border of the rectangle. How can I do the masking so that the green rectangles are not on the black border of the rectangle? Picture: https://w...

Re: Bending is not working correctly

It's not working. The branches and the apple are moving weirdly. For example, if I move a branch bone, then the branch looks distorted. I have not done this step for the branches, treetop and apple: - Select all bones, select all points, select Bone>Flexi-Bind Points, and repeat for each vector laye...

Re: Bending is not working correctly

I expanded my tree by a left and a right branch and a treetop. In the treetop, there should be hanging some apples. If I move the trunk, the rest of the tree should be moving too. In addition, I want to move the apples a little bit from left to right. For the moment, there is just one apple hanging ...

Re: Bending is not working correctly

I solved the problem. I was moving the bone with "manipulate bones" instead of "transform bone". Is it possible to see the real/final color of the tree in Anime Studio? If I use a gradient, then the color of the tree is always grey. But if I export the animation, then the tree ha...

Re: Bending is not working correctly

No, I don't want to move its base bone without the rest. I just want that the base bone can't be moved from one position to another position. I just want to change the angle of the base bone, but in my case the three bones are moving to another position if I want to change the angle of the base bone...

Re: Bending is not working correctly

It works, but I encountered one problem. If I manipulate the lowest bone(for example if I move it to the left), then the entire bone chain is not staying on it's position. It's moving in the direction I move the cursor. But I want that the bones stay on their position if I manipulate the lowest bone...

Re: Bending is not working correctly

Gradients DO BEND, but only by bone strength. Which bone preferences do you use? flexi-binding? Do you bound the points of the shape to the bones? You can use any binding you like, you just need to be sure that the strength regions of the bones you want to do the bending cover the gradient. AS does...

Re: How can I add a point in the middle of two other points?

I read the manual and I found out how to create peak and smooth points with the curvatute tool, but I don't know how to add a point exactly in the middle of two other points :? If I add a point, then it is not exactly in the middle. What can I do so that the new point is exactly in the middle of a l...

How can I add a point in the middle of two other points?

I imported an .svg file in Anime Studio that I created with Inkscape. The file is a trapezoid and I want to add new points between the existing points. The new points should be added in the middle of two existing points. How can I do that in Anime Studio? In addition, is it possible to change the ty...

Re: Bending is not working correctly

In addition, when I import the tree .svg file in Anime Studio, then the clipping preferences that I set in Inkscape are missing. At the beginning(in Inkscape), my tree looked like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jedvu6aqdzxa91d/testtree.png?dl=0 But after importing it in Anime Studio, it looks like ...

Bending is not working correctly

I want to bend the trunk of a tree but the trunk gets distorted when I move the upper bones of the trunk. In addition, the gradient isn't moving with the trunk when I move the bones. The binding mode is flexible binding and I bound the points of the trunk to the bones. How can I improve the animatio...
