Thank you so much everyone. I have been getting behind on replies and things so sorry. Still I really appreciate all the advice.

I am getting a bit behind on the times, programs, and miscellaneous. But I have started noticing a lot of music covers on YouTube where they have an image that has a loop of moving elements like sparks, fire, fog, lighting. At first I thought it was someone's personal frame by frame kind of work but...

Any tips on animating fire and lava in a realistic anime.

I know I am posting a lot of different little questions but it's just so when I get back to my project I can make progress. My time with the program is currently so limited but I do have more time with my phone for a few quick entraries. Any tips for this kind of head turn? I am currently working on...

Thank you for all the help. I have missed everyone. I understand what mocap is now Working on an update but it is going so much slower than I hoped. Hopefully I can repost it soon. I made the bars smaller which is working better and am adapting the clip with the canine. I may wait on shadows since m...

This is just adorable!!!

I think you're doing very well. I grew up on the Photoshop and traditional drawing. When I started to get into animation I tried a Adobe illustrator because I figured I could download the vectors into an animation program and I hated it. When I got anime studio pro aka moho I thought I would hate th...

Looks very good. I only found the face at 0:10 a little jarring.

I think the first video looks fine. Only thing that may be a little off is he is turned toward the camera not the street as he is walking. Maybe his attention is being directed at the audience or something off scene. Also I didn't notice this one small thing until like the fifth time I watched it. I...

What's mo-cap? His scaniverse test shots look amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!

Hey Hayasidist, it's w3rew0lfgrl_99. How's everyone! How's Mike I can find his site anymore! I think the effect I am going for is called a vertigo zoom effect? I use to be in film but life happened and it's been years. There is a going be a shot in the trailer on zooming in on the cat that "die...

I have to clips animating a scene relating to Schrodinger's cat in a Sci-fi Fantasy Anime. It will likely be rated R so viewer discretion beware. One clip is of the cat alive in a barred cage the next is of it dead in a barred cage. These clips are probably not of the actually event leading to the c...

What is Affinity? Looks like a drawing vector program?

I really appreciate both of your advice. I lately have had an extra load on my life and so I have been working on 'easier' parts of the animation and I haven't had time to tackle this newer part yet. Still I appreciate this advice greatly! I know I really need to upgrade or something but don't have ...

Okay I have never used Particles and while I guess I could do everything manually, I think particles would be pretty useful to learn for my current project. I am still on Anime Studio Pro 11. I want to upgrade but can't afford to do so yet so sorry. I know Particle effects approved in later versions...
