Having run large-scale forums like this in the past, I can definitely tell you any expectation of Lost Marble or E-Frontier for data retention beyond basic message content is just too unrealistic. There are far too many random factors involved to make it work. It would require massive changes to for...

One method I use myself, is to simply use an app like Audacity that will allow you to scrub through a sound file to track dialogue phonemes. I've even created audio timers that emit a brief pulse every frame to assist with this sort of thing. The result is pretty drastic when viewed as a waveform. (...

Rhoel, you never cease to amaze me! This is a fantastic, yet surprisingly simple application of Blender for use with Moho/AS! I'm still in the early stages of learning Blender's feature set, but I haven't quite reached the level of using the UV mapping tools for texturing in it. I'm looking forward ...

You might want to look into Magpie Pro . It's been around a long time and is practically an industry standard for this type of content. Magpie Pro already supports Moho, and should work with Anime Studio as well. (The native file format of Anime Studio is virtually identical to Moho's file format, b...

On a side note, I want to point out that a fantastic new book on Blender was released as of last week... Introducing Character Animation With Blender by Tony Mullen. I just got my copy of the book yesterday and it is, by far, the best written book on Blender to date. It's current up to v2.42 (good e...

Using popular current artwork for tracing is fine for personal use, but should not go beyond that, and certainly not be published on the internet. It is morally wrong to do so, even if the law would permit it. I fail to see what makes using such an easily recognizable piece of work as a point of re...

Please tell me you guys are not coming out in favour of tracing and plagiarism. Not at all... at least, not in the sense of profiting from it. However, as a learning aid, it's far easier to work with an object you already recognize vs. the typical method of random trial and error from scratch, only...

Clay, I find your efforts to be very inspiring for anyone wanting to achieve professional looking anime character designs in AS/Moho. I know from my own experiences that this can be a time-consuming process whether it's being drawn entirely from memory, or traced. I would personally hate to see you ...

Do the copyright holder allow that? I know the copyright holders of South Park don't mind, but those are the exception AFAIK. Personally, aside from maybe having Viz raise a stink over it (since they own the US distribution rights on Naruto ), I don't see why anyone would care so long as he credits...

Hee hee... My first computer animations were black and white aliased line drawings done with Hyper Card on a lowly 25mhz mac. Ahhh.... memories... hypertalk... my first programming language. ;) -vern Gah... Hypercard! That's a name I haven't seen in a looong time. I actually used it once to create ...

Well, I finally got around to watching the Anime: Concept to Reality DVD. Overall, it's definitely worth a look, but keep in mind that much of the content regarding how ArtFX created the animation elements in both Understanding Chaos and Shadow Skin is centered almost exclusively in 3D. Outside of t...
