You're getting smooth interpolation from frame zero. You need to change the frame zero interpolation to step as well. Interpolation settings effect how things animate after the keyframe. But I do have Frame 0 set to "Step" http://i65.tinypic.com/140er2u.jpg You didn't in any of the above ...

If you're using a smart bone for lip sync, you'll want to set its keyframe interpolation to step, so you don't see all the intermediate phonemes. I set it to "Step"...unfortunately, that did not resolve this issue. So here is the one mouth formation that I actually did set in the timeline...

Quick question, I'm trying to sync my character's lips with the audio and it seemed easy enough...until I played it back from "Frame 1". As the "mouth" smart bone dials, every mouth shape passed appears on my character's face. So, for example, if I have 16 different mouth shapes ...

I wouldn't overthink the exact timing and scaling if it's a short distance. The simplest way is to set the origin at the vanishing point at, say, the feet of character and scale the whole figure. For example, this is a simple linear scale from 44% to 100%: http://i68.tinypic.com/2ykbzbn.jpg If you ...

Is there a way to accurately/proportionately make a character gradually get bigger as they walk/run towards the camera...or do you have to guesstimate and simply make them grow bigger manually, increasing their size bit by bit, frame by frame?

How did you create that little red dot right in the center of the pivot circle... 'Joint center' art easy to create, and you can do it in any program. 1. Use a circle tool to make a stroked circle. 2. Copy and paste the circle in place. 3. Without deselecting the copy, scale it down, constrained to...

Don't use the dial script for an attached limb, just make an action with the same name as the bone, then edit the action to rotate where you want and change the vector positions to fit. There are lots of tutorials and a good manual. Yea. I got it working now. That tutorial Neeters provided did the ...

Well not sure if this helps you but maybe you should animate the lines using the smartbones so no automatic solutions you should control what happen when both bones rotate yes...I understand that. the problem is I don't know how to do that, so if either of you would be kind enough to explain the pr...

Not sure what's happening here, but one tip I would recommend is using circle guides to locate the shoulders properly within the torso. http://i66.tinypic.com/5bnqpu.jpg You can enhance it further by animating the line profile. http://i66.tinypic.com/1js2no.jpg Here's the file , but it's pretty str...

Does anyone have a solution to smoothing other these shoulders. As the characters walk the shoulders get kinda funky. I tried to bind points but then the arm wouldn't swing at all, it would just smear when I dragged the bone in either direction. Any solutions/advice would be very much appreciated. h...

If the arms have no bone strength, the torso bone strength could be too low. Or maybe you need to switch to regional binding, or you have a few points in the torso point bound. Thanks Synth, I already solved that problem though. I remembered what you guys told me last time about point-binding. Quic...

I've done this before with perfect results, there must be a step I'm forgetting here. I turned down all the "Bone Strengths", could've swore that's what causes this type malarki. Please let me know if you know how to fix this...thanks!

SynthSin75 & Greenlaw, you guys are the best! Fuck Flex-Binding, that shit's not working right. But creating the circle joints like you suggested in my previous post is working perfectly, Greenlaw. & your suggestion worked like a charm, Synth, appreciate the help. Everything's working smooth...
