group to bone layer shift

Being one more prone to tinkering - as opposed to knuckling down and getting some 'real work' done - I have been looking at the *anme file structure. I had an earlier post asking about point rotation and the answer was "bind to a bone" but... the object was in a group layer. I also recall ...

insert keyframes

So, my sequence progresses then, as I often do, I change my mind. It would be sweeter with a wee extra bit before this bit. But, extra frames are needed to accomodate the new idea-bits. I have tried animation>rescale keyframes but that just seems to, well, rescale; the keyframes that are already the...

slight update

I have added the menu shortcuts. Thanks for the lead on *.strings synthsin75 - yep - but, as there weren't that many it ended up easier just typing them in. Helps with my learning as well :) also good to get some familiarity with some code stuff. So, a minimal upgrade here. I *would* like to add 'ot...

dem bones

thanks synthsin75 -
with the '75' as age or year of birth ;)

Bones is probably the major factor that helped me commit to AS. I see there is a lot i need to learn about just how much they can accomplish.

ooops on download

I agree that the process needs to be worked through but I have found that working through the examples given with the 'Official Guide' book that there are some things i just plain miss and on inspecting the finished file there is that 'Duh - so obvious, how did I not see *that*?' Either way, I appre...

audio layers :)

I can't imagine it being such a big deal to code into the source. Sound is such an important part of animation and clips/effects more so than a background sound track. Is there *anyone* working on/with the source code? I get the impression that Mike Clifton is THE MAN - but, then, if my bicycle had ...

great

thanks dueyftw

As a new user I am grateful for examples of how more experienced users approach different scenarios.

How about a file sample "with masking"?

I will work through the page when I have a bit of time.

thx - arfa

Rotating points

The answer to this may already exist? I select all an object's points and animate a rotation of that object. On playing it there is a scale (down) effect. I tried FA_rotate-points.lua that allows setting the rotation point. Same. The obvious solution is put the object on its own layer and rotate-lay...

just great

>JNandC yes, that works just fine using actions. The only limitation, and minor at that, is editing the action - ie. switch keys - the timeline is not in synch with the animation. I guess I should (before it gets to be an action) have it tuned to the sound file. Then it is just a matter of sliding t...

First release...

Here is my result so far: [url]www.buddhamind.info/as/dload.php?file=cheat-sheet.pdf[/url] I had the thought it might all fit on one sheet but, clearly not. So there is a good bunch of space left. Two possibilities: > include the 'Other' tool list as earlier suggested > add the menu commands. With t...

working around

Just browsing the forums as part of my learning. [b]JNandC[/b] - I imagine your "stumbled on a workaround" relates to your earlier post. I include the URL to my PHP workaround in case this might be of help to others. [url]http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12714[/url] The comp...

mixing it

>> wouldnt you lose everything before frame 20 Yes. Each *.dat would still have to be cut and pasted into a master .dat file. I have worked very little with actions but, no time like when there is a need to get into it. My PHP script works fine (for me) but it is always nice to have a 'normal' way o...

on and beyond

F5 I have - thx As I put the bits together the thought occurs to extend the tools list with "Others". The icon + a brief explanation of each. Being new to the program I haven't delved too deeply into what is available. I have downloaded a few and set up some of fa_*.lua Great extras. Is th...

full list

The first thing I am finding as I poke about is that many of my assumed 'missing' shortcuts appear in the bottom status on clicking each tool button. My overall intention is to learn these and become familiar with their application. A cheat sheat will appear in due course. The PDF is a good ref. - t...

just a few

There seem to me to be a lot of shortcuts that the program help file doesn't have. My thought was to add to, rewrite this file. I just didn't want to do the work if it had already been done. Overall, as a beginner, i found the basic tutorials very useful. Sure, there could be more but... not me. > a...
