Thanks Heyvern! That is a fantastic explanation. I am giving that a go right now. One question I have on that, as there is obvious duplication of frames in both left 360 turn and right 360 turn, can you copy them over from one to the other to save time? It would be good to copy some of the inbetween...

Hi All So I am planning a series of animations that will use the same characters in each one. Because of this, I am going to need each character to have a full range of movements from all angles. I originally started on the switch layer route for front, 3/4 views, sides and back views. Having now di...

Ah, no, it was something much more fundamental...my complete ignorance of how to use the software properly haha! I created a good(ish) body turn but when moving the arms to follow the body, I did this by moving the arm layer position which left the arm bones behind. I have now figured out it's a mil...

I think I'm having the same problem (I think!). I have just started playing about with smart bones and it's working pretty well for the motion the smart bone is created for.

Hi I want to animate a door opening but the scene has a view of the door at an angle rather than head on. I have tried setting the origin at the hinge side and rotating the layer but due to the angle, it doesn't open properly. Is there a way to adjust the origin point so it matches the angle of the ...

Thanks for your help! that's done the trick. You were right, my hand and fingers were all one shape. After making each finger a shape I was able to get the display order correct

Hi all Newbie here trying my hand at animation. I have worked my way through a number of tutorials and I'm getting used to the basics, however I'm struggling with one aspect and that's getting the right parts of vector images I draw to appear above the others (within the same layer). 2 recent exampl...
