Nice! Thanks for posting this!

Just looking for personal anecdotes out of curiosity. Mine are, in order:

1. fingers and grabs
2. turning from back to side (either head or body or both)

Thanks so much for your help funksmaname! I knew there was operator error involved somehow...

BTW I really enjoy your youtube tuts. Any more coming up?

Then they are drawn with many turns like 10, 20, 30, 40 degrees, etc. so that they can quic...

Thanks. This board had become virtually unreadable.

Agree. Pretty impressive use of 3D layers, gradients and tracking. Really shows what AS can do!

Great work! Would love to see the actual file to use as a study tool, if you wouldn't mind posting it...

Do you have an AS9 file you could post?

Good question, interested in this too

woo hoo!!!

Love this software. Really looking forward to new versions. Any news on 9.0? This year or 2013?

Hi Vinny: the manual is a good place to start for learning about switch layers. In a nutshell, right click on the yellow icon and select the layer you want to be visible.
