Of course, there is always the option of leaving the country. The US is made by immigrants and can be broken by emigrants. If laws get so bad that you can't earn your living as an artist anymore, you go live somewhere else. It has been done before, during the McCarthy witch hunt in the 1950s. I gues...

The problem is the politicians. They are more concerned about their image and using the name of the Lord in every second sentence, than getting some education about modern technology. The world shouldn't be run by old men in their fifties, sixties and seventies. They should mainly retire and let the...

BTW Only a few decades ago, this showreel could have you thrown into jail. Luckily everything has changed for the better in Romania. Alas, the render frame is still not perfect in AS. Actually, it has been improved, because before version 5.6 the single frame rendering just looked downright ugly on ...

Luxo Sr. --An Interview With John Laseter

http://www.harrymccracken.com/luxo.htm This is rather an oldie (1990), but there are some good observations. The most noteworthy I found was this one: Computer animation is different than handdrawn animation. One of the misnomers that a lot of people think about is that computers go into other indus...

Perhaps I can answer this question. The script is a so-called layer script. You need to set it in the General tab of the bone layer (Options -> embedded script file).

You can save a layer script anywhere you want, as long as it is accessible for the file system.

For who has the Official Guide to Anime Studio, it's on pages 279 and 280. What he means is the following. A walk cycle takes a certain amount of frames, let's say 23 frames. If your walk cycle starts at frame 1, the Cycle interpolation key is put in frame 24 (1 plus 23). The pose in frame 1 is the ...

I know I tend to over-complicate things, but this forum usually keeps me on the right track. You're right that I should first concentrate on the overall movement of the animal's body, and then see how this relates to the parts, how the masses move, and why. Once I have that I figured out, I can perh...

I think I should study real horses, to get a fresh look at the matter. However, I needed a simple method for the timing, hence the theory. I guess once I have a solid set of drawings, animating the stuff in vector animation will become much easier. However, I realize, that even for a professional an...

No, it's not just you. However, the problems with the renderer go much deeper than partial rendering. It is just dog slow, and it shouldn't have to be.

I personally think, the render engine of AS needs a complete overhaul. It should take advantage of multithreading and graphics processing units (GPUs). I know both can be a pain in the behind, but once you get it right, the resulting application becomes much more responsive and user-friendly. Modern...
