Right now I save every minute and also save a back up file every five minutes. That's what I do all the time. It's just professional behaviour. I think I will reboot my computer every hour or so after using Anime, maybe that will help. I do that once a week (Mac). This isn't AS-specific, but just s...

http://dekku.blogspot.com/2007/10/alex-broetje-fische-und-schiffe.html This was done at a german art academy (coincidentially the one where I was using the rostrum camera some 15 years ago). The article says the artwork was done in Illustrator and the animation in AfterFX. The silhouette style work...

It's not enough to put something into a folder since the program still doesn't know to which bone you want the folder's content be bound.

That's great! (edit) I should say more. The design is very clever because it has the eyes and nose floating freely on a uniform surface. This makes things much easier when it comes to turns. Your other scene, the walk cycle, looks very promising. This is really good stuff. If you now just have a goo...

It is, and the author refuses to publish his stuff in a decent format.

While some people chew their nails about future program versions, others already work with what's there, and make money with it.

There's a known bug about rendering on Mac OS. You can work around this with using the Batch Export option instead of Export Animation.

Huh, that's a tough one. You'll need: 1. a place to show the films. Typically this would be a cinema, but a theatre or any big enough room for 200 seats will do. You can even do it open-air. 2. projecting equipment. 3. filmmakers willing to send you their films. 4. an audience. 5. money. 3 and 4 are...

Of course a blur doesn't look like a camera out of focus - it's an entirely different effect. For the most effects this doesn't matter, but if you really want to emulate that you need some more effort.

More contrast, more composition, a lighter area in the middle where the action is. Actual colour would depend on the character and the time of day. Overall I'd try to make the composition more interesting - what is it you want to tell in this shot?

Just for the record: I use AS on a Mac (PPC G5) and it usually runs a week without interruption, then I reboot just for safety and because I have the impression that everything slows down a lot. During this time other applications run as well, like Safari, Photoshop, Mirage, Flash and so on. AS cras...

I don't do 3D, so this is just a guess: OBJ files imported into AS need to be solid because AS doesn't have the kind of render engine needed for 3D and 3D transparencies.

But others here know much more about this subject.

This is nice! I like the music.

side note: the propellor of the submarine goes backwards ...

Since it seems you did the export from AS part right, the mistake must be inside the AfterFX part. Take care to follow the hints in the AFX manual.

Several possibilities here. Could you show us an example? Preferably one with the worm without layer translations, and one with.
