Nice script, but any chance the behaviour can be changed when using the next and previous key buttons? At the moment, they move to the next and previous keys, but the numerical indicator of what frame you are on does not change. I would prefer if it showed which frame you are now on.

To get Anime Studio workspace to match the drawing area of your tablet, go to the 'Windows' menu in the menu bar [I am using a mac, so it may be different for you if you are using Windows]. Start selecting Timeline, Tools, etc. one by one. This will undock the palettes, with the result that ASP's wo...

1. Create your shapes with strokes only.
2. Use the paint bucket tool with the option of fill only.
3. Line width tool, as per usual, to thicken edges.

sbtamu, right-click on the link and download \ save-as [depending on your browser]. winknotes I went in and fixed up the rig, but then I realised you have 6.2 and I made a 7.1 file, so I’ll just give you the gist. You have the vectors for the arms in a sub group layer, this makes them unaffected by ...

Thanks PARKER, but you flatter me too much - a lot of it is due to post process. I think it could be done many times better, but it was only a test. yosefdbz, I want to clarify something for you. Yes, the fire ball would be easy to animate as I imagine, due to it’s simplistic underlining shape. But ...

If you choose TvPaint, you will be able to paint the backgrounds like in Artrage\Photoshop\Painter - all these are [mainly] bitmap based apps. 1) I am not sure, as I don't have an Intel based mac to even test the trial. I suggest to download the trial and try out a few simple effects. Also I will po...

I think it's a good idea that people stop referring to Toon Boom's software as the name of the company, as it confuses things a lot. For example saying "Even the Pro package is only half the price of Toonboom..." in reference to TvPaint is wrong, as Toon Boom Animate is $699.99 [normal pri...

That sounds like a fun job!

So did you pre-make some animations and then pasted their faces in? I would imagine it would take a while if you made custom animations.

Well you figured how to bake it yourself - that's the how. The why is that physics calculations [as well as particles] take a lot more processing time because the computer has to evaluate for every frame the position of every vector, whether they are colliding, the new direction the go after collidi...

Sure, I'll check out your thread. My best tip is practice drawing. The reason I say 'away from the computer' is that there is no interface invented yet which gives you control like paper and pencil. Anime Studio has only one drawing tool, and it's not very good. It smoothes out the lines too much wh...

slowtiger, if you read some of his youtube comments he admits that this version of ASP is not good for modelling and animating 3d, but he seems hopeful for the future.

It's not quite a trial and error process. Like a 3d app, AS rigging works in a way that the mesh [vector or bitmap] is constrained by the bone hierarchy. So one bone will control the entire mesh if it is alone. If you rig just the head of a full body character, by placing one long bone from the neck...

Turn off the vector [or image, I am not familiar with this character] layer and click on the bone layer. Choose the re-parent tool in the bone list. This will activate the parenting links of all the bones. The arrows point from the child towards their parent. This will give you all the information y...
