Falling dominoes
Is there a faster way to create falling dominoes rather than creating a domino on 1 layer, copying it, and placing each subsequent domino down next to it (rinse and repeat)? If I want to create a long line of dominoes, is there a faster way to create them, like 10 at a time in a row?

I'm not sure if this script is installed by default or not, but in AS8 go to script>layer effects>RT: break apart shapes
so
- create all the bricks in one layer
- run the script to put each brick on a different layer
- now play with physics

Ramón also created an scatter brush tool which put each scattered piece on a different layer

Ramon's script is a tool. You have to put it on \Anime Studio Pro 7\scripts\tooljhbmw007 wrote:I'm using Anime Studio 7. I tried Ramon's scatterbrush script but it's not working? I put it in the scripts/menu/layer effects folder- is this correct?
It works just like scatter brush tool, but separating each piece on an independent layer. So you can create your domino, copy it and then use the scatter using clipboard.

Activate "splitter".jhbmw007 wrote:Hmm- I did that but it's still not creating new layers. Scatterbrush is working, but everything is staying on the same layer

Yes, with Ramón's lostlayer tool you can select all the layers and make them 3d at the same time:jhbmw007 wrote:Cool- got it working, thanks! This could work, except it's drawing freehand so not as precise. If I wanted to make them 3-d dominoes (using 3-d layers), is there anyway to make it so that each layer created is 3d?
