Hi, today I needed to animate a tiger walking inside a circle (like a hamster wheel) so I created a circular rule with lines each 10°. It works perfectly and animate the tiger took me no more than a half hour :l)

Nicely done (and a great character).
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

Hello, I am new to Anime studio and I feel kind of silly asking this but when i click the links to download I get pages with lots of scripts. I have never seen this before and I am unsure what to do in order to download this so I can use it in my projects? You did an amazing job on this!!

Thank you,

Michelle

Thank you jonbo but i have a big problem.
1 with the ruler both the character thigh bone have to be on the same spot (like side view) for the ruler to be effective.
2 my problem is one of my bone are apart not on the same spot (like 3/4 view) i dont want to translate the thigh bone only rotate it.

the ruler work perfect on my side view character but not on the 3/4 view on selgin tutorial is thigh bone are all over the place is that only only way the ruler can work can it use on 3/4 view and how?
thank you any one in advance...

Just double the measurements and use it for 2 steps instead of 1? Then you'll have the same leg at the position where you need it.

This is an awesome tool. I found that you can also make a copy of the ruler, and remove all animation so you can use the stationary ruler to easily adjust layer translation to match the walk.
