Woohooo!
Love that new texture fill. Works just like I hoped. The cool thing is you can layer two image textures (transparent png).
This means using named styles you could layer up to 6 images (crazy!). Then you can still add other shape effects like shading, halo whatever.
The is a great new feature.

I even expect Anime Studio to be sold off to another party, because SM was after Poser, not "that other stuff". Poser is sexy.
Anime Studio is a lot of honest hard work by a small minority of creative people. In fact, where Anime Studio is now is largely due to members in this forum, using the software, finding its limits and then the workarounds to go beyond the specifications (which prompted new features).

It only seems to work inside groups (normal ones and bone groups...). I've only played around with it for 10 minutes, but that's what I've discovered so far.teotoon wrote:Hey, where are the new features? I could not find the animatable layer ordering...
I'm not too sure about the motion paths. The Quicktime Mike showed suggested that you could add points to the path by just clicking on it. So far, I can only get it to work the way it did before.
Should I add another complaint here? <bg> I hate to look a gift horse...
I've never gotten an upgrade on ANY software that didn't have some kind of doc that explained what was new and how to use it. Apparently some people understand what might be new (like Vern and the new texture thingee) and although I "get" the layer ordering even then it would be nice to have known it worked only within groups.
As for the path edit stuff -- well, that would be seriously useful but if there is magic in getting it to work (or it isn't there at all) once again that would be nice to know.
I guess I should just be happy that I was able to get the download, right? (Well, I *can* use layer ordering in nearly all my projects, so that's nice).

Here is a recipe how to convert a 5.6 document into a 5.5 document:Genete wrote:Genete cannot help on newbies problems Genete is out of AS community.
- at line 2, replace "version 15" with "version 14"
- find all lines with "layer_ordering", and delete that line, plus anything between (and including) the next "[" and "]"
Editing motion paths
If your using a Mac hold down the CMD key and you can now drag points on the layer motion path and you can also add points by clicking on the path.
Yeah, it's the CTRL key on a PC -- I figured this out about two minutes after I made my post.
And that's very cool -- still don't understand the new fill thingee Vern's talking about, but I'm a happy camper so far.
(And Genete -- I feel your pain. Let's hope the Linux version gets released as well).

Okay, just another observation.
At least three new features have been added... but the help file is the same (for example, it still says layer order cannot be animated).
Even if no README doc were included, the help file should at least have been changed. This is very very sloppy (what would it have taken? About five minutes of someone's time?)
