In this tutorial of the character rigging basics we are going to talk about the bone strength tool and how it used and effects your rigs. This is a very powerful tool that can be used with both vectors and images.

Join Vern in this 1-hour webinar as he shows you how to create your own facial control rigs to animate the faces of your characters in Anime Studio Pro. Learn how to build simple controls for opening and closing the eyes, and for animating the eyebrows. These control rigs will allow you to animate features such as these both separately and/or together.

Do you ever get frustrated with bones over the face of your characters that clutter up the preview while trying to animate? As part of the face control rig, Vern will also cover creating an "External Control Rig" in Anime Studio using the Bone Constraints feature. The "External Bone Control Rig" will eliminate visual clutter allowing for a completely clean preview of the character's face during animation. By making use of a non-rendering vector layer, "control markers" are assigned to the control bones and the bone display can be turned off completely in the Anime Studio preview. Nothing will block or interfere with your view of the characters head and face while you animate. By using the ideas presented in this webinar you can simplify and streamline your animation process.

Hey everyone! A lot of people want to know how to hold and throw objects so here's a quick tutorial to show you how. This is not a new technique and has been around for a long time but I still thought I'd share for those of you who don't know how.

First, bind your object to a bone.
Second, parent that bone to your hand bone/s.
Third, to release, break the parenting of the object bone in the timeline!

You can use this technique to grab, hold or release with any object!

New! Animated Bone Parenting - Now you can switch parents for your bones mid-animation and Anime Studio will automatically keyframe the result. Use the Re-parent Bone Tool at any time to reset the parent or un-link bones completely by clicking off the canvas.

In this How to Animate we are going to talk about how the animation channels work so you can better understand what is happening to your animation. In this video we cover:
- Animation Channels
- Bone Scale
- Bone Rotation
- Bone Translation
- Red Animation Channel
- How Keyframes work

Join Fahim Niaz, Mike Clifton and Jason Cozy from the Anime Studio Team in this 1-1/2 hour webinar as they review the exciting new features in Anime Studio 10.

Learn how you can create more dynamic movement in your characters with the new Bounce, Elastic and Stagger Interpolations and how the new drawing tools will allow you to draw more free form shapes. All of this plus more! The webinar conclude with a questions and answers session.

In this Character Rigging tutorial, we are going to talk about the most basic things that you need to know. That is the bone, what it is and what it does. With this knowledge, you will know the first vital step to rigging.

Hey everyone, this tutorial just shows you how to create a hood for your characters by using two different layers that are bound to one bone and then how to add a smart bone action to it as well.
It's very easy to do and doesn't take too much time. I'm just long-winded in my explanations sometimes.

In this tutorial you will learn how Smart bone actions work in Moho Pro 12 and how to set them up properly to create better bends and other cool stuff! Smart bone actions were introduced back in Anime Studio 9 so any versions above 9 also apply
