An Introduction with Wes Fowler

Learn more about this webinar at: http://my.smithmicro.com/webinars/anime-studio/scripts-in-anime-studio-pro/in...

Join Wes Fowler as he shows you how scripts can enhance the capabilities of making animations in Anime Studio Pro. He will show you what they are, the different types, and where they can be found. Wes will also discuss 3rd party scripts, provide scripting demonstrations and explain how they can extend the functionality of Anime Studio Pro. As well, learn the basics of scripting in the Lua scripting language, and how to access Anime Studio Pro's scripting interface.

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.
