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. They show you how to streamline your work flow with the newly added bone constraint functionalities and how the new smart bone set up will let you produce smart bones faster and more efficiently. 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.

I thought I'd make a video on how to make a smart bone action control switch layers. I also wanted to show a quick set up on making a smart bone dial that is set away from the character.

I should also mention if you want to make a visual reference smart bone you can just make it so it just controls a specific switch layer off to the side without linking it to another bone as well.
The reason I made the first example linked to the hand is so that in a busy scene, your control will always be near the hand!

My character was just getting too many switch layers in it so I'm in the process of creating a few of these switch layer controls and I thought I'd share as always!!!

This tutorial is to show you all how to use masking to create a gradient lighting effect that you would use for making flashlight or torch effects. It's pretty simple to achieve but you need to make two separate pieces of artwork .

You can do this by using another program such as Illustrator like I did or you can do it in Anime Studio by creating a background, duplicating and then changing all of the colors. I just used Illustrator because it's much easier for me to create backgrounds in it!

Once you've done this, you really only need to use a mask and use the LAYER blur function to make it look more realistic. (if that's what you're going for.)

As always, when you think of masking always remember it is a way to hide or reveal things!!!!!!!!

Join Victor Paredes as he shares with you his special techniques and tips to speed up your workflow in Anime Studio. See the various ways he creates walk cycles - one of the biggest challenges in animation. Learn how to improve head rotations in your animations as he discusses easy tracing tips, drawing for animation, using symmetry within Anime Studio, and how to use blend morphs effectively. In addition, Victor will share his insights on rigging soft shapes and show you how he brings his characters to life.

The supporting file contains the walk ruler.

My previous experiments with MDs has been really to test their abilities - but recently I've had a chance to use them in production which had me using them in a much more subtle way.

This video explains what morphs are, as well as showing a practical example where they are used to make a character read a book in a free way.

I also show why NOT to use the 'Blend Morphs' option that came with Anime Studio... use Rudiger's morph dials instead.
