In this 1-hour webinar Victor Parades will show you how his workflow for character rigging has improved with the new features of Anime Studio Pro 9. Using Smart Bones, Victor will demonstrate how to set up very simple bone rigging to complex simulated 3D rigs which would have been impossible in previous versions. Watch this professional artist at work and gain a valuable insight into his workflow.

This tutorial is really the same a the morphing tutorial but connected to a smart bone action so you can change your character at any time real easy.
This would be great for any characters you need to transform back and forth throughout your animations like a vampire character or a werewolf.
You can also use this technique for other things like animating hair growing or items transforming.
It's quick and really easy to set up once you have a character rigged!

In our final Anime Studio lesson on shading, we take a look at how to bind our shaded layers to the character. This will require traditional methods as well as the use of Smart Bones.
