Three ways to rig a character including smart bones.

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.

With a combination of Dynamic Bones and Smart Bone dials, you can create realistic breast physics for any of your female characters. You can combine these techniques or use them separately, depending on your needs. In the end, this video will take you through the process in adding some polish (and bounce) to the ladies of Anime Studio.

This tutorial is for anyone who wants to create randomly flickering lights in anime studio. All you need to do is create two separate pieces of artwork (this can even work for photos) and use a smart bone to turn one of the layers on and off randomly. It may not seem easy at first, but once you learn how to use it you'll probably use it all the time!
