Although this is an old idea of Víctor Paredes, that he used in a couple projects, it's still relevant now.

Three ways to rig a character including smart bones.

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

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.

I've come up with a technique to separate soft tissue and contours for finer control of each independently - this isn't super complex, but moves fairly fast, rambling in places, and has some potentially confusing parts - hopefully you get the idea! Let me know.

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.
