I made a vector shape on frame 0, filled with black. dragged it onto the bone layer and set shadow layer to +Add to mask. Nothing happened more than the Shadow layer moved with the Bone layer to it's position on frame 1.

Do I need to set the Bone layer as something?

Sounds like a plan. Will try on the bone layer.

No, what I need to do is filling the Image layer (head or body) with black on a copy of my normal figure. If I turn shading on nothing happens. The "Lenny" version only seem to work on something drawn in AS.

Is it possible to colour fill a custom figure from Photoshop to make a shadow?

My figure is made up of a layered Photoshop file. I have already put the bones together in the full colour figure, but would like to give him a shadow.

Maybe someone can help me getting started. I have a layered figure from Photoshop that I need to animate for a project. Exported to Anime with no problem, but can't get the bones right. She is in profile and has a dress, limbs that are in different layers (foot, lower leg, thigh), waist, body and he...
