Excellent - will do! Thanks!

Hi again! I'm back at it with my "live performance" animated music video. My character needs a lot of tweaking but the basic rig is more or less done, and now I want it to be able to stand behind the microphone, while also being able to place its hands "on top" of it, layer wise....

I've managed to solve all my woes with the help you provided. Thank you again.

You can't believe what a relief this is. I've been tearing my hair all day. And yeah, I had gotten pretty far before, but noticed that changing things about the assets as I went along caused a lot of problems. I thought deleting the bones/bone layer would reset all the binding related stuff with it....

I decided to create a new topic for this. Two of my layers have straight up stopped being susceptible to automatic flexi binding, and I have no idea why. The anme file is up on my onedrive here: http://1drv.ms/1EUcYFe If somebody could take a look it would be hugely appreciated. I'm stumped and losi...

You need to plan ahead because you can't animate the origin point. How do I make sure that things are in order? What tools can I use without messing this stuff up? Do I always need to use the Transform Points tool rather than move layer groups and layers when creating characters? Hope this helps. G...

I'm almost done building the character all assembled, and I'll start putting in new bones soon. The coordinate problem went away when I redid all the copy/flipping with no skeleton, so that was likely what caused my problem before. Quick question. When I want to move elements contained within a laye...

Thank you all so much! It's such a relief to have a compass in all of this. If you're using version 10, I suggest taking a look at the Pirate Girl rig and picking it apart for reference. Most of the rig is pretty straight forward, but you'll want to un-hide all the bones to see how some of the more ...

Hi! Thanks! And thanks for the reply! Yeah it's a bit of an erratic post on the subject. There are so many variables in play - so many concepts working in tandem, it's hard to know how to start untangling it. Especially at 3 in the morning! :D But okay, coffee powered explanation time. the bit that ...

Anndddd I just noticed that the arm I copied, moved away and flipped horizontally still has the same coordinates as the other arm. That's my brain turned to jelly.

Explains why the bones were *mega confused*. Explains nothing to me, though! Oh boy.

Hi there! Short time lurker, first time caller! I'm very new to Anime Studio, and I've gone through the tutorials and have a fairly basic grip on what is going on. For my first project I'm making a little "music video" with a lady singing and... swaying back and forth a little. It's extrem...
