SWEET (un)HOLY CRAP!!!! Once again I have to ask this forum's recurring question: "was this completely done using AS?" My first quess would be that the effect Mikdog was describing was done in Combustion or After Effects, but I could be wrong. In any event, this is really top shelf work!! ...

Really nice!!

Could you explain this a little more? I'm relatively new to AS, too. Are you using "switch layers" or are you morphing the vectors?

Thanks.

We try and use as little switch layers as possible because it can get pretty confusing when you get into some intense animation. GreyKid - I can't tell you how anxious I am to see an example of what you're talking about. The head turns and all the other animated action in "La Reine Soleil"...

In the Help file (User's Manual), go to "User Interface" folder, then "Layers Window".

That'll get you up-to-speed.

@ Binus, that's pretty sweet. Looks real good.

@ selgin, the post from GreyKid isn't that illuminating. Sounds like he's just saying "No, we don't use that many switch layers, just an extensive pre animation setup."

Anyone know what he's describing?

Project 1: The Arrival: Part One, add the background and UFO and animate it. Play with Key Frames. Second part: Make the Alien City and Animate it. Project 2: Part one, Create the underwater set, sand, ocean, seaweed, coral. Part 2, create the Yellow Fish, Shark, and Red Fish and add bones, animate...

E-Frontier should consider this a showcase example of what can be done with AS or Moho.

One little crit, I wasn't too sure either about what was going on with the block of type, or what the Gutenburg guy was thinking.

Right on, DK. I'll give that a shot.

Best,

Both questions will be answered if you follow the link in my original message.

Hi - Please forgive my noob questions for awhile. =] Even tho I'm a professional (Flash) animator, I'm relatively new to Anime Studio. The QT movie I created with a drop shadow (via one of the tutorials), has a weird quivering look at the beginning. ??? Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? ...

I downloaded the BitTorrent.exe. Ran it. D/L'd "odd-job-jack-episode-1-art.torrent" Ran it.

nothing showed up.

Worked absolutely perfectly for me. Great trick. Thanks Manu!

I can't WAIT till you guys post some sort of tutorial.
