New Anime Studio Pro user - Character animation
Hello all. My first post! Yeaaah! Normally I'm working in Adobe Illustrator, but I'm branching out to animation. I'm a new user to Anime Studio Pro 8 and to animation in general. Just got Anime Studio Pro this month (Aug. 6th) and have been very happy with what it can do. I have two clips I can share. The first clip was learning how to create mouth movements. I had a voice recording of my niece which seemed to fit the character and used it for the clip. A bonus was it was a short recording too. All the facial animations were done with images in switch layers.
The second clip is trying out a head turn. The head turn was used with the Morph Dials script and learning from the tutorials by, Funksmaname on YouTube. Thank you for creating those, they were really helpful. I like the results in the turn, but seemed awkward at first in creating the second image by shifting the points and lines from the first image. I imported a sketch of the face looking forward and used that as a guide. I only made one dial for the head turn, but will add others for the face.

it's funny coz i originlly draw the character in my avatar facing the other way, but when I flipped it he looked completely wierd! after making a LOT of changes he is way more balanced and looks OK facing either way... I think there's an important lesson here.flipping left/right to look for balance nice tip.

I discovered I had an evil half of my face and an ugly half... not idealGCharb wrote:One of the most freakish moment of my life was long ago when I did the flip half your face exercise, nearly fell out of my chair.
