Smartbones only allowing 2 actions per bone??!?!?!

[sillyanimate]

Hi, I am a Anime Studio Pro 9 user
You see I just smartbones to hide and fix seams....
I use bone constraints you see, so since smartbones isn't 100 perfect i want to make more than 2 actions per smartbone
The only problem is that after i put in the name of bone and the number 3, it doesn't work... I can tell because the bone isn't highlighted
I spelt the bone name correctly and only put one space after the 3 HELP!?!??!

Smart bones only allow for 2 actions per bone.

What about later versions (10 & 11?)

[dkwroot]

All versions of AS only allow two actions per bone. One for rotating clockwise and another for counter-clockwise.

still 2... and, as dkwroot said, those 2 smartbone actions are intended to be one each for positive (>0) angles of rotation and negative (<0) angles of rotation. Or you can have just one action for the whole range of rotations including >360

but within an action you can control many things - including other bones...

so if you wanted to ask "how many different things can you make one smartbone do?" the answer is "that's limited only by your imagination!"

[sillyanimate]

wait how do you use smartbones to control other bones?!?!?!
Also could smartbones work for a 360 degrees rotation like for 2.5d?

1: see ASP11.2 manual pages 105 to 117.
2: see viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28802

that should get you started. try a few things... then if/when you get stuck just ask!

ASP9 manual talks about smart bones on pages 77 to 89

That feature was added in 9.5 and really changed the way we rig.
