How would i switch from one scene to the next, like a transition? Thanks.

Well if you want to do it all in ASP, you can cut or fade between scenes using layer visibility. Or you can get fancy and have a group layer for each scene, that way you can do any sort of layer manipulation to transition. ASP can easily do any of the fancy 'movie editor' transitions, just get creative. Stack your scenes so that when you scale and/or rotate and/or translate the previous scene out of view it exposes the next.

Just some ideas

Do you know what a group or bone layer is?
Do you know how to change the opacity of a layer over time or turn off its visibility?
Do you know how to use masking?

If you don't know how to do the above then learn those things first. "how do I do that" is too general. The options are endless.

Simplest answer:

Put all layers of one "scene" in a group/bone folder and all layers of another scene in another group/bone folder. Fade the opacity or turn off visibility of one scene so the other appears below it at a specific point in time.

There will be other issues involved like moving key frames of each scene so they start at the right point... etc etc.

That is just one teeny tiny example. You could also translate one scene off screen like a screen wipe. You could use masking to create a shrinking or growing circle to create a transition... etc etc.

I hope not, because Vern likes to find out new tricks and write about these in the forum.

I'm just curious how to control a 3D bone rig with a 2D master bone rig. Vern wrote he was working on that, so I guess he doesn't know a solution for that... yet.

The real world intrudes. Vern has to earn a living... and sleep... and eat occasionally too.

Can't you have a replica do that for you?

Yes, Mac for most things. I have both Mac/Win.
