A short video I put together- I had to take a 3d character and animate him best I could in Anime Studio- I think it turned out pretty well:

I'm particularly proud of the intro scene hehe.

good stuff jhbmw, very clean and professional, I like the thick black outline , did you use layer shadow or meshinstance for that.
I can't get a sharp line using layer shadow for that effect, so I have gone without.
What's the secret, large render and resize in post maybe?

Thanks! I used layer shadow for the outline effect- have never had a problem. I set the blur and offset to 0 and expansion?? (forgot what the option is) to 1 or 2. You also have to make sure you change the color to solid black. My only problem is I've been using this effect a little too often lately lol.
