Weird points sticking out of imported PNG files

Post by Razkall »

Hi everyone, I've been eager to try out Anime Studio and this week I finally got the time to go through some of the tutorials included with the software. Having said that, I stumbled upon a problem that I cannot seem to solve myself.

I have imported several body parts, which are PNG files, and animated a bending arm and a walk cycle with the use of bones. In the view window everything seems to be going fine, but when I render the file, a sharp point is sticking out of the "mother" body parts (in this case the upper arm and leg).

I just discussed the problem with a co-worker, and he said he never came across this problem. Does anyone here know how to fix this?

Try using the Bone Strength tool to tweak the influence regions of the bones. Also, if you're using Region Binding vs Flex Binding, it may be more sensitive to the exact influence regions of the bones.
