Beginner's Tutorials

[mkelley]

Or at least you know *one* way.

Remember that there never is only one way to do almost anything in animation. The more you learn, the more you know that you don't know much at all <g>.

Here are some tutorials I've been working on. Hope you find them useful.

• My first experiments with Anime Studio
• Character Design
• Basic Bones
• Movable Eyes
• Switches and Importing Objects
• Basic Masking
• The Walk Cycle
• Head and Body Rotation (4-part tutorial)
• Lip Synching is Easy
• Film Production - Soundtrack and Storyboard
• What I learned from making a 3-minute movie
• Exploring Limited Animation

Thanks to forum member rplate for making these tutorials available in PDF format.

I will update this post with new entries as they get added to my web site.

Yeah, that's too bad -- Gary had some genuinely useful stuff there.

Maybe someone here who downloaded his PDF could make it available -- I dunno how anyone would feel about that, but I'm pretty sure Gary wouldn't mind. He was always a sharing type of guy (but hasn't been on here for quite some time --hope that's not a bad sign).

On my own site I'm doing similar types of tutorials but at a much slower pace. Still, beginners might find it useful to visit:

The PDF link is still good, and looks like something that will be around for a while.

[mkelley]

Good catch -- I didn't check that out.

I've downloaded the PDF just in case.

[meltedtoons]

i remeber when he first introduced me to his tutorials. Good times..... but anyways I can't download his pdf files. Help?

oh and on his YT account, on his last time signed in status it was two months ago. Hopefully that just means he made a new account.

I let my domain lapse and wasn't paying attention, so these tutorials have been offline for the last 6 or 7 months.

As soon as the name servers get updated and my domain starts working again they should all be available again.

If at first you don't succeed, give it a few days and try again. They really are coming back!

[sbtamu]
