Face animation
Posted: Sun Mar 23, 2008 8:29 pm
Hi everyone !
It's my first post here ! My name is Germain and I come from France so please forgive my english. I enjoy drawing and recently I heard about anime studio that's why I am here !
So I post it because I want to animate a manga like face. Just a girl saying something like "I love you" with a motion of her head.
I have already drawn the face on many different layers. One for the hair, one for each eyes... All the layers are done with another software and imported as *.png.
The problem is that I can't do anything good even if I have already done all the tutorials (from the help). I wonder if anime studio is really usefull for my task. So I have 3 questions !
Here is the first question : Do you have some hints, tutos on face animating form me ? I would love to have rose agent to learn how they did but it's expensive !
My second question : Maybe a simple gif animated software is good enough for me ? The only + I found in anime studio is the motion of the hair with the bone dynamics. (even if I didn't manage to simulate wind as they do in rose agent. Can you do this ?)
And at last : I didn't manage to make eyes and mouth opening and closing using bones (It screw all the face ^^). Is it possible or should I better use multiple layers.
So what a long post ! Thank you if you manage to read it all trough !
PS : Does anyone have a *.anme of a face animation ! It would help for sure !
