It was made this morning. I have a lot of free time.
Canela is may first character that has Blend Morphs.
And they work very good.
But, I don't understand very well the animation with them. How can I animate them with keyframes?
I only can animate them sliding an option. And then, slide to other. But I can't move the action in the timeline. Like the keyframes.

I can do a tutorial for you.
Here's a new version of the blend-morph animation:

1st: create your character in a front view.
Then, create a new action "head right" and move the eyes, nose and mouth to the right, and adapt them to do a right view.
Then, click on the mainline action and click on a frame,
ctrl+shift+b and slide to the position you want.
Do it again with the left, down, up, eyes closed, the legs.
If you need it, enable the animated layer order in:
SETTINGS>>DEPHT SORT>>ENABLE LAYER ORDER
to pass the arms behind the torso or in front of the torso in the wanted keyframe

Thanks, but with "Still learning" I mean I starting to use it from next project.
I learned Blend morphs from ASP 5, but that versin was a NIGHTMARE for me... To make a single morph, I was forced to click the mouse button so many times I forgot my own name!
In ASP 7 it become a little easier...
I don't used it berfore because I bought AS Debut 6, and it don't have blend morphs.

Uhm, Imago, blend morph is a feature since version 6. Are you sure we are talking about the same?
Nice animation, skiblueplayer. I made some kind of blend morph tutorial some time ago, maybe it let things clearer.
(my english is not good neither, so don't laugh about my pronunciation, please

)

Sorry, I don't know how to say this in English, and I don't like the translators.
Selgin, ya había visto tu video. No pasa nada, mi acento también deja mucho que desear.

I know how to say this:
How do you bind different bones in a layer? I can't do it with the bind points...

Maybe I confused Actions and Blend Morphs... But they work toghether...
In Debut you can only USE blending and can't create it.
I used ASP 5.1 and Action creation was a mess. In ASP 7 SM had improved a lot the method.
