Basic Help

[davriver209]

Hey guys, I was just browsing the forum and there is a lot of impressive stuff to see. This program is pretty darn powerful and I'm very impressed. Now I'll spare myself the stresses of trying to understand the advanced stuff as I am still a beginner. So I decided to use this thread to ask basic questions with things I'm just trying to understand. Right now I'm just messing with it and learning the functions of the program. I guess these are my questions as of right now:

1.) I'm making a basic space foreground with planets, I want the planet's "inner things" to be rotating. So I was wondering how do I achieve this affect? (I'm still fiddling trying different ways)
2.) Also if I want to make multiple "characters" would they be in the same project? or can I make separate ones and import them into one large project? (I hope that made sense)

2. Yes, you can, and it's a good way to do so. Only make sure you create all characters the same size, to avoid trouble with different line thickness later. Just keep one character in all the character files as a reference. Each character should be in a different group layer and named, otherwise you can't import it later.

1. Try a round mask and a long surface image. Move it just slowly, so nobpdy notices the lack of perspective distortion.
