Character walking around in a circle

Post by onejahoh »

Hi everyone
Now I need a bit of help I am new to anime studio and I use ASP 8,I have been learning by myself at home so I have no one to guide me so I have a problem maybe its a small one but I dont know how to go about it kindly help out.
Thing is I want to make a character turn 360 degrees and while at it animate the character walking in a circle I have 4 poses I have already drawn (front,back,left side,right side).I tried using switch layers for the 360 turn but change from one pose to next one is very sharp not smooth blending.
I have been told to try Blend Morph but I don't know or understand what that is.
could anyone please help me know how to do both turns? for example character walking round in a circle using the 4 poses I have drawn please.

Regards!

So ... why do you want this? Walking in a circle is one of the most challinging tasks in frame-by-frame animation, and even more complicated in AS. The only "easy" way is in 3D.
AS 9.5 MacPro Quadcore 3GHz 16GB OS 10.6.8 Quicktime 7.6.6
AS 11 MacPro 12core 3GHz 32GB OS 10.11 Quicktime 10.7.3

this is not exactly you want. This may help you . This is Selgin's file.
extract with 7zip and open with ASP 8.2 or later.

@Slowtiger thanks for the reply.......I didnt know that but I would love to give it a try since I want to learn AS in its entirety and be able to do some quality stuff.I was actually trying to do a 360 turn to show my model I had seen something similar on a site I think by Gilles Charbonneau then I thought while at it why not animate a character walking around an object like a can kicking it or doing something of the sort.Anyways any idea where I could get anything tutorials either Video or documents close to this?? and are you in a position to walk me through Blend Morph?

@Patricia3d
thank you so much for this I really appreciate, but now I am trying to figure out whats going on here.I see them jumping in unison and I see switch layers but thats the furthest I know.could you by any chance know where i can get the tutorial for this or something like this whether in video or document? i would really appreciate. As well do you know anything about Blend Morph?

Thanks again for the help guys I appreciate taking the time to get back...
