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.

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...
