Motion paths

Is there a way in Anime Studio to have an object follow a path of motion? For instance, if I have a ball and want it to bounce across the floor and want it's motion to follow a series of parabolic curves... I spent some time looking to see if there was such a thing in AS but can't find it (just camera tracking along a path).

There are some excellent user created scripts in the Scripting forum. One of these is a group of tools created by user macton.

There are a few that allow you to draw a curve and then paste the animation to match that curve. I have to head to work now but someone can help you get these installed if you can't figure it out.

Cool, thanks, I think that is what I am looking for. And easy enough to use Lua to procedurally generate the curves I need (like a parabola or similar conic).

Sneaking a look at my mail from work.

I think there is a script in AS somewhere that generated waves or similar. Perhaps you can use that and just modify the formula.

Thanks, easy enough to generate regardless (y = x^2)
