I made a walk away figure in AS with point animation for any that might be interested.
Heres a flash image of it.

AND
Here's the Anime Studio file.

Remember it's a point animation, so the extra points at the bottom just off the main screen are part of the animation. That's where I hide parts that aren't in a particular frame. ie, the shade on the soles of the shoes and the finger lines or whatever need to be hidden. That way I don't need switches etc.
Also I had to split the pant legs in two because one leg goes behind the other at various times. While the hands go behind the body I hide them in the outline of the body. So if the dots look like a mess in places it's a purposeful mess. The figure was set up in Poser and then saved as a two tone movie, then rotoscoped.

If any think rotoscoping in AS is easy they haven't taken the challenge yet. It's a craft in and of it's self.

Thought I'd add the frontwalk here as well.

Good rotoscope!

Could you reveal some of your secrets, please?

This connects nicely to the other thread about rotoscoping: http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7883.

Obviously rplate used some video footage as reference, one can even see the little jump in one frame where the original walk doesn't connect smoothly to itself in the loop. This is nicely crafted rotoscoping, it doesn't flicker too much, but isn't straightened out too much as well.

Whoo hoo, nice work.

Speaking of that, it's awfully nice for the gurus to literally share their work with the apprentices.

Thanks

Uh oh, in the 3/4 view the guy has a very stiff right leg ... *g*
