Welcome back! Sorry to hear about your issues.
I think we've all had some time away hopefully when Moho13 arrives it will reignite the fire

Best Wishes!

I have this software, and it's amazing... I've not really used it much to be honest, and not for prolonged periods (mainly just when showing how amazing it is to visitors :P so my examples below were all done in real time in about 3 minutes) - but where I really see potential for it in the short ter...

Well done guys, and thanks for sharing... I've been away from these forums too long - I'll check out the series.
Smith Micro should seek permission to compile and put out the 2D segments on their site.

for me, 12 looks more hand drawn and less 'interpolated' than the 24 option

Search the forums more deeply, I seem to remember there were AE import/export camera scripts around here many years ago - they may not work with 12 out of the box, but might be enough to get you on track.

googled it - viewtopic.php?t=18091

Hi Yueda, In your example it looks like 'sort layers by depth' is enabled... if you turn that off it will only use the actual layer position for order and would avoid the problem you are experiencing. If you want to sort the layers do it with 'animated layer order' on the main group - it will key la...

It can be a workflow PITA when things don't work in the same way you expect them in other software just by nesting masks, a little more thought needs to go into simplifying the requirements as much as possible but simplifying pays in the end! I really like the look of this new animation Nina, lookin...

if you put them into a group or bone layer you can enable 'animated layer order' on that parent layer. Then when dragging the sub layers (OFF FRAME 0) the ordering will be keyed in the parent so you can always move or delete the place where the order is changed.
Good luck.

Victor and I, and some other folks here should talk about what an open source animation program would look like.

Please keep me in the loop if you open these discussions elsewhere more private...

can't you select and drag to the left? That's technically one movement... I don't think it makes sense to snap to 0 every time you want to tweak line width on anything!

Hey Nina, draw and rig half, then reference the parent bone layer - not just the child vectors. Then any bone movements you make on your first layer are duplicated on the mirror. The main problem this would cause though, is that if either side crosses over to the other, it won't have the negative ef...

following on from what slow said, you could do half a character but flip and offset a reference - then just work on one side...

This needs to be marked as NSFW. Although I didn't find the bits that are supposed to be funny funny, I quite liked the use of music and the voice itself combined with bad English is quite funny. The overall timing isn't bad, I don't normally watch videos like this to the end (and came close to turn...

looks great

Awesome!
