I haven't use AS in years, still have v9Studio Pro. Looking at the tutorials video for the character wizard in v8 there all these presets for different men and women but in my v9. the selection includes generic bald guy and a lot of kids. Options/controls different too. Can any of you older pros :ro...

Back with AS 5 there used to be a tool that let you move shapes 'up' and 'down' on the same vector layer. In AS 9 that tool seems to be missing. So how do you change the stacking order of shapes on same layer?

Thanks Selgin. And I guess I should have said.."and question 2, what major features have been added since ASPro5?"

1. Will the 75$ upgrade work when upgrading from such an earlier version and what 'new' additions to the program have I missed in the last 4 upgrades ? (Been doing a lot of multi-cam video engineering for awhile.)

Thanks Vern. And thanks for the overview of AS6.

It's been 6 months or so since I've used AS as part of my work flow and having the support of regular users is Sooo helpful.

Using AS 5.5 Pro, I'm trying to import an image texture in the fill effects. In the selection dialog box all the image files are greyed out. I've tried opening .bmp, .gif, .jpg, and .tif. Don't have access to any. Am I doing something wrong. (PS- I checked to make sure it's an actual shape I'm tryin...

Me too...or three...or whatever we're up to now. BTW, wasn't Heyvern coming up with a site or book or something chuck full o' knowledge and experience? I'd like to see that too...or three...

Vertigo, workflow really depends a lot on how YOU work and what the final outcome is going to be like. Also, what software you have and how you like to work. You can create complete animations in AS Pro or you can add/alter/improve? your work by using 3rd party programs like Adobe After Effects. As ...

Zon, my experience with AS Pro, both in terms of its interface and capabilities, is a bit like my experience with Blender, an open source 3D program. Blender was initially developed by one guy, who created a good, basic program BUT, without some of the GUI niceties, or features, that a 'pro' program...

Thanks. I think that any 'problem' I was having with Fazeks tools was due to my misunderstanding of what was supposed to be happening. Your rig reminds me a lttle of my 3d rigs in Cinema 4D with 'goal' controllers. It's a really great bit of otside the box thinking. Thanks for your contribution. Can...

After much frustration trying to use both a walk cycle (which skated across the screen) and hand keying with locking the foot bones, which ends up with really weird and unexpected movements, I thought I might investigate your rig. OK, there's so much I don't know about AS. But I downloaded your scri...

This is happening in the rendered piece.

I'm masking a character with a invisible rectangle shape, revealing the character by moving his layer into the borders of the rectangle/mask. But instead of gradually revealing parts of the character as his layer moves into the mask boundary, the character gets to a certain point and then just pops ...

Is there a new features list somewhere? The 'readme' file didn't have anything. Are the layers reordering and raster texture feature the only two new features? (I'm not being disparaging here, just asking)

Mr. Lost Marble, Administrator (Mike?) person, who is minding the forum... Thank You BIG TIME for getting the forum back and happening! Not just the posting but the search functions.
