Much better. There are just a couple of things that need fixing. There are some points in the body layer and in the tail layer that are not bound to any bones. And one of the bones in the tail isn't parented right.

Missing layer types in ANIME STUDIO Debut 8

It seems Content Paradise has just put up a few what they call tutorials, but are really quick demos on YouTube. One of them is titled patch layers in debut. Kind of misleading, since there is no ability to select patch layers under the layer creation submenu, they just quickly show it in use. You c...

I like the character but there are some problems with the rig. I didn't dig too deep into it but here are some suggestions for you. 1. I would add at least one more bone in the lower body. The three bones make bends a little sharp, four would allow a smoother bend. You might need more points there t...

Are you by chance using a character from the character wizard? Well anyways, group type layers like bone, switch, group layers pass any layer scaling,rotating, or translation on to any child layers contained in them. This lets you scale, rotate, or translate a bunch of layers together easily. But an...

If your question is can you bind a shape contained in one bone layer to a bone contained in another bone layer, then no. You can, however bind the entire first bone layer to a bone in another bone layer. Most rigs will only need one bone layer with all the bones and all of the layers, vectors,group,...

If you don't see this in the tool palette, then you don't have the bottle group layer in a bone layer.

Sure, you can have many layers bound to the same bone. Move the bottle group layer where you want it, then click on the bind layer tool. Now click on the hand bone you want it bound to, the bone should turn red to let you know its been selected.

There are a couple ways to this. Put all your elements from scene one into a group layer, and all of your elements for scene two in another group layer. Now put both of these group layers into a switch layer. Right clicking on the switch layer in the layer palette lets you switch between both scenes...

1. For this I would use ctr+r and save as a png image. I would then re-import the image and use layer scale and layer translate to enlarge the area I wanted to show. Now just use layer visability to show the image when you want. 2. Don't use gradients on moving objects, too many problems with that. ...

Its the layer shadow and shading effects that are causing the problem. If you turn it off on the layers you have it applied to, the patches render fine. I don't use layer shadows much so I don't know why it messes with patches. It must push the shape in the z axis so that its in front of the patch. ...

The video shows the problem but doesn't let us see what's causing it. You need to upload the anime file for us to be able to help you.

Upload the anime file to a file sharing site like DROPBOX or MEDIAFIRE , both have free accounts. That way we can check it on our end.
