Thankyou! The only thing i still need help on is a head turn using smart bones. that requires a lot of work... well depending on how complicated your head is, you basically need to animate frame by frame here is something i created for a test, but i realized it's easier to just use switch layers. b...

Thanks, Maxwell. I've tried setting the bone constraints, but still no luck. No matter what i do, the bone jumps straight to 90º the moment i create one action, and i can't set it fully left on the frame 0 of that action. :? Setting a keyframe on frame 1 of the action didn't solve the problem eithe...

here is the source file of my first fully functional character (created with smart bones and switch layers(head turd with switch layers, all body poses, smart bones on all arms and legs)) can't wait to share my second character with you i have more problems with it than i had with this one, and once...

dam it... wish i was not a starter -.- a chance to animate for deadmau5 is really rare... THIS IS MY NEW LIFE GOAL...

i didn't have a lot of problems with bones... i watched so much tutorials before starting that i think i know what i am doing... if that makes sense...

Hope that helps.

is ti possible that when you render from a distance the line will appear but when you render up close the line is gone? i did everything as it said in the post... it's really weird...

this was simply toooo cute i loved it!!

so i expanded the mask by a pixel and i still have the same problem
i would love to solve this problem because i want to use masking for this...

thank you this will be useful i have done some research of my own and i found a really simple solution... i just hit the lines underneath the inside of the mouth... might not be the professional way to do it but it worked for me i will look up this content so that i may learn more for the future tha...

Hello again so this time i noticed something weird going on when i render my character http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq2cmpCObz0&feature=youtu.be as you can see it renders out the mouth in a weird way here a better view http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3GWdJyHUZI&feature=youtu.be now i know ...

try adding bone constants to the bones i had the same problem when i started using ASP9 and i am only a beginner in AS once you added the bone constants you just do all the rest the same way
hope this helped

thank you i was experimenting with smart bones on the leg and failed horribly... so i just changed it to switch layers... working on the other poses and the mouth as we speak

this is just a really quick animation test... i made a character with smart bones (please ignore the leg it was a failed experiment)

please tell me what you think and as soon as i better myself i will show you my final product

Animate your character. Once you have the final version, duplicate it and put in the place you want as reflex. PD: Maybe you would want to create a new group layer and put the duplicated character inside it. Then flip, move and scale the group (instead of the duplicated character layer). That way y...
