Hi All,

Newbie question:

I was watching a tutorial on youtube today where bones were put on the face to make new expressions, eyes opening and closing, looking right or left, smiling etc.

Is there any special reason why you would do this over using blend morphs or is it just personal preference?

Hi Lightman,

Thank you for the link to Vern. I have sent him a message and we'll see if he responds.

Hi, I was having a look at the contents of the Library today. Under Effects there is a folder for Blend Morphs by Victor Paredes. I opened all the files to see if I could see how they were made, but I can't make head or tail of them and they are not in English. I really need a good in depth blend mo...

Oh thank you Jonbo :D I didn't edit all the other views for this character (not yet anyway). That would have taken me sooooooo long. I'm not really sure what Smith Micro were thinking when they released the Character Wizard. A wizard to my understanding is supposed to make things happen a lot quicke...

Hi, I have been playing with the Character Wizard. At first I was horrified at the characters included. They just look so crude. However, because they come with animation presets that are customisable so I thought I should persist. The skeleton is all that really interests me at present, as that is ...

Please Note!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have reported this issue to PayPal today. I had put it off for a while in the hope that Vern would have made contact, based on the fact that people on the forum had said Vern was of good character. It really does not look like it to me, from where I am standing. He...

I have customised a character from the Character Wizard in ASP 8 and want to animate some ponytails.

Should I put the Head in a Bone layer which is within the character bone layer and add bones and then animate them. Is this how it is done?

Hi All,

Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction to view a tutorial on animating a characters hair. As a beginner I need a step by step if anyone knows of one.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Brooke I bought Crazytalk Animator Pro about 2 months ago and played around with it. At that time, it was very new, infact I think it had only just been released, so there was not a lot of tutorials available to help. A few more have been produced since then. However, I stumbled across ASP when I...

I sent Vern a message on his YouTube account last night. Lets see if he responds.

This is getting so embarrassing!!!!!

Jonbo, you are a genius. It worked!!!!!! Thank you.

I'll have to wait for more information to be released regarding the use of the Character Wizard.

Thank you for your response. At least I know now. I am a newbie. So, am I right in thinking that the only really time saver here is that you don't have to rig the character yourself and you just customise once in the editor window, and it allows you to use the walk and jump cycles with this bone rig...

Hi All, I upgraded to version 8 on the 8th and was very excited to start using the character wizard. I also watched the Webinar when it was first broadcast and was very happy to hear that the Wizard is customisable. Although it is possible add your own custom heads, hands, eyes, nose etc, in the app...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have already done that a few days ago.

Genete, thanks so much. I am not sure how I will be able to get a refund if I can't get hold of him, as PayPal ask for you the customer, to contact the seller to arrange the refund, but as you can see, no joy there. Also, Paypal has the same email address as a contact for him that I have. This is so...
