Hi Genete.
Did you do the sample but vertically? If yes congratulations.
I probably would post a new step tonight. If not you have to wait until 9th.
Is rotating the main bone layer 90 deg cheating? :)

Hi Genete. There is one problem that I had but solved. When I created my "A B C" bones I still had my Master bone selected so they became parented to the Master. I figured out that after you create the Master bone, deselect everything and then create A,B and C bones so they are parented to...

Hi Slice. I think Genetes new tutorial he's working on sahould clear things up a lot. I'm with you. I can't seem to translate what he's saying into practice as yet although I do understand what's going on I just need to know how to set it all up in AS.

Thanks for that Genete. That makes it a LOT clearer as to what exactly is going on with the bones. I still don't understand how I might go about making this bone setup though. Is it possible to get a VERY written step by step basics on how one would go about it?

Hi MattVG.
Here is a line of ants I made with a bone string. If you took a little time with it using onion skins as a guide you could get a pretty reasonable result. Anyways you're more than welcome to use this if you wish.

Hey, I don't know if this would work but you could make one ant on one layer and then create a line of bones. Duplicate your ant layer as many times as you want and create the same amount of bones. Parent each ant layer to each bone using and you should have a very flexible animated line of ants :) ...

Hi Genete, Here is a very quick 3D rig similar to your AS rig but with far less bones. The model is made in LightWave 3D and constructed with polygons and points similar to what AS uses. I could have easily mapped nice brush strokes around the eyes and mouth etc but i did'nt want to spend too much t...

Thanks for your amazing examples Genete. What is confusing me though is this amazingly complex bone rig required just to get a very simple axis manipulation of 2D planes in 3D space. Would'nt things be made a lot easier if E-Frontier included a basic 3D bone rig in the next version of AS or am I com...

Hi Genete. Here is the first question.
Are you using a script to drive the bones on the 3D axis?
