Even I can help out with this one . You can set the number of frames in the "project settings" window (under the file menu I think). 72 just happens to be the default.

Changing the resolution SHOULD change the line width in my opinion because you don't want the line widths to change from rendering DVD quality and web output. I agree that this is what you would want most of the time. However, I have a case at the moment where I want absolute line widths irrespecti...

I'll save you the trouble by telling you that AS does change the width of styles as well. I often have 20 or more styles in an anime file, so it's still a pain to revert all of those widths back as well, especially if you just want to see what it looks like at a different resolution.

OK, thanks for your help. It's actually really annoying that you can't change the render size setting without affecting the shapes. Heyvern's idea of being able to specify the width of lines as an absolute or relative value is a much better solution. The other problem is that there's no easy way to ...

Read this: http://www.lostmarble.com/moho/manual/layerwnd.html and search for Layer Settings -> Scale compensation. -G Hi Genete, I don't think this is a scale compensation issue either. I have scale compensation turned off on all my layers, but that doesn't stop Anime Studio from resizing the line...

well I guess that´s not possible as the line width settings are relative values, not absolute ones. There is no option of setting the line width to absolute pixels... Marco Are you sure about this? My understanding is that the line width is in pixels. That's why the program has to explicitly change...

Anime Studio has this feature where, if you change the render width and height in the Project Settings dialog, it automatically resizes all of your line widths. This is the behavior you would want in most cases, but not always. Anyone know if there's a way to turn it off?

Thanks

Think about this... all these shapes can be animated without bones as when you use image warping. All the cool tricks for doing stuff to vector shapes will effect an image texture fill effect. I thought about this, but Mike did not explicitly say that a texture fill would conform to the shape for p...

For example the shapes can be sorted based on relative X's position of a set of bones. That set of bones can be manually moved and then the shapes would be automatically sorted... One day I'll give other surprise witht a new script... Wink Nice idea! I can imagine that working rather well. I hope L...

The REAL feature to me in this upgrade is for something that not many people used anyway because it worked so badly... the texture fill effect. The reason I'm not as excited over this feature is that I thought it was already possible with image warping and masking. Ditto for the layer ordering, usi...

I think I'm starting to see why this upcoming update is getting such a lukewarm reception. It doesn't address some of the core issues users are currently having with Anime Studio. For me it's the whole Catch-22 situation with layers and shapes. Say you want one shape to mask out another, or you want...

I second this request. It would also be useful when you want to use the magnet tool, while not affecting some of the points.

This feels scriptable to me, and there might already be a script around to do it.

Cool new features. Can't wait to try them out. Here's another example. Notice how the character's hand goes in front of and behind her head, and in front of and behind her leg: I can't work out how you did this with just animated layer ordering, or are the top half and bottom half of her torso on se...

One of the things that has always frustrated me about the 2D animation industry is just how conservative it is. It took years -YEARS! before the industry got on board with using Flash, I felt as though I'd been telling producers about that one for quite some time. Now, everyone's using it. I think ...

We've been talking to some individual members of the press about the new features, but as far as I know there isn't a press release planned right now. I've also given some demos to a few users, but so far there hasn't been much buzz here at Siggraph. Once the show is over, hopefully I'll be able to...
