Re: Animating text attributes

and ... if you wanted more of a roll-over, than a straight cut (which is what you'll get with a basic switch), try something like: in the 3 frames before the switch scale the switch layer from full to zero height, switch then in the next 3 frames reset to full height.. or rotate about x or ....

Re: Masking settings don't update with reference

There are several properties that are not animatable (e.g. layer origin) that, if changed, are not propagated and I have to agree that, even though this is "as per spec", it is, IMO, not desirable behaviour. (I have actually raised two error reports on the masking and the more general issu...

Ah! Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls!! (yeah - alright - I have a small kid so I'm sadly all too familiar with Disney Channel etc etc) ... Is this an SVG import or AS trace??? these are both notorious for generating way too many points. Really best to do a manual trace or at least simplify the layer s...

Re: Best way to lip sync song from the mind?

hayasidist, that's a simple way to do it with a thought bubble. Would a simple white flash scene change to some lip sync also look decent enough? Basically it would go like: Scenes showing characters emotions with voice over music, close up of the character 'singing' and a quick scene change to som...

Re: HS_Shape -- new version

Updated to cater for Mac directory naming (used for the sub-tool icons) ... V8.60 is here --- https://www.mediafire.com/?2ccjncpdqb0131f

There are no functional changes from V8.45 (so there's no need for Win users to take this update).

Re: Making a dial for switch layers

do you _need_ a smart bone for this?? from what you've written you just want switching between image layers!? in which case why go through the overhead of a SB - just use the switch tool to select the active child! But if you want switching plus some other action linked to the SB that's a different ...
