You can achieve the classical fbf animation with a mix of bones and control point (CP) animation! Just do the best you can with bones, then start moving points around. I reproduced 2 seconds of fbf animation from the Princess and the Frog with point animation only, here is the results... XudJB28cT7...

I don't know if it's just me, but those are for version 9.5.

Trial versions of Anime Studio 10 will be available soon.

When?

All of this goes to show that it really depends on how much effort you are willing to put into your work, not the tools themselves. You could make a beautiful piece of animation with just a pencil and paper, and I salute anyone who can do just that. Anime Studio Pro has grown to a very fantastic an...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime_Studio I have already updated the latest version and release date in the index card in the Wikipedia article for Anime Studio. However, a few other things should be updated by now, such as the last bit of History, and maybe some of the Features. I would do it mysel...

My first version of Anime Studio was Debut 8. It was for my birthday, on July 2012. And I remember not too long after that, version 9 was being released.

Well, okay. The yellow circles are now visible through the masked holes. But what do I do now to have the circles go through the holes from beneath the purple shape and then above it once they are outside. "...make the yellow shapes appear half inside the hole and half over the purple shape.&q...

Two issues with that. 1) The purple shape has a halo effect, so overlapping with half a duplicate shape wouldn't hide it. 2) How do I cut down the excessive mass without distorting the hole shapes or even the shape of the shape in general? http://i62.tinypic.com/lcdxh.png If there is no simple way ...

I created a shape with holes in it. To make the inside of the hole look darker, I made another dark colored shape and put it underneath the first, beneath the holes. http://i59.tinypic.com/mcur12.png Now what I want to do is be able to have those yellow circles I made able to fly out of those holes...
