Selgin--Yes, if bones could be scaled on x and y, that would be perfect for squash and stretch!

My problem is that I don't use squash and stretch on all of the body parts. For example, I never squash or stretch the head because I want it to look less squishy than the body. On the other hand, I never really tried squash and stretch on the head. It might look better that way. Not to mention that...

Sorry if this has already been posted or if this is incredibly obvious. I've had a lot of trouble using squash and stretch on a character rig and I just found a solution! :D If I just scale the bone, I'm only changing the length of the body part. This isn't really squash and stretch because the appa...

Hi there! Here is a tutorial on importing from Illustrator. I haven't tried it myself because I haven't needed to import since I found the tutorial, but I've been meaning to try it: viewtopic.php?t=8862&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30

Clever solution! As far as the step interpolation method goes, it is possible to select all of the bone key frames at once to switch them to step interpolation. Just capture them all in the selection rectangle and be sure that you're hovering over one of the appropriate key frames when you right cli...

Oh! I completely misunderstood what the problem was. lol You want the camera zoom to be at 24 fps, but everything else at 12 fps? Neomarz's method of stepping the character animation, but leave the camera on smooth and render at 24 fps should do the trick.

Beautiful! Did you actually use watercolor on those backgrounds?

I am not sure how you have set up that test, but it sounds like you're saying that you didn't put any zoom in your time line and when you went to 3 fps, it not only zooms the project, but zooms it over time. If so, that's really odd. I tested a file at 3 fps and my zoom did not change at all (And de...

Wow, nice work on all that secondary motion!

You only spent one day on that run cycle? It looks really good! And the spot where she reaches down for the bread. Nice character design, too.

I have never noticed my camera zoom change when I changed the frame rate. Just did a quick test, and it's not changing on me. Are you changing the frame rate by using one of the defaults from the drop down menu? If so, it will change your project dimensions and could look like it the camera zoom cha...

Those are awesome. I liked the way they stuffed the pigeon into the tube. And the background in the crane scene is beautiful.

Did you actually implement this by creating your own icons or is this a mock-up?

I sometimes feel this way because I'm thinking about all of the little details at once and getting overwhelmed by it. It helps me to write out everything in my mind; tasks I have to complete, the broader objectives, things to keep in mind, techniques I want to use, what constitutes good animation et...

Wow, this looks like a cool project! I love the orange skunk dancing/spraying(?) at the top. And the fight animation is well done. :D I don't know if you're looking for a critique, but in case it's useful, here goes! I had a hard time seeing some of the animation. Some of the clips were very short a...
