Getting a cut out character back together?

Post by Electric Fox Studios »

Hi, I am new to this programme and draw on paper then photograph my drawings and set the background transparent in photoshop, cut out each body part and import them into anime studio debut 11 all at the same time. However the layers are all underneath eachother, how do I get the layers back to the original image? Thank you!

From your description it sounds like the layers are stacked on top of each other after import. So you might try this:

-Create a Bone layer

-Place all the body part layers into that Bone layer

-Use "Transform layer Tool" to move the layers around until they look like your original artwork. Make sure to do this on frame zero, not after.

Now you should be able to create a rig.
