Thanks. I'll check it out. Moho and Opentoonz allow you to scrub audio. Clip Studio doesn't. I don't see how anyone could animate much without it. It would take a very long time just to do lip syncing. Moho make that easy. Relying on the visual wave form is very tough. Also, unless you're in a workf...

Hi. I'm going to start working on a project that's about 1 hour long. It's mostly music videos strung together to make a story. I've been going back and forth watching tutorials to see which software would be best for this. I have Moho Pro 12, Clip Studio Paint EX and Opentoonz and Tahoma2D. I'm mai...

Yep!

Learned a lot from this discussion.
Thanks to you and the other guys who commented.

Understood.

But I was attaching the target bone to the heal and then it would move across to the toe automatically when using the manipulate bone tool.
Worked fine when I put the target bones at the bottom of the leg bones instead of the heal part of the foot.

Ah! I just re did the target bones and targeted the leg bones to the target instead of the foot bones. This worked! But it seems to only work on a character that has 2 leg bones and 2 feet. My original character had a big round torso and 2 feet sticking out from under him. No legs. When I tried this...

1. Select the Parent Bone tool 2. with Alt click, select the bone that will point to a target bone 3. then Ctrl click the target bone And I agree...all bones should have sensible names. Only a masochist would want to work with the default names. :D Hope this helps. Hmm. I tried what you suggested. ...

The right leg links to the left target bone.
The left leg links to the right target bone.

This explains why the legs cross.

I checked again. They're linked correctly. I'm calling Left and Right by the character's perspective. Not mine.

OK. Here are the corrected links. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3nfkyu8rz3ixdvn/Screen%20Shot%201.png?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/tf7f9h25zw4tiy5/After%20pressing%20Z%20or%20S.png?dl=1 [img] Just to keep it all together, pressing Z and S make it distort.

I uploaded two screen shots. One before hitting the Z, or S keys and one after. The A, B, and T keys don't screw up the positions. In your instruction re changing dl=0 and change it to raw=1, I can't find that in the links I copied. https://www.dropbox.com/pri/get/Lost%20Marble/Screen%20Shot%201.png...

Hi. Your tip about resetting a specific bone(s) worked well. I re did all the bones and had an issue again where it just wasn't working right. Did the reset on the problem bone and it worked fine. I also re-did the target bones and still having that distortion when I press z or s. Goes back to norma...

Yikes. I've had this same problem for years and now that I'm getting more serious about my skills, here it is again! Sometimes, when I have more than one bone Flexi bound to a layer (image file) I can get the 2 bones independently influencing the layer. Sometimes not. I go over and over the process....

That was a very creative effort.
My first gig was age 14. Was immediately effective. Never looked back.
Being on stage overcomes the possible emotional upset of having to have an opening line that works.

Been married 54 years now and she loves every song I write. (Well almost.)

Good advice Greenlaw and slowtiger. I should have been coming to this forum regularly. Unfortunately, my time is split between writing/producing and performing my own songs, and making my own music videos (many of which contain my simple animations.) But animation was my first love before I took a m...

I hadn't thought about the exporting from CSP not being vector. Probably won't be a problem in most instances if your original is big enough to count for close ups. But I can see how some would want the vectors in Moho. Especially if you think you'll need to make changes to the line. Probably other ...

Re: FBF animation, I haven't used CSP for FBF animation but if CSP can display an audio waveform on its timeline, that's a big advantage over Krita's FBF workflow. CSP exports PSD file with no problem. It also does let you import wav or mp3 files. One thing it doesn't do is let you scrub the audio....
