Hey man. How's your AS stuff coming? Still doing well? Still looking for a team?
π: 0 β©: 0
Pretty good, I've been really busy with work and music right now, haven't had much time to work on my puppet rigs, but progress on one rig in progress is going well. And sorry, I can't give you the batch file to the Shining Armor video seeing as its not entirely mine, others from the Bogyle Bronies channel helped so I don't have a say in who can view the files used for their channel. I'll be sure to put more time in AS this month since I've switched from working full time to part time.

I wouldn't reupload it for morally wrong purposes, but I can see why you'd deny me
I work practically all day (11-5) and have nothing to do. I tried bringing in AS, but Since it's a pirated version, you have to have administrator positions to use it and I don't have those. Figured having hours to burn would be a good way to get work done on lots of puppets and finish refining some of my current works I haven't gotten around to.
So, just out of curiosity, I saw your rainbow Dash puppet had an update since the last time I visited that you made mouths a switch layer instead of a dial. Did I influence that, or did you come up with that on your own? I think I'll try working with Actions in my next puppet to see how those work.

Thanks for your understanding. I decided to make it switch because I thought the whole 'dial to change mouth' wasn't the best idea for animation, and I found switch works much better with the lip sync software called "papagayo" that helped out a bunch with the Shining Armor video.

Yeah. I thought that was good. I tried papagayo once. However, I'm too lazy to import my own mouths, really.

Do you have a problem with smart bones in AS 10? I can't get mine to work like it did in AS 9. Once I make an action for a bone, I can't press z to move the bone so that I can morph the vector layer for a smoother leg transition. Do you have that problem?
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, i do too. Before it creates the bone action it asks what you want the bone constraints to be, then based on those constraints it'll let you edit them. its hard to explain but yeah. Also; I think that you have to link that bone to another to edit it and the morphing will only happen when you're in the animation frames. Its a little tricky, but you'll have to get used to it. Thats why I'm taking so long with my puppets, because I'm still trying to figure out how to use them to my advantage. If you can make them work comfortably then you'll be a better animator than I

As if I'm not already better.
I may just continue working in AS 9 for simplicity, then transfer my projects into 10 for animation, maybe
π: 0 β©: 1
haha! you wish!
I'm the best animator in AS for pony animation!
π: 0 β©: 2
yeah, i was kind of thinking the same thing. they should fix the bone thing for anime studio 10.5

OMGΒ CERPERTERSHERN
But yeah. I'll be looking forward to your AS10 puppets, because AS10 doesn't work for me. The smart bones got dumber. :/

Just in case you care, you can upload anime studio 9 files UP to 10. I just tried it.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, thank god for that or I'd have to restart all of my older projects from scratch again.
So you have number 10 now eh?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep. One of the bays had it. I'll be interested to see your new bone work so i can take some notes on how to make that work. I made an animation and my walk animation sucks.
Also, give RD some frown faces. She was smiling at inappropriate times in my animation

Hey there bro.
I've been working on a better Fluttershy rig. I was wondering if you could perhaps go over what you did to make the smart bones work? I've got the body, eyes, mane down (Albeit not perfectly colored) but animating the wings, mouth, and properly getting the lines to work with bending legs is a bit of a hassle. I tried following your RD puppet (Which helped immensely, so thank you.) and I managed to get everything but the smart bones stuff under way.
That being said, once I get proficient with animating, I expect that, if nothing else, I'll try 1-upping you, purely out of friendly competition, of course.

hmm, I can't really explain how the smart bone rigging works in a simple comment, its a little complicated. The best advice I could give you is to watch "Incredible Tutorials" videos (www.youtube.com/channel/UCbJZ9β¦ )
I've learned everything I know about the software from him, they're really good videos
and second, everything I've learned about animating ponies is from Grant Beaudette's youtube channel (not many videos, but they're really good tutorials www.youtube.com/channel/UCyIlt⦠)
And there you have it, everything I've learned is from those 2 channels on youtube, you have the tools to "1-up" me. Good luck with that though, I had a big head start

I understand smart bones a bit, you just made it so smooth. My original Fluttershy had some weird transitions.
