Anime studio Tutorial - 04 Basic Character Colouring

[pitik015]

Hi. Is possible to add a drawing made by me? to add in program??

[jotoonkid]

@pitik015 Absolutely. But you'll have to manipulate that image, and the flexibility for that really isn't so great. You're better off either turning your image into separate image files (Tutorial Month - July 29th - Make yourself into an E-card, or not) or tracing round the image and making it into vectors (Tutorial Month - July 19th - Tracing your character)

i dont know what i do wrong when i press the down arrow to put the legs behind the pants the color of the legs disappear

[ashlea1997]

@GamerXtraLife I had the same problem but what I did was at the top left hand corner you click draw then click lower or raise shape and it will work :]

I'm Gonna Post My Results for this tutorial (But I am A Sucky animator and I have 6 pro)

[RrRMusik]

Nice tut. How do u go back shorcut?

[ProductionsCandA]

I can't get the pupil either... it seems to me it doesn't want to put the pupil at the same level of the white.. So, I tried lifting the white... nothing happens...

[XGexDirector]

My eye outline isn't like yours, and the pupil doesn't fill in just has a huge outline of the colour..

[dippman34]

I feel stupid but how come ur guy has that black outline, mine doesnt and that looks real nice

[fediamalysh]

how do i bring a object to front or to back?

[frogger2359]

Hey i am using the same Pro 6 Version and i also cant find the down error tool

[jotoonkid]

The "Down Shape" tool? Its gone. All you need to do now, is select the shape, and then press the up/down arrows on your keyboard. Also, if you want to lower it to the very bottom/top of the shapes, you can press Shift+up/shift+down.

[frogger2359]

Thanks Mate, your tutes are awesome, i am new to using this programme but am very much enjoying working through your tutorials!! i have done 10 straight, that should sort out the couple of problems ive been having, cheers for getting back to me so quick!! keep up the great work

[frogger2359]

Maybe i am retarded, but i cannot seem to get my eye pupil to sit behind my eye lid, so i can pull the eye lid over the pupil, when i select the pupil and hold down or shift down it doesnt seem to move my pupil behind my eye lid

[jotoonkid]

Its unlikely that you are retarded since you managed to type out that comment :P

When making the eyes, first do the white bit. Then do the pupils, then the rest of the face. Hopefully, doing it in that order will work.

[akiliase]

in the pro 6 version i cant fin the down error tool

[MegaMittenz]

So... what do you do to GET the render button? I heard something about registering? Do I have to, to get it?

[Mylenthes]

THATS ILLEGAL!

[Pikazilla]

how do you create transparency in shapes?

[PARKERx87]

Manupulate the alpha channel in fill color/style window.

[kimmykimx]

Hey I need some help on making the nose/mouth darker like your did befor the hair, when ever I click it and press enter like a big block of black shows on the nose/mouth.

[teayangxxooo3]

nice tutorial...keep posting..

[max29297]

i dont understand how you make the mask.... when i click the eye, the checkered goes away

[jotoonkid]

1) Make sure all lines make a complete loop.

2) Make sure you select all 3 loops that make up the eyes, and the head.

3) Make sure you are using the fill tool.

[PurePwnage20]

i dont understand it ...what do you hold down when you click the eyes!?

[jotoonkid]

5:48

I clicked on the edge of the head, and it selected the whole face.

I then held down shift, and clicked on the edge of each eye.

[PurePwnage20]

ok thanks

[1Mihailo]

you probably know wow . so im gonna try ( downloading now AnimeStudio ) To make a cool broject like that . But can you make a tut like that?

[little0squee]

mine doesnt want to go checkered when i select all the points. now i cant color :(

[jotoonkid]

Have you read the comment above?

[foxygal44]

When I try to fill my characters arm, it only select the outline and not the inner what do i do? I followed everything you said in the last tutorial so what went wrong? help!!

[jotoonkid]

You will need to make sure that all the points join up to make a complete shape, and that you are only selecting the points that make up that shape.

You cant just have lines cross over, you need to make sure that there are no gaps in the loop no matter what shape you make it.

[rrroba]

control+r doesnt do anything.. how do i manually render?

[jotoonkid]

Go to File > Render

I think its only in the pro version, which kinda sucks cuz its a really important part of anime studio...

[rrroba]

it wasnt there, so i restarted the computer and registered my thing, and it appeared

[disasterupload]

no it workes for me

[ghosthunter64]

can you recommened any sites or software to make sounds and when you make different camera angles with anime studio do you have to make multiple videos

[ghosthunter64]

I was wondering could you tell me what format is require to Select a Soundtrack

[jotoonkid]

From what I can tell, it is .WAV files.

[jotoonkid]

Yeah

[lahara0127]
