Anime Studio Tutorial 08 - Setting up bones using areas/Waving man

[Digby2583]

I have been learning to use this program since your first tutorial, i'd just like to thank you for putting your help up here. The sound quality may not be great but iv'e learnt all the basics iv'e needed to start doodling and creating my own little animations. Just had one question, is it possible for me to create entire little "cartoons" on this program (Anime Studio Pro).

[jotoonkid]

@Digby2583 Absolutely. Although you need dedication, and probably want to start with shorts.

[Darjop1]

Okay you officially suck at making tutorials...I can barely hear you at full volume, you give little to no verbal instruction. I cant even make the person like you did cause you never mentioned how to copy then paste and it would wind up backwards. Dude, it's a tutorial. TELL US HOW ITS DONE. I hate people who make tutorials like this...my god!

[paulcopeland]

Thank you for the tutorial. The parenting of bones is the key to proper bone manipulation. Best wishes and seeya.

[Luigijack101]

Ok...So I have my animation and bones set up and when I move a bone(hand) with the manipulate bone tool the whole animation moves with the bone(hand)...HELP!!!

[luvpedobera]

wow so much animation tutorials for britians :D

[IrvinPwnz]

Omg Thankk U IVE BEEN LOKI NG FOR thIS EASY ASS TUTORIAL THANK U!!!!!!

[TheCentrix]

When I use the translate bones tool it only drags the bones, not the object. Someone posted that he had the same problem but fixed it, but he didn't say what he did to fix it... -__-

Also, when YOU go to "frame 1" I can see images of the different objects on the left side and keyframes on frame 0, but I don't have that at all...

[ogiemon]

whats kinematics

[PLUGWORKS]

YOUR TUTORIAL IS MISSING THE BIND TO BONE AND MORE ....AND BODY PARTS SHOULD BE IN DIFFERENT LAYERS

[PLUGWORKS]

YOUR TUTORIAL IS MISSING THE BIND TO BONE AND MORE ....

[RapInstruPro]

How made you it contours in black and the remainder in white? help please

[aarongabbard]

Yeah I can't get frame one to Keyframe, nor Can I drag My Bones and Picture over, When I Try to drag my Bones Over My Picture doesn't fallow them

[Traceelementt]

I have not all symbols like you. can you help me. some symbols are not listed in my tool box

[fastwebreview]

ok I did it all right but I can't seem to have a switch layer on it so I can lop sync

[milkaholic77]

Yer tutorials r awesome! I knew nuthin about anime studio be4 this and this really helps. Thanks!

[Myrslokstok]

I made a tutorial för lip syncing in Anime Studio Debut 7 have you done any of that lip syncing stuff for Anime Studio 7?

[JULm3]

I have a problem: I made a person with lots of vectors. How can I put this person in a new File, where i make the animation??

[gabrielandrose]

i have a new question. can you save them to the desktop. the characters so you don't repedly draw them.

[XxPwnurfacexX]

2:45 the little noise in the backround is from a software called steam. You can play games on it.

[giosimon17]

When i Drag 1 onto 2 it really didnt do anything.

[TheDandarillerkiller]

Cute little guy :]

[FlyingPignut]

i've noticed that nothing is mentioned in the PDF about needing points in the right places on limbs, because if points arent near joints it doesn't look right when you use the bones.

Also you need to move each body part pretty far away from others. More than i noticed as shown in the official tutorials when adding bones, otherwise it seems to affect other body parts even slightly which is annoying.

[threemilesfromthesea]

Best Anime studio tutorial on the web. Made it a lot easier to understand than other web anime studio tutorials. Many thanks.

ps: I learned that when you seperate the limbs, move them as far apart as you can.

[Simstyle12]

Anime studio is so damn easy. ANd i have alot of ideas. But i never go thru with it cuz my sucky computer takes to long on rendering

[beetlezumbie]

your tutorials are 5x better than a lot of others i've seen. thanks so much for putting these up!

[relative2reasoning]

Your tutorials have helped me SO much!

Awesome work and thanks for taking initiative to make these ^^

[Flarrm09]

I'm frickin breaking out in hives. How do I attach the drawing to the bone! I have the drawing layer insdie the bone layer, what more is needed (cry more than the previous person)

[gabrielandrose]

HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP!!!!! how do i put the bones together? how do you put bones correctly? dop you hightlight the points? someone help (cry)

[jotoonkid]

The bones don't link together, you can just get them really really close as if they were linked.

[magicdecker97]

i did this but instead of making the person in AS6 i did it in pain then when i went to put the shapes back together they moved weired and white covered nearly every part except the bones? do u know why it did this?

[jotoonkid]

Paint doesn't have alpha, and so any background white will stay there. If you have no idea what alpha is, you should probably just stick to making people in AS rather than paint.

[joesking]

so so sorry it worked like REAL gd, hope u forgive me

[pokefan9000]

no i hate this when i do the exact same thing it just distorts and messes up the layer into all sorts of dumb shapes

[Mylenthes]

When i try to use bones it wont edit points it just grabs the whole layer

[jotoonkid]

There are two tools that look fairly similar. Bind points, and bind layer, they are next to each other.

I am guessing you clicked the wrong one.

[Starvois1999]

it didnt work for me

[Georgerees1234]

chears ure awsome

[SlapphePikkur]

If you are too retarded to understand a simple tutorial, i have no idea how you managed to turn on your computer...

[jotoonkid]

: )

[joesking]

thx a bunch i never new how 2 make the time line go longer. thx thx thx thx thx thx thx thx

[GrimmTeather]

When I use the translate bone tool, it only lets me drag the bones.. the objects won't drag with it. When I first did this tutorial it worked.

[GrimmTeather]

oops... I just realised what I'd done.

[TheCentrix]

@GrimmTeather can you tell me what you've done? cause I have the same problem and you didnt mention what you did wrong

[aldillo45]

omg this tutorials really work!

and mexico FTW by the way

[Sparkes669]

nice tut, I'm gonna try and do it now. I hope you do more and I shall be subin! =]

[edoart20]

waoooooo, why the best videoos are in english.... great video friend, very cool...

[YMN1]

mexico sucks

[edoart20]

fuckyou stupid,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[jotoonkid]

He's trollin' you! Don't feed him!

[edoart20]

write well, I do not understand anything you say. Not okay to say that mexico sucks, I respect the Americans but I see that are not so respectful, they're rude.

[jotoonkid]

Basically, A troll is a smelly, spotty teenager, like me! But instead of contributing something good to the world, they go out of their way to annoy people on the internet.

If you get angry, then the troll gets what they want.

[edoart20]

you are right friend, I angry me that criticize my country. and this response was not for you sorry for you because you do not speak ill of my country. good luck friend, continues to rise more interesting videos.

[DWJvideoz]

hey! is it possible to use finger bones?

[jotoonkid]

Yes, but this was just being a simple tutorial.

[tpott05]

ok its me again i know im getting anoying but wen i put the llimbs back together it just drags the bones pieces and not the limb or it shrinks the peice and never goes together

[jotoonkid]

"ok its me again"

Hi

"I know im getting anoying"

Nah

"wen i put the llimbs back together it just drags the bones pieces"

Are you still on frame 0?

Is the vector layer inside the bone layer?

Those are the two things I can think of that may be causing your problem. You need to be on a frame other than 0, and the vector MUST be inside the bone layer.

[TreyRust]

are you gonna make the next bones tutorial soon?

[jotoonkid]

Sure, why not?

Is there anything in particular that you would like me to focus on?

[TreyRust]

well, you said you where gonna make another video about bones... like you said you where going to talk about point binding... but I learned about that already... but you should do a video anyway... other people would like it...

[jamestbond1]

dud i've had a question for u for such a long time plz answer it it is in a video response i sent you

[jamestbond1]

dude i made a video response of a question i made for you. it waskind of confusing so i made it to a video the quesion is on the vid but it's how do i connect a arm or leg to a chest or waist

[jamestbond1]

it's jamestbond1 again and how do you make 1 layer go behind he other one?

[jotoonkid]

Im assuming you already have the layers made.

Simply click on one and drag it to the correct order.

[jamestbond1]

dude you are the best at this stuff!

[jamestbond1]

when you export an animation will it only export what it is the box? and can you make the box bigger?

[jotoonkid]

The box shows what you can see and what you can't. What do you mean by bigger?

1) To increase the resolution, go to File > Project settings and play with the height and width. That will make the picture bigger, and more detailed.

2) You have to imagine the box like the viewport of a camera. You can't make it bigger, but you can zoom in and out, which has the same effect as making the box bigger. Go to camera tools and "Zoom Camera", or press "5" on the keypad.

[PurePwnage20]

the fisrt time i did it it worked now it wont let me add bones?

[jotoonkid]

You have to be on a bone layer, and on frame 0

[jamestbond1]

your videos are so much help

[AntoineBigAnt]

YOUR VIDS ARE HELPFUL THANK YOU !

[z900pp]

Nice!

[orangemonkey96]

how do i make a background with this program, then put a character i made in this program on top of it

[jotoonkid]

Go to File>Project settings and double click on the box in the middle. That is the background color.

- - - OR - - -

Make a separate layer, a vector one, and draw a box that covers the whole of the purple box. Then color it in.
