  • Because I can get better looking animation by animating three symbols rather than just one. By breaking up the symbols and putting them on their own layers, I have the ability to adjust the pose of the arm.

  • I draw the character in the pose and then break up the body parts into their own symbols. I will test how well the symbols fit by rotating them from their pivot points before I start animating.  If they are not working well, I modify the art inside the symbols, OR create more accurate art more suited for the pose that I need and convert it into another symbol.

  • How come you break apart that original symbol that contained the 3 symbols within it?

  • how do you make those symbols fitting perfectly?
