Looks nice. How did you do the shadow effect?

@OLAYNX Geez, I haven't opened up anime studio in about a year. Sorry, I couldn't really tell ya anymore. I should probably try getting back into it :P

@metalwolf59 Any time.

@ndvenckus1 Thanks.

[ndvenckus1]

@metalwolf59 Well I've tried. I've got a few animations posted on my account but as you can see, they're not very detailed and I didn't even set up any rigging. I don't really write scripts very much so I haven't experienced that. Well thanks for commenting and happy animating.

[metalwolf59]

@ndvenckus1 Oh Blender huh? I have it too, and it is much more difficult. I tried 3d modeling on there and then making an animation, but I have a lot of scripting issues... oh well. Are you doing animating on there as well?

[ndvenckus1]

@metalwolf59 I've actually pretty much mastered anime studio as far as knowing the program since then.(because I'm certainly not the best animator alive) Although I certainly didn't give up on animation. I actually moved to an open source 3d program called blender.(which is much, much more difficult) But thanks again for commenting I really appreciate that. :)

@ndvenckus1 Sorry, I forgot to say that it was called perspective shadow. Have you improved since or did you give up?

[ndvenckus1]

@metalwolf59 What you are talking about is called a perspective shadow. those do look much better and more realistic, but I was still learning the program back then and didn't know about perspective shadows. But thanks, I really appreciate the comment. :)

You're shadow has to be attached to your character, it looks like some floating ghost is following it. Maybe you could stretch the bottom of the shadow to attach it to it's feet?
