You need to work, and work hard, spend huge amount of time in your art, or you might as well sell candies on the corner of main and fifth avenue!
ok, I cant just "work hard" when i have no idea what to work hard at. I know the basics but you just cant give somebody adobe flash and say "work hard" and you can make 3d animations. Where exactly do i start? What are some common techniques? What does the red button do! Im not looking for someone to make it for me. I have no idea how to use this software to make anime style animations so id thought id ask some professionals. Ive got some nice help so far and have been blow away by technotise. Its been helpful. I now need help on designing characters. I have enough creativity to create my own but i just need help capturing that anime look. Thanks

You being a little simplistic here, to learn animation you need to roll up your sleeve and work at it.
You want to make anime, good then, just learn the basic of drawing in Anime Studio and spend your days drawing anime style characters, then, when comfortable with the drawing tools, just read the tutorials that comes with it then rig them, then animate them, it is all in the manual.
No one will tell you how to draw anime, you got to learn that yourself by first copying existing one, then, from the knowledge you get from that, start working on your own.
This is a bit pointless, if you had started to work with ASP when you started this thread, you would be making your own anime style by now.
Just get at it, it will then come to you, and RTFM, this is the basic of all things related to Anime Studio, we all started there.
You say you have no idea what to work hard at, don't you want to make anime, if yes, then there is what you need to work hard at, and quite frankly you will never get to anything if you just hang around chating about what you need or want to do, just get at it, and you will get there!
Man its like you literally didnt hear anything i just said. Ok so, when i was making my first animation......i used that knight with the fruit helmet from the content library. When i animated him, his torso vent and his fruit jiggled automatically whenever i moved him. I want to know how to do that with someones hair. (to move automatically). This is something that is impossible to figure out your self imo, so i needed some guidance. This is a example of why and how i ask these questions. I actually run the idea and then i ecounter a problem! I tried making MY character and i just couldnt draw quite what i was thinking of so im thinking that i might need a waocom tablet to be more in control. I want to know is making those kind of characters only achievable with the tablet? I know that questions answer now! Also, why do you assume that all i do is chat about it rather than doing it. I obviously go on asp8 to experiment on what im learning.
