anime studio stop motion question

bobsmith · Post by **bobsmith** » Thu Jan 19, 2012 10:43 pm

hello, i am considering buying anime studio pro and i have a few questions. first, if i was to load a sequence of images for stop motion but only few frames could i edit the sequence in asp8 with the bone or morph tools? my idea is to make stop motion puppets but only take pictures of key poses and animating them digitally then adding them together for one sequence/animation.

second, i know i can make 3d objects in anime studio with photoshop images but could i export them as a hole and as a object into after effects? one more thing, can i upload zbrush objects into anime studio? thank you for your help.

Hi, Bob, you can load images and animate them.
Some days ago I reposted a work of Greykid making something similar, they took photos of toys in different poses and rigged and animated them in Anime Studio. The result was very good (and they are great animators), so maybe it could inspire you

3d options in AS are limitated. You can create simple 3d objects, import obj files and Poser's models. But if you want to create more complex stuff, I recommend you to render the 3d parts in the specialized software you want and then compose the stuff in After Effects or even inside AS (you can import your rendered videos with alpha).

I have no time to make videos for any basic thing you can search on google.
